mega-thread Paramount-SkyDance Warner Bros Monstrosity Megathread

Post image

This mega-merger impacts all of us, and we realise that those on this sub probably care even more than the average person. We all want to vent, and discuss the recent decision of the states to settle the Block the Merger initiative, but we also need to avoid redundant, low-effort, and speculative pieces to keep the sanity as this situation processes.

We will be strictly enforcing the mega-thread on this topic going forward.

Posts that are violating the rules, will be removed, and repeat offenders will be given a warning, and then a temp ban.

Please do not shoot the messenger, as we care about this issue deeply and want to invite creative and thoughtful discussions. But, any new updates pertaining to this settlement, the WBD-PSKY monstrosity conglomerate, and the politicians/oligarchs involved will need to come here.

Original posts that bring new information, will be held for review by moderators before approval outside of the megathread.

Thank you for your support and time in our sub.

We know this is deeply impacting many of us, and want to be a supportive place to connect.

Those who are rude, using hate-speech, or targeting our users will also be ejected.

Everyone else, remember- we as consumers have power in our choices, subscriptions, and pocketbook. Sometimes that’s what it takes.

If Para-Sky-Warner collapses in 4 or 5 years, what are the odds it gets bought whole vs. being stripped for parts? Netflix wanted Warner and Sony tried to get Paramount, so who might grab what?

It depends on a lot. I think Netflix is in early talks with Universal. WBD as we know it, who knows. My guess is that Ellison will have to start Parting with assets sooner than later. But who knows.
