  1. @[email protected] I never had strong feelings about whether it was #Netflix or #Paramount that "won" the right to buy out #WarnerDiscovery (it's all the same to me, both will restrict access to Warner's catalog & require everyone to pay for it) but Netflix is looking pretty smart by getting paid $2.8 BILLION for losing.

    Just saying . . . 🤷‍♂️

  5. Just imagine being a creatively bankrupt CEO who destroys US$9.1 billion by trying to turn one of the world's largest media conglomerates into Netflix...

    (Source on that US$9.1 billion figure: variety.com/2024/tv/news/warne)

    ...And getting paid a US$50 million salary to do it.

    Because CEOs get paid based on merit. Apparently.

  10. So WarnerDiscovery now wants to merge with Paramount Global.

    Because apparently what the world needs now is even more media consolidation.

    This is more than just a merger between two big Hollywood studios. It's a merger between two conglomerates that themselves were created through the merger of big media conglomerates.

    Paramount Global came about through the merger of CBS and Viacom.

    Along with Paramount Pictures, it also owns CBS in the US, Channel Ten in Australia, and Channel Five in the UK.

    Oh, and also MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, VH1, Showtime, Comedy Central, Miramax Films, United International Pictures, Pop TV, and CMT, among many other assets.

    WarnerDiscovery was formed from the merger of Discovery Inc with WarnerMedia, which itself was formed by merging Time Inc with Warner Communications, and then Turner Broadcasting.

    Along with Warner Brothers, it owns CNN, DC Comics, The Oprah Winfrey Network, HBO, Cartoon Network, TBS, TNT, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment, and a lot more.

    And all that will be owned by one mega-corp if this deal goes through.

    Now whose interest would such a deal serve?

    Consumers? Creatives? Employees?

    Or just Wall Street...

    Ich bin noch gar nicht ganz durch damit. Aber der Artikel unterfüttert einige meiner Vermutungen über meinen neuen Lieblingsfeind mit Fakten: nytimes.com/2023/11/15/magazin

  17. CW: Long thread/3

    *Fables* is a #DCComics title; DC is division of the massive entertainment conglomerate #Warners, which is, in turn, part of the #WarnerDiscovery empire, a rapacious corporate behemoth whose screenwriters have been on strike for 137 days (and counting). DC is part of a comics duopoly; its rival, #Marvel, is a division of the #DisneyFox juggernaut, whose writers are *also* on strike.

  22. How many of you are also minded to ignore the new #Max streaming later this month because of the writers' strike?

    The timing certainly looks bad for #WarnerDiscovery, particularly as they mothball the #GoT franchise and suspend their relationship with the great David Simon.

    Mind you, I'm 💯 with the writers anyway.

  26. The #writers didn't decide #TheOwlHouse and #LeagueOfTheirOwn would end early with 3-4 episode miniature final seasons. #Disney and #Amazon did.

    The writers didn't cancel #Batgirl's release and #Batwoman on the #CW; and remove #CartoonNetwork archives from #HBOmax. #WarnerDiscovery's new owner did.

    The studios are the reason #Yellowjackets and #AbbottElementary season 3 will be late if the strike doesn't end soon, not the #WGA.

  35. Fuuuck this merger. BUT, I dont think #CartoonNetworkStudios is --dead--. But we might, MIGHT, be looking at a shadow of its former self. In a few years.

    But even then, we still have a chance for it to be doing ~some~ of what it does now. We have to believe in the people inside (that are left) to keep the spirit of the studio alive.
