Uh Oh

better than paramount i guess

Guess this is the end for WB ever making anything good again. May as well wait another 20 years for their stuff to become public domain.

Sequel to the Owl Movie when?

I don't think they'd allow Disney to buy, nor that Disney themselves would be interested. They're way too bloated at this point.

>>151073995
>one of the few film studios still occasionally putting out films that get people to go to the theater getting bought by a streaming company that would absolutely just shove everything directly onto Netflix to be forgotten in a day
this would be the final nail in the coffin for the film industry as a whole, every single movie made in the future would be lowest possible effort slop designed to be dumped unceremoniously onto a streaming platform.

Remember when the board had contrarian shills insisting Zaslav was actually a genius businessman and was saving WBD with his cutthroat business tactics? and that the company would soon be rolling in money like a well-oiled machine?

lol

>>151074267
Don’t forget that Warner is one of the few studios with an ambitious physical media division, with Warner Archive pumping out things I never thought I’d see like the upcoming complete Tom and Jerry set.

Netflix is almost guaranteed to de-emphasize physical media if not shut it down.

>>151074148
Because it's recent and American shonen crap.

>>151074270
sorry sweetie, only women with terrible personalities are allowed to have same sex relationships

>>151074226
Nta but my guess is that Netflix would have an actual catalogue of IPs to contend with the big studios wich is something they desperately need to survive the streaming wars whereas Paramount's buyout would just be more IPs being hoarded in the hands of fewer dickheads, giving the new owners more of a reason to care for their output instead of expecting money to print itself like Disney did after every single one of their major buyout. In this case, Netflix is less likely to operate in monopolistic terms. IMO I still don't think it's a good thing and wished Warner could stand on its own but this is objectively the less bad among the worst case scenarios.

This would honestly collapse western entertainment culture as we have known it for the last 100 years, I cannot think of a scenario worse than this, even Disney somehow being allowed to acquire WB would be better

>>151073995
Which is the best option? Comcast?

>>151074047
>Guess this is the end for WB ever making anything good again.

That started after Return Of The King.

I have a question. If Netflix has so much money to buy so many companies and studies, why did they close their own animation studio years ago?

>>151074148
>Absolute Batman is not good enough to warrant that

3 more seasons of Caped Crusader then.

>>151074448
>only women with terrible personalities

So, Bugs then?

>>151074782
Or just an adaptation that's accurate and has better fighting than Btas. Shit or worse shit aren't good options for me

>>151074803
4 more seasons of Caped Crusader!

>>151073995
>>151074727

Unironically these are the options from best to worst:

Apple (they have so much fuck you money that they just let their movie & TV projects exist without interference)

Comcast/Universal - it would be sad to see the end of separate WB and Universal film studios but at least Comcast still treats the film studio with respect

I know Warner is so big that Zaslav's salary is nothing, but if the company is in serious need of money you would think that at least one executive would want to wait for the company to be profitable before giving him a huge bonus, let alone have his salary be as big as it is.

>>151074168
dude literally every pics of western media form the last 10 years has been just that.
i do not know a sinlge big western show or movie that was about a cool and competent straight white male heroes and none girlboss female love intressts.
its literally all about girbosses and minority marysues beating up and rescuing weak, evil and pathetic white guy.s

>>151073965 (OP)
Good, Netshitz never had good /co/ shit on it anyway, it’s all just shitty generic poorly-animated sitcoms like Haunted Hotel and Big Mouth and slop like that. The comedians making those garbage shows deserve layoffs, same with the Tumblrite people making beanmouth slop shows on that service like Battle Kitty and Dead End, fuck em, they deserve to get fucked over by Zaslav.

>>151074777
Because their original programs mostly aren’t capable of being long-term, cash cow franchises (the whole Netflix binge-release, short-run system works against that).

Warners owns lots of (you should pardon the expression) IP that Netflix can exploit, while Netflix has produced very few original shows that are enduring moneymakers like Batman, Bugs Bunny, Big Bang Theory or something else from Warners starting with B.

>>151074226
>netflix is the worst fucking option
Really dude honestly like srsly
Your yamaka is glowing so hard and brightly, you realize you have a massive aura thats hurting everyons vision when you're in a room/area. And I don't think you are doing this on purpose. You uh might wanna take a few hours and learn how to re-blend into modern society.

Netflix is one of the best options for warner bros, its gonna throw them into even more debt tho. On both ends but then again as if that shit matters in this day and age. The '''(((chosen)))"" don't even care about hiding this shit or pretending fiances matter anymore. in our horrific parahasidic post-capitalist society because to them.

It's the end times yet again so they are tanking the global economy yet again to force yet another massive continental/global war. Claiming its the end of the world/cycle so the try to bring about the end times getting humanity to kill each other. As they play every side trying to either fully control it or enable it or sell arms give state secrets or etc.
All because they think god is going to come down from heaven and smite humanity. Thanking the jews for trying to control&save humanity but they wouldn't listen. So god will stop this war and send everyone to hell destorying the planet wiping the slate clean.

And the Jews will beg god to bless their goyim for obeying them. Thus god will strip the goy of their humanity and mortal bodies. Turning them into abominations enslaved to jews for eternity in heaven.
When in reality jews serve moloch not satan(who cares for humanity) and he would send them into the abyss not hell for what they have done to humanity for 5k+ years.


Tl;dr it doesn't matter who buys who anymore its all debt but number still go up&brrrrrr
Stop being so antisemitic monopolizes are not real
Only a few companies should own everything. Only the jews should control these companies clearly, because they are gods chosen people

So, does that mean all the Warner Brothers cartoons, even the cartoon network ones, that were deleted by HBO Max will play on Netflix?

>>151075067
No, but Bugs Bunny used to be a cash cow and having thought of Warners most popular superhero (Batman) and their most popular 21st-century sitcom (Big Bang Theory) I was too lazy to look up another B thing.

>>151075067
Space Jam 1.

>>151075160

How? As theatrical shorts? All the classics were openers for films at theaters.

>>151074569
You don't even need to speculate about how this will go, we already have the template with shit like Amazon's purchase of MGM and how that's gone. It would just be that again, but probably even worse because Amazon as a company has its hands in so many pies that they didn't immediately go full retard and dump all but the digital distribution side of things, which Netflix absolutely would do.

The only money generation of Loony Tunes was Eternal television syndication back when kids watched cartoons and didn't have a billion cartoon options. Like Superman, they are primarily remembered for being around forever.

>>151074916
Reacher is the only thing that comes to mind which is ironic considering it's from the same company that gave us Dem Rangz of Rest in Power

Apple is definitely the best option, but I'd put Netflix slightly ahead of the other three because at least they likely wouldn't make it a propaganda mill.

I don't know, I have never sen anyone else have multiple questions asking if you are trans on an applications menu like I have seen at Netflix. Like three separate times they ask about trans, and twice more for what LGBT persuasion you are. THEN it goes to the standard information stuff like portfolio and resume etc.

>>151075340

Sorry, ISRAELI propaganda mill.

>>151074847
I'm actually surprised Apple is not trying to acquire one of the bigger studios just to have a reasonable catalog for their service as well. They appear to have the smallest amount of content of all the main paid content streaming services out there.

>>151075308
The MGM buyout is so half ass too, it made little difference for Amazon. I thought pairing up with Freevee and Tubi is what made Amazon actually viable as a streaming option. Even then most people had it for the free shipping and never once bothered with their streaming service.

>>151073965 (OP)
Wasn’t it speculated a few years ago that Netflix would crumble because it was a money sink?

>>151075067
>>151075326
When Looney Tunes remained on tv in syndication on a variety of channels from the late 1950s to late 1990s, they remained popular and known to most consumers. They were a standard of Saturday morning and afternoon cartoons for a few generations.

Turner getting their hands on all of them and removing them to cable only, then premium cable channels few had, to removing them in hopes of selling DVDs killed the franchise as a pop culture thing.

>>151075433
>Even then most people had it for the free shipping and never once bothered with their streaming service.
I've had prime for years because of the shipping and cashback on their credit card for amazon purchases, but I never use prime video, even though there's stuff on there I would watch because the service itself is so fucking dogshit that I'd rather just pirate the shit. It's more convenient to me to let sonarr/plex grab shit than to just launch the prime video app and navigate their horseshit.

>>151075340
Guess you never saw amazon's Girlboss of the Rings.

>>151075433
My impression is that Apple TV is what they used to call a “brand enhancer,” something to bring prestige to the company. Most of its shows fit into the Prestige, snob appeal category because unlike Netflix they’re not looking for the biggest possible audience. A big content library may not be necessary as long as they decide they want to expand the audience.

>>151075473
The menu is impossible to navigate since it does not remain static, it is entirely algorithm based to things on the lists change each time you see it, and it consistently tries to sell you subscriptions to everyone else's service at the same time.

>>151075515
>Netflix would bring a new age of KINO to DC Animated
Based on what? Have you seen shit like Castlevania and Devil May Cry?

There are exactly ZERO good reasons for Warner Brothers to continue to exist as an entity.
Zaslav's whole idea was to restore then to the Golden Age of the Big Studios, which was a farce because media itself has shifted so far from the days when theaters ruled. Then they tried the difficult shift to a Streaming studio, and largely failed, and drug down HBO's brand with them.
Theaters are fading, broadcast and cable television is fading, Streaming is consolidating beneath a few winners, who had the deepest pockets to fuel the money-fire.

Someone will buy Batman and continue the long slog of repetitive Batman adventures I am sure. But you cannot name another persuasive reason for WB to creak around abusing old post WW2 IPs.

>>151075326
>>151075467
Tubi picked up the license to stream them and they say they're in their top ten most watched programs. People just need a place to watch them for free and they'll do it.

>>151075544
To add to this: nothing made by WB in the last 10 years has been worth their continued existence, unless you are excited that a trans "girl" got a bit part in a theatrical hit movie or something. I could probably go back even further than 10 years. They have been little more than knockoff Marvel Studios for ages now.

>>151075544
Best case scenario would be for DC to get spun off as an independent company and be forced to actually secure funding for future projects based on traditional old school production financing where you have to pitch ideas and find someone who thinks they are a good idea instead of the current top-down dictatorship where corporate daddies send out edicts of what content will be made, regardless of anyone wanting it.

But that won't happen.

>>151075553
LMAO, a TUBI hit, how nothingburger.

>>151075580
>Best case scenario would be for DC to get spun off as an independent company
And die off immediately, as both they and Marvel were doing when they were incorporated into a media giant.

So I was right, this is 100% about saving the endless procession of unimaginative Batman films.

>>151075515
If Netflix doesn't resolve the Tales From The Crypt situation, it would have been all for nothing.

Marvel was bought by Disney specifically because they were becoming wildly successful on their own and making money hand over fist, what the hell are you talking about?

>>151075340
Netflix is the most likely to make it a propaganda mill though

>>151075609
The comics had a heyday in a collector's craze in the 90's, which quickly flamed out.
Stan and co. pawned off the movie rights to absolutely anyone who paid, and a couple of those efforts paid off for those studios.
Disney bought Marvel solely because it thought it could sell those IPs better than everyone else, not because Marvel was itself generating big money.

>>151075622
Oh will you give it a fucking rest already.

>>151075643
>pretending the early MCU era leading up to the Disney buyout wasn't a massive financial success
are you being retarded on purpose?

>>151075669
Iron Man and The Hulk movie were not gigantic successes at the box office, no. Iron Man was half of TDK.

>>151075669
Hancock easily bested Iron Man at the box office.
And noone had to spend billions buying out the Hancock IP.

>>151075326
Looney Tunes has been a thing because they are very high quality. If they were not they would have died off by now with no one knowing them like a bunch of studio content from back then, or the early tv shit
Thing is, they have a baseline audience and potential since everyone knows them, so it only takes something great to get them back in the spotlight. What is hard is finding a way to make them relevant to now. You can, Space Jam 1 in the 90s did, even for shows TLTS and Duck Dodgers has an audience long after they aired, but they rarely do.
How do you even make the characters relevant in 2025 without making them ooc or outdated? That is their challenge they have largely failed to figure out in 25 years

>>151075588
Tubi has over 100 million monthly users.

>>151075643
>Disney bought Marvel solely because it thought it could sell those IPs better than everyone else

You're not wrong, though. Paramount always seems to be running on fumes and them selling their Marvel rights to the Mouse was a big payday for everyone involved.

>>151075736
Kill yourself, Famicom.

>>151075724
The original Looney Tunes shorts were high quality (mostly) because of their intended purpose, which wasn't television broadcast. The amount of shit-tier Looney Tunes created purely for television vastly outnumbers those shorts.

>>151075595
>>151075643
You know nothing about what you're talking about

>>151075751
Iirc Paramount only had the distribution rights for the MCU, not any producing partnership. And even then not for all of them, TIH was distributed by Universal.

>>151075693
Iron Man was profitable and impressed a lot of people because Marvel did that on their own with a b-tier-at-best character.

>>151075786
"No U" isn't a compelling argument to me.
Do better.

>>151075804
>Iron Man was profitable
Is quite a walk-back from "a massive financial success". Gunn Superman was profitable.

>>151075820
Gunn had WB's resources and he used Superman, a guy everyone's known since the early 1940s.
>In November 2005, Marvel Studios worked to start development from scratch, and announced Iron Man as their first independent feature, because the character was their only major one not already depicted in live action. Paramount Pictures was announced as Marvel's distribution partner for Iron Man. According to associate producer Jeremy Latcham, "we went after about 30 writers and they all passed," saying they were uninterested in the project due to both the relative obscurity of the character and the fact that it was solely a Marvel production. When the film did have a script, even the requests for rewrites met with many refusals.

>>151075756
How many shitty adaptions the last 25 years does not matter much. There is so many original shorts that just can be shown forever that people will always associate with them the most
The franchise’s issue is you need new content to be relevant and a high level IP. And how do you make characters popular in the 1940s and 1950s popular now without seeming corny and outdated?

>>151075857
>he used Superman, a guy everyone's known since the early 1940s.
Superman has NEVER, EVER been an easy-mode cheat to box office success.

>>151075878
>We need to make more shitty adaptations of those old 50's shorts
Is how we've gotten the last 80 years of Looney Tunes crapola. It deserves a rest.

>>151075885
Well, a movie still has to be good enough to get people to see it. The sequels to the Donner films and Returns just sucked.

>>151075878
Society has changed too much, humor has changed too much, the animation industry has changed too much, the Great Looney Tunes shorts of yore are a snapshot in time.
They cannot be reproduced. They are nostalgic touchstones to a simpler time that will never return. People need to stop bastardizing them and let them be.
They can no more be "updated" than the Three Stooges shorts.

>>151075923
The point I was responding to seemed to imply that Superman had some advantage because people know who he is. They also know that Superman hasn't been a good time in theaters in decades.

>>151075900
>>151075939
Explain why Paul Rudish's Mickey Mouse shorts were so popular then.

>>151074099
>Absolute Batman animated series when
If it's picked up by netflix, it's going to be puppet rigged bullshit.

>>151075954
Man of Steel and Batman v Superman both made a lot of money, they wouldn't have kept going with their DC Cinematic Universe project if it was losing money right out of the gate.

>>151075973
2D animation is a dead art in the US, it would look bad with any studio unless they made it 3D which has its own problems.

>>151075820
Iron Man was profitable, and well received by critics and audiences alike, and was a huge cultural phenomenon when it released that got general audiences excited about what was coming next from Marvel specifically, and they did it with what was essentially a nobody character at the time in a year when arguably the most popular Batman film of all time also released.

Gunn's Superman was indeed profitable, but it was also an extremely hyped franchise-launching project from an established writer/director in the superhero genre with massive backing from WBD to make it successful. Of the two, Iron Man is the one that made the larger cultural and industry impact. Hell, if it wasn't for Iron Man, WB would still be making nothing but standalone Batman films with the occasional poor attempt to revive the Donner Superman film series.

>>151075491
Apple could use the film catalog, there's a lot that would count as 'prestige' from classic HBO to WB, and even some other stuff, such as New Line, would work plus WB owns the older MGM catalog still.

Both Apple and Netflix wouldn't give two fucks about all that Discovery reality crap and a lot of the Max shows.

>>151075544
Zaslav genuinely had no idea what he was getting into and assumed running a major motion picture studio would be just like running the cheapest of all reality show cable channels.

>>151076055
Plus they literally lied and hid how much debt Discovery was buying with WB which led to him panicking and immediately trying to slash as much cost anywhere/everywhere he could to try to cut his losses when he figured out he'd been had.

>>151074434
>physical media
People are still pretending to care about that?

>>151075580
Being spun off might be useful for them. Then they would have to become competitive and ensure they actually start making things that sell to support themselves again. right now they can fuck around and ruin their own books, cancel successful selling books in favor of editorial fanboyism, and genuinely half-ass everything they do because Big Daddy Parent Company does not want the precious IP farm to fail.

Take away megacorp daddy Warbucksand DC would have to actually make things specifically for an audience and make damn sure their content is something an audience would want to buy.

>>151075280
merch loony toons merch was massive. Also syndication and shit loony toons of some variety ran on every channel for like an hour a day.

The brand/ip was also massive it was an American cultural icon. Dub'd in many languages aired across the world, then you had all the silent stuff which anyone in the world could watch no matter the age group. people would like it and find it funny. Tom&Jerry is massively popular overseas because its silent, getting the rights was cheap as fuck(yes i know its not a WB ip just saying) no dubbing was needed people loved the show and wished Tom would win. The viewer wished they could see him grab that fucking mouse by the throat crush his wind pipe popping his eyes nearly out. Running and single claw from Jerry's face down to his belly and completely disemboweling and filleting&skinning him alive. Slowly eating him from the legs up. viewers kept watching hoping praying Tom would win, but he barely did.

Road running and will e coyote had a normal show made from clips that ran for 22 mins. this was popular everywhere over seas too shits funny watching /ourguy/ try so hard buying (((acme))) garbage in hopes of catching the (((road runner))). Sadly /ourguy/ didn't know what the (((road runners))) along with owning massive parts of media&banks also fully owned acme. promoting its garbage to suckers claiming all sorts of bullshit and lies. not only did none of that shit ever work it was created to kill the user, espcieally if (((acme))) products were to be used in harming gods chosen people the (((road runners))).

point being space Jam kinda killed loony toons. The ip was really pushed in the 90's it gained popularity again at the end of the 80's. The 90's had WB push a lot of modern garbage with a few good hits. Then all the mergers and shit started happening in the 00's WB was split up and a bunch of insane bullshit. So they ignored the brand because of really retarded ownership.
Overseas tho it was still popular

>>151076095
Space Jam was 1996.
The brand didn’t go downhill until the 2000s like you said.
So why blame Space Jam?

>>151075724
>How do you even make the characters relevant in 2025 without making them ooc or outdated? That is their challenge they have largely failed to figure out in 25 years
The problem there is that very little content is being made today. And the stuff that is being made is a mix of 20+ year old IPs still being pushed out, or some old franchise from the 80s brought back for a third or fourth reboot all over again. The 80s nostalgia push never really died so really almost any attempt at a relevant character in 2025 is going to be dated.

>>151074847
>the movie theater experience
we're lucky if we get a movie every decade actually worth seeing in the theater

>>151076080
People still don’t understand why someone might want to own an HD copy of their favorite movie or show that the owner can’t take down (yet)?

Anyway the Tom & Jerry collection will have cartoons that have never been on streaming and probably never will be.

>>151075609
>>151075693
Also the buyout came after a decade of successful Marvel movies. Marvel movies made up the bit tent movies of the 00s as well, they were just made by a variety of different studios. But X-Men and Spider-Man were huge franchises. Even Ghostrider, Punisher, and Fantastic Four got sequels.

>>151076095
honestly read into the ownership of WB ip's in the 00's even tho WB owned everything right. Because of all the companies that split ownership was wonky as fuck. meaning a WB company would have to pay a fuck load of money towards anyother WB company for the rights to use X characture or X etc. So in the west the ip was shafted till the 2010's then you had all the copyright stuff that was coming up. Which made wb push shit into overdrive creating wtv garbage they can to protect the ip.


Then more merges and bullshit. looney tunes&bugs was the face of WB for decades till the 2000's happened. Higher ups finally started trying to push looney tunes&bugs again. they did that 1000 mins of classic animation promising they would release all sorts of great cartoons.

Which they did create a bunch of cool shorts slowly releasing them. Then more mergers&buyouts happened. BUGS bad ANIMATION bad. NON-JEWISH CREATED IP CONSIDERED AMERICANA AND NATION ICONS VERY VERY BAD AND ANTISEMITIC.
I dont care if you already have nearly 3 2D animated movies done a few tv shows tons of shorts for youtube done. No one wants to watch this garbage its being written off for taxes never to been aired or seen.
Then the leaks started happening, release a movie with no promotion at the worst time of the year while also paying reviewers to say its garbage and how 2D animation is fucking trash. You know all when anime is making record breaking profits world wide.

bullshit inane faggotree on releasing stuff to streaming services doing everything they can to tank the IP claiming loony tunes is a worthless IP, all while hoping to chop it off WB selling it to the highest bidder in the future.
shits insane and sad all the heads at discovery are gross monsters

look at how many views loony tunes shit has. look at the comments people all across from ever age demographic saying how much they love the ip. Yet seething jews at discovery wont stop trashing the IP, wanting to sell it.

>>151076158
Yeah, Space Jam was a dumb movie, but it was really popular with kids, made a lot of money. It was Back in Action from 2003 that bombed hard. It just wasn't a funny movie that anyone thought was worth seeing.

>>151076295
Please don’t look up the producer of Looney Tunes, their seniormost director or their resident voice actor. You can’t take the shock.

>>151076095
What killed Looney Tunes was said earlier, they were taken off tv for the sake of DVD collection sales in the early 00s. They remained off tv for a fairly long time before being put back on boomerang, a channel that few had. So a generation grew up having never seen any of the classic shorts at all and that just dropped the IP from the public mindset moving forward. Kids did not watch them, don't really know a lot about them, and honestly do not care any longer either.

>>151076328
>Greg Ford once asked Blanc what was the difference between Daffy and Sylvester's voices. Blanc said to him that Daffy is a Jew and Sylvester is a Gentile.
Sufferin' succotash

>>151075900
You are right in that trying to remake the shorts like Looney Tunes Cartoons or Wabbit will do nothing and shouldn’t even be attempted. The format is outdated as is and even if it is not it will never remotely come close to the original’s quality and will be seen as lesser
The closest I think they got to successfully modernizing the characters was Looney Tunes Show, and how that seems to be the only adaption that has gotten talked about in a long time. Even then, they are still too mellow and missing the looniness

>>151073965 (OP)

disagree

>Zaslav genuinely had no idea what he was getting into
I find it weird that nobody seems to think Zaslav did exactly what he was hired to do. I called it early on when he started gutting everything - the goal was never to make WBD successful - it was to get it ready for sale.

We're just finding out that they're trying to sell, but it's highly likely this would have been something in the works for years leading up to it. This shit isn't decided in a day.

>weird stilted hybrid animation with really jarring CG elements all over the place that doesn't even slightly resemble the hand crafted look of the source material
yeah no thanks

>>151074727
WB going bankrupt and dying is the best it's been in bad shape since it merged with Time in 1990

>>151077165
I took a look at the Last Call trailer. I guess the character designs and colors are nice, but the animation is on threes and not particularly good so yeah, like I said, dead art.

What if it's a story about a non-girlboss female love interest rescuing a competent straight white male hero?

It's because Apple don't want to enrage Trump. They're basically turbofucked with the tariffs and bidding for Warner is directly confront Trump's desire of the Ellison to control both CBS and CNN. That's it.
If Warner leadership is intelligent they should shed CNN and then became a much more appealing acquisition.

>>151075525
Do you prefer shitty storylines with barely any animation like Young Justice? Because that is the bar for Warner animation.

>>151077530
I'd prefer just something good, but given the choice I'd take Young Justice over the shit Netflix has been farting out any day.

>the most popular Batman film of all time also released.
And then TDK buried Iron Man and deleted it from the collective memory. To the point that RDJr put out those salty comments about The Dark Knight.

>And then TDK buried Iron Man and deleted it from the collective memory.
try a little bit harder anon

>>151074916
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

>People still don’t understand why someone might want to own an HD copy of their favorite movie or show that the owner can’t take down (yet)?
Explain it to me like I'm a retard

Hope you guys are ready for the Netflix adaptions. It's finally Jace Fox's time to shine.

>>151077670
he just did, retard

>>151077688
Finally. A cool Batman.

>>151077530
Everything's bad now. Neither one is good.

>>151073965 (OP)
Why is this bad?

>>151076531
I thought LTC was kinda mid, but TDTEBU was the best Looney Tunes thing since the original shorts.

>>151077503
I meant that is what they are doing. They are already splitting Warner with Discovery, CNN going with Discovery and the other cable channels, alongside their 30 billion in debt.
Netflix and Comcast already said they are only bidding for the Warner portion of the proposed split company. Paramount is unique is bidding for the entire company and preventing the split, seemingly as you said just to get CNN to change its slant
Which if they really want it they can just buy the Discovery spinoff and take their 30 billion of debt. I think it is stupid to take they much for fucking CNN but they can blow as much cash as they want

>>151078939
So who do you think will end up buying Warner Brothers?

>>151073
Swear to god, if WB kills netflix it better bring back Rental stores.

>>151079091
>netflix
>stores
what retard is paying for this shit still?

Remember kids, buying a company also means buying their debts.

>>151075544
I hope not god that would suck

>>151074168
That WB from the last decade. Hell, DC Comics made 90% of their characters gay/“bi” Post Future State. They even tried to permanently replace Bruce Wayne as Batman with Tim Fox.

>>151074168
So nothing's changed

>>151079241
Good thing Stranger Things, Squid Game, KPop Demon Hunters, and a slew of other things are there to rake in money for them, then.

>>151073965 (OP)
Wasn't Netflix heavy in debt and almost bankrupt????

>>151074990
this is why I don't go on /tv/

>>151073965 (OP)
Fucking hell we need to start busting trusts again
