You might say they bought it for Peanuts...
Why would they pay $475M for goddamn Peanuts?
is there anyone under 50 years who cares about peanuts
>>220598675I assume it's clickbait, and the Peanuts share was just part of the holdings of a larger company.
>>220598675Maybe they just have that much money and were in a bidding war. Kind of like a gambler.
>>220598675Id argue merchandise alone for just Snoopy is worth more than that.
It appears this West Nile snatch over here don't know who Martin Luther King ishttps://youtu.be/VlpLI16mi2I?si=_xraMkFltZKXjFSv
>>220598719Nope, it's a 41% share in peanuts llc only that they already held a 39% stake in, it must be a profitable holding for them of they wouldn't want or need a controlling interest
there is no reality in which peanuts is worth half a billion
>>220598520Peppermint Patty was always a trans icon, and the little redheaded girl is a loud black now?
You guys have no idea how popular snoopyslop is overseas. There's an entire genre of retarded childless Japanese women that are completely obsessed with him.
>>220598675
>>220598520Always hated Peanuts. Everything about it is so drab and demoralizing, and there's basically never an actual joke to be found. You'd have to be lead-addled boomer to think a child with a psychiatry stand instead of a lemonade stand is even worth chuckling at.
>>220598675Merchandising
The nips love the nuts
>>220598520>sony>kinoI wouldn't hold your breath
>>220600127People liked it during its heyday for similar reasons GenX and early Millennials liked Calvin & Hobbes. It stood out in the comics section of newspapers because of its non-conventional characters and themes. It did something genuinely interesting with the medium, and succeeded, regardless of whether you find it bland by today's standards. It innovated a lot that's taken for granted, which is why it's generally every halfway-decent comic strip author's favourite comic strip, or among them. and inspired them to get into the genre.
>>220598675This is the same company that bought Bungie for $3.6b only for them to make a game for another $400m that has a few thousand people playing it. They're not smart.
>>220598520>You might say they bought it for Peanuts...MENTAL ASYLUM FOR OP
>>220600241>groundbreaking and challenged preconceived notions within the medium but doesn't hold up well in the modern dayReminds me of The Beatles and Gone with the Wind.
>>220598675Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money is made! Peanuts® the t-shirt! Peanuts® the coloring book! Peanuts® the lunch box! Peanuts® the breakfast cereal! Peanuts® the flame thrower!
>>220601603>The Beatles don't hold up.
>>220598675It’s fake money, just like all the money supposedly moved around in all Hollywood jewish deals
>>220598675>>220598701cause turbo boomers love the shit out of peanuts and will take their kids to see it. hell just the other day on the news they were asking some politician about the gerrymandering stuff and he made a charlie brown and lucy football reference. My grandma used to love it
>>220599388it was for 41% stake so peanuts isn't worth half a billion it's worth $1.16 billion
>>220601708They don't. I don't care for proto-boy band love songs, gay hippie pop songs, or retarded avant garde nonsense.
>>220598675Because despite your worthless ignorance, it makes a ridiculous amount of money annually. But well, you're retarded, so you probably can't even read this.
>>220598675>>220598701Japan is obsessed with Peanuts. It rivals Hello Kitty there.
>>220598520Makes total sense, everybody knows how popular The Little Rascals still are. And Lambchop, remember Lambchop? Boomer nostalgia still has a few bucks to squeeze out of it, surely.
>>220598520which characters will they retcon as homosexuals? which characters will they turn into trans freaks? which characters will they use to push feminism and other bullshit into our throats?
>>220603134>yfw the little red-haired trans girl
>>220598701Me. In a world full of jewish garbage, it's wholesome kino.
>>220603134Definitely Linus
>>220598520Peanuts is the gayest shit ever. There wasn't a single funny comic. Those holiday specials are impssible to sit through. What kind of empty-headed, npc mouth-breather must one be to like Charlie Brown?
Snoopy is HUGE in japan. One of the biggest known ips there.
Ah yes Peanuts, zoomers certainly love it, cash money franchise right there.
Who did Sony buy it from?
>>220603549>owned by sony nowWell, I'm sorry for your loss then.
