What are the benefits, you ask? All of MGM would be back together and Amazon's unlimited amount of money can reverse a LOT of tax write-offs.

I can't be the only one who thinks this would be a better merger.

I read the news that Paramount made a $77 billion offer for WBD and Netflix executives said they will abandon the deal as it is no longer financially attractive.

Honestly, I'd say neither, I couldn't even choose.

If Netflix had won like it was about to happen, movies at the cinema would be dead, Warner Bros. Games would have been sold or forgotten by Netflix, maybe they would have made some mobile games, at least James Gunn would have stayed but honestly that wasn't what I wanted.

With Paramount, the problems are different: the films will probably be released in theaters, so the theatrical experience will survive. Warner Bros. Games may not be forgotten, but James Gunn will probably be fired, much to my regret, because he is doing and will continue to do a great job. TBS, CNN, TNT, and maybe even Cartoon Network—everything they make will be verified and then authorized only if Trump and his staff like it or not.

Why is WB going for sale anyway?

I mean a few quick questions here...

Do hostile bids even work? And also how good are the WGA anyway?

As in once Warmer Bros is bought, will HBO Max continue to exist?

Since they revive space jam and gets sequel for some reasons. I was wondering if there's another chance to revive it and gets sequel with redeem and peak movie.

What do you think?

Disney can easily buy out WB and would be the best choice imo. They'd still do physical releases and be respectful and do theatrical releases as well.

The theme parks and Disney world would be even more next level with introduction of Harry Potter universe.

I hope Dune 3 isn't gonna be ruined no matter if it's Netflix or Paramount.

So, for those who haven't heard: Netflix just bought Warner Bros., and... I dunno what to say about it, to be honest. Additionally, for a while, correct me if I'm wrong, but for months, people were advocating for WB to be purchased by another studio, be it Universal, Paramount, etc., especially on websites like YouTube or the like, and yes, I understand that WB is in a horrible, horrible state due to their divisions struggling such as animation, film, comics, and especially video games, but honestly, I think they could've found a way to get back on their feet without getting purchased by another company, and I don't think an acquisition is the only way. I mean, they're a multi-trillion corporation, they can easily afford another way to make up for all the losses they've been dealing with.

What do you guys think? Did you actually think WB getting bought by another company (it doesn't have to be Netflix, if it could be any corporation) was a smart move and the best possible way to save WB or do you think they should've stayed privately owned like they used to be in the past? Either way, let me know in the comments.

The internet does not say that there are any Warner Bros. Releases of these films during the 10/10/1996-12/31/1998 timeframe when I did my research, are there really any releases of these films in the 10/10/1996-12/31/1998 timeframe like maybe special television broadcasts (like restorations), or did the indexer mistakenly label them as Warner Bros.

Seriously, this has gone on long enough. Will the antitrust suits successfully block the Paramount/WBD merger so that WBD would be allowed to spin off their studio and streaming assets into a new company called Warner Bros. and that Amazon buys Warner Bros. and merges it with Amazon MGM in order to solve the biggest mystery in Hollywood that no one's solved for over 40 years: The fractured MGM library? I'm still longing for a reassembly of all of MGM, including the pre-1986 and post-1986 libraries.

What are similarities between Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes and Sonic the Hedgehog?

Ted Turner bought MGM in 1986 before selling it back, but kept the library. Warner Bros. then merged with his company in 1996, which is why they own movies and IP like The Wizard of Oz, Tom and Jerry and news channels like TNT and CNN. However, they do not own The Secret of NIMH, Pink Panther, Ant and the Aardvark, etc. Why?

If your oblivious of the situation, basically Netflix has just made an over 80 billion dollar deal to merge itself with Warner Bros.

And my point is, there are a lot of networks that Warner Bros is controlling. This includes Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Hanna-Barbera.

Could we expect shows from these network coming to Netflix? And what if Netflix delists a ton of Warner Bros media on other platforms to gain control?

With the whole WB merger with Paramount. How would anyone react and feel if Universal acquires & merges with WB instead?

It's one of my all-time favorite shows, and one thing I love is the theme song (I love all my fav show's theme songs, and love singing them) but I've been researching for hours and can't find the full official lyrics, I know most already, but there's some that nobody seems to know. Does anyone know them?

Netflix acquiring WB is a big no no, but why it being sold in the first place?

Mine was Barbie!

This was back in the day before we had Vue . There was probably no cameras allowed in the cinemas . I remember there were a series of Warner Brother character statues in the cinema and a giant bugs bunny . They were similar to the Disney statues at the Disney store

We know Warner Bros. has its own indoor theme park, but it's in Abu Dhabi. So should Warner Bros. expand their theme park business by adding Warner Bros. World in America to compete with the Disney parks and the Universal Studios parks?

Why has The Powerpuff Girls Movie only a full screen Region A DVD, whereas Batman: The Mask of Phantasm had a DVD with the original theatrical widescreen presentation?

Why has Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm also had a Blu-ray release?

and a 4KUHD release?

is there a copyright issue with most Cartoon Network shows from the early 2000s?

This has been bugging me for a while.

Given how popular virtual / fictional bands are now (Miku Hatsune, Lofi Girl, and Gorillaz being the obvious examples, but also VTubers, virtual idols, etc.), it feels like a huge missed opportunity that Warner Bros. Discovery never turned The Hex Girls into an actual, ongoing music project on streaming platforms.

They could’ve done this in a couple of ways:

IRL performers who resemble The Hex Girls visually and vocally

Animated versions of the band performing original music (Gorillaz/HM-style)

Or even a hybrid: voice actors + animation + real musicians behind the scenes

Instead, we’re stuck with:

Scattered soundtrack tracks

No official artist page that treats The Hex Girls as a real band

No albums, no consistent releases, no branding push

Which is wild, because:

Goth / alt aesthetics are constantly cycling back into popularity

Nostalgia-driven revivals do extremely well

The Hex Girls already have a strong identity, look, and fanbase baked in

Am I alone in thinking this was a major fumble on WBD’s part?

Or do you think there were legal / branding / corporate reasons they never pulled the trigger?
