Too soon. Ellison’s Paramount is mounting a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers that may supersede this.
Is it weird that both options are horrific and dystopian?
I'd rather have Netflix own it than the Trumpists. But yeah, none of this is ideal. Warner should be independent just as MGM should be.
I mean, the Vegas Strip has always been disgusting...but the fact that (more than?) half of it is owned by Amazon now is absolutely insane to me. . .
No, I'd say you're having a normal, human reaction to this news.
can't help but feel like either way any side buying loses $ WBD is going out of business because they can't make $ off their mountain pile of IP's...why would it be any different for netflix or paramount. the 4-5 media companies already effectively have a monopoly between themselves via cooperation, the people who are gokng to give then $ already are/have. all they can do now is drive more people away by enshittifying further
