    I will feel much better about my $40 purchase after I'm able to successfully move from the Buy-in to the PPV without any technical issues from @hbomax, that's the part making me nervous. I had issues before. And as I am writing this, the audio issues are back. #AEWAllIn

    @hbomax can you please stop showing #lanterns ads ?! The show sucks! It’s awful! It’s full of insufferable girl bosses like the sheriff who is awful and ruins the show by herself and the forced DEI is on an another level. People hate it and we know you pay off the critics

    @JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial If he thinks the worst episode so far is one of the best, well... You know how that bodes for the remainder of the season. Fire this clown already.

    I'm watching the Buy In on @hbomax Is the audio issue on the production side or the streaming side? Does it sound different on other outlets? #AEWAllIn

    @Converge241 @AEW Was just told it’s fine on YouTube so it must be an @hbomax issue?

    Walter (@nyjetsfanlawyer) reported

    @JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial This is terrible. Stick to source material. There are multiple rings. The Green Lantern has plenty of great stories and this is not one of them. John Stewart had his own ring and didn’t need Jordan’s ring. This is boring and not accurate.

    Walter (@nyjetsfanlawyer) reported

    @hbomax This is terrible. It is not the Lanterns story. Why not stick with the source material?????

  • Trina134
    Trina (@Trina134) reported

    @hbomaxhelp All my stuff is set right a bunch of people were having the same issue but it seems to be mostly fixed now. The commentary audio is still a little too low though.

    @hbomax Fire James gun and anyone else who had anything to do with this awful show. Great job HBO you found another way to preach out how much you hate white people

    @JamesGunn @hbomax I cannot believe how bad you are at your job. Truly the worst studio head I’ve ever seen. You are trash.

    @JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial If this was one of the best, then it is in trouble.

    Hey @hbomax you’re going to be issuing a ton of refunds if you can’t fix the audio on @aew All In. #AEWOnHBOMax @TonyKhan
