We are so fucked anons.>Paramount has reportedly reached a settlement with California and other states challenging its Warner Bros. merger.>A formal announcement is expected today. (via Bloomberg)>https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/2102046351248773497?s=20
>>155560344Thanks, I hate it.
>>155560344Oh brother
>>155560344Nothing gets made now anyway, what is the difference outside nothing gets made but 50% of the workers are laid off?
WB is going to tank another buyer
>>155560344Well, that's it then. All hope is finally lost.
>>155560344But bros we can get our epic CN and Nick crossover !!!1
>>155560344I hope this make paramount skydance bankrupt, fuck david ellison
>>155560344>No, you can't sell your shitty studio to the Evil Right Wing Megacorp!>You have to sell your shitty studio to the Evil Liberal Megacorp!It's a fucking joke
>>155560478Just say Zionist Megacorp, anon.
>>155560492so, all three party involved?
hope they add classic CN stuff to Pluto TV
>>155560503Yes.
>>155560413That's never going to happen, dumbass.
>>155560478>Your 5 sheckels have been deposited in your account by the Israeli goverment
>>155560557Nah, leave it on Tubi, it's better that way, PlutoTv is difficult to navigate without it being so laggy
I have an acquaintance that literally just left his stable job at a major feature animation studio to go work at Paramount animation. Did he just fuck himself?
>>155560344RIP DCU, seeya next reboot.
>>155560344that's for voting in conmendeserved
>>155560378>David Zaslav shakes hands with David Elison>Gets closer and whispers into his ear>"Thank you for freeing me of this horrid burden.">A thin, almost transparent kind of rot lurches from Zaslav's hand and behind burrowing into Elison's through his fingernails>Zaslav's grip becomes tighter.>David Elison soon hears a tortured scream from a distance that only he seems to hear.>Its his bank account! Its being raped and pillaged!>Zaslav lets go and quickly makes his escape on his golden parachute, off to properly rape and pillage another company into the ground.
>>155560344Fuck Ellison for having a hand in making Mixtape.>>155560478how about sell your shitty studio to no one?
>>155560344https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8OyBtMPqpNYhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HcmbzrWPOqw
we're gonna see quite possibly the biggest fucking layoff of jobs in eons but that's okay because THEY'LL PUT THE POWERPUFF GIRLS AND SPONGEBOB AND BUGS BUNNY AND JENNY WAKEMAN IN THE SAME GAMES AND CARTOONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE FRIENNNDSSSSSS ignore the fact we just gutted the entire cartoon network and boomerang staff and are basically about to kill the channels to make all their shit Nickelodeon properties THEY'RE HECKIN GOOD FRIENDSSSSSSSS
>>155560478>Evil Right Wing Megacorp!I thought that was nothing more than a myth.
I can hardly feel anything anymore. Witnessing two of the crummiest companies in show business scrap over WB like a couple of mangy mutts fighting for some roadkill has been a dismal experience. I only hope the Warner Archive team is allowed to keep going about their business... but it's not a very strong hope.
WB can barely even manage to put out moderately okay Powerpuff content, do you expect me to trust fucking PARAMOUNT to do the job????
I wonder if this will kill the Gumball movie for good.Holy fuck I’ve never been so cursed in my god damn life for anything else.
>>155561003The one positive here is I cannot see Warner Archive being shuttered. They need as much revenue as they can get and home media releases are not seen as a detriment to their company goals like it would Netflix.They’ll probably have Paramount content as part of the program as well
>>155560478This, I dont get why people think the other side is good, when is just another flavor of evil.This is just a choose the lesser of evils scenario, people are actually taking sides and that's actually extremely fucked.None the right and the left are good at all, both are fucked.
You're going to watch Trump propaganda in your cartoons and you're going to like it.
>>155561072in HBO Max Latam, they have Spongebob in its catalogue, which means the incorporation has started.
>>155561072>Warner Archive being able to give the Nicktoons actual good releases
>>155561032you're gonna get Blossom saying "Townsville was promised to it's citizens 3,000 years ago!" anon, welcome to the Paramount era
>>155560344Cool
>>155561097They haven't even touched the Hanna Barbera stuff from the 90s
>>155561097They have to get to the 90s HB/CN show first, they are still stuck on boomer 60s HB shitBut they finally just got out the last major one worth getting out with Quick Draw and there is not much else they could cover so hopefully they move to this era soon
>>155560344Once again both companies are going to go under. The debt of Warner is too insane for paramount to handle.
>>155561161The Saudis will cover it
>>155560344>Paramount is haemorrhaging money>Decides that the best course of action is to spend forty billion dollars that they don't have to buy a company that is also haemorrhaging moneyThere is no business sense behind this. Only schizo-boomer ideological dickwaving.
>>155560478Neither are right wing you fake nigga.
>>155561173Saudis could not cover 5 billion for fucking Liv Golf how will they cover the 80-100 billion debt for Warnermount?
>>155561032oh! that's the best part anon! YOU AREN'T GONNA BE GETTING ANYTHING! HAVE FUN HAVING MULTIPLE PROJECTS BE CANCELLED
>>155560344Patriots are in control. Based.
>>155561223have fun knowing the entertainment medium is gonna go down the shitter but MUH MERICAN' PATRIOTS GOT A W!!!!!!!!!!!
>>155561223Saudi Arabia are patriots?
>>155560344How does this effect my life?>>155560824Wrong.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPcXg90hLwI
What’s the point of this buyout if it’s all going to collapse?What ego is being achieved?
>>155561173Saudis are embroiled in an economic war with Houthis and Iran.they don't have the shekels for that
>>155561202Not to mention the EA acquisition was too much for them as well. Warner's debt is nearly 100 billion dollars.
How does this affect you PERSONALLY?
>>155561239Anon, the every entertainment medium has been going to shit for more than a decade now.
>>155561268it'll likely eventually make me miss the days of the fucking 2016 reboot
>>155561269The only entertainment that will exist in the future is the rich torturing the poor. Over and over again, every single day, forever and ever and ever and ever.
>>155561268I played Mixtape.that shit affected me on a personal deep level.
>>155561239>the entertainment medium is gonna go down the shitterIt’s already been shit in the sewers for quite a while. This is nothing.
>>155561247Because Warner Bros Discovery will end up going out of business without the merger. With the Paramount Merger, there is a chance of things NOT collapsing. The jobs lost via merger are much smaller compared to the job loss from an actual collapse.See also Disney buying Fox.
>>155561268Exactly. Yes, people at WB will lose jobs and projects will get cancelled but they can always find new work and new stuff will get developed.That's business. It's not fair, but it doesn't affect my life. It's not world ending.I say that as someone who despises Israel and their BS.
>>155561303>>155561127
>>155561299It can always get shittier and it will. The rich will never stop torturing the poor, for as long as the poor exist, they must be punished for existing. For no other reason are they allowed to exist.
>>155561244Less media choices and cancellation and scrapping of more projects so you will get even less new content then we get now which is not much if anything
>>155561161Truth to be told, I can't fully understand what are the consequences of this.I mean I get the antimonopoly rules.I get paramount gave a massive amount of money and taking radical actions to block Netflix from buying warner.But warner is on a massive debt, and right now are just floating thanks to the brand name alone.So I dont get why Paramount want to use this money, making themselves in danger, for buying an already sinking ship.People here just like to simplify this case in right vs left or liberals vs jews, but im more interested in understanding the business side of things and for real how the fuck this is gonna be good for paramount, when both Viacom and warner need a massive amount of money to solve their debt.The debt is even plausible to pay?I agreen and the stuff about how stupid is taking any side, both are horrendous sides for different reasons.
>>155561318Ok. I still work a job, I still get paid, nukes aren't landing on my doorstep. There will be ways to work around what you're talking about where I'm not affected because I don't work in the industry. I have too much shit in my personal life to worry about instead of holding the world on my shoulders like Atlas.
>>155561303>Because Warner Bros Discovery will end up going out of business without the mergerNo they were pretty sustainable reducing their far lower debt total and building up towards a bigger slate. They were not threatened with going under If anything this merger will actually potentially cause both entities to collapse under debt and be sold off in chunks
anyone wanna help me raise a money to buy the rights for PPGZ when this fuckass company eventually crumbles so I'm able to make official porn of it? :D
>>155561173>blocks you're path
>>155561367A MONEY, anon? the tangible concept of Money? damn that's out of my budget, how about A Coin?
>>155561295>will existanon...
>>155561367...will it mostly be Kaoru?
>>155561339Ok but this is the children cartoon forum and none of the topics truly matter in anyone’s overall life so.If you want to go further they are zionists and this along with Saudi ownership will be used to have more control over the west and which will cause further Middle Eastern conflicts and eventual wars but maybe the gas and overall prices don’t matter for you either
>>155561413nahhh it'll be mostly Momoko
>>155561445I'm not helping you raise money then, fuck you
>>155561440>If you want to go further they are zionists and this along with Saudi ownership will be used to have more control over the west and which will cause further Middle Eastern conflicts and eventual wars but maybe the gas and overall prices don’t matter for you eitherI blame the current administration for that, not Paramount. Of course I hate that shit but I have other people to hate for it specifically.
>>155561318>Less media choices and cancellation and scrapping of more projectsBoth of these things are happening regardless.
Well, at least DC will make that Batman/TMNT crossover officially canon now
>>155561344>No they were pretty sustainable reducing their far lower debt total and building up towards a bigger slate.Not even remotely true. Warner Bros wants to sell itself because it isn't sustainable. Sounds like you're just mad that CNN isn't going to be owned by Netflix.
>>155561539It will be even worse than it is now
>>155561570>Warner Bros wants to sell itself because it isn't sustainableWarner Bros did not even want to sell. They wanted to split off its cable business and disposed the remaining debt into it so they were clean.They are required to consider offers due to financial duality to shareholders and Paramount’s was so retardedly good for shareholders they were required to take it.>Sounds like you're just mad that CNN isn't going to be owned by NetflixI’m not 80 so I and no one here cares about fucking CNN lmao. Ellison isn’t even political outside being Zionist, they play both sides at the appropriate one if it advances their business. Different flavor Zionist politics will exist regardless so it is not anything I care aboutI am mad we are losing a major film studio for this merger that will have 80 billion in debt and fail in 5 years, and then even when they are sold off to a Netflix or a tech company we still lost a major film studio and potential content we would get. Let alone the insane job loss they will soon have
>>155560492Tired of everyone saying “zionist” just say jewish we all know thats what you really mean
>>155561382Yes, but the rich won't have to do it on private islands, they'll be able to do it in broad daylight in the middle of the street. They won't have to pretend that society is about anything except torture for its own sake. The world will finally be honest.
>>155560344How will this affect DC (Detective Comics) Comics?
>>155561570>Sounds like you're just mad that CNN isn't going to be owned by Netflix.Who gives a shit? WB was gonna spin CNN off as a separate company with the other cable channels, Netflix was never going to get CNN. Paramount's deal was they were gonna buy everything but if they only wanted CNN like people claimed, they could've just waited for the split and then buy it anyway.The real problem is Skydance just bought Paramount and then they're immediately trying to get WB? We don't even know how well Skydance would run Paramount.
>>155561295>>155561316>>155561783Yep, sure, the whole world's gonna turn into Hobo With a Shotgun in two weeks. Alright.
>>155560478They shouldn't be selling at all, they had multiple billion dollar successes these past 5 years surely this violates some kind of anti trust laws
>>155560344These two chucklefuck geniuses at clownfish tv seem to think the merger is a good thing, and are glazing the paramount heads
>>155561833>surely this violates some kind of anti trust lawLiterally every country in the world says it doesn't. Europe, Asia, Canada, and of course the USA said the merger was legal. It's just California who is mad about CNN.
>>155561833Disney's buyout of 20th Century Fox should've clued you to the fact that anti-trust laws are just a formality. They don't really exist.
>>155561801The Ninja Turtles and maybe Garfield become part of the main continuityDon't ask me how Garfield is supposed to tie into the main comics
>>155561851Literally who?
>>155561995And that was also a merger that never should've happened. Lucasfilm having fuckup after fuckup while Iger was trying to negotiate for Fox should've clued in people that Disney buying Fox would've also potentially been a bad idea.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-21/paramount-to-settle-lawsuits-paving-way-for-warner-bros-merger>The terms are said to include a financial penalty if the company fails to make good on a promise to distribute 30 films per year in theaters.You folks ready for low-quality (like, not even good enough to be direct-to-video quality either) slop flooding the theaters, that simply exist just to avoid having to pay a fine?
>>155562035What would even be different
>>155560344The Ellisons are really salty about Hawkgirl giving the Netanyahu expy a helicopter ride.
>>155561771Not every Jew is a zionist.
>>155562113Yes they are like 90% of jews are
I wish the government could turn the tax-write off for archiving old media away into sending it straight to the public domain.
>>155560344Yay media consolidation! Surely this will improve things!
>>155561833>surely this violates some kind of anti trust lawsWhen have right wingers in power ever cared about anti-trust laws?
>>155561833Nigga they're $50 billion in debt, making $2.5 billion in profit in 5 years isn't shit compared to that.
Yeah there will be heavy reduction of the industry with mass layoffs and project cancellations but did you consider that now Rocko can canonically be fucked by Looney Tunes characters?
Why was Disney Fox merger completely fine but California threw a shit fit about Paramount and WB trying to merge? Explain like I'm retarded
man
>>155560344So finish this shit already so paramount + can die and people are allowed to watch Sopranos and old Star Trek on the same streaming service. Neither of them is capable of producing good new material anyway
>>155561824No, it's going to turn into Narcissist With A Planet-Sized Torture Chamber.
>>155562035>You folks ready for [the same shit we've been getting for the last decade]?
>>155562361>they're $50 billion in debtYou get everything backwards. That figure is the debt that Paramount would carry to be able to acquire Warner. And after the merfe they would be in a grand total of 80 billion of debt. lmao
>>155560429I mean, WB IS cursed. It hurt AT&T and Discovery to the point that both sold WB for being worthless.People keep thinking WB is worth a lot and will bring in the big bucks but it never happens.
>>155560991>Luke, did I ever tell you about David Ellison?>He was a spoiled nepobaby who committed the first "temper tantrum acquisition" in human history, Luke>He played a massive game of having his daddy borrow against an extremely volatile stock that itself bet on beating a pending crash for a technology the majority of society had come to hate>and when that didn't work, he summoned Saudi Arabia and like 13 private equity companies.>His own company was worth $15billion and he got over a hundred and ten in loaned money to buy that shit, Luke>Of course, he leveraged the President by offering to deal with whatever news company hurt his feelings>And exactly what you expected would happen happened. It all crashed like a house of cards and everyone ran to their golden parachutes.>Tons of IPs went up for grabs, Luke, it was like a game of corporate Hungry Hungry Hippos>The company he competed for the bid with literally just yoinked what it wanted for much cheaper than they initially bid for.>A massive pointless delay and acceleration of an inevitable decline because he wanted to feel like a big boy>And he was a good friend.
>>155561783Kinda reminds me of that scene from the Purge Anarchy where the rich people above watch the poor people kill themselves.
>>155560344Reminder that Paramount is a WOKE company. Just because the Jewish owner supports Trump because he supports Israel doesn’t change that.Paramount made Woke Gay BLM shows. Even put a gay crossdressing trans Klingon in Star Trek.Leftists/Marxists who think Paramount is going to be making pro-Nazi media and outlaw blacks and gays are retarded.
>>155562035If we get three Looney Tunes movies a year, it'll be worth it.
>>155562715Yes, it's exactly like that, except it's going to go on forever. Or at least until they run out of poor people. Then the rich will just torture each other, until there's only one person left, who will torture him or herself to death too. Then that will be it. History will be over, humanity's grand destiny will be fulfilled, and the Earth will be nothing more than a monument to pointless sadism. That's what everything has been leading up to, from the Big Bang itself. That is the only reason our universe exists.
>>155562634More like Warner got fucked with that acquisition from AOL. Imagine blow up 180 billion dollars and end up losing 100 billion at the next year.
>>155561032Anon, just let it go... CAUSE IT'S TIME WE TOOK MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS! No more soi fan comics, time to get real.
>>155562035Anon. That's fucking nothing for companies of these sizes.. unless of course they, y'know, decide to release a series of massive tentpoles instead of budgeting to plan for smaller to mid budget films that could still reach a theatrical level>>155561570>>155561685CNN is important for no other reason than being the bargaining tool that they leveraged to get Trump to pick them over Netflix.Paramount-Skydance was similar. It wasn't nearly as big but you can tell Larry asked his son to ensure CBS got fucking shanked.In general. A golden rule is the FTC is the most compromised kneecapped government body in America, but in this case, you do have to acknowledge the preferential treatment based on politics.
>>155562895>In general. A golden rule is the FTC is the most compromised kneecapped government body in America, but in this case, you do have to acknowledge the preferential treatment based on politics.And yet, they let Disney merge with Fox with zero issue.
>>155561570>>155561303>>155562634I hate retards who speak on entertainment news without following it. WB was a house flipping project for Discovery. They came in reduced the debt, cut the fat, took a shit ton of write offs, licensed everything they could(Tubi/Amazon/Hulu) and made only projects they thought would be profitable. They are way healthier than Paramount, but after having 2025 be there best year ever Netflix and Paramount wanted to grab them before they got more expensive. Why do you think they are fighting over it? I hate dunning kruger dumbasses.>>155561685 This guy here is correct
>>155562913>WB was a house flipping project for Discovery.Exactly and in the end of a "house flipping", you sell the house.
>>155562906Anon, that's not an "and yet." That's a "most compromised group in America".The reason we have to acknowledge preferential treatment here is because both Netflix and Paramount went directly to Donald to negotiate on how to bypass regulations and he had a clear favorite.
>>155562913>cut the fatThat's the problem, the fat that was cut included the stuff /co/ talks about (not DC comics, Cartoon Network and Warner Bros cartoons)
>>155562913>>155561685We should be clear about one thing.The "retardedly good for shareholders" part is that is to cash the fuck out and dump the shares to make a boatload right before the deal is made.This is why Zaslav was so fucking averse to it. There are devils in the details and it's not because he cares about the workers or the quality of the films. When it comes to a guy like him, the only thing they like more than money is taking credit.Being the guy who balanced the books as well as he did? Something about watching Ellison, who he'd already been spatting with, walk in and instantly fuck it all up is tooth grindingly annoying.
>>155562957So this is just about Netflix getting CNN? I thought so.>Bypass regulationsDisney bought Fox. Clearly it wasn't a political thing.
He won biggly.
>>155560344Who is this "We" you speak of?
>>155562381I'm guessing that they have a thing against the Ellisons since they're largely a ally to Trump. I believe there's more to that story than what we assume.
>>155563030The FCC asked a restructure from Fox before approve the merge and they comply. In the case of WB and Paramount, it didn't asked anything. The California and other states lawsuit was after the FCC already approved the merge (faster than the Disney-Fox one).
Why do people say that Paramount is anti-woke when current Star Trek and Avatar are woke af?
>>155563131Those were made before Shari Redstone sold it to the Ellison's, technically the Redstone influence hasn't been eradicated yet
>>155562184NTA, but stop being an ESL.
>>155561322Don't listen to /co/; a majority of the people posting here have no financial sense or understanding. These are the same people that claimed Disney was going to go bankrupt and be forced to sell off everything (despite not understanding how massive companies operate). There aren't any consequences to this. It's a media company buying another media company. Every company operates on massive debt, that's not an issue in the slightest. It's good for Paramount because it gives them more items for streaming and ownership of more IPs, which allows for more licensing, etc. Is the debt plausible to pay? Absolutely. It's only $47B between the 2 companies. $47B is a drop in the bucket for what they actually make.
>>155563078>In the case of WB and Paramount, it didn't asked anything.Not true. The Saudi investors (yes, Saudis were/are involved) lost all their voting power. Nobody seems to point out that a bunch of middle eastern countries are about to own almost half of Warner Bros after this deal while having ZERO control over what happens with the company.
>>155562760No companies in the United States should support Israel, woke or not. Quite frankly, if you removed Israel supporters from all positions of power, the woke shit would go away since the goal of it is to divide Americans while Israel steals their wealth.
>>155561814Spoken like a faggot bit actually following the news Netflix only wanted Warner Bros studio and the entire back catalog, DC and the IPs and Zazlav keeps Discovery and CNN.Paramount wanted everything but especially CNNZazlav could have ended things day one of the hostile takeover by selling CNN to Paramount for a buck. But he needs CNN to shill for the DNC come 2026 and 2028. So he didn't and got hostile took over
>>155563078More importantly, Netflix's offer involved spinning CNN off along with all the other cable channels to begin with.>>155563213No. Anon. There's an acceptable debt to profit ratio that this surpasses and it involves both already being in debt.The combined existing debt of the two is already about 95 billion.Also where the fuck did you hear that 47 billion is nothing to these two? 47 billion is worth 3 Paramounts and half a WB by their actual evaluated worth.
>>155561833Your really think 3 successful films a year make up for 20 failures in the same year? For every Barbie movie theres 10 He-mans
>>155563213>It's only $47B between the 2 companiesIt’s 80+ billion debt after the loans for the acquisition, I have seen up to 87 billion thrown around. The 47 number is equity financing for the remainder of the acquisition.Warner did extreme struggles to get their debt down 20 billion, this company cannot simply survive on close to 90 billion in debt
>>155563371>He-manThat was Amazon, not Warner. At least use real examples like Supergirl.
>>155563348>>155563422Before the merger, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have about $47 billion in debt between them. After the merger, that debt is expected to be around $79 billion because Paramount is taking on more debt to pay for the deal. Paramount has already laid out a roadmap for the merger and what they expect the new company to make, including around $69 billion a year in revenue, about $18 billion in EBITDA, and more than $10 billion a year in free cash flow by 2030.So yeah, the new company would be heavily leveraged at first, but Paramount's plan is to use the huge amount of money the combined company makes to slowly bring that debt down. They don't have to pay all $79 billion off right away. If the company keeps growing its earnings and paying down debt, the leverage will get lower and the debt will become a smaller part of the overall business. Basically, they are taking on a lot of debt now with the expectation that the bigger combined company will generate enough money to handle it and eventually reduce it.
>>155562381Who said the Disney Fox merger was fine? Plenty of people were against it for the same reasons, plenty of people were against the Microsoft Activision merger too, this shit sucks all around.
This makes libs seethe so it's good
>>155563753It actually doesn't suck. People don't realize that when a company gets this massive, it often doesn't have the resources to focus on what media people want, so it leaves gaps for small time players to fill that space and become the new big time thing.
How will this affect (me)?
>>155560344Paramount if going to unload all their debt into Warner Bros. whenever they attempt to sell Warner Bros.
>>155563753>Who said the Disney Fox merger was fine?The people supporting the WB/Paramount merger
>>155562381did Disney already have news channels and sports channels?if not, then i can see why they let the merger go through.
>>155563910With this warner bros technically dosnt exist anymore this is just like fox which dosnt exist anymore and is now just a mere label for disney so they wont be able to sell it back cause the company as a separate business is dead
>Doomed failing company being sold to bad company instead of another bad company has /co/ in shambles.Were people REALLY expecting a good outcome any way this went?
These two shitheads have tarnished the name of David. In a generation it will be incongruous with names like Osama, Napoleon, Adolf and Lucifer.
I hate Commiefornia so much it's unreal.
>>155565123>incongruous - lacking congruity: such as a : not harmonious : incompatible incongruous colors b : not conforming
>>155565123What about Benjamin?
>>155565172I was trying to do congruous but mixed that up with inseparable. >>155565185Also very likely!
>>155561295Good, the poor aren't very useful for anything else.
>>155560344>Great, now NOTHING is gonna get made!That's already the fucking case, you can probably count on one hand how many original cartoons from these companies have come out in the last few years.>Mass layoffs are incomingAlready been happening, industry people have been chronically unemployed for most of this decade as well.Let them each other until there's nothing left, good riddance.
>post prime corporations merging to get a fraction of a market share of the big streaming dawgs>/co/ freaks out jonkler style
>>155565613Paramount and Warner have a disproportional amount of /co/ shit they are into
>>155560991seethe faggot
So is there any possible hope left that everything crashes and burns?
>>155561143Yet
>>155563729They're out of their minds. lmaoDisney need an exceptional year to reach 12 billion in profits.Also the debt of WB was 32 billions. Paramount here is the one over leverage themselves as asking for a loan of 50 billions.
>>155565771Cause no one cares about that shit. It's too old to nostalgiabait
At this point, I just want to see both burn to the ground
>>155565819This is part of the burning to the ground process so enjoy
>>155560868lmao
>>155565805I bet they will do 2SD/SSSS since that airs on MeTv Toons
>>155562035If that means more Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry then good it's fine for me.
>>155560344>We are so fucked anons.How? Don't tell me you watched any of their garbage.
>>155565867In a way, they still are>Competing for eyeballs against free shit like YouTube and Tiktok>And then there's everyone else in Big media
>>155560344>Woke stuff will be trimmed down but not completely go away. >Paramount will most likely shut down CN and AS and merge them with Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. >Woke artists are gonna have to actually make content and not therapy slop mouthpieces. >Ai will be used on most projects to cut costs of the merger. I'm kinda just 50/50 on it.
>>155562113Yes but I hate them all equally
>>155565780They're not really. Plenty of consumers love the WB brand and will totally be all over it for years to come if Paramount manages things right. They've had plenty of good shows on P+ and if they can get right people in key positions over franchises (Blade Runner, Matrix, DC properties, Harry Potter, LoTR, etc).Then you have animation with Adult Swim/Toonami, bring in the Nickelodeon stuff, get there gaming divisions actually producing worthwhile content, etc, and pull publishing rights from IDW/Dark Horse to DC. Easy for all the pieces to fall into place, honestly. But it's a wait and see type situation: They'll either become a juggernaut or flop.
how is saudi arabia going to still be able to afford this? all their money comes from oil...
>>155561851I forgot about these two. I have watched them in like 10 years or something. Do you really enjoy watching such negativity all the time?
>>155565999>Plenty of consumers love the WBWhy you lie on the internet? People love one specific part of WB, not the whole company as a whole. That is why they never could be Disney. Also the guy in charge of all would be the nepohired son of Ellison. The whole thing looks to be equally disastrous as the AOL acquisition.
>>155566050For the past 18 months the whole market has been "only good can happen". That applies to the Saudis. Nobody really believes that MBS is really fucked up by the Houtis and Iran, otherwise the USA would be doing everything in their reach to stop the eventual oil shock.
>>155566176>people don't love DC Comics>people don't love Lord Of The Rings>people don't love Harry Potter>people don't love The Matrix>people don't love Blade Runner>people don't love Beetlejuice>people don't love Dune>people don't love Game of Thrones>Please also ignore Black Christmas, Evil Dead, Exorcist, Final Destination, Friday the 13th, Gremlins, It, Lost Boys, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Mad Max, The Shining, Twilight Zone, Rocky, or any of the other franchises that WB controls through subsidiaries. >Also ignore anything from CN and Adult Swim. Don't even mention Toonami (which still has weekly threads on /co/).>Also just ignore the fact that WB has 12,500 feature films and 2,400 television programs, totaling over 150,000 individual episodes.Do you see how ridiculous you fucking sound? Warner sits on a shit ton of properties.
>>155566209>For the past 18 months the whole market has been "only good can happen".LET NO BAD HAPPEN!!
>>155560478I don't want them to sell to either. I want healthy competition in the free market. Not a single megacorp that controls everything we watch.
>>155560344>An editorial board to assure the independence of CNN and CBS newsI see. And what consequences are there if Paramount says "lol never mind" post-merger? Through what mechanism are those consequences enforced?Because corporations have nobproblem throwing out lies and empty promises to get what they want.
>>155562711>...Obi he doesn't sound like a good friend at all.
lol i knew newsom would cave like a cuck
Is it true that Nickelodeon outright cancels cartoons if it doesn't get Spongebob's ratings and if they're story-driven and manage to get to tell the rest of its story before it dies, Nick will sabotage them by airing episodes out of order, give them no advertising and having them air on nicktoons?
>>155561072Yeah, I wouldn't say I like this outcome but I think almost any buyer is better than Netflix.Netflix has almost zero interest in anything old, and less than zero interest in physical media. They would have done with the Warners library what Disney is doing with the enormous Fox library of film and TV, i.e. absolutely nothing. Paramount is at least willing to license their old stuff to Criterion and the like.
>>155561003just wait a couple years and all the cartoon archives in america are gonna be destroyed and whatever is physical is gonna be scanned into ai like they are doing with books right now
Ready for Teen Titans Academy?
>>155564050They did, that's why they had to sell off the RSNs as part of the deal and didn't get Fox Sports or Fox News
>>155566288They love a part of WB, not the whole thing. Seems you rushed to answer without reading properly. Just in that example GOT fans (the ones in denial) actively deride Tolkien's work and thing the Middle Earth is silly and childish.
lmk when this inevitably fucking fails and they have to sell ALL their shit so I'm able to buy the Powerpuff Girls and make officially-made porn with them
>>155561093Iirc its been there long before this merger was even considered
>>155567354i'm pretty sure when the world inevitably implodes in 10 years and all these companies are gone copyright law won't matter anymore anon
>>155562266Name 2 times it happened in the last 20 years.
>>155560991I cannot wait for the Nick Twitter account to put out a post of SpongeBob drawn in CN styles, and they WILL draw him as a Powerpuff Girl, mark my fucking words.
>>155561097If they release a complete series boxset of Rocko that has all the episodes uncut...Well I'm not gonna say it'll make this merger worth it (NOTHING will make this merger worth it, save for perhaps Paramount losing so much money from incurring WB's debt that the Ellisons engage in a suicide pact), but it would be neat.
>>155560868I can only hope the curse works like Cheap Trick and kills Zaslav during the transfer process.
>>155567303it's the reverse, Star Trek desperately needs HBO writers, DC doesn't need nuTrek writers
>>155560478Right winger here, I didn't want a legendary film studio being sold to two kikes and a bunch of sangniggers nor did i want them sold the leftist trannies that run NetflixI wanted WB and Universal to merge if WB was going to merge
>>155561223CBS still does crybaby anti-ICE stories even after Beri Weiss took over, but the pro-Israel stories have shot up massively though.
This is the most reddit-tier thread full of seething and crying I've ever seen. It's hilarious.
>>155561570>Warner Bros wants to sell itself because it isn't sustainable.WB had no interest in selling until multiple companies made an offer and they were forced to sell.They had an entire plan ironed out.
>>155562035>>155562422>>155562066>>155562769>>155562895>>155565945They won't make 30 movies btw.They don't have the capital to make 30 movies and even if you combined both the WB and Paramount upcoming slates, you can't get 30 movies.Also, this won't be enforced.
>>155564654Don't even bother, the /co/ is filled with blatantly pedophilic crybabies.
>>155567331>GOT fans (the ones in denial) actively deride Tolkien's work and thing the Middle Earth is silly and childish.What? Why?
>>155562184>>155561771>>155560492Curious question, genuinely; did people ever distinct Jews from Zionists prior to 2025? Before that, pretty sure I heard everyone just treat them interchangeably. Saying "Zionist" seems to be new cope as a way to not say you hate Jews.
>>155560344Yeah, we're FUCKED fucked.The California Attorney General was going to stop it, but Newsom stepped in because he loves Billionaires. The other Attorney Generals folded because without California on their side they figured they couldn't win. So there you go, Newsom gave us a media monopoly so heavily levered the whole thing can't possibly do anything but implode.
>>155568078October 7th pretty much, so two years prior.
>>155568126>This is Newsom's faultBut I thought Newsom was the good guy!? What the hell!?
>>155568179>October 7thAh, so it's still a very recent thing regardless.
>>155561149Not without dealing with outside forces, namely Disney for the 1967 Fantastic Four cartoon, theres still a few 60s Hanna Barbera shows left.What people really want is the 90s Spielberg cartoons on Blu-Ray.>>155562760That was before David Ellison bought the company, and David Ellison isn't Jewish.>>155567945They're including direct to video/streaming movies.>>155565123Other way around, these two angels have saved the name of David. In a generation it will be incongruous with names like Osamu, Shigeru, Hideaki, Toshihiko and Hayao.
>>155568181>>155568126Newsom is, and always has been, a worthless cuck. Anyway, enjoy your new Saudi-controlled Cartoon Network. You'll be able to tell the Powerpuff Girls apart only by what color burka they wear.
>>155568253oh nonot my kiddieslop
>>155568181No he's buddybuddy with all the right wing grifters on his podcast
>>155561851These two still exist? I thought they'd have faded away by now like a lot of the other guys who made their accounts around Disney Starwars.
>>155568253NHK-controlled Cartoon Network, not Saudi-controlled Cartoon Network.Maybe this way Toei can get Demarco into shape and make a reboot of Powerpuff Girls Z as a result.
>>155568230>David EllisonHe is irrelevant, he is doing the biding of his daddy: Larry Ellison how is actually Jewish.
>>155568380How come Larry is jewish but David isn't?
>>155568181Newsom is unfettered political ambition in a skin suit, and fits snugly into Billionaires' pockets. He opposed the billionaire tax in California until he got too much heat, and he PUT heat on the AG to get this deal done in return for a (shitty) promise to have some movies made in California, because Billionaires told him to jump and he just needed to know how high.Absolute insanity. Nevermind the whole "half of all News media owned by one family" bit, there's so much goddamn debt rolled into this it's doomed from the getgo to result in nothing but a massive downturn for media in general. The only ones that'll be walking away from this smiling are the assholes that stay rich no matter what happens.
>>155568253The Saudis have been buying their way into the fighting game community and if anything they've reduced the amount of bullshit censorship. Oil sheiks like ass and titties just as much as the next guy, I guess.
>>155568380>>155568388Larry Ellison isn't Jewish.>>155568419The Saudis have been hands off with SNK.
>>155568253>>155568264>>155568395WEIRD, I remember Gavin Newsom being pretty well liked and popular for years, even just a couple months ago. Any criticism made towards him would have made you been labelled as an evil idiot.
>>155568455As a Californian I've only ever heard scorn for him since 2020 when I started talking to old people.
>>155568476reddit acted like he was going to singlehandedly save California and would make a great president. Been seeing nothing but praise for him for years. But maybe that's just from people who don't actually live in California, lol
>>155568430>His mother, Florence Spellman, is Jewish.[6][7]
>>155568494Reddit is fake news, all actual Californians like me hate his guts, we signed a petition to recall him but then he rigged the recall vote. Karen bass rigged the recent mayoral elections against Spencer Pratt. All California elections are rigged and fake. The same 4 families have ruled California since it became a state. All support of Newsom you see online is inorganic fake shillwork
>>155568549The 4 families that run California like feudal lords are the Browns, the Newsoms, the Pelosis, and the Gettys. Gavin Newsom himself was adopted and sponsored by the Gettys. The movie Chinatown is basically all real. Our elections are rigged. CA voted 70-30 AGAINST gay marriage then a 9th circuit judge overturned the will of the people. We have no democracy here.
>>155568569So you are telling me you guys aren't as progressive as the internet makes you seem?
>>155568573NTA but I live near a lot of Mexicans and they are madly racist and religious.
>>155568542No she isn't.
I’m gonna say it, Fanboy and Chum-Chum, Sanjay and Craig, and Breadwinners together caused a domino effect that resulted in Paramount and Nickelodeon’s downfall leading them to be owned by David Ellison.
>>155568253That would still be an improvement over the last reboot.
>>155568573Basically all the things you hear Texas does to keep the state as deep red as it is, Cali does to keep blue.
>>155560478This. Both sides are ran by child-diddling Jews. Just one of them aligned with your specific political spectrum.
>>155568253has there even been an incident where muslim jew investors invested in an entertainment company and it just became muslim?
>>155560344Since the merger is happening, guess that means my company will be able to buy this after all.So what should I do with it?
>>155560344This is holy good news! As Paramount is owned by our Lord and Saviour Donald Duck Trump all the highly satanic filth will be scrubbed off from CN
>>155569408Kill yourself you larping niggerfaggot
>>155567331This is literally not a thing. Tolkien fanboys are the ones who have a one sided rivalry with George R.R. Martin because he lightly criticized the worldbuilding of Gondor in an interview (where he also said he liked tolkien) to demonstrate how his approach to fantasy differs. Michael Moorcock, Philip Pullman and Alan Moore all hate tolkien way more than Martin.
>>155568078Yes they did. My source is the lake dredge onion video where the guy appraises Zionist literature.
>>155562913Zaslav ruined warner bros so seeing him get fucked over by this deal is the only catharsis i have from this shit merger
>>155560478People like you are why i dont believe in democracy anymore. Anyone witch stupid as shit ideologies like you shouldn't be allowed to have voting privileges
>>155569398No one is going to make this shit into a TV show. Give it up, you loli-loving freak!
every time there's a merger, virtually every single thing currently in production gets shitcanned, because they need a quick tax writeoff bump, and they don't want to bother vetting everything for the new regime's far right agenda. this will be like every writer's strike, times five. If you like tv, sucks for you.>>155561244>how does this effect my life?let me outline what the future is going to be now.you will get maybe 2 new shows a year, total, because all new greenlights will need about 40 different sign-offs to get anywhere, and will be ran through a dozen different executive boards to maximize their possible income value, the rest will all be made just to be cancelled a month from premiere for maximum tax writeoffs.every single good writer, actor, musician, etc will now get all their work fucked with or buried forever, or just quit altogether because nobody will fund even guaranteed hits from emmy winners.everything else will be remakes, sequels, and spin-offs. If, by some insane miracle, anything gets a second season, since it only gets it after they crunch the premiere numbers, you'll likely have to wait 2-5 years between seasons, and each will be extremely cheap and 6-8 episodes maximum and binge-dumped with zero advertisement. Don't forget, they'll all have to get by a gauntlet of executives to wring out anything that could possibly be problematic to the regime.if you like watching tv shows or cartoons, just be prepared to never see any of them again.
>>155566288Rat cucks always loved to downplay WB out of spite, now the rat is bleeding money faster than the lusitania and titanic altogether, while WB and Paramount are pulling a USS Enterprise in WW2.
will i be able to watch paramount stuff on hbo max
>>155569449Moore is a commienietchzeian old fuck and he never hid that.He just hates everything.
>>155570172yeah for like $45 a month, because that's all there is and you'll have no other choice lol
>>155568455Long story short. Young left wing dems are still mad at the centrist pro-Israel "look we support abortion rights" slant that dems took in 2024 when an anti-israel "restoring collective bargaining and unions" could have been a political victory ticket.Because of that. Newsom's been hit with that look in on establishment Democrats and a big kicker is that younger democrats are looking in on actual economic policies. This got Newsom labeled a "diet Republican", sorta just part of that whole thing where the party has entered a civil war like the Republicans did in 2016
>>155570189fuck
>>155570129ThisExceot you forgot that rather than getting new shows, all your favorite cartoons will have their corpses rolled out for quick memberberry social media posts."ParamountHBO Maxplus! Home of all your CHILDHOOD FAVES! We will never greenlight new shows, but look! Spongebob and Rocko having Thanksgiving with the Powerpuff Girls and Adventure Time!"
>>155560991>kill the channelswhat is there to kill
>>155567303What the fuck is this? It looks like your average CW show from the 2010's, but with a random Klingon thrown in to make it look Star Trek-related.
>>155560503Just the one, actually. It's selling part of itself to another part of itself to make number go up. The faster the number goes up, the more children it gets to rape.
I want to see Looney Tunes 2028 still happen before everything is canned. Would make for a proper final send off for the franchise just before the 100th and right after WB stops existing If the last Looney Tunes project is Coyote vs Acme that is alright too
>>155560344Can I get a QRD or TLDR?
>>155569398Paramount will probably make it their next Loud House. I mean if I was a Paramount executive I'd greenlight it. They basically have an entire catalog of pilots to choose from and they'd save money and due to how popular Mouthwash Madness is they'll probably pick it up for a season or two.
>>155567354Aged up Powerpuff Girls, right?RIGHT????
The only thing I'm worried about is what will happen to Warner Archive. Paramount doesn't give a tin poop about preservation of its own shit much less somebody else's.
>>155570372They'll probably just dump it on Paramount Plus with all of the Wildbrain stuff they host there.
>>155567331>>155566288NTA burIt's not that WB isn't a big company with IPs to rival Disney. It's that Disney is much better at making something "the brand" than WB has ever been.When you look at Tolkien, you think Tolkien as a brand. DC? DC as a brandLook at how quickly Disney absolutely fucking absorbed Star Wars, MARVEL, etc to the point we talk about them as "Disney" properties.They were in the theme parks, they got crossovers with various Disney shows.The second they got FOX, Simpsons became a primary offering.If it's not rated R, they put it in mouse ears to make sure it's part of your nostalgic Disney childhood that they obligate you to pass on to your children. This is literally their business strategy. You don't think of individual creators or artists, you remember what "Disney" gave you as a child and you go for it.But even the TV-MA stuff gets "haha we're owned by Disney which you now see as a massive disgusting corporate conglomerate but have a soft spot for whether you're willing to admit it or not because they made your childhood!"WB doesn't have that kind of unified branding. That was what I imagine Zaslav wanted out of stuff like Multiversus and Space Jam 2, but didn't know how to accomplish.Paramount tried it when they tried advertising streaming and creating kid centric Star Trek and adult animated star Trek but both have the same problem.Disney does it by gearing it all to a younger age demographic who becomes and older one. You can't do that shit with Goodfellas, Looney Tunes, edgy pg-13 Batman, Steven Universe and Clockwork Orange. Too buckshotted. Parents don't want their kids seeing certain characters.WB, especially back in the day, focused solely on making good movies, spread across demographics, you can't make meaningful crossover between the Music Man and the Terminator.That's what Ellison doesn't get. The brand of Disney is meticulously designed
>>155570129>you will get maybe 2 new shows a year,I find this preferable to to covid-era entertainment bloat where there was so much crap coming out all the time, none of it interesting.
>>155570539>It's that Disney is much better at making something "the brand" than WB has ever beenIt’s that Disney has its own resort parks while WB does not and just licenses their IPs outDisney parks constitute over 60% of the company’s entire income now. It is the only reason it has not been bought out by a larger company
>>155570539It doesn't help when WB had a stupid policy of any crossover resulting in licensing fees being paid to other divisions.On paper, it meant a "profit", even though it was just money moving around.In reality, it meant deep divisions between departments and bitter rivalries because if your department wasn't profitable, it would be axed.
>>155570555There's all sorts of WB IP displayed at Six Flags which has more locations than Disney.
>>155570621Yeah, but WB doesn't own Six Flags
>>155570659It's not that much of a distinction. They don't get money from ticket sales, but they do collect licensing fees and they keep their IP in the consciousness of the people who go there.
>>155569474Enjoy getting fucked in the ass by your globohomo overlords I guess.
>>155570621They get 4 million a year and then 12% of their character merchandise sales.Which you simply cannot compare to a company that owns everything and makes around 10 billion in income profit yearly
At least we can all agree that it's really funny how Netflix had the rug pulled out from under them after making a whole big flashy PR/ad campaign around their buyout before it could actually go through. What a bunch of smug cocksuckers.
>>155567289This right here sums it up for me as well. I want physical media and Netflix doesn't fucking care about it. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to release the 2 or 3 titles they finally allowed to be on bluray... and that was for their own IP's. They give zero fucks about the rest.Disney sits on The Simpsons for fucks sake. Fox media was shelved for spite.At least Paramount will be financially inclined to produce as much physical media for WB as they can manage.
>>155570539This is a massive double-edged sword though.If the public turns on an IP, you can just shelve it for a few years... but if they turn on "The Brand," there is little to no recourse. It's the difference between Harry Potter taking a hit for a year or two versus people just hating on Disney outright. WB can quietly shelve HP, but Disney can't shelve themselves
>>155570129Reminder that John K entered the industry to stop that shit and it shows we badly need another John K to make this nightmare end.Except not a groomer this time.>>155570209Not even that.>>155570539Not true, Warner Bros does have branding, and Warner Bros is much better at making something "the brand" than Disney has ever been.If it's not rated R, they put it in wabbit ears to make sure it's part of your nostalgic Warner Bros childhood that they obligate you to pass on to your children. This is literally their business strategy. You do think of individual creators and artists such as Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Frank Tashlin, Bob McKimson, Chuck Jones, Art Davis and Friz Freleng, you remember what "Warner Bros" gave you as a child and you go for it.Disney doesn't have that kind of unified branding (not since Eisner left the company). That was what I imagine Josh D'Amaro wanted out of stuff like Kingdom Hearts (after Kingdom Hearts 2) and Wish, but didn't know how to accomplish.Disney tried it when they tried advertising streaming and creating X-Men'97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man but both have the same problem.Warner Bros does it by gearing it all to a younger age demographic who becomes and older one. You can't do that shit with The Simpsons (which should've died out by season 8 anyway), Family Guy, King of the Hill, Futurama, Bob's Burgers and American Dad. Too buckshotted. Parents don't want their kids seeing certain characters.Disney, especially back in the day, focused solely on making good movies while treating everything else as a after thought, spread across demographics, you can't make meaningful crossover between Splash and Tron.That's what Ellison doesn't get. The brand of Warner Bros is meticulously designed.
>>155570555It doesn't matter, the brand is enough to carry them. That is something that WB had for like 5 minutes in the 90's when they are Time Warner. Then AOL buy them and butt fucked the whole company and culture forever. Like you can trace all their problems to that exactly years.
>>155571404>At least Paramount will be financially inclined to produce as much physical media for WB as they can manageWhy? Media collection is declining every year and manufacturing is fucked with the supply chains of the oil shock of the Iran war, plus the retarded tariffs of Trump. The best case scenario is putting some sort of digital archive for some old stuff.
>>155572019They are a money printer for doing nothing. They own the rights already and for a few cents for disc creation and a few dollars for residues/distribution logistics you can sell it for $40-$60Any added costs for restoration Warner Archive does can also be used for streaming and offset if the tv rights are sold to other services.If they don’t care something is only on stream it’s an easy revenue generator even if physical collectors are dwindling
>>155560344Man, this shit did not age well.
>>155571519Disney came very close to that danger in this decade. It was lucky for them that Inside Out 2, Deadpool and Wolverine, and Toy Story 5 did as well as they did, but this brings in the possible problem of relying on sequels
>>155572252They are not a money print because they are limited to the people that have a player device that is many, many times smaller that people with access to internet and a tablet or a phone. Also there is the fact of the convenience that people would choose always over.
>>155572561Sure, that's why physical media will never again sell like it did in the 2000s. You're not going to see a show get saved from cancellation because it was so popular on DVD like Family Guy.But people still do collect physical media and there's probably a slight upturn recently since 4K discs were introduced. If you make a movie you can get some extra money by releasing it on physical media, not enough to make a flop profitable, but an easy bonus. Netflix does not want that bonus and tries its best to keep things off physical media, because they want everyone on their service all the time.
>>155572561The point is there is no downside to keeping the small group around to make dvd releases unless you think your bottom line is only streaming like Netflix doesFinancially you cannot lose. The media already exists and you print in cheap dvds to sell at a premium. It just is not large enough a market anymore to pay off debts.It is the same why cable is still around even down it is eroding fast in viewership. It is a pure money maker
>>155571519>>155572558I would agree with that. Not a single film could release without being considered part of the joke for the 100th anniversary flop.The other issue is that even in the Zaslav years, no one really considered Warner the same level of dark corporate entity that they considered Disney. That Disney+ simpsons short infamously tried to show Disney as "in on the joke" of how evil the company has become and like everyone pointed out, it was weirdly tamer than the jabs at FOX back in the day.Even going back, if you remember what the Disney MARVEL buyout looked like, people were fucking terrified of the idea of how it would be managed
>>155562184The main reason Zionism is even a thing in the US is due to dispensationalist retards. Without these useful idiots, Zios would be fucked in the US.
>>155572618There is a difference between a company not being hellbent on destroy the physical market like Netflix and another more different into believe they are going to lead the resurgence of said collectors market. Warner already was one of the major players on keep physical releases and didn't move the needle.
>>155573502The flipside of this. Only 6 years later, after MARVEL became even more popular and people agreed disney's buyout didn't effect too too much."Marvel get x-men back" was at the forefront of the Fox buyout
>>155569360Not a single one.
It's hilarious how the story of WB is getting into one failed merger after another
>>155574917Are you saying WB is kind of a ho?
>>155575418No.
>>155574917This time it will be different.
>>155575436Yeah, it will be the death of it.
>>155575467No it will not, it will be the start of it.
>>155573947Nobody ever mentioned "resurgence," and it would be foolish to think that DVD/4k sales were about to skyrocket. I merely pointed out that there were 2 options for WB: Netflix buys it and kills all physical media sales because they expressly despise the format or Paramount buys it and continues pumping out product. One option supports physical media and the other doesn't. It's as simple as that.
>>155561851I checked their last video and they actually don't, they seem more to have warned calarfaggots that they were going into huge debt for a carrer that has zero future because of the streaming bubble during covid
>>155575553Warner Archive will like to have a word with you.
>>155570129>every time there's a merger, virtually every single thing currently in production gets shitcanned, because they need a quick tax writeoff bump, and they don't want to bother vetting everything for the new regime's far right agenda.Judging by WBA recent output that's not really a bad thing, I certainly don't support the Ellisons the stupid jews, however them canceling brain celling trash (TTG) or wokeslop (those Adventure Time spin-offs with dykes) is probably the only good thing that come out of thisFurthermore, with the sole exception of Ben 10, none of the other CN IPs are profitable as Nick's ones so they're for sure getting the short end of the stick
>>155570830That's embarrassing.
>>155575618The Ellisons are not Jewish, plus Adventure Time's ending got retconned.Also Powerpuff Girls is much more profitable then Ben 10.
>>155575722>The Ellisons are not JewishStop lying.
>>155575777Trips of truth.
>>155575598What point are you making? I said Netflix was a bad option because they would have shut down WB physical media operations like Warner Archive. I said I preferred Paramount because they would continue to support physical media like Warner Archive.
>>155575722>Ellisons aren't jewishWrong, They're>Adventure Time ending got retconnedNo only this isn't true, but they're even making a spin-off exclusively for the shitty dykes as we speak>PPG more profitable than Ben 10PPG is certainly big but by IP profit alone Ben 10 is the biggest one by a long shot.
>>155575944Stop being an ESL.
>>155575960>gets proven wrong >no rebuttal and proceeds to goalpost I accept your concession
>>155575777>>155575815Thats not real.>>155575944They are Not Jewish.The dykes got retconned because of massive complaints from billions of normies all over the world.PPG is much more profitable then Ben 10.
>>155576177Why are you so hellbent on denying he is Jewish?
>No mention of the games division just moviesFucking just make DC Rvals already, Marvel made over a billion from it. Put Harley, WW, Raven, Starfire etc in a bikini and they might be profitable again.
>>155568253>Saudi-controlled Cartoon Network. You'll be able to tell the Powerpuff Girls apart only by what color burka they wear.They got SNK a while ago, and this is the result.
>>155576296Shopped from an unrelated article.>>155577018They were hands off, art direction was 100% Japanese.
>>155560344This doesn't matter at all.
>>155560847Redditor
>>155560630Leftists are the new neo-Nazis.
>>155577298>They were hands off, art direction was 100% JapaneseYeah, that's the point of the anon.
>>155562078This. I hope you've all are ready for Superman to kneel before the Israeli flag in the next Superman movie.
>>155577919In the meantime, though, we could get some parting “fuck you’s” to the Ellisons and Israel. Any ideas?
>>155578371The Ellisons work for Nippon Kaigi, we will be alright.
>>155579036No, they’re Israel Firsters. That should disqualify any individual of any background from owning a major media company or holding office.
>>155570129>every time there's a merger, virtually every single thing currently in production gets shitcanned, because they need a quick tax writeoff bumpgood thing Nick and CN have nothing going on right now
>>155577298This is one of the most saddest bits on the board. On par with gwenschizo.
>>155579100No they are not, they despise both Israel and Palestine.>>155579221Not the case, The Saudis are hands off with SNK.
>>155579549>>155579036Dude this is literally one of the first answers when I googled 'Ellison Oracle support Israel'. Why are you so dedicated to gaslighting people that he isn't Israel First?
>>155579673That's Famicom, he's too retarded to argue with. And now that I've said his name he's going to deny that he exists and then accuse someone else of being him.
>>155579549You’re embarrassing yourself, anon.
The Ellison's will own everything. Anyone with a problem with that is going in the grinder
>>155579673AI made slop, not real.
>>155579819No it isn't.>>155580011No, you are.
>>155580316Kys famicunt
>>155580308>>155580316Hi Famicom
>>155575722When was the ending retconned, you lying retard?
Why even this board being a wasteland has such collection of schizos?
>>155580417>And if you think normies would turn on Disney due to theoretical scandals like ai? You are deluded.Kek that's another thing, normies already see animation made in the west as just for kids, I don't think they really care that much about who's behind the scenes wether it's AI or not, anti-AIfags are only a loud minority on twitter
>>155580486Schizos are easier to notice when boards die because there are less normal users to drown them out.
>>155560344Alright fags, I'm gonna need a QRD on why this is autist 9/11.
>>155580983Heckin paramount supports drump.
>>155560478You're right and the pseuds pretending otherwise are the real idots.
>>155581058But Disney buying Fox was also a terrible idea. TDS-inflicted people thinking Paramount buying WB is a bad idea, doesn't make it a good one either.
>>155580480Right after they got the complaints, they retconed it for the comics.>>155580564Tex Avery and Bob Clampett will like to have a word with you.
>>155581169Disney had no other option, it was that or never have the rights to X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Daredevil and keep snubbing them out of Marvel theme fighting game forever.Disney in the long run did the right thing.
>>155581615They already had the rights to Daredevil. And they would've inevitably ended up with the F4 rights back because Trank fucked shit up so bad for them with that film production. You don't know what you're talking about, do you
>>155581645Fox made the movie back in 2003, Fox had the rights with X-Men and The Fantastic Four.Also Sony fucked up Spider-Man just as bad if not worse and it didn't revert back to Disney.
>>155560344What am I in for when these two companies merge? I'm not going to buy it, you know.
