Short Summary
- The acquisition creates a single, dominant media entity, drastically reducing competition across sectors.
- Movie theaters face an existential threat as Netflix favors short theatrical windows for new releases.
- Key IP, like the Nemesis System and potential DC/Harry Potter gaming rights, transfers to a company that recently shuttered its own gaming division.
- Speakers universally express dread regarding reduced quality and increased corporate control, believing neither Netflix nor WB was steering content effectively beforehand.

what an intro
Zoomed in camera jumpscare
The dogs know what’s up. They are barking in frustration.
So two of the most infamous companies for shutting down animated content are fusing. We're fucked.
I cannot fucking believe the company that started off sending DVDs in the mail is going to own the studio that made Casablanca. What in the absolute fuck is going on around here???
Also Netflix Originals that actually end up being good are typically cancelled after the first season.
I can't wait in 20 years when Netflix, universal, and Disney all merge into one large company and they still don't carry Pokemon seasons.
Netflix cries poor when people were password sharing but drop 82 billion to buyout a company after
I feel like eventually if movie theaters do completely die out, they'll be a period where a ton of people are just happy with watching new movies at home, but eventually they'd either get bored of watching movies at home, or get bored of movies in general, and either stop watching movies entirely or want to watch movies in a place beside their home, thus leading to the revival of movie theaters
79$ a month for Netflix and 79$ HBO, then you get ads. Yeah we are going back to cable tv.
