Paramount Skydance is angry and has issued its final warning
This is humiliating
>>151995701is Paramount retarded or what?
>>151995701What are they gonna do about it?
>>151995718Larry Ellison is desperate to own CNN so he can insure the narrative is controlled in the next election cycle.
>>151995734Bitch and whine a bit more, make yet another offer, get rejected again.Rinse and repeat until WB isn't for sale anymore.
>>151995755With Netflix owning WB, they have no interest in the tv channels, so Paramount will probably end up buying those
>>151995784You'd think they just wait then until the TV channels are spun-off and go for those. But then, they'll probably be private for a while and Ellison doesn't want to wait.Also, he has the charisma of a sponge soaked in the juice of a dumpster behind a Long John Silvers, which is why he always has to try the hostile takeover maneuvers.
>>151995701I mean, regardless of everything else it is crazy WB refused a deal of an extra 20 something BILLION dollars.>it's because-i dont care, im just saying, wanting to give them billions extra and being denied is wild
>>151995808Retards don't realize that Netflix's PR machine is behind all these articles that paint Paramount in a silly light in an effort to sway the opinions of the shareholders so they'd go with Netflix's worse offerIt's like they forgot what Netflix did with Bird Box and Squid Game, they invest more money in the narrative and shilling than they do in the quality of their output
>>151995808If Jeffery Epstein offered you a billion dollars for your business, would you take it?Would you take it and forever be tainted by association with him?
>>151995817Paramount's offer is worse because it includes the Discovery portion of the split, which they are paying less for the Warner portion overall then Netflix is offering
After suffering through Stranger Things with my gf I have no clue why anyone in the world would want Netflix to take control of anything whatsoever.
>>151995824I would be a billionaire why would I care what normal people think?
>>151995824Honestly I'm kinda with >>151995972You gotta remember that you're asking normal ass people who have never even had 1 million dollars lmao, it's probably easier for soulless executives to reject such offers.
>>151995972no man it's not like thatthe common impression of billionaires is that once you're that rich you never need to do anything again and you'll always have more moneybut you're constantly subject to costs beyond your control like the massive potential for fraud (from anyone in your circle, be they family, friends, employees, contractors, whoever) and of course you're not doing the day to day running of your money (to make it make more money) and no normal bank is going to touch your money (because there are specialist institutions that do and most normal banks just can't cope with absurdly vast transactions on their software anyway) so you can't just say welp give me 5% annually and I'll bank with you to the first place you walk into (and again, the average bank simply is not set up to deal with the massive potential for fraud that all of that money concentrated into a few accounts would create - you do need specialists, and you do need to employ someone to check that the specialists are doing their shit)then there's personal security which can run anywhere from hiring some bullshitter to push people down ahead of you in the street like a common rube to hiring an entire detective agency to maintain your security and interests like some asshole from a Beverley Hills Cop movieat this point you employ over 50 people and not at minimum wage and you're probably not a billionaire any more because you didn't get cash, you got stock options and bought property (because property only appreciates in value, right? WRONG) and your wealth is down below 900 milnow those big banks don't really want your business as much (they'll take your money, but you'll still get put on hold) and you're having to make day to day decisions you pay normal people to come up with options for because they understand this shit and you just got a billion dollars from your pedo friend, who everybody knows aboutnow you're on a list, the president's personally confiscating your money
>>151995942They're the lesser evil in this situation, that's it, Paramount is the fucking worst.I was actually rooting for Universal to get WB, but that's clearly not an option anymore.
>>151996033>now you're on a list, the president'sthe president is also on that list lmao
>>151995701So what's the actual reason Warner keeps rejecting Paramount's offers here? What is it about being owned by Netflix that is so much more beneficial?
>>151996085I think it's more that they really don't want to be owned by Paramount.
>>151996085Because Warner has to hold to shareholder primacy by law and Paramount's offer is worse than the income shareholders would get with a Netflix sale of Warner assets plus split of the cable assets (which likely will be acquired themselves by Paramount)
>>151996085Netflix is the largest streaming platform. I don't know much about business growth stuff, but I assume they see it as a continuing growing market. Paramount is one of those that falls into the "other" categorization, at least in streaming. But again, not really that well versed in all that stuff so I don't know how that applies to the big overall picture type stuff.There's maybe the question of leadership or debt and stuff, since I think they have to borrow a fuckton of money from various people to make this potential deal happen. Saudis may have all that oil money, but they spend it on dumb shit like those "megacity" projects that end up being retarded.
>>151995808A lot of the Ellison funds are imaginary, locked up in things like AI stock.Netflix has real, hard, actual cash.
>>151995701We reached the point in history where companies now bitch and moan on social media for all to see.
>>151995701They are soooooooooooo close to finally removing the Globalist troon influence from national news. They can't fumble at the finish line.
>>151995972Have you not noticed that most billionaires now sit on Twitter and shitpost? Everyone has that dream of things they would do if they were ever fuck you rich. Now modern technology has displayed to everyone that people who become fuck you rich spend all their days shitposting on twitter. Nothing else.
>>151996085In addition to the other good points, this >>151996708Paramount can promise billions of dollars, doesn't necessarily mean shareholders will ever see it.
>>151996743I cant wait until people have enough of /pol/shits like you and start putting you rednecks in concentration camps. Charlie kirk wasnt enough
>>151995734Complain to the administration
>>151996708They pretty much have to lock up their value in something. Banks only protect up to $100K and anything else can be stolen, lost, errored out of existence etc. People with more value than that have to turn their money into something like property or stock just to have some element of security. The problem that comes from that decision is they have to pay taxes on that property, this is how dumb people lose everything. You buy a huge expensive property, but then comes the annual several million property tax, meaning your total value depreciates every single year no matter what.
>>151995755>Decoupling the globalist grip on American news and information>This is only considered "controlling" when foreign anti-american saboteurs do it
>>151996815It's crazy how much WB has been passed around in the past decade like a cheap dimestore whore and it's been nothing but a detriment to their media whenever it happens
>>151995755CNN is already the most controlled, bullshit propaganda spewing, fake news machine in all entertainment. There is NO such thing as buying it to control it, that already happened decades ago.
>>151995942Liberals are whining and screeching because their fake news told them that Paramount is kinda, sorta, maybe, an eency weency bit related to the Bad Orange Man somehow. So they are obligated to screech and bitch about it.
>>151996085Zaslav/Discovery wants to sell off the Warner film studio and some of their subsidiaries, while keeping the broadcast and cable channels. Netflix is interested in that deal while Skydance wants everything including the broadcast channels Discovery is not interested in letting go.
Just let WB die. let them die.
>>151996846>CNN is already the most controlled, bullshit propaganda spewing, fake news machine in all entertainmentHe says when Fox news exist
>>151996035> They're the lesser evil in this situationFaggots want to shorten the time window for movie theater releases to 17 days. Those guys want to kill that shit for good.
>>151996846But they didnt get hit with a 800 billion lawsuit from Dominion and kicked their top pundit for it
>>151996886Yes I do, they actually tell real news from actual sources. Not just the Obama narrative that makes damn sure to maintain a very partisan party specific story to keep voters in line. There is a huge fucking difference.
>>151995942Netflix isnt drowning in debt and can actually afford to produce new animated projects but co anons passionately hate modern cartoons so of course they dont care
>>151996896You mean the time Biden abused his position to attack news companies that did not push the Democrat fake narrative and used his appointed judges to attack free speech?Yes I had heard of that.
>>151995942Not everyone is a dumbass like you
>>151996926>and can actually afford to produce new animated projectsUhh, didn't Netflix shut down their entire animation division a few years ago?
>>151996133That's such a stupid fucking law
>>151996927i only got pieces of the story because I was too busy dealing with mandatory Biden lockdowns and fake disease panics drummed up by the White house to attack the core concept of civil liberties in the US as we know it...
>>151996891What does that mean, that a movie will only be in the cinema for 17 days and then it's pulled? >>151996914When? And Obama hasn't been relevant for 10 years now. He wasn't even in the Epstein files so why are you bringing him up
>>151996936Yep, they massively expanded their animation department back in 2019....only to shit everything down again in early 2021. This really fucked over a lot of people who were hired for big projects, moved to Los Angeles, and then were kind of fucked when Netflic laid off majority of the new hires.Some of those people only worked a couple months before Netflix laid them off.
>>151996891Pretty sure they just want to shorten the exclusivity window and put the releases up on streaming after 17 days as well rather than pull it from theaters, and regardless that isn't happening until at least 2027.
>>151996035>They're the lesser evil in this situation,No they're not. Enjoy owning nothing and having old shows/movies altered.
>>151996936Good thing WB has an animation division they can use. You act like Netflix hasnt paid for animation but Kpop demon hunters should light a fire under their ass to explore animation.
>>151996927>Stuff that never happened
>>151996951Because that's what terminally Fox News addicted freak do?You make any form of counter argument to their insane rantings an it's always >Uhh...er...uhh...b-but BIDEN!>Uhh...er...uhh...b-but OBAMA!>Uhh...er...uhh...b-but HILLARY!They kind of don't understand discourse outside of assuming you worship some politician like a golden god too and insult them to get a rise out of you. But it rarely works, they just kind of leave assuming they really triggered you in some way.
>>151996989When's the last time WB made a good cartoon?
>>151996989KDM was made by Sony let's not forget that
>>151996989>Good thing WB has an animation division they can use.Anon, do you not understand what happens after a company spends billions of dollars?Hint, they don't start spending even more money on animation, if anything Kpop Demon Hunters fucks your argument even more, because it's not like Netflix even made that, they just purchased it for cheap from Sony since Sony thought it wouldn't make any money.Netflix is unlikely to spend money producing their own animation, it makes way more sense for them to license or purchase animation made by someone else, they sure as shit won't be buying WB so they can spin up their in-house animation studios.
>>151995701Nickelodeon should end their deal with Paramount now at this point. The whole reason Trump's hillbillies owning Paramount was to takeover the news networks, right?
>>151996951>He wasn't even in the Epstein files Well duh, he wasn't Epstein's mark. Some other Mossad guy in some other island was in charge of that project. You're not dumb enough to think Jeffrey's the only one, right?
>>151996948>I was too busy dealing with mandatory Biden lockdownsthe ones that started with Trump?
>>151997010DCSHG 2019, Aztec Batman, The Day The Earth Blew Up, Jellystone, Creature Commandos
>>151996988Oh no, soon we will be getting weird twitchy 12 fingered updates to 80s movies!Get ready for Back to the Future 4, Simpsons Movie 2, 3, 4, and 5, Conan 3, Ghostbusters 6, Beetlejuice 3, Aliens Again, Terminator Ad Nauseam, Last Starfighter 2, Caddy Shack 3, National Lampoons Eternal Vacation...
>>151995701Hopefully trump stops the Netflix deal because there's clearly collusion.
>>151997011>>151997020If Netflix isnt buying WB for their cartoons, then what else for!? The Gunnverse?
>>151996989Too bad WB only ever churns out varying forms of Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes, not much else at all really. For the last 8 or so years they were only interested in big ensemble shows that just stick loads of old characters in it. They never do anything but stand around, but they are just sort of...there for nostalgia purposes.
>>151997070Anon, are you fucking serious?
>>151997051Pass on all of that.
>>151995755>Larry Ellison is desperate to own CNNGOOD!The sooner that propaganda shithouse that has been fucking over the nation is dead and gone the better.
>>151997069>Hey WB wont take Paramount's IOU note over Netflix's yacht full of money! There must be collusion afoot
>>151997070Netflix isn't buying WB to GET rights (and make more things) it's buying it to HOARD rights. So it can take all their old movies off streaming, cut physical releases, and bring the mainstream population one step closer to not being to watch anything except Stranger Things and Squid Game spinoffs. It's not about building up, it's about snuffing out competition.
>>151997082Ehh I dont know 1 IP is worth battling a corrupt president for
>>151997100It is when it's a symbol of transphobia now.
>>151997100That 1 IP is worth more than every WB cartoon over the last half-century combined.You seem to forget that HP is bigger than fucking Batman of all things.
>>151997069Trump is a ugly old shit bag.
>>151997095That could be one part of the equation but that applies to both Netflix and Paramount then. And I know Netflix is more able to take risks on new projects, which is all I want at the end of the day
>>151997039I'm not dumb enough to believe the >Pedo trafficking ring to blackmail everyoneStory you people have been going with.>>151997070>GunnverseYes, the entire DC library along with Terminator, Bladerunner, Dune, evil dead, Harry Potter, Final Destination, Friday the 13, Godzilla, lord of the rings & the hobbit, King Kong, mad max, the matrix and Lego movies to name a few franchise that WB currently has their hands on if not ownage.
>>151996951> that a movie will only be in the cinema for 17 days and then it's pulledThat’s what I’m thinking.
>>151997122Yeah it just doesnt "feel" big anymore.
>>151997082This has become more of a theme park franchise than a film franchise.
>>151995701What's the issue here, it's not like Trump is going to allow a Netflix buyout. Warner needs to eventually capitulate to Skydance now, or do it tomorrow. Either way they will be Skydance property in the future.
>>151995701This isn't a drama the tabloids are making it out to be. It's two corporations being cold and calculating.
>>151997153>TerminatorDead>BladerunnerNormies dont care>Evil DeadShould be dead>Mad MaxDead>MatrixDead>Lego movieRessurection? Lego movies would go crazy on streaming
>>151997150Netflix will occasionally have an interesting foreign show and nothing but slop domestically.
Can /pol/ leave and stop trying to make everything political again? At least mention some cartoons or some shit
>>151995701>Paramount Skydance is angry and has issued its final warninghahahah Paramount can fume all it wants but the truth is they can't do can't do jack shit about the situtation. Just give it up paramount you lost and netflix won now they own WB.
>>151997225>Dead True but merch still exist and having ownership over big important IP is always a plus. >Should be deadI heard nothing but good things about the latest movies and tv show.
>>151997231And I liked Lower Decks but thats the only Paramount thing i can think of.Netflix had She-ra, Nimona, Kipo, Kevin Smith MOTU, Blood of Zeus, Twilight of the Gods, Bojack, Long Story Short, Seis Manos, Haunted Hotel, etcWhether you think its slop or not, its a more interesting and diverse catalogue
>>151997233Unfortunately in this situation things are very political due to the following factors 1. News networks would be included in the sales 2. The sale of WB would require approval from the government 3. One company is close to the government and fully willing to repeat the current administration lies
>>151997274>I heard nothing but good things about the latest movies and tv show.Thats my ignorance then. I heard nothing new about it since the Sam Raimi remake
>>151997277All of those are disgusting.New entertainment is a lost cause to me regardless of the production companies involved, I only care about the preservation of old media. That's over with Netflix.
>>151997306Grow up manchild
>>151996951>When? And Obama hasn't been relevant for 10 years now. He wasn't even in the Epstein files so why are you bringing him upDon't bother, you're either arguing with a paid shill or an actual schizo
>>151997306Buy blurays ig
>>151997306You pirate anyway so it is preserved for you forever
>>151996035Paramount isn't gonna shit on the movie industry, how are they not the lesser evil?
>>151996891The movie theater business has been dying year after year. It's fate is inevitable.
>>151997342I have to bother my job actually requires me to argue with people who do have schizophrenia, and for those people I actually have to keep my cool and be respectful.
>>151997326>caring about preserving things makes you a manchildHow does it feel to be on the level of a Brave New World Gamma?>>151997400There won't be any more or any more releases of still-not-available material.>>151997406This requires a group of enthusiasts who have to continue to care. The internet isn't forever.
>>151997277Only a shill would bring up any of those as good, let alone all of themWith how long Netflix has been around and how much money they have it's fucking wild how they have NOTHING to show for it
>>151997277>She-ra, Nimona, Kipo, Kevin Smith MOTU, Blood of Zeus, Twilight of the GodsThose were all shit, which is probably why Netflix doesn't focus much on animation anymore, especially in-house.
>>151996935Says the retard
>>151997466>caring about preserving things makes you a manchildNo, what makes you a manchild is the fact that you only care for the old stuff. You have no interest in the new stuff or what's to come because those things are scary, you seek comfort in what you know and what you know is the stuff from childhood.
>>151997623People can't produce anything of quality anymore and if you can't see that then you're a low IQ consumer drone.
>>151995701>>151995718Verily.While Orange Jesus night have read the NY Post when he was still living at Trump Tower, he's barely paying attention to someone who can't even get trending on xshitter. So they are wasting their time feeding crap to a garbage writer for a garbage paper. If they can't get Variety or Time to write about it, the Stable Genius isn't paying attention. Not when oil companies are offering to help pay for his library.
>>151997652You couldn't recognize quality even if it slapped you in the face
>>151995701>Paramount Skydance is angry and has issued its final warningIs that a deliberate reference to the joke that is China's final warning (for those not in the know, it's an old USSR joke about China issuing 900+ "final warnings" about American air presence in Taiwan but never taking any follow up action).
>>151997509Netflix has made some good shows, it's just that pretty much none of them are animated because Netflix doesn't really give a fuck about animation.
>>151997623Ehh, things are definitely worse than they were even a decade ago, I genuinely think anon might just have higher standards than you because he's been exposed to more than you have.
>>151997834I think he's too deep in the /v/ and & /tv/ "everything is slop and bad" bullshit
>>151997867NTA I think your use of ‘slop’ and sorting of thoughts by tribe shows that you’re very very quick to jump on things other people say and do and it speaks to low discernment in general.
>>151997867I think it's the opposite, a lot of anons on /co/ genuinely have bad taste and low standards, which is something people who aren't mainly into /co/ media realize when they see /co/mrades talk about the non-/co/ media they like, which also tends to be bad.
>>151997623>You have no interest in the new stuff or what's to come because those things are scary, you seek comfort in what you know and what you know is the stuff from childhood.I like a lot of things that were created before I was alive and that I never had any exposure to when I was a kid. Just don't care for most new entertainment. Maybe it'll change again in the future, not any time soon though.
>>151997775>Netflix has made some good showsNo it hasn't
>>151997886Do you deny that those two boards in questions love to use that word and complain about everything?
>>151997122Couldn't they just buy the franchise then and not take the rest?
>>151996834Are you retarded or something, Larry Ellison is literally a CIA spook MIGA type. Who do you think the Globalists are.
>>151997920Ehh, I liked Ozark and Narcos for the most part.I'm trying to think of a show of theirs that didn't completely shit the bed by the end.Does Cobra Kai count? I've never seen it, but I've heard good things about it.
>>151997415>Paramount isn't gonna shit on the movie industryThey just announced that the new ATLA movie that was going to go to theaters is going directly to Paramount+ instead which nobody has because it's a genuinely shitty platform. /co/ doesn't care because it hates ATLA now but Paramount's essentially the same as Netflix when it comes to their respect for theaters. Netflix's offer was just better.
>>151998043That's because it's a failed production +, not because they're moving to a streaming-only format, Paramount still has billions to make in cinemas, Netflix does not
>>151996783>Have you not noticed that most billionaires now sit on Twitter and shitpost? Only Elon does that and that's because he's a retard.You don't hear shit from people like Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates.
>>151996891>want to shorten the time window for movie theater releases to 17 daysso big win for piracy?
>>151996085Warner Bros and HBO are were bought for 88 million alone. Zas thinks he can get more money from the cable side than what Paramount is offering (roughly 2-3 dollars per share where as Zas wants $5+)
>>151996989>Good thing WB has an animation division they can use.Buddy, WB Animation is a joke. What are they making right now worth a damn besides Primal?
>>151998286Smiling Friends is WB innit
>>151995808Because the oracle dollars are AI fantasy bucksThe Netflix stock is of actual real valueTime Warner, having once been bought by fucking AOL, has the institutional memory to understand monopoly money is not worth real things
>>151998222Yes. Imagine torrenting the new Superman movie in just a little over 2 weeks.
>>151998293Smiling Friends is Williams Street/Bento Box
>>151995824The billionares the offer is being made to are also Jeffrey Epstein. What makes you think billionares give a single shit about moral character?
>>151997069Trump won't do shit.
>>151998222Until we get a "cyber pandemic" to justify locking the internet up.
>>151997085>the sooner that propaganda shithouse is turned into a propaganda shithouse for my side, the better
>>151998167Bezos does his shitposting through proxies in the Washington Post opinion section
The most Trump will do is hand the cable channels to Ellison while Netflix gets the IPs to sit on.
>>151997082That shit's been box office poison for like a decade.
>>151997069lmao. corporate collusion has been de facto legal in the US for years, and even if it wasn't why would trump give a fuck
>>151997051>Aztec BatmanDon't kid yourself ese.
>>151995755It's not just that. It's Ellison's son.If we are being totally honest, Paramount has always been a small fish in the pond compared to WB, Disney, or Universal.I mean, aside from Dreamworks, you think Paramount and you notice a bit of a trend. Gladiator, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, Interstellar, Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, Grease, Wolf Of Wall Street, Ghost, Forrest Gump.You noticed it?Let me explain. All of these are big hit movies or franchises with heavy emphasis on star power directors and actors who could easily take their business elsewhere.There are no "paramount IPs" where the audience would be willing to give things a chance even if certain personalities weren't involved or were put into much more limited roles.Nepobabies are insecure, they need to feel like they made something of themselves because their parents are often living legends. Ellison's son wants to flip Paramount into the big Disney rival so he can feel like he's done something with his own life and in business major fashion, wants to do it the quick way
>>151997036How does a fully owned subsidiary "end their deal" with their parent company?>>151998520The first Fantastic Beasts film grossed over $800 million. The second still did over $600 million. Most studios would kill for spinoff franchises hitting those numbers.
>>151998605>YOU'RE BROWNlol
>>151998651Shit lost money to the studio and had abysmal critical response, there's a reason they cancelled bunch of proyects related to that crappy franchise anon.
>>151998651and the third, anon? You do remember there was a third one, right?
>>151996085Netflix CEO is BFFs with Zsaslov (head of WB) and the Netflix deal gives Zsaslov a huge bonus for the sale. Combined with Netflix being in bed with Obama and the DNC, who are desperate to keep the WB library from selling to a Trump supporter, especially in light of the Ellisons shit canning Colbert (a high ranking paid for DNC shill) and that owning WB means they can finally punish Rowlings for wrong think by controlling Harry Potter and perma ban a huge chunk of "problematic cinema" like Gone With the Wind.
>>151998680>>151998689That's because the movies were garbo, not because the IP isn't popular. It doesn't help that it had the wombo combo of both Johnny Depp and Ezra Miller drama. Hogwarts Legacy selling 40+ million copies should tell you that normies still love the overall franchise.
>>151997277Paramount does not really have anything or attempt to make anything outside of CSI and Star Trek. After that all they got is nostalgia for how cool their cable channels were back in the 90s. Paramount + only works for people who want to watch old MTV or Nickelodeon shit they saw as kids 30 years ago.
>>151995701Are they going to kidnap the CEO of WB? lmao.
>>151997233The fact that a ranking Trump minion is doing this to get his hands on CNN is what makes this whole situation interesting to /pol/fags. They are going to appear when talk of Skydance buying Warner comes up. They are salivating at how all the liberals will be triggered when yet another billionaire buys something they like/use in the same vein as Musk buying Twitter.
>>151998167JK Rowling counts I guess. Her days are pretty much shitposting tweets as well.
Wow, fuck Paramount.
>>151997233It IS political. Ellisons are trying to buy CNN to make it another Fox News like they and Bari Weiss did with CBS.
>>151999032It amuses me to see liberals lose their shit at the very thought of losing a false narrative propaganda factory.
>>151997051
>>151997061A couple of these are already happening
>>151995718They are a failing company desperate for a buoy.
>>151997085Yep, definitely MAGAyou do know your dear leader might’ve just got us into a fucking war, right? Thanks jackass
>>151999081I don’t even watch CNN, but it’s clear that once it goes, all the news channels would be owned by Trump lackeys and we wouldn’t get equal coverage anyway
>>151996035I would rather have Paramount takeover because I'm selfish and want my blu rays and dvds still. We just got a complete Tom and Jerry blu ray collection with its most banned cartoons. Don't stop that now.
>>151999165I just pirate everything and put it on USB sticksA physical copy is a physical copy either way
>>151999176Kind of fair. I still love restorations and commentaries.
>>151999149>Getting us into a war>by 100% avoiding the war entirely with a swift and immediate decapitation strike that took out the leader in one nightThis is why you need to quit watching globalist propaganda bullshit anon. Trump bypassed the war completely. Democrats would have instead embroiled the US into another 20+ year long engagement to enrich themselves and their masters at the expense of the taxpayer.
>>151995755Why bother? The Republicans are never winning another election ever again
>>151995701I wanted Universal to buy Warner Bros so we could have a Looney Tunes, Cartoon Network, and DC Comics areas at Universal Studios.
>>151998449Until? It's already happening. Look up digital ID and any news relating to the UK.
>>151999205You don’t think they already know that? They’re TOTALLY gonna rig the midterms
>>151999185I’m not listening to his dementia-ridden ramblings either
>>151999164All news channels are already garbage, who cares?
>>151995718Look like.Paramount: Help me! I'm bleeding out and AND running out of air!WB: Ok, hold on a sec. I'll get you right out of there and get on my way-Paramount: No, I want you to rescue me, stay with me, AND pay for my medical care!!
>>151999281I know. Believe me, I know. It terrifies me to my soul.
>>151996085>So what's the actual reason Warner keeps rejecting Paramount's offers hereImagine that you are a child in a custody battle. Your extremely wealthy, successful businessman father who is a household name in every first world country on the planet and whose global corporate empire is a competitor with Amazon and Disney wants you to move in with him, he says he's gonna buy you a playstation. Your mother, lower-middle class and working at a downsizing office who will probably lose her job in the next five years and seems to really just be clinging desperately to the idea of holding onto you as form of denial that her life is falling apart wants you to move in with her, and she says she'll buy you a playstation AND a gameboy... a-and a puppy! a-and a new bike please just choose me.Paramount's deal is "better" because Paramount-Skydance is not even in the same arena as Netflix. They HAVE to shove as much upfront cash in as possible because who the fuck is going to want to be bought up by the company whose flagship media outputs are shit like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown when the other options is fucking Netflix? It was always a bluff. They were hoping that if they waved enough cash, shareholders would be tempted by the immediate gratification rather than the very obvious better investment and sell themselves to a much, much worse company for quick lump sum.

>>151996886Fox spreads outright lies. CNN spreads credible lies.
>>151996085>>151995701Paramount is on the wrong side of history.
>>151997100>>151999205the entire world CELEBRATING Venezuela's liberation might have something to say about that, anon

>>151999362>Your extremely wealthy, successful businessman father who is a household name in every first world country on the planet and whose global corporate empire is a competitor with Amazon and DisneyIn its dreams. In 2024 Amazon's revenue was $637.9 billion, Disney's was $94.425 billion, Netflix's was $39.0 billion and Paramount's was $29.2 billion. They're doing better than Paramount, but not by much when looking at everyone.
>>151999362This anon gets it. Netflix single-handedly disrupted a century-old method of film distribution in under a decade. They're the future.
>>151995701The very fact it's here in this headline confirms beyond all dlubt that this is a lie.
>>151995755Why havent they figured out that the things said on cnn do not win elections?
>>152000171NTA, but a few things to consider:>Amazon's film business is a fraction of their global operations>Disney has 100 years of merch and theme park sales propping them up>Netflix is a literal who without a diverse portfolio that's also worth 1/3rd of fucking DisneyIt's hard to understate Netflix's achievements when you consider that almost all of their revenue comes from selling a single product. One day people might unanimously decide to drop Netflix for Tubi, but the fact that every studio on Earth decided to follow Netflix's model instead of rebuke it proves that Netflix did something right in their eyes.
>>152000163>27 years of getting dryed up by chinks, ruskies, cubans, and mexicans with NOTHING in returnMake a census. "I rather be an USA colony" massively wins .
>>152000352I think the USA needs to be colonized and split up
>>152000393ok pedro
>>151998722The IP is not as popular as it once was anon, and given that publishing and the movie business are very liberal envornments I doubt studios are that eager to engage with it. Also,>Game shock full with niggers and troons solds 40+million copiesIt's the shitstorm over the internet and culture war dumb shit that made that shovelwear game to sell, and given how faggy the whole thing is it's not the win rightoids make it up to be.
>>151999362Mothers always win custody battles.Try again.
>>151998717so, it'll be okay for liberals to like Harry Potter again, and right wingers will stop pretending to like this garbage?
>>152000452Wrong
>>152000340>One day people might unanimously decide to drop Netflix for Tubi, but the fact that every studio on Earth decided to follow Netflix's model instead of rebuke it proves that Netflix did something right in their eyes.It proves a lot of CEOs are retarded. They abandoned a revenue model that worked for one that doesn't.
