It's over. 30 billion above what Netflix is offering. Trump's son-in-law is now also involved in this deal.https://deadline.com/2025/12/paramount-launches-hostile-takeover-bid-warner-bros-discovery-1236641640/
>>151625353I really hate that this shit is happening.
>>151625353What does this mean for us?
>>151625394Based based based Fuck Netflix
>>151625424INSHALLAH
>>151625422In theory, eveything stays the same, except things will get a bit less woke and more pro-Israel.
>>151625446Is Paramount owned by the saudis?
When will we get 5 companies controlling 90% of US media instead of 6?
>>151625353This is such a meltdown and typical Jewish tricks LOL This is not a change from their prior offer per share price. This is seemingly higher because they are asking for the entire company, where Netflix is just taking one aspect. They want you to think the offer is higher because the overall number is. They are still spinning off the cable channels in that deal and the other half can sell and debt funneled over there. Netflix’s offer is still higher then Paramount for the aspect they are buying Thing is, you cannot Jew Jews, and Warner is infamous Jews. They see through this
>>151625448What does that even mean?Less females showing skin?
>>151625353Autistic retard shills be like>HOORAY I FINALLY GET MAH CARTOON NETWORK X NICKELODEON CROSSOVERS
>>151625470https://variety.com/2025/biz/news/paramount-skydance-bid-warner-bros-discovery-arab-wealth-funds-1236597217/> In addition, the latest Paramount Skydance offer for all of WBD includes funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), Variety confirmed. Bloomberg News previously reported that Paramount’s latest offer included the involvement of unspecified “Middle East funds.”
>>151625470They're part of the buyers.
>>151625422A million more Olympus Has Fallens and American Snipers except they're pro-Israel too>what about cartoonsLook these people don't give a shit about cartoons, if they don't just stop making them altogether... probably kind of like a return to 00s. More edgy shit with bad writing gets through. Drawn Together and South Park clones.
>>151625501Paramount was always bidding for the entirity of WBD.
I sure love how rich people are fighting over who will get to ruin media.
>>151625527Less woke preach and more conservative preach
>>151625470They're financing the deal but I can't imagine what they get in return from this since Paramount is going to own it
>>151625596Control over Washington DC.
>>151625596They get some PIF Saudis on the board to influence decisions
>>151625353HOORAY I FINALLY GET MAH CARTOON NETWORK X NICKELODEON CROSSOVERS
>>151625353Not that I was rooting for Netflix but damn if it was funny seeing Hollywood types losing their minds over the Netflix deal.
>>151625596It benefits Saudi Arabia that the American population continue to not give a shit about anything so Paramount will push movies that help foster that sort of attitude
>>151625570>>151625592I have corpo fatigue
They're really determined to have Superman go back and flatten Jarhanpur in the sequel, aren't they?
>>151625633Well we're supposed to have laws in place that prevent anything like this from happening but lol. Lmao.
Genuinely surprised these arabs are forking over billions and billions of petrodollars more even after wasting it on a piece of shit literal line in the fucking sand somewhere near their coast.
I want Disney to buy WB so we they can merge Marvel and DC universes together
>buy 2 IPs that zoomers can recognize >win
>>151625689They're trying to play the long con and remove America as a world power, which is funny because we're already well on our way there.
>>151625353time to read "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" by Lenin
>>151625643>Boravia has a right to defend themselves actually
>>151625692Fuck that, I don't want Marvel shit mixed with DC.
>>151625592>preachjesus was a leftist man of color who was executed on a roman implement of torture for being a class conscious political subversive in a client state of Rome-Acts 4:32-James 5:1-6-"render unto ceasar" means pay your taxes and separation of church and state-story of Lazarus is predicated on a man being in hell for no other reason than being rich-"easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get to heaven"
>>151625692i thought disney owned marvel>openly calling for monopoly
>>151625792>Jesus was a leftist>Jesus was one of usLolLmao even
>Thread already ruinedThanks /pol/
I was really hoping for Comcast/Universal, that would've been the less terrible outcome.
>>151625653Netflix and WB haven't merged yet
>>151625689They know that oil money will run out eventually which is why they're literally doing anything to diversify
>>151625834we live in a universe where comcast would have been the 2nd best optionhalf imagine a attempt from disney next
>>151625820what's it like ignoring the part about jesus overturning the money changers' tables?must suck to be so media illiterate
>>151625627They'll shut down Cartoon Network because they're not making many shows right now anyway
>>151625559We know.That does not make their offer better than if they split off the shitty partsThis is the same offer as they made before, it is worse than Netflix’s and they are uncomfortable to unconvinced of the Arab funding source, so they will be rejected
>>151625559Retard.
>>151625353Rooting for them.I want my Avatar x DC crossover
>>151625872Good, fuck their TTGO spam
>>151625689>>151625735>>151625858the reason the u.s. has been fucking with venezuela for so long is because venezuela has more oil than saudi arabia
>>151625872i've heard that so much that at this point i dont care, they aint closing down anytime soon (unless some shit goes down)
>>151625866And that makes him a leftist? Lmao bro you are baiting or you are a retard
>>151625833It's hard to ignore when Trump is so strongly involved in this shit and the Paramount CEO has been so openly right-wing.
>>151625689I hope we get Dead Space 4.
>>151625886"for each according to his ability, each according to his need"vs"teach a man to fish"or "the first shall be last and the last shall be first". you don't think that was class consciousness? not only are you media illiterate but you have no reading comprehension>>151625902>the jews killed himoh you mean the ones in power who were legitimized by rome so long as they got the citizens to continue paying taxes? the same jews who later rebelled and lost because they were elitists whereas jesus was not and talked about everyone being god's children?
>>151625872They'll probably make Adult Swim the main draw of the channel and relegate CN to a smaller one like Boomerang.
>>151625991Are you 12?
>>151625833Unfortunately Paramount’s bid is so politicized it is pretty much impossible to keep it out of that discourse It is not just “Netflix’s woke” so you can ignore them. Everything from Trump’s family investment to Saudi funding to them being zionists first and foremost is political here
>>151625422More Jewish Zionist propaganda shoving into our faces
>>151625991i'm not seething, i'm just responding to conservative dipshits who claim to follow their christ's teachings when what they're doing is the opposite, just because "hurr durr marx bad"
>dc is becoming part of the wrong side of historydisneybros & marvelchads.....we won
>>151626073We get it dude, you're racist, very cool and fun.
Can someone give me a refresher on how WB got bought by Discovery
>>151626099AT&T put it up for sale
>>151626073Wait until you find out who is causing it Elisons are one of them
>>151626073One and the same. The people responsible for giving it all away 15 years ago and celebrating it enthusiastically are only mad about it now after receiving the last update from their handlers.
>>151625353>the people that own Spongebob are possibly about to own Bugs Bunny and Scooby-DooI dunno how to feel about this.
>>151626073>>151626103So nothing for us normal Americans & just be a slave to the agenda, because how do you think this all began? Zio Cuck being typical idiots. No wonder America is failing
>>151625353>It's getting political now because of all the attention it's gotI can't wait for the trump family to own and control all the warner bros IP
>>151625424INSHALLAHSaudis will shit in Netflix’s mouth.
>>151626189>Paramount has halted their DEIYeah, ask the trekkies.
>>151626181Honestly, I'd rather the Saudis buy this shit up than Netflix.Fuck Netflix with a rake.
>>151625353Trump should have died the moment he was allegedly shot, this would have never happened. This is the devil's work.
>>151625873>>151625876Having the backing of Trump and letting WB know this won't be a long process along with having some Hollywood people backing them is what Paramount has over Netflix.
>>151626189Paramount (Elison) has increased the amount of migration and replacement to exploit labor without adding costs They are woke in a far more damaging way
>>151625983Yeah. That makes sense. Cartoon Network has been getting less and less channel space over the years. When Cartoonito and Checkered Past were a thing, CN was only like 5 hours of the day. A full on Adult Swim/Toonami network would be more popular than current CN.
>>151626198Oof
>>151626262Trump is senile so he changes his mind every 5 minutes and he is easy to bribe In short, it is bluff
>>151626319Nowhere near what Oracle and its billionaires, Israel and the Saudis have You are not winning this when the billionaires like Larry Eilson are why millions of browns are brought to the us and other western countries
>>151625353oh, so is life(on another, there was a bit of channel-tan buzz last thread regarding this deal, did anyone catch it?)
>>151625353I know these companies are richer than rich, but surely this amount of absurd money being shifted around means whoever "wins" will be immensely in debt, right? Like, sure, you get to have Batman and do shows and movies with him, but that's not gonna happen until the deal is finalized which may take a while. And it will take even longer to get these projects under new management out. So you're putting all these cash up front just to not see the profit from it until 5 years at least. Production for multimillion dollar series and movies takes a long time, and every major company already has its film slate ready until 2028. Meaning we won't see how the winner influences new content being made until 2030. This is especially fucked for Paramount who wants to make "MAGA" content to please certain parts of America, but by the time they have this deal made and projects are developing, "his" term will be over. I guess they could use it to further his goals outside of the presidency as they see it as a sinking ship, or they really think he's gonna be on the chair forever, but this doesn't end well for anyone involved. With Netflix, at least the long wait will be worth it no matter what, as they're pure capitalists who believe in nothing but money and don't care what's going on politically anywhere. But with Paramount, they are desperately trying to control their output based on current events, not realizing that any propaganda piece they want to put out isn't coming out until it's far too late. The president got Rush Hour 4 to be put into production, but that's not coming out til 2027, and by then he has more stuff to get worried about. Buying all of WB isn't gonna mean they can release a pro MAGA Superman movie by next year. Sucks how Netflix is now the "normal" option of this scenario.
>>151626350>viacom is now a relic of the pastBusiness moves fast. Damn.I member when Viacom strikes on youtube were the big bad
>>151626326Jared Kushner isn't senile though
>>151626389It's just shuffling things around in the vain hope that this new corporate structure will squeeze a tiny bit more profit out of a dying industry.
>>151626389Paramount legit doesn't care about money as long as they can pump out Pro-Israel, pro-Oligarch propaganda.Yeah, the company may go billions into debt. They don't care, it's not their money. Meanwhile they get to swing their shriveled dicks around pretending to be big men.
Here is the resume of the potential Warner Bros owner under Paramount>Oracle founder Larry Ellison reportedly lobbied for Marco Rubio’s “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. The bill seeks to establish a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, as well as to expand the quota of H-1B visas, which allow high-skilled foreigners to stay and work in the U.S. Ellison hosted a $2,700 per plate fundraiser for the candidate in June, and according to FEC filings, donated $4 million to Rubio’s campaign since May 2015.https://www.forbes.com/sites/denizcam/2016/03/12/billionaires-rally-around-immigration-against-trumps-xenophobia/
>>151625353Wold have been interesting to see Warner cable channels switch from Cartoon Network, TBS, and TNT to Nickelodeon, Mtv, and Comedy Central. >>151625422Much stronger library for Paramount Plus mostly. Historically Paramount had way more invested in their tv/cable departments than their film so they had a few decent movie franchise titles and loads of tv content. Inclusion of WB would even things out and give them access to a lot more major film franchises like all things DC comics and Harry Potter. We won't see any significant differences in cartoons for a few years. But expect the big Warner and Hanna Barbera names start mixing with Nickelodeon first. Like Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, and Batman to appear. Probably along with the other older franchises Nickelodeon has been acquiring lately like TMNT, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smurfs, you might get some flashback/nostalgia theme for it all.
>>151626215Both are bad, but getting bought by Netflix would’ve done significantly less damage as WB is already in a shit state and may I mind you that Netflix has NOTHING good on it, it’s all zoomer-pandering crap, ESPECIALLY in terms of animation, it’s garbage singalong koreaboo slop like K-Pop Demon Hunters, normieslop like Big Mouth, toddlerslop Cocomelon Boss Baby shit, and poorly-animated Redditor garbage like Bojack Horseman, the people that make those shit deserved to be layed off. Paramount owns tons of shit so it’d basically be sending stuff like SpongeBob and Beavis and Butthead down with Warner Bros, then the only other company we’ll have to look up to is the shit that is Disney. Sadly, it seems very likely that Paramount will win, animation is fucked.
>>151626458Wait, what? The potential WB owner under Paramount is an anti-Trump guy who's pro immigration?
>>151626458Don’t care. I’m happy as long as WB properties aren’t wokefied under Netflix.
>>151625353Based Saudi's
>>151626487Ellison isn't anti-Trump, he just wants more jeet slaves.
>>151626304>21st century glasses in a sci-fi tv serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWLEcJ_TyJg
>>151626389rich people are boring faggots, yes
>>151625353These companies are insane WB is not worth this much money, (but the IPs) no WB fucked over those IPs and they're not worth as much as they used to be
>>151626389I'm gonna add onto your point- this feels like billionaires trying to buy legitimacy, because they sure as hell can't MAKE it.Let's say Paramount wins. They make their shitty pro-Maga Superman movie where Superman partners with Harvey Weisman to prove #metoo was a scam or what the fuck ever. Will anyone willingly go to actually WATCH it? Like I love the Sonic movies, but if Jim Carey leaves in a huff and we get Sonic fawning over ICE and taking a selfie with Melania, I'm not gonna spend thirty fucking bucks to go see it.And I'm gonna get ahead of it, because I know someone is gonna say something- you can say "uhhh, based??" But be real dude. Come on. You're not going to spend your hard earned cash to be lectured on how great the Republicans are. Be serious, dude. What happens if they pump out propaganda, but no one actually buys it?
>>151626499>"Thank you , come again!">>151626511this
>>151626511Trump is very much against immigration though, so it's even weirder that he wants Paramount to be taken care of by a guy who's against his values, even if it is just to get more cheap labor.
>>151626215>You faggots are hilarious, trying to paint Paramount as jewishDo you not know who the owners are? & how am I pretending when you're not pro American yourself? D you like to be a slave to the Jews just so they can pay you $7000?
>>151625422Cartoon Network will be overshadowed by SpongeBob and Adult Swim will be overshadowed by South Park
I think I'd rather have either Netflix buying out Paramount or Paramount buying out Netflix
I can't see Netflix winning this.
>>151626551>Trump is very much against immigration thoughI'm sorry this is how you find out, Anon.
>>151626534The destruction on the inside would be way worse with Paramount than WB. Gunn would be out, which may please the Snyder bros, but Snyder would not come back to do DC as they've shown to be bros. Not to mention being way more involved with Netflix recently than any other company, so he'd be especially salty if the merge didn't go Netflix's way. So now you have to replace and remake the DCEU for a third time with someone who follows MAGA "views". At best you get another shitty Shazam movie that nobody likes and flops harder than the second one. And then multiple other directors like Nolan and such will just avoid the company like a plague if they want to push them in corners they don't want to be. Tom Cruise is a soulless fuck and will stick by them, but even his movies recently cost more to make than what they gain. So they get both external and internal crises that will fuck over their productions permanently. The letter criticizing Netflix was from anonymous producers because they know they can't talk shit publicly about them like they can with Paramount due to their affiliations with them. Del Toro talks about movie theaters, but he sure doesn't talk shit about the guys who produced his last two movies, and who will not stop giving him money if this deal goes their way. Multiple directors, writers and actors will just cut ties with Paramount to go for other studios, leading only shitty directors to do shitty movies that will mainly fail. Sure, you'll have your Illumination films that always make money, but not a banger output like they're expecting. It's a waste.
>>151625639Yeah but they are not exactly the 5D chess playing masterminds either. Twitter is largely a collection of rich fucks bitching back and forth with each other nonstop as well. Or else we wouldn't have endless Musk, JK Rowling, Steven King, James Woods, etc, Even Trump just shitposts every single day. Billionaires just pick a crusade and then bitch and moan on social media every single day about it.
>>151626645>Gunn would be out, which may please the Snyder bros, but Snyder would not come back to do DCEveryone wins then.
>>151625991>More Ninja Turtles X DC crossoversIf it’s anything like DC’s past publisher mergers and acquisitions, it’s more likely that the Turtles will be permanent residents to main DC continuity.They’re a more perfect fit compared to Millarworld’s arguably convulted narrative. The last time DC tried to do that was worh WildStorm and they gave up and just retconned them into being a seperate universe existing within their multiverse anyway.
Can someone tell me why/how Paramount would use the IPs from WB to make Zionist propaganda? I feel like I’m missing something.What precedent have they set so far that would suggest such a thing with the IPs they already have? Only thing I’m aware they did was send money to Israel.
>>151626645>Gunn would be out, which may please the Snyder bros, but Snyder would not come back to do DCThat sounds like a win-win to me.Go back to fucking Nolan, he was way better at that shit than either of those cunts.
>>151625991Yeah, except it will be with the shitty live-action reboot they're working on at the moment that is more "Sonic-like". So, unless you're into the turtles meeting Batman and saying "Ehm-what the SIGMA?" it's not a good thing either.
>>151626685They fired the heroine of the Scream movies because she spoke out for Palestine
>>151626685it's just /pol/ and /co/mblr being retarded and throwing hissy fits again
>>151626534>I'm gonna add onto your point- this feels like billionaires trying to buy legitimacy, because they sure as hell can't MAKE itThat is all it is about, for different reasonsFor Netflix it is to get universally known IP they cannot make out of thin air. They have Stranger Things and that is about it, and most of Kpop. They never really could make up as iconic of content to own themselves For Saudis, Oracle billionaires, etc it is simply about power and control over something they cannot build up on their own, especially media
>>151626690>Trump supporter by the wayI can tell
>>151626690>posted from South Asia
>>151626707>Thank you, come again!"
>>151626613One of the owners of Netflix is Jewish, but Paramount will be fully owned by Jews you idiot. You're a fag willing to suck Jewish cock & shove Jewish propaganda in our faced. That's typical "Own the Libs" mentality when no one here is a lib. You're a sellout whose not even American anyway
>>151626389Yes, it's the reason Disney has not recovered from the Fox Buyout 6 years ago. A very well amazing performing movie returns about $1billion. And a company that spends $50-70 billion in a year is not going to see a return on that investment for a long time. Discovery did not understand that fact at all and panicked by cutting everything and having yard sales after grabbing WB.
>>151626685The people in charge at Paramount have admitted in public they want to produce MAGA content for the center areas of America. They're literally trying to make WB more political, but fuckheads in this thread defend it because it's only political when it's the politics they dislike, not the ones they support.
>>151626534>What happens if they pump out propaganda, but no one actually buys it?Uhh...nothing changes?What the fuck do you think has been happening for the last decade? Why do you think all these American corporations are getting gutted and sold because they have no money to pay their debts to begin with?Do you cunts live in some kind of alternate reality where these companies haven't been pumping out the same dogshit propaganda bullshit for the last decade?
>>151626534>What happens if they pump out propaganda, but no one actually buys it?Impossible, you kept telling me Kindman was a success and you went to see it 10 times.
Based, fuck wokeflix.
>>151626770>posted from South Asia
>>151626389>>151626534I feel it’s less that Ellison is a die-hard MAGA nutjob, and more like he’s exploiting the current political climate and his close ties to the president of the United States to buy a hugely significant company that under normal circumstances, would absolutely never fly.After his term is over, everyone is going to try and unwind as much of his policies and executive orders as they can before too much of the damage takes root. There’s a reason why Ellison has been touting the speediness of the deal lasting only 12 months; the shareholders get their $100+ billion immediatly and Ellison would have enough ample time to completely merge all the assets of Warner Bros. with Paramount and make it much more difficult for future administrations to unwind the deal in the future.
>>151626805So, does Netflix have any hope at all?
>>151626554How so would Netflix have done more damage fag? The only issues it would’ve caused was doing a number on physical media, which is basically already obsolete in the era of streaming (the streaming environment would only be better if they didn’t kick shit off their services and had everything available somewhere), the only people who care about DVDs and shit these days are geeks and nerds.
>>151626534This is something a lot of them refused to really grasp. Audiences don't care for any type of propaganda filled content. They don't give a fuck what side that propaganda is rooting for, they don't like all of it. Brainwashed TRUE BELIEVERS have this idea that the general public will fully get on board as long as the entertainment is the "Right" kind of propaganda. And they are consistently proven wrong.
>>151626838Because most of those TRUE BELIEVERS online are bots & crypto scammers from India.
I think if it was about the money they would have gone with Paramount first. Clearly it's an issue of WB not liking Paramount's attitude, and I think both Zaslav and Serandos will fight firmly to keep this deal. And they're rich as fuck too so they'll have the money to back themselves up.
>>151626908Not even that, Netflix’s offer is betterEven this threatening hostile takeover shit has a worse offer then Netflix’s
>>151626908What about Trump?
I don't like Netflix but I fucking despise the Middle East with a passion. Paramount being there bitches is disgusting. Their "hostile bid" should have already failed with all the political influence around it.
>>151626883I'm thinking more like Mike Liddel and Kevin Sorbo types who fail over and over again because they cannot grasp that the general public is actually not made entirely of terminally Fox News addicted conspiracy nutjobs. Just like Kathleen Kennedy and Paul Feige cannot seem to grasp that 90% of the viewing audience somehow isn't the tumblr obsessed pronouns cult. None of these guys understand they are an extreme fringe minority and people just sort of put up with what they can stomach and ignore what they can't.
>>151626702Netflix needs some of that century+ old major film studio legitimacy with all their decades old properties. Netflix as a brand is too cold sterile corporate and they could really use a traditional film studio to solidify them as one of the big major Hollywood Studios. Netflix as a name would fall into the parent company background like Viacom or Comcast.
>>151626818Honestly? Nope. Not a fat chance in hell.Paramount took their offer directly to their shareholders and those impatient leeches want their payouts at this very moment. Netflix’s only chance is to either convince the shareholders how this is a bad deal or pray that the FTC tells Ellison to fuck off.It’s not really looking good for Netflix here.
>>151626993>or pray that the FTC tells Ellison to fuck off.AHHAHAHAIf the FTC didn't stop him when he got together with his Saudi friends to buy out EA for $50 billion, they sure as shit won't step in here.Personally, I don't care, since I doubt anything will change. The content they make will still be shitty and boring, it'll just piss off a different type of annoying terminally-online autist.
>>151626645So, basically ruling over an empire of dirt?
>complain that Netflix buying WB would be a monopoly>while also trying to buy WB themselvesAre they stupid or just hypocrites?
>>151627014>No one liked this deal aside from Netflix shills and leftists engaged with the culture war. Even Netflix stockholders didn't like this deal because their stock plummeted when the deal was announced. Almost no one wants this acquisition to happenI don’t care for the /pol/ shitflinging but I’m surpised people that hold shares in Netflix don’t want this deal with Warner to happen.
Would WB's stuff like Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera, and Cartoon Network be haphazardly put under the Nick brand like with Ninja Turtles and Garfield?
>>151627027>just hypocritesThat one.
>>151627046All the cartoons are put in Cartoon Network while the kidcoms and live-action kiddie shit goes to NickelodeonNinja Turtles and Garfield get folded into DC’s continuity like they did with Fawcett’s Capt. Marvel and Charlton’s Peacemaker
>>151627073>Garfield get folded into DC’s continuityThat would be kino actually.
>>151626424i assume he went thru some kinda decay during the name shift: https://youtu.be/KgCZUAkoDoI?
>>151627046Depends if they can get Cartoon Network or not. Discovery does not want to lose that while they are fine with WB and DC going.
>>151627073Would the turtles still live in New York or some made-up city from then on?
Oh boy here comes trump with the redtape you are fucked Netflix.
>>151627150What value does CN have for WB?
>>151627040They know WB's curse would kill Netflix too.
Maybe WBD doesn’t financially need to sell? And that this might all just be an effort to secure the most golden of parachutes for the few people currently in power, at the cost of erasing a totally viable corporation that has been around for a literal century? A film studio makes 5 billion dollars at the box office in a year that isn’t even finished yet, and has a decent streamer that needs help with what it programs, but isn’t fully dead or without its merits. Not sure that is a company that can’t survive on its own
>>151625627even better, we're gonna get MTV/Comedy Central x Adult Swim crossovers. So in other words, the likes of Beavis & Butthead, South Park, Daria, and Jackass are officially Adult Swim properties
>Paramount buys WB>We FINALLY get a older audience-aimed TMNT cartoon for Adult SwimThough it would suck that guys like LT, HB, and CN would get shoved aside for more Spongebob shit with only some merchandise and appearing in Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 4.
>>151626645Small critique but Illumination is owned by Universal. If anything, Paramount does not have them as a back up if their projects fail.
>>151627333Skydance already killed the rated R Last Ronin movie
>>151626685Netflix is spamming Saudi shills to try and turn public opinion against them
>Nooo I NEED the Zionist fag to own Paramount, CBS, TikTok, and Warner BrosKek speaking of a true monopoly
>>151627287Not much, they do not care for broadcast channels these days. Discovery still wants all Warner owned broadcast channels.
>>151627354At least this means we could get an animated version, which would've made better sense than a live action one.
>>151627539No? They would kill that too.
>>151625527>>151625422You morons forgot the big picture, every single shareholder warner and DC had, mainly Tom King's mother and family will be kicked out of the company

>>151627345This, and even if they did, I'm pretty sure Nintendo would want to avoid them as well, as they don't play when it comes to politics, they wanna stay far away from that mire. Which means, no more Mario movies with Illumination (again, if Universal went this route as well).
>>151625697>SeetheThat's a hillbilly word
Was WB always so far behind these other media companies or did they just fall off in the 20th century?
>>151626438Kushner and Ivanka miss their libtard high society friends in Jew York
>>151627856People will blame Zaslov but they have honestly been fucked for a very long time. The DCU failed to take off, Game of Thrones flopped, all their cartoony stuff was becoming direct to home video in an era of streaming. There were alot of other setbacks that led to this. Zaslov was just the nail in coffin, doing what anyone does when the know company's time is up: liquidating assets and burning bridges.
>>151626551>implying he didn’t benefit from using illegals at his businesses
>>151627402>man why aren’t people excited about their new Saudi overlord who bonesaws his criticsGee anon the faggot/jesusfreak culture war was bad enough before the violent goatfuckers wanted a say too.
>>151625353Why does Israel want control of WB so bad?
>>151627875>trying to destroy western societyAnon, you know the Jews pushing pro-Israel shit are also the ones pushing for that, right?
>>151626805>Implying his term will endLolLmao Trump 2028 btw
>>151625527>>151625627>CARTOON NETWORK X NICKELODEON CROSSOVERS.As if that's going to happen. Most Cartoon Network shows were deleted and removed. It not like these shows are coming back just because the hillbillies submits a hostile takeover on WB. Just like Paramount+, the hillbillies wants to control WB's news networks, nothing more and nothing less.
>>151627875Anon, Israel is the gayest country in the world. They're just evil right wing gays who unironically get blood transfusions from teenagers because they think it makes them more youthful. That's who you're simping for.
>>151628088It makes the libs seethe so it's good
>>151628070Proof?
>>151625353I don't give a shit about political stuff one way or the other but would Netflix or Paramount be better for DC Comics the publisher and putting out stuff like classic Looney Tunes etc on blu-ray?
>>151628076>implying drowsy Donny will live that long>especially when it was already confirmed he's an STD riddled fag who blew someone nicknamed BubbaIt's Joever for him, bro.

>>151628120Donald Trump is the healthiest president we have ever had
>>151628137Cope trump is healthier than ever and will get at least 2 more terms until he gives the reigns to don jr.
>>151628138Well he was the healthiest...UNTIL YOU JINXED HIM, YOU RETARDED FUCKER!
>>151628113You can't be serious
>>151627014>Bold take considering the majority of people agree with themThen what's with his approval rating?
>>151628185No I just made him healthier
>>151627910Basically this, Zaslav deserves blame for certain things but morons overlook how badly WB was doing before he even came on board. Like did they memory hole how fucked things were getting during the 2010s or the AT&T buyout?
>>15162818997%
>>151628161Why is this country stuck on electing ancient cunts?
>>151628161Jrs been brow beaten by his father his entire life. Does he actually have it in him to take over the cult? At least Trumps father was grooming him to run the company after military school.
>>151627082I'm actually not quite sure how that would work considering that Garfeld is technically a comic strip-based IP rather than a purely comic book IP like the Turtles are.
>>151627027>>while also trying to buy WB themselvesthat would mean they and netflix would compete so there is no monopoly, retard
>discord found the threadoy...
>>151628138>>151628161>>151628190That evil animal is in its 80s. Hillbillies don't live forever. Sooner or later, that fucker will die.
>>151628290if netflix bought wb they would still compete with paramount so its not a monopoly
>>151628161Thats funny. You're funny.
>>151628310isn't netflix like 50% of the non-youtube streaming traffic? disney, paramount and wb made up the other half
I wish I could kill myself.
>>151628363What's stopping you
>>151628378No effective way to do it.
>>151628247corruption
>>151628350No, Netflix is like 8%. Youtube is 13%, Disney is 5%, and everyone else fills out the remaining at various levels below 5%.
>>151625697
>>151626641>Made it so h1b1 immigrants need to be paid the same salary as americansI don't think that's helping immigration son
>>151627856It was a fall off. WB was doing much better than Disney in the 2000s, with several of the top grossing movies of all time (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, etc). What killed them was bad leadership and even worse movies.
>>151625422Nothing really, the cartoon properties aren't whats valuable to WB. This is all about getting ahold of CNN and capeslop.
>>151628629People care about CNN?
>>151627046They used to air Looney Tunes stuff on Nick back in the 80s so its not that far-fetched of an association.
>>151628654>IncorrectWhy would a paid service have more views than a free one?
>>151628290Paramount buying WB would be the monopoly.They're just fighting over who gets to have it.
>>151628675Larry Ellison does, and Trump is fine with one of his biggest enemies being owned by someone on his side. Old crusty billionaires are the only ones that give a shit about legacy media like this.The capeslop, Harry Potter and the other blockbuster film franchises WB owns are also valuable here.
>>151628741Show me a source from this year that has Netflix above Youtube (not Youtube TV/Red) then
>Jewish Propaganda Company #6 is trying to buy Jewish Propaganda Company #3 to force them to make Jewish propaganda, but hopefully Jewish Propaganda Company #5 can prevent that and have Jewish Propaganda Company #3 make Jewish propaganda for them instead

>>151628924>nonono you don't get it THOSE Jews are on MY sidejej
>>151626641God, I hate that asshole.
>>151626621Like it's going to matter. It doesn't matter who owns HBO/WB now, it's going to suck.
>>151629700Probably. Just doesn't seem like Netflix has a chance. Paramount will probably pull some unfair shit.
>>151625689They bought LIV golf as well and reportedly have had huge losses on that.>>151626099Zaslav before 2020 was looking to do a merger to help discovery survive. WB wasn't for sale for a while, but AT&T got sick of them, tied all their debt to the company, and then they merged.>>151626534Part of it might be for survival. A lot of people don't seem to know that skydance merged with paramount like last summer. Skydance was doing okay financially before the merger, but Paramount wasn't in the best shape.However, I don't see how overpaying for Warner Bros and being subject the demands of a lot of independent private parties will be financially good for anyone.
>>151625353>take a miniscule bump in the upfront sale to shackle yourself to a dying company with no modern brand recognition that has been downtrending for years instead of the front and center media company of the modern era whose value is already leagues beyond and has been increasing sharply since its inceptionWhat fucking moronic shareholder would vote for this?
>>151630188That's the other thing, we still don't know what Skydance-era Paramount is really going to be like movie/tv quality-wise. It's why I don't get why they're so desperate to get WB right now
>>151625639The "leftists are the real corporate pawns" is one of the greatest cons pulled by reactionaries this century, along with "fiscal responsibility"
No one mentioned that the shareholders now have to decide via vote. Right now, it's up to zaslav and ellison to convince them what will be better for their dollar.
I'd trust Netflix as an owner of DC Comics over Paramount.I'd trust Paramount as an owner of Warner's massive TV and movie catalog over Netflix.
>>151630212>shackle yourselfsee they don't have to, that's the thing. They can take the biggest possible payout and jump ship to another company to bleed dry and jump to the next company, etc etc (which is how WB is in this situation to begin with). Shackle implies some kind of long-term loyalty that doesn't exist in the corporate sphere anymore.
>>151630313Whoever wins, we lose
>>151628924
>>151626832Physical media is a niche product now, but so are the vast majority of old movies, TV shows and cartoons.The reason Netflix would be the worst of all possible options is that they don't just de-emphasize physical media, they avoid releasing anything they own in physical format (with a few exceptions, probably where the filmmaker demanded it as part of the contract). They don't want to make extra money from physical media, they want to make sure that viewers don't have another legal way to see their stuff except by subscribing to Netflix and keeping their subscription.Now who knows, Netflix might allow Warner Archive to survive because they almost certainly don't care about most of the old Academy Ratio content WA puts out. But another buyer would definitely allow them to survive, and Netflix is the only buyer that actively hates the idea of people owning a copy of their favorite films and shows.
>>151626690He's intent on terrorizing legal immigrants and natural born citizens all the same.
>>151630227probably not that great. So far David Ellison's ideas right now are cutting jobs and bringing Call of Duty to the big screen
>>151625353What a sad, bitter end.
>>151630241Well just Ellison since he went over Zaslav to talk directly to the board
>>151630355>legal immigrantsYou mean the fraudulent ones who got a pass with botched processing.>natural born citizensYou mean the anchor babies by the illegals.
I never really knew what "Reddit" meant as a political insult until I was in a Reddit thread where everyone was rooting for Netflix to beat out Paramount. Hating both, I can understand. Thinking Netflix is less evil than Paramount, I don't.It's sort of like how the crazy thing about late-night TV hosts is not that they hate Trump but that they thought Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were good.In conclusion, the Communists are right, they all suck and only China can save us now.
>>151630313Netflix doesn't have experience with publishing so I don't know why you trust them more with DC Comics.
>>151630414>talk directly to the boardnot the just board, the shareholders, whoever owns WBD stock will get a say on what they want to happen.
>tencent has a one billion dollar stake in the paramount dealthe chinese are involved now what the fuck are they doing
>>151630428I mean anyone standing near ICE when they have a quota to fulfill by any means necessary.
>>151630484>>Netflix doesn’t have experience publishing.Exactly. They would leave DC Comics alone and let them self regulate as long as they provided them with ip to adapt.
>>151630327They do though, because Paramount won't want to sell the thing they desperately think will save them and future purchases will thus require buying the whole thing (i.e. Paramount) which is a completely different factor of acquisition.It's idiotic. No one with even vague business sense would fall for this bluff. Taking a single look at Skydance and Netflix stocks makes it obvious which one will print you money and which one is a good way to tank your investment.
>>151630707That's never how these mergers work. Remember Rooster Teeth? It was a small division with a popular IP that WB left alone until Zaslav came in and cut it anyway just to buy himself another yacht Not to say that Ted would just cut DC entirely but anywhere he could save a penny, like the licensing to have DC be apart of Comixology (Amazon), he'll screw with it.
>>151630732The non woke paramount obviously. Go woke get broke
>>151625353>comedy central now gets access to Adult Swim's library>Venture Bros gets an awful reboot
>>151630948Atleast beavis and butthead and daria reruns can be aired on adult swim
>>151625424I mean fuck Paramount they literally just did a really fucked up merger that should not have been allowed and are attempting to do another one while also bitching about how mergers are bad.
>Stephen Miller has improved my opinion on them, he's getting rid of faggots like you.
This thread is ultimate proof 4cuck is still full of millennial basedboys who are corporate war brained DC vs Marvel Ps vs Xbox Pepsi vs Coke brained coonsoomer niggers that are bald with beards over 30 who are overweight.That or everyone here is an Indian shill.I denounce the Talmud and Vishnu and hope Israel, Netflix, Saudi Arabia, Paramount, and Warner Bros plus Disney all die.
>>151631261He ran right into the filter
>>151631279I don't give enough of a shit to bypass the filter desu senpai. You didn't even notice I bypassed the other one.
>>151630370Ellison doesn't seem to work well with auteurs, he's already alienated Tom Cruise and Taylor Sheridan despite supposedly getting along with them at the start. Now Cruise is one thing but Sheridan literally built Paramount+ and mass produces the kind of boomer wank content that the Ellison regime wants to get into, so the fact that he lost him to Universal (despite getting together for a barbecue just a week prior) doesn't bode well for any longterm creative development deals.
>>151631406>CreativeWho needs that
>>151629077>Stephen Miller.He's an asshole like Trump and the other hillbilly freaks.
>>151625525No, MORE females showing skin. Wokes hate anything sexy.
>>151631612But the saudis and Jews hate that too
>>151627685You're assuming the Ellisons give enough of a shit to mess with the management structure of DC. Ike Purlmutter was MAGA and he didn't protect anyone at Marvel.
>>151627685Was johns blacklisted? He left on his own to make his own shitty z list not!dc characters comics with blackjack and hookers
>>151630633Tencent has so little tentacles sprouting everywhere, they've probably got a thousand deals even they forgot they made.

Oh no, two of these charts will get amalgamated into one. This is the end of Hollywood.

I just want Netflix to lose
>>151626934Im the oppositeWhat have the Saudis done to me? (Osama bin Laden literally denounced his family and plotted terrorist attempts on them)They are a bunch of disgusting slave owning hedonists but that's not my problemMeanwhile Netflix has actually hurt my daily enjoyment
So who owns Avatar last airbender and Harry Potter?Man I do not know all this corpo ownership shit

Netflix and Paramount both suck shit through a straw but at least Paramount *might* keep the Warner Archive department going... either way, what a rotten goddamn outcome.

>Paramount>Comedy Central>CBS>BET>MTVSo why are people trying to play sides in this thing? This is just a corporate thing who the fuck cares. Nothing creative is going to change. I doubt it will with Netflix either. They'll both just pick what they think will be most profitable to work on for a while.
>>151633389>This is just corporate No it isn't Larry Ellison bought ParamountHe is an insurrectionist and trump loyalist looking to consolidate a propaganda network Trump literally just said he'd block the Netflix deal and work directly to make this go
It's not really very related to this specifically, but has 4Chan changed things so you have to be more established in order to be able to make a new thread? I haven't been on here for a while and maybe I'm missing something obvious, but the option to make one doesn't seem to even exist. I was going to make a post about Netflix's Steps movie since I was surprised that no there didn't seem to be any discussion about it yet.
>>151633413>>151633389>Kushner is directly involved in Paramount's offerI would bet my mother's soul this fuckface is funneling saudi money through paramount
>>151633413Doesn't that give Netflix the right to sue them for massive fucking corruption?

>>151633355They didn't/don't care about Rocko (or any pre-SpongeBob Nicktoon)
>>151633461Weird. Now it is obvious, but I could swear it wasn't there before. Maybe posting even one comma made it appear? Or maybe I was really just that oblivious somehow. In any case, thanks.
>>151633473>>151633373All they cared about was taking over the new networks of Paramount. They don't give a fuck about the other shows.
>>151633447No because Trump would fuck their shit up in retaliation.
>>151633466so fukcning baseed
>>151633284Just you fucking wait until CN is pumping out AI-made shorts of Superman marvelling at how big Trump's dick isThat sounds based
Do you think the quality of anything will go up if it's suddenly forced to be right wing?Ignoring that all the creatives working on the projects won't just fuck with it.
>>151633611The left can't do quality. Meanwhile the right only has the finest quality shows
>>151633603I understand. We can agree one way or another, things are going to get worse for WB and all their stuff.
>>151625792>not understanding that having your followers proclaim you as the king of a people who aren't interested in your message appears treasonous to the local governor since the only guy who could appoint client-kings was the Emperor
>take media with established audience>force it to cater to a different demographic that is not interested in it
>>151633760Is there evidence directly that Disney wanted Marvel and Star Wars to be specifically for people who are not into Star Wars and Marvel? Is there an interview with an exec who straight up said they wanna make shit for people who don't care about them? I can't bring myself to agree that the new movies do just that because they seem to be moreso for the general public than the hardcore nerd because of how popular these IPs are and how they're scared of taking risks out of fear of pissing off fans and generally getting new audiences to be fans of IPs is good businessThis whole they're taking away our boy toys and make them for girls and girls are kicking us out of the boys only club narrative is hard to follow when I consider the bigger picture
>>151627789Better than the fags doing it.
>>151625525How can it be less than 0?
>>151633826Don't know that there are any receipts, and it seems to have shifted sometime after the MCU became popular since the early stuff was clearly for the right audience. No clue about Star Wars, not invested in that myself, but isn't the person in charge of that some dumb bitch that actually is obsessed with making everything for other dumb bitches?
>>151633826Star Wars Land was an Original Planet Do Not Steal in the Sequel time period because Kennedy convinced Bob Iger and the design team that building Tatooine would only appeal to fifty-something white dudes.
>>151633869I think Kathleen Kennedy, the bitch you're thinking of, is just following the money. The force is female thing was a clothing line unrelated to star wars that she wore cause she thought it was funny.I don't know much about Kathleen other than she was with George Lucas since the beginning: https://youtu.be/Gyqq_BUDMo4?si=LPvVx1mkNwd7P01P
>>151633885Star wars land?Are you talking about the theme park? Galaxy's edge?What do you mean they didn't make it Tatooine because 50 white dudes only like Tatooine? Can you show me evidence of this shit? I am confused
>>151633890Her history before Star Wars was pretty big. She was a producer on Spielberg's bigger movies of the 90s like Jurassic Park and Hook. She just lost her shit by the 2010s and decided to also try to trigger fans for Twitter points.
>>151633898Imagineer interviewshttps://comicbook.com/starwars/news/star-wars-galaxys-edge-batuu-tatooine-endor-plans/>“The Indiana Jones theater, that was going to be the heart of the Star Wars land … the Mos Eisley Cantina, that was going to be right across from Star Tours, and we had all kinds of great concepts with that. We’d gotten way down the path on art drawings, we hadn’t gone into architectural drawings or anything,” Cockerell confirmed. “Kathleen Kennedy, her point of view was, there are way more Disney Star Wars stories ahead of us than behind us. So we really should think about, do we want to build a Tatooine and build what all the 50-somethings remember Star Wars is? Or do we want to build something else which is going to appeal to all the upcoming generations who are going to know the new stories?”
>>151633910She never had any creative input in those though. The one time she made a story suggestion was "What if instead of getting the girl, Indiana Jones got a dog?" and that was laughed out of the room.
>>151633885It was decided that Galaxy's Edge would be sequel themed since Disney was producing the sequels at that time and assumed they would be the biggest hits ever. So the theme park section should be a cross promotion of the current movies coming out. Where they listened to fan response was when they decided to totally ignore every single aspect of the prequels in every way. Since they took fan backlash online to be irrefutable proof that the prequels were purely hated.
>>151633915You know, I don't know if I have ever seen anyone ever bother to sit and hang out in that weird space kebab restaurant they made in Galaxy's Edge. It's just a weird empty place.
>>151633926Does that really matter in Hollywood circles? Executives see big huge popular titles on a resume and assume this person shits gold. That's how it works.
>>151633915To be fair broadly, Tatooine is just a desert. As far as theme parks go, that's kind of... you can just visit the desert if you want to see that. Can style the inside of some attractions like the cantina or whatever I suppose.
>>151633826Disney executives at the top? Not at all. They simply wanted to expand their reach and have franchises for boys since by 2010 they were known as the company that makes princess movies and content for girls. The problem is that all of their creative department employees were long hired, and promoted for making content for girls. So then the executives dropped Star Wars on their lap, the people in charge who directed, wrote, produced, and hired more of the same were all the people who made princess movies, Freeform single 20 something tv series, and adult wine aunt tv series. They just did what they know and made YA novel style content with an angry boss bitch as the lead. It's what they always did. That was every show and movie Disney producers made or knew how to make at the time they got Star Wars. And they were not about to hire a bunch of Scifi writers to replace them and take their place in the studio hierarchy either.It was all a give a monkey a gun kind of situation. You don't blame the monkey. In this case you blame the Disney executives who handed Star Wars over to Kennedy and her Freeform crew to make something 100% out of their scope to make.
>>151633956The problem is that 90% of the time in Star Wars the heroes only ever go to some primitive backwater shithole that looks like a 3rd world African bronze age marketplace but with some droids walking around. There are very few choices for a contemporary Star Wars location to make into a theme park section. And they are pretty dedicated to pretending every single last aspect of the prequels do not exist. So places like Coruscant and Naboo are out. That kind of leaves Tatooine, Bespin, that's about it.
How it all began:>Paramount bought Skydance, David Ellison became CEO>CBS had settled a $16 million lawsuit with trump, Stephen Colbert the late night host cried foul, they sold him out and canned his show, possible to finish the merger.>the Ellisons became best friend with the Don, then turned their eye of Sauron toward WB, offering to buy the entire thing when no one was looking>WB said no multiple times, likely thinking that they could get a better deal with an actual bidding war, immediately opened themselves up for sale>Netflix wanted to sit it out cause they hated cable and wanted nothing to do with traditional media, seeing a giant "for sale" sign on all of Warner legacy IP, getting slowly interested in buying so that someone else would NOT have the library but themHow it is now:>Paramount was still top bidder, both Netflix and Comcast was losing out. The difference was Paramount wanted the entire WB, Net and Com just wanted the IP shit and skip the >Netflix get serious, dropped even more money for half the property, Paramount started losing out cause they were demanding more with likely the same price, while still under debt from the skydance merger.>Ellison threw a tantrum and wrote a letter directly to Sazlav, whining about favoritism (in a fucking bidding war where the person demanding the highest bid, wants the highest bid), let slip that he had insider connection with the president and would do exactly what he is doing now>in the span of 3 days, WB jumped ship onto NetflixThe same fucking company that drawn the biggest streamer in the world into this bidding war to begin with, fumbled the fucking bag and now everyone blaming netflix for winning? Now the same loser is crawling back to reclaim the mess THEY caused?Unironically someone should make a movie about this, cause real life cannot be this fucking funny.

>>151634044Star Wars only ever features like 3 locations ever>Mud hut primitive hellhole with technology wires and droids around>Mafia run, crime-filled, trashy inner city ghetto>Actual primitive jungle/forest with giant monsters and tree fortsSometimes they go to a modern looking city but it's incredibly rare.
>>151634044>>151634128Yeah. I complained somewhere else that 40k was uncreative with it's sci-fi space setting and then somebody pointed out that starwars was even worse at it
>The only way for the Trump admin to stop this merger from the woke lefty Netflix, is to sue in front of a woke lefty court with Dem judges that still actually gave a shit about antitrust, and understand modern media monopoly. Because every republican appointed judges are either from Reagan, 2 Bushes, and himself, all of which belies in Free Market and pro-capitalism, which is why he is currently losing his tariff power in court, against his own judges. >The FTC itself got rid of all the antitrust members from the Biden admin, especially Lina Khan that was willing to sue google and facebook, yet also famously lost the Microsoft merger with Activision, rendering the current FTC even more toothless than it is now.>And the only way for the lawsuit to stick is to write actual new antitrust laws to modernize antitrust enforcement for the current media landscape, yet passing it through the free market republican congress.All of this will come from the same FTC that is still willing to instantly roll out the red carpet for Paramount had they won WB, they will sue Netflix for doing the exact same thing.Trust. The. Plan

>>151625470The new king of Saudi Arabia is pro-Israel (and is blackmailed by Mossad rape island too)
>>151626908>I think if it was about the money they would have gone with Paramount first.Yeah but that would required them to sell the entire thing, both cable (CNN and sport channels) and streaming (HBOMax) and all its IP. An entire 2 for 1 deal. Netflix was already outdoing Disney $73 Bil merger with Fox, but with half the content (streaming and IP only, no cable), and this current $100 bil offer will likely still having the same demands as last time.>Clearly it's an issue of WB not liking Paramount's attitudeYes, cause they should still remain positive with Paramount after they sent a whining letter making them look back, while possibly letting trump off the leash on them if they made the wrong choice. Surely it has to be favoritism.
>>151633826Why do you think it's the reason the MCU since it's first movies were always shitty in humor with Weadon and Gunn's style of cynical sarcastic characteristizations, along with fucking male gaze killing, girlbosses and Tactikewl? They NEVER gave a fuck about the lore and rich history of the Marvel characters and the comics, they just wanted to replicate their skins and use it to market to normies and hipsters, actual comic book fans be damned, every MCU humor looks like a shitty sitcom and plays like one, it's like Disney NEVER cared outside of throwing rapid fire stupidity that only works because you WOW'd at the visuals and action and don't think.And then look at what they did to Star Wars, remember when EVERYONE tried WAY too hard to convince themselves that Force Awakens was genuinely good instead of a farce? It took Last Jedi being so damn bad to people to be freed from the lovespell, that and GhostBusters2016.Even old capeshit cared but only for a short period, the 70s with Superman, 89 with Batman, and 1990 with TMNT.The Raimi spiderman films TRIED and we're well meaning, but they still really stupid awkwardness there (the Wheadon moment at Normans Osbourne death anyone?)
is there any reassurance that paramount is just throwing a really loud temper tantrum and that netflix is still the cemented bidder for wb?all of this sucks and its so draining that its happening in the first place but itd atleast be a bit relieving to know its going in the way of the lesser of 2 evils
Why doesn't Ellison just shoot Ted Sarandos and steal WB from him? That always works in the movies.
>>151634421>but itd atleast be a bit relieving to know its going in the way of the lesser of 2 evilsin what universe is netflix the lesser of 2 evils
>>151626534>the same people preaching, rightfully, for over a decade about propaganda ruining media, now wants Their propaganda in the same media, then cry like a bitch if no one beyond lefty comes out to see it.Every fucking time. Not a single consistent belief from any sides. Teamsport all the way down.>>151626805>more like he’s exploiting the current political climate and his close ties to the president of the United States to buy a hugely significant company that under normal circumstances, would absolutely never fly.That and him, like most studios right now, is seeing the writing on the wall that a new president will start demanding congress to write stronger antitrust laws. So for everybody, not just the disney and neflix of today, it's basically now or never, buy everything now from the media IP supermarket before new laws close it down and break everyone up.The fact that any character at all left the Disney copyright vault, Steamboat Willy, means that the media gods are no longer untouchable.a0wk2
>>151626534Objectively speaking, ever since Harvey Weinstein went down, movies have gotten incredibly worse.
>>151634461>in what universe is netflix the lesser of 2 evilsthe same universe where the supposed good and based megacorpo Paramount allowed all of this to happen by being too greedy after buying skydance, gunning for WB while being rejected 5 times already, dragging in the attention of Netflix to begin with then got too high of their own supply and botched the bidding process by sending a letter to WB for being unfair and threatening to release the president on them. And now they're doing just that, with the president's son and saudi's cash.I'm sorry, no matter how many skeletons Netflix has in their closet, to anyone that pays any attention at all, there is simply less blood on their hand than Paramount. It's still 2 garbage choices no matter what, 1 of them just happen to smell slightly better than the other
Is Paramount trying to buy it to actually make good media, or do they simply want to monopolize the legacy products?Same question for Netflix, I recall they've made some fairly well received films and shows.
>>151627323>So in other words, the likes of Beavis & Butthead, South Park, Daria, and Jackass are officially Adult Swim propertiesoh man.... you really think thats how Paramounts going to look at this?Anon, this is the fucking end for Adult SwimParamount is going to merge it with Comedy Central and the only shows that'll survive the merge will be Rick & Morty and Smiling Friends if were lucky
>>151634045I think a lot of the people online shitting on Netflix are being paid by Paramount, considering they never once brought up Paramount's hostile bid
Does Paramount have series with sex appeal and fanservice in their platform?
>>151634421I know how you feel. Haven't heard anything about them pushing through the sale.
>>151634518Paramount is buying it to make theme parks in the middle east. They have no intention on making good shows.
>>151625422DC comics will probably die either way. Its a lose-lose situation
>>151626641>abc>cnnLmao
So many Saudi shills.
>>151625422Cartoon Network is dead either wayIf Paramount buys it they prefer Nick and have no use for itIf Netflix buys it they are not buying the channel itself but the shows/IP, and will not license it down to DiscoveryIn the very rare case the FCC blocks any buyout of WB, the channels still split and has to pay the new WB for its content still, which it likely will do but it will have no original making capabilities and be reruns foreverIn short there is no future for CN and it is show down or replaced in any case
>>151634825Don't they just pay poobots to spam for them?
>>151634547Paramount seems worse for Warner than Netflix and that's impressive
>>151626534Well people loved Obama as Spider-Man so I'm sure there will be an audience for Sonic x ICE
>>151634882Almost scary how bad things can get.
I legitimately don't care as long as David Zaslav is never hired by any company ever again.I am not exaggerating when I say he should get hit with a fucking brick.
>>151634930And there's people that support this. I wonder what's gonna happen to Mortal Kombat?
>>151632157Obviously the illegals and the ethnics control everything so it's their fault right?>the rich don't control anything, right? they're busy earning all those hard-earned dollars
>>151634805Oh and Smiling Friends is definitely going to get canned
>>151634941This.
>>151634882It really doesn't, the most likely option for Paramount-WB is that things will largely stay the same, on the other hand Netflix plans to permanently gut the properties in a way that will make black Snape feel anti-woke
>>151635082No paramount is worse. Netflix is bad paramount is worse
>>151635082>make black SnapeIs this some sort of indian talking point? Seems to keep getting brought up when no one asks.
>>151635109It genuinely isn't >Paramount>keeps theaters going>keeps networks going>might even fix some things>Netflix>plans to ruin everything for the next 100 years>>151635117No it's an anti-indian talking point, it only irritates the indians Netflix paid to shill for it
>>151635124>>151635117Paramount wont fix things in fact they'll probably make things worse knowing them. All in all this all David Zaslav's fault
>>151635130And Netflix would make them far worse, on top of crashing theaters
>>151635132And Paramount won't make things better eother. Like I said David Zaslav is an incompetent prick
>>151635130We literally don’t know anything about what Paramount would do, but we do know twhat would happen if Netflix got their hands on WB.It’s in Netflix’s best interests to kill movie theaters worldwide. This would cause innumerable layoffs not from WB, but from most cinemas all over the globe.
>>151635192Blame David Zaslav, we're in this mess because of him. Seriously that man is fucking idiot. Like he managed to kill Warner within a few years
>>151635192Streaming and theaters aren't exactly direct competitors. The theater is an experience, streaming is just... television on demand.And not everyone has a home theater.Did VHS stop people going to movies? DVD's? Blu-Rays? Streaming is just another option. If anything it sounds like it'd be Netflix diversifying their business.
>entertainment industry is gonna end up split three ways between MAGAmount, Jeetflix and DEIsneyHaha this sucks
Has Paramount made any good movies or shows lately?
>>151634086
>>151625353It's a shame they both can't lose. Fuck monopolies, this shit should have stopped when Disney bought Fox.
>>151635466More than Netflix>Top Gun Maverick>MI Dead Reckoning P1>Gladiator 2>Sonic trilogy>D&D>Transformers One>Killers of the Flower Moon>Naked Gun
>>151635400The huge irony of it all is Walt Disney actively fought media monopolies: >In 1941, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin ,Walt Disney, Orson Welles, Samuel Goldwyn, David O. Selznick, Alexander Korda, John Huston and Walter Wanger founded the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers. Later members included James Cagney, Sol Lesser, and Hal Roach. The Society aimed to preserve the rights of independent producers in an industry overwhelmingly controlled by the studio system. It fought to end monopolistic practices by the five major Hollywood studios which controlled the production, distribution, and exhibition of films. In 1942, they filed an antitrust suit against Paramount's United Detroit Theatres. The complaint accused Paramount of conspiracy to control first-run and subsequent-run theaters in Detroit. It was the first antitrust suit brought by producers against exhibitors alleging monopoly and restraint of trade. In 1948, the United States Supreme Court Paramount Decision ordered the Hollywood movie studios to sell their theater chains and to eliminate certain anti-competitive practices.
>>151635562Disney wasn't anti-monopoly, he was anti-"monopolies that aren't mine"-monopoly
>>151635592Disney was practically an indie studio for all of Walt's life; the guy was spending so much money on stuff like EPCOT while his studio was trying to keep the lights on while making movies like The Happiest Millionaire. They only became an all consuming conglomerate around the 90s.
>>151632060Black, asian and arab capitalists too. Didnt include "jewish" because theyre really just white. Theyre in denial of this because it loses them victim points but its true.
>>151625527Paramount is gonna cancel so many shows/comics is they buy warner.
>>151635737nice ESL there
>>151635517>Gladiator 2>goodcomplete bait, just replace that with MI Final Reckoning
>>151634547>Paramount is going to merge it with Comedy Central and the only shows that'll survive the merge will be Rick & Morty and Smiling Friends if were luckyor even Robot Chicken, as they'll make a 30-minute special about it
>>151633473not even Ren & Stimpy, and that one is for a good reason too
>>151634965>I wonder what's gonna happen to Mortal Kombat?Paramount specifically stated that they won't alter Warner's game IPs such as Mortal Kombat nor Hogwarts Legacy
>>151631677Shareholders has powers anon, shitsney is owned by the shareholders, not the CEO, it isnt paramount where after JJ fucked them hard they decided to tell them to fuck off for losing money.>>151634045Netflix is literally hollywood's money laundering scheme by now, losing WB per government interferend will fuck california hard.and the government wants to fuck California into submission after dropping the ball badly and letting that state be dominated by retards in the late 80's
>>151634401>It took Last Jedi being so damn bad to people to be freed from the lovespell, that and GhostBusters2016.Don't forget Tomb Raider 2018, Charlie's Angels 2019, and many live-action Disney remakes, all of which ruined IPs with shitty agenda and complete farce. This is why we should've gone back to three of the best decades, particularly 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, when things were simple, had original ideas, and were made by people who didn't hate the original properties they were adapting
>>151626599And Beavis & Butthead. Don't forget
>>151635517>Gladiator 2>D&D>good movieshow much were you paid to say this?
>>151634738>>>/a/
>>151630891
>>151629674Are you by any chance of that retarded artist Hubi? Because I hope they die in a horrible accident, to be honest.
>>151625527Which is funny, Paramount used to do nothing with Terrytoons until this year when they FINALLY did some things when they aired their stuff on MeTV, so I'm fearing they won't do anything with Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Flintstones, or even vintage HB/CN shows as they'll just continue to tinker with SpongeBob. So no, none of you spergs will ever get an actual CN x Nick crossover. Not even an Adult Swim x CC/MTV crossover. No Beavis & Butthead and South Park meet either Aqua Teen, Robot Chicken, Rick & Morty, or Smiling Friends
>>151630355God I hope so. But it'll never happen since this only exists in the minds of the mentally ill.
>>151626534Projection, the post
>>151625527They literally don't care about Cartoon Network. You'll be lucky they don't pull a Gwimbly and just sit on the IP forever without doing anything with it.
>>151625353This is more for tv,But paramount and wb you would think are a staple hollywood usa, with years of hollywood/usa experience and talent.Then you learn they are funded by Trump family and SAUDI ARABIA (does anyone remember in middle east war years, when these type of people were terrorists?)And somehow netflix, an ONLINE media company, somehow seems like the GOOD option?Now is netflix as good as they seem? Maybe not, but they don't seem bad? Or at least not that bad.>>151625422You can get more of the stuff you got from paramount and wb over past 5 years(not good) Was anything not bad?Or you can get more netflix stuff like kpop d-h, del toro Frankenstein (really good), and stranger things, and more.
>>151625762No
>>151625970>Jesus was this thing that is a modernist conceptMight as well say he was a hippie too
>>151636246>does anyone remember in middle east war years, when these type of people were terrorists?No, Bush was stating that Islam was religion of peace and was the OG in combating islamophobia, despite being called Hitler until Trump
>>151636246I’ll take more K Pop Demon Hunters, Camp Cretaceous, Stranger Things then.
>>151636307>Stranger Thingsno. It stopped being good after season 2

>>151636414>last incident in 2016, 0 deaths and 3 injured Nice self ownAnyway>During the Bush presidencies (both GHW and GW), U.S.-Saudi relations were a complex mix of deep strategic partnership, focused on energy security, counterterrorism, and regional stability, alongside significant post-9/11 scrutiny due to Saudi involvement in the attacks and concerns about Wahhabi extremism. George W. Bush forged close ties with Crown Prince Abdullah, balancing counterterrorism cooperation (intelligence sharing, oil price stabilization) with criticism over Saudi Arabia's human rights, democracy, and links to extremism, all while maintaining pragmatic, realpolitik alliancesSeems I got Bush's stance close. Tell me now if Saudis are particularly bad among Arab nations due to them being at odds with Iran.
I really hate the idea of the saudis owning Superman and the Looney Tunes.
>>151636547>one of the links was 2024, that's last year, RISE in terrorism (that's opposite of drop)I saw some articles that said like 15 of 19 terrorists from 911 were from saudi arabia.Now supposedly, Saudi Arabia is against all the terrorists, and "works" with usa to get rid of them.But Russia also supports trump. So I'm not sure if "working" with usa means you are good.In politics there are games people play. A terrorist pretending to fight terror is possible. (and is USUALLY what happens in world) And this is not the board to discuss this.Your next post better be in pol.
>>151636307The only thing I hate more than streaming platforms are braindead retards that attribute the success of licensed properties to the quality of the in house production company. If Netflix didn't exist all of those would be almost 1:1 the same (and exactly 1:1 for Demon Hunters) and just aired somewhere else.K-Pop Demon Hunters is a Sony ProductCamp Cretaceous is DreamworksStranger Things is 21 Laps
>>151634307>(and is blackmailed by Mossad rape island too)but I though Muslims were more lax with the AoC and thus pedo accusations were just water on a ducks back.
>>151636564I hate the idea of Netlfix owning them more desu

>>151636693>Camp Cretaceous is Dreamworksowned by Universal/Comcast, don't forget
>>151633611I just accepted that hardly any good media is getting made by big corporations in my lifetime anymore.So, if it cucks the cuck brigade, I'll just watch it happen and enjoy. That's the real entertainment that's left.
>>151628472WB reached the top during 80s, 90s and 2000s, but their story fell through grace really hard. Nowadays, Universal has beaten both them, and even Disney, at the box office, and that's because they're sorta the least insane in the entertainment industry, which isn't saying much by the way
>>151637116Same.Same reason I've stopped caring about AI slop.It's not my problem anymore, but if it causes increased suffering for the retards who cheered this shit on for the last decade, I'm fine with that.I'll stick to my niche stuff and old media.
>>151633915>all the upcoming generations who are going to know the new storiesLol, but mostly lmao.>>151633826I think it was commenting on Wandavision they said they were specifically looking for writers who wrren't into the comics.

David Ellison is so fucking weirdWhen he was born his dad was worth about half a million dollars and became a millionaire while he was a toddler. So he grew up with an upper middle class lifestyle for his early development, something I'm sure some of us can relate to, and then watched his dad's business "take off" when he was in high school and college.You'd think he'd be a down to Earth person because of this background but he's one of the most spoiled obnoxious failures on Earth and he will absolutely go bankrupt when his dad leaves everything to the research foundation.
>>151636902>MI: Dead Reckoning & Last Reckoning>Transformers One>Killers of the Flower Moon>Roofman>Novocaine>Jackass Forever>Sonic trilogy>Naked Gun>Top Gun Maverick
So many leftists bot who can fucking understand the basic of the news and derail the thread.
Reminder Ellison was very woke a few years ago and implemented many policies towards that, and only switched to the modern stance under trump to get his favor He is an opportunist does not have any opinion besides promoting what gives him more control and money, outside supporting Zionist efforts of course So if you think this means Paramount will not make woke ever and not switch towards when the next president comes in, then lol lmao
>>151637318Money talks, bullshit walks. Increase the bid David.
>>151637442His bid was higher but Zaslav rejected it because he didn't want Superman owned by the King of Saudi Arabia
>>151625883>>151633915>"...Do we want to build a Tatooine and build what all the 50-somethings remember Star Wars is? Or do we want to build something else which is going to appeal to all the upcoming generations who are going to know the new stories?”It's fascinating how the only lasting legacy related to the sequel trilogy for younger generations is... Reylo fanfiction.
>>151637795They genuinely could not ever foresee Star Wars failing. It was too huge and too popular of a franchise that they really did assume they could shit in a box, slap a Star Wars label on it, and it wold make billions forever. Everyone in all steps of production kind of ignored the fact that at the end of the day the movies still need to be watchable.
>>151638031I'm shocked that it didn't tank the perceived value of legacy IP in general
I only care about physical media releases of old content untouched by modern censors and I trust Paramount on that a lot more than I would Netflix.
I JUST WANT DC AND CARTOON NETWORK DEADWHICH COMPANY WILL DO THAT FOR ME

>>151639092The first one already exists too, Jellystone. All entertainment has been gay race communism for over a decade.

>>151637392>Killers of the Flower MoonThat's Apple.
>>151639160While Apple distributed, Paramount did produced it, so it does count
>>151637455Zaslav rejected it because Paramount is offering 30 dollar per share for the whole thing while Netflix is offering 28 dollar per share for just WB+HBO, and he felt that Ellison was undervaluing CNN, Discovery and the cable networks. The funniest part is that Paramount probably still needs to buy the cable networks because they promised Trump and that's why they're pissing their pants about the deal not going through.
>>151639117Their shit goes as far back as 1948 when they were caught by the US law of booking and owning movie theatres when other major movie studios (particularly MGM, WB, Fox, and RKO) ended up breaking free from such, while the smaller three (Universal, Columbia and UA) never owned an actual theatre. The antitrust court case, known as the Paramount Decree, ended up changing movie history as we know it, and this was during a time consumers were also owning television as the future of technology, while theatres were about to adapt to bigger things, like 3D, drive-ins, or widescreen, in hopes of staying alive in a suburban post-WW2 society.
>>151639087I mean Snagglepuss has always been gay
>>151638591ywnbaw
>>151639367Joe Barbera got angry at anyone who ever suggested that.
Netflix would kill all movie theatures for good but would cause the most change.Paramount would keep many things going the same outside axing what they don't like to clear off some of the debt from the purchase. This is good since at least physical will exist in some form.Paramount > Netflix.
>>151639699It's true though. Joe getting pissed about Snagglepuss being gay, I mean.
>>151639796Despite how bad of a corporation Paramount is, it can still be a win for movie theatres, but is it really necessary? Because most movies, if not all, that have been coming out in theatres are just IPs that are chasing the Marvel/Disney crowd for over the past decade and a lot are just failing one after another

>>151625422john lasseter will take over warner animation
Can anyone explain what a Hostile Takeover means?
>>151639796Who even go to watch movies in theaters anymore?
>>151640134It means offering the money directly to the shareholders and letting them decide over the board of directors. The result depends on how highly the shareholders value Discovery, CNN and the cable networks since that's the reason Zaslav and the board didn't agree to any of Ellison's offerings.
>>151639796Paramount being the "sensible" option is what makes them worse. The entertainment industry is in dire straits and needs a shake-up. Netflix would achieve this unintentionally because they're fucking retarded and have been coasting on their first-mover advantage for years.
>>151640158Oh damn. That explains the hostility part.
>>151640173Nah fuck you, cattle have proved time and time again accelerationism doesn't work and that things only get worse and people just accept them
>>151640139You do realize this isn't 2020/2021 anymore
>>151638144It eventually did anyway, SW is now an old hat IP and is infamous for being emasculated trash like everything Disney does.About the only good about this fiasco is that it made way too many men realize the estrogen factory that western media currently is, to give you an idewd, it's gotten so bad by now that young men are even refusing to watch F/M as main characters because they know by now that the male is gonna be simp emasculated trash used as punching bag and the women as grrr boss, femo*d fatigue is already kicking in

>>151639940Flamboyant doesnt equal gay, anon.Fags just wanted some representation instead shutting the fuck up and sitting in their closet as intended.
>>151640181Of note is that the Ellisons are pretty notorious for doing this.
>>151625353What will happen when one company finally owns them all?
>Investors walked away impressed — and are now waiting to see how Netflix and WBD each respond. WBD has 10 days from Paramount’s announcement to reply to it; shareholders have 20 business days to turn over their shares to Paramount, if they’re won over by Ellison’s argumentshttps://www.semafor.com/article/12/09/2025/investors-warm-to-paramounts-bid-for-warner-brothers
It never ends well for the companies that purchase WB; AOL, AT&T, Discovery
>>151630484You're misinformed. Netflix has owned Millarworld for the better part of the decade and hasn't fucked with it. I think they'd be fine.
this is the presentation paramount put out to investors last nighthttps://ir.paramount.com/static-files/68ed3e0e-fa6b-4b8f-a2cc-2c5f173e73c4
>>151642873It's telling that Paramount touts it has insider access to getting regulatory approval.
>>151642888Cronyism is alive in 2025. No /pol/ but are you really surprised?
>>151642873>everything is for the shareholdersSo they're trying to turn everything to shit?When has anything positive for shareholders ever meant good things for the employees or consumers?
>>151642888That reads more like "Netflix is dominating the market and will likely get rejected as a monopoly, we're fucking struggling and won't face the same scrutiny"
>>151642572That's what I'm hoping for
>>151640891Who this ugly redneck?
>>151642572Sad, but true.
>>151642572What a shame
>>151643080You know, you're in this thread about this guy, right?
>>151635737*if they buy warner>>151636136Spongebob is getting a movie this year and it looks mediocre as fuck. Is that Patrick Show still going as well? Honestly did anyone really ask for Patrick Star show.
>Be me>Planning on making an online series>Nobody is going to be able to see my pitch to their studios>Artists are leaving in droves and being replaced with AI slop>VA's might soon just sell their voices in voice packages instead of being there to record >Mfw Is it over for me? I'm just starting out.
>>151645433You are the species from Halo that achieved Space Flight hours before the Halo Array fired.
>>151625422Cartoons are dead. Physical media and preservation for them are also dead. Nothing new under the sun.
>>151625353Which company is more likely to appeal more to the furry fandom?Paramount or Netflix?
>>151645760Tough call. On one hand, Netflix is pro Lgbtxyzetc+. Most of the furries are lumped in the gay stuff nowadays. They also greenlit Brave New Animal. On the other hand, Paramount's involved with a lot of freaky furry shit over the years (Sobic being a prim example). However, one thing to keep in mind is Paramount is now owned by the Saudis. They eventually will turn on Furry stuff since bestiality = sin and bonesaw anyone who disagrees. I'm gonna say Netflix probably.
>>151645760Netflix has the rights to Redwall, still haven't done anything with it.
One last thing to mention: Even if the FTC is useless and allows the Netflix merger to go through, they still have to duke it out on the international market, with the EU as one of the toughest regulatory process in the world. The US market is not the end, and both netflix and WB would still have to divest some shit and pay massive fines to an unfavorable national review board before any of this shit is over, if at all.That's why the microsoft buyout of activision took so long, the UK blocked it, for a while.
>>151645832Redwall is shit, good for Netflix.
Will Physical media be completely dead under Netflix or Paramount? How about the Warner Archive?
>>151645995Paramount laid off a lot of people recently. On the other hand, Netflix needs movies that don't go away after the license expires. I can see Netflix being more hoardy about the Warner Library, especially since it will attract more people if they have the movies the subscribers are looking for. That's the also main reason everyone fears Netflix getting Warnerbros. If they have actual content that doesn't disappear, it means they have staying power. All the other big corpos have been trying to kill them with their own subscription services.
>>151645405Why are you replying to me why this? I never even mentioned any of it
>>151646172Huh oh you mentioned spongebob and it reminded me that we're getting a movie
THEY are destroying WB to bits and pieces and you know it
