Good one.

And Velma is too.
too late on that one
I saw that one, and then stopped. Really sad because the animation style was fun.
This is a perfect example of our entire economy…..like 5 mega corporations control the entirety of every industry out there, and those 5 mega corporations all have BlackRock influencing major decisions because they’re the top investor…..so we basically have one gigantic hydra of J’ish controlled corporations running our economy, and they’re working with each other to push certain anti-White agendas, to price set their goods, to harm Americans in numerous ways and our j’w ass government does fuck all to stop it because it’s a big J’w club and you ain’t in it.
Blackrock controls 8% of Netflix stock, Vanguard 9%, Fidelity 5%, State Street 4%. You'll find similar companies/numbers at WBD.
“Bros” is white male toxicity, Netflix will change it to Warner BIPOCs
Warner Siblings.
Trans-Inclusive Polycule
Warner They/Thems
Wait... Netflix is big enough to buy Warner Bros? I would have thought it was the other way around.
At one point it was the other way around. Not today I guess. The mighty truly have fallen.
Crazy how it all started by mailing (often broken) DVDs in paper envelopes to subscribers.
GameFly really dropped the ball
Hell, Blockbuster dropped the ball. They turned away the Netflix founder's offer to buy them out for... goddamn only $50 million?
The Berenstein timeline must be lit
It's the timeline where smartphones and streaming never took off, and we're all walking around with minidisk players.
😭😭😭😭
i want to go back
My family has a saying that goes Start at Shit and Build Up. It works all the time and drives people nuts
WB wiped out most of the value of the company by burying themselves in debt.
To my memory, WB is something like $30 billion in the hole to begin with, and were desperate to fix that. Netflix must have some very deep pockets to want to bring that into their accounting.
Part of the 80billy is probably to pay off debts
Money isn't real. Once you understand that, you can understand how they make these deals.
They’re enormous for an entertainment company, it’s quite impressive to have built it all up over such a relatively short period of time.
This is only happening because WB is the debt slave of everyone. Time dumped debt onto them then sold. AOL dumped debt onto them and sold. AT&T dumped debt onto them and sold. Same thing is happening with Discovery now.
They call this "capitalism" which it should have been stopped with Time in the 90's. It's like usury on steroids.
Yeah, it's not being helped by bad movies.
Well...that was an upset
I'd have thought the Saudis would buy it but Netflix? That must be a bit galling that a streaming service bought out an Hollywood studio.
However new issue, will it remain woke? If Netflix suddenly has OLD Looney toons on their service, we have a shot!
Duh. It's not like they switched out their board for a conservative board lol
I'm wondering about all the Scooby Doo that was everywhere and suddenly no where. Also, Netflix has DC, which means it will go even further woke.
Gay Superman. jew Batman. Non-Binary Wonder Woman.
Trump wanted Paramount/CBS to buy it, but Netflix it is. Apparently this is just for the movie studios, Max, HBO, and the IP (the Cartoon Network shows, DC, the Game of Thrones license, etc)
The actual channels (CNN, TBS, TNT, etc) are getting spun off into a separate company.
If you’re a wrestling fan, you know by now that Monday Night Raw is on Netflix worldwide and that AEW is on TNT and TBS. I assume that AEW will have its deal honored until it expires in 2027 and then will have to go look elsewhere, as TKO/WWE will not let Netflix renew AEW in the slightest.
It's a good move for Netflix because Max is the channel I watch the most. If they kept the Scooby Doo shows, I would have watched more.
No, Netflix isn't buying the TV channels so AEW will make a deal with whoever ends up buying that- Netflix never wanted them.
It will have nothing to do with Netflix/WWE as it will be a completely separate company like it was before.
I said it was going to Universal, and was wrong. I apologize for that.
these franchises were worthless after the diversification, now they're gonna be even worthlesser
good job nigflix, you're going to LOSE even more money
