If Blue and Dom were a part of the Justice League, Darkseid wouldn't stand a chance.

I watched the segment about this on the Campea show. If thats the case, I dont like it at all. Less diversity for sure when companies absorb others. However there was a good point made. Why hire Alan Horn? If the aim is to eventually just sell WB Discovery off Hey Lord Death Man you would be a perfect devil's advocate lol

Why hire Alan Horn? If the aim is to eventually just sell WB Discovery off Hey Lord Death Man you would be a perfect devil's advocate lol The consolidations don't hurt variety. That's a myth. When Disney realized they had no mechanism to showcase adult-themed content, they bought Fox. Other than a name change, Fox didn't stop making movies, and Disney can now produce a type of content that they couldn't create without Fox. Diversity is still present. Besides creating an asymmetrical competitive landscape, Disney's power-up has not hurt the diversity of films that can be made. If studios keep making family-friendly superhero films, it's because we told them - with our wallets - that's what we want to see. The entertainment and media businesses, backed by newer, more advanced technology, are becoming larger and more sophisticated. No one studio in the pre-consolation landscape could do it all --- video games, animation, live action, streaming, merchandising, licensing, etc. You buy what you need in business, shore up the holes in your offerings, and ensure that you can do it all because that's what consumers want. Do you want to pay for HBO, HBO Max, Peacock+, Discovery+, and whatever else they can sell you for $20 monthly separatley? Or, would you prefer a single service with everything you might be in the mood to see at any given time for $20 a month combined? If you were born in or around the mid-20th century - that question likely doesn't even make sense to you. We are the past because we're still caught in a haze of brand sanctity and physical media ownership. Media businesses are just scaling up. Instead of studios competing for your dollars at a theater, media conglomerates will take their place and do the same across every conceivable entertainment verticle. Picture the mid-21st century season pass; $100 a month buys your cloud gaming, streaming, theater tickets, and live TV --- capitalism in its final form. It a shame that the consolidations produce so much waste and human collateral damage. Hopefully, in a short while, it will open ore opportunities than it takes. Those two pieces in the Reporter were an eye-opener. Zaslov is trying to get WB sold. He's not planning to build a bigger, better DC. He just green-lit a sequel to Constantine. Let that sink in. A cult film barely about a "superhero" - got savaged by the critics and underperformed at the box office. Oh, Davey.

Why bother taking risks with indie/other movies when the audience has already decided with their wallets? Also look at politics that wasnt decided from a profit angle. Too much power/control is never good. It also creates monopolies. They can charge whatever they want

Lord Death Man hmm Grace and her "sources" seem to think the sale of WB to Universal is not a matter of if but when Thanks for sharing; this is the first video from Grace that I've watched to the end in a while. She is putting it all on the line, saying WB will definitely be sold to Universal. Good for her, but I think there could also be other potential buyers. If Universal does buy WB, she'll do what she usually does, claiming she knew it all along. If the sale doesn't go through, she'll be like, I also knew this would happen. Her crystal ball is flawless because it predicts both outcomes in a two-possibility forecast. I agree that Zaslov is prepping for a selloff, but to whom is still anyone's guess. Universal is a likely contender, but Discovery could break up the Warner empire and sell it for parts too. As much as people salivate over WB's mostly gritty take on DC properties, I think DC would be better off with a new owner and a hard restart.
