CincySYR (@315and513) reportedHi @hbomax I got a bone to pick with yall. I got hearing issues and yall dont got auto generated captions so half the words are lagging behind what they’re saying. Please fix this - its not a hard ask. Its been like this for 4 years.

SenSational11 (@sussybaka1118) reported@MeatGang4Ever @JamesGunn @hbomax Fair point, its more of marvel problem Im just hoping DC won't follow suit. Personally I wanted a green lantern film rather than this
-
SouthernSentinel (@ProfessorXtwo) reported@donfrederick2 @BarackObama @hbomax Ok Boomer First off if you’re a journalist you’re well aware of the fact you’re dead smack in the middle of committing an ad hominem attack. Why are you trying to insult me instead of presenting a strong argument based on facts, evidence and Logic? 2nd Your arrogance you think you’re correcting people but you’re not the answer you’re part of the problem. Old , outdated, partisan, obsolete “journalists” kissing Obama’s 🫏 instead of holding him to account and actually doing their jobs was EXACTLY the problem.

Soul 🍻 (@Soulinagomez) reported@jdnoscrubz @hbomax @HBO Dude same!! I hate when they don’t get actually giant spiders, or a demon baby. Like come on, lots of cigar smoking babies that’d love the work. Theories say Walt Disney head is still frozen somewhere. Feel like using that in the pickle jar was a missed opportunity 😔
-
Pedro L. Rodriguez (@plrodriguez) reportedOK, obsessed with #FourSeasons (@hbomax), people, issues, dynamics that resonate deeply with me and Mr. Domingo, the show’s costume department LOVES YOU 🥰
-
Anya (Ex Rhaenyra fan) (@ekkudi_) reported@HouseofDragon @hbomax f morons .u destroyed the series for me .why the f you inserted that rhaenyra mysria scene ? because u wanted her to be hated to give redemption arc to a r#@st ? hope Ryan condal nd every other mf involved with destroying george work get their career destroyed

Alexander Anthony (@HawkmanAlex) reported@BarackObama @hbomax I was a young man, just starting to work. I bought a tan suit because of you! (And, apparently, Larry David.)
-
Colton (@colton_weaver7) reported@HouseofDragon @hbomax The worst got show
-
Donald Campbell (@donza41) reported@Yr_HarleyQuinn @JamesGunn @hbomax Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern was good, especially at the time, the story was a bit rubbish and the villains were terrible.
-
MJ (@mjsburnr) reported@NFL @Seahawks @hbomax Yeah, no wonder the discipline issues went away QUICKLY when MikeMac took the lead. With Pete, this kind of **** would probably fly, tbh.
-
RENA (@jaimereyestwt) reported@ChenY6627 @hbomax Thank you 💔💔💔😭 I've been trying to play off how upset i am about it as a joke but i'm genuinely having the worst year ever and the one thing that would cheer me up is more jaime content but Noooo ........ they hate all of us .... #whatever we will overcome this problem
-
JozeThePenguin (@Alejand97241625) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial Wow, MCU logic already in work.
-
e. (@Ebo_kneee) reportedI’m trying to watch my show and this app keep crashing mannnn @hbomax FIX THIS DAMN APP
-
DblA-Ron (@DblA_Ron_Wolf) reported@hbomax Why does the app have such a Low Sound. The Ads are Loud AF but the movie is low and hard to hear. Anyone have this issue? Its like every Ad and the sound gets lower and lower
-
Marcø😵💫 (@__pil0__) reported@AdamSchefter @hbomax Here come the retards who dont know basketball and barely know football talkin bout “Mitch a terrible coach cuz he lost the his first ever finals appearance as a first year coach”
-
GraceLynn (@FullOfGraceUS) reportedMonsters of God on @hbomax is the documentary that the Tiger King director mentions in the first episode of Tiger King. It's really good so far. But the problem is HBO only releases 1 episode per week, and is going to drag this thing out for two months. The appeal of Tiger King was that it was binge-watched. People lose interest when you have to wait. It's 2026 now. People don't even know this exists because no one is wasting their time watching something for one hour a week. Do better HBO. Catch up to the other platforms that understand what brings clicks and views. I think Monsters of God could be a huge hit if HBO wasn't stuck in 1999.

Louise Emma Allen (Johnstone) (@JLouise95662) reported@BarackObama @hbomax Oh my Lord, help us, if this man is still walking around bragging and boasting !
-
Mr. Venom (@BatFamNerd) reported@SupermanTheBrit @wbgames @hbomax I do agree with you but I gotta admit Lego Green Lantern would work too
-
fka & aka BrickWerk (@Brick3BC) reported@EAMaddenNFL @Seahawks @hbomax Well now you can add Terion Arnold to the game. Please make him a free agent so I don't have to undo all my hard work of missing 384 players. Or better yet, when teams announce their final rosters, add the missing players
-
Ryan (@_ryanlikesports) reported@HouseofDragon @hbomax THE WRITING IS AWFUL. Every character who does something is actually MEANINGLESS CUZ EITHER NOTHING HAPPENS OR YOU DONT FINISH STORYLINES. Ive never seen a show try and ******* MILK 5+ seasons like this absolute SLOGfest. Its ******* annoying.

Ali Powell (@aliknievel) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial I love your work man but this looks like Lindhoff and friends just plays “spin the wheel of terrible decisions” and you signed off on it.
-
nickb.eth (@nickb_eth) reported@hbomax can you fix the second episode of hard knocks? It’s glitched

Steve K. (@Steveneska) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax @DCOfficial The hero costumes in the DCU are terrible. You guys need to improve that
-
PJ (@WDE_PJ) reported@BarackObama @hbomax Nope, no one did. But, while I have you, were you 100% trying to cause a race war or was it the ole let me just stir **** up? You’re an awful human being.
