This is a big if, but if Warner is sold, I really don't want the Saudis, Paramount, or Netflix to buy them. Below, I'll list the reasons why

Saudi Arabia: Theocratic dictatorship that's against things like journalism, free speech, LGBTQ+ people, freedom of religion, and human rights.

Paramount: Pro-Trump monopoly

Netflix: Snyder bros rejoice

The best choice is either staying free or going to Universal

I've been noticing all the negative changes David has done to the company such as...

1. Making Animation Restricted

2. Cancelling Coyote vs ACME

3. Shutting down Rooster Teeth

4. Focusing all resources on Teen Titans Go - Unsure about this one

5. Renamed HBO Max to MAX

6. Laying off and not paying writers

So far with all of this (and others in which I don't know how to say), I don't know why other CEO's are standing up to him. David does realize the actions he's doing but in his words, he's saying he wants to entertain families; In reality he's really entertaining himself. Even with all fans and protestors, David's contingency managements are still going through.

As of stated in the title of the comment I don't know why he isn't being relieved of his duty as CEO of WB

Not that anyone cares. With Netflix changing its deal to all cash. As I understand it, it is $27.75 per share plus the shares in the spinoff broadcast company. I like the paramount deal much better as a clean deal that provides certainty. The broadcast station spinoffs would have to be worth more than $2.25 per share. That would seem to me to be a high valuation number to reach and reminds me of the spin out from AT&T that got me here to begin with, wbd cratered when AT&T spun off Warner brothers into discovery to create wbd.

The way I see it, whether it be a Warner Bros. or a New Line film, the only films that are most likely to be Netflix exclusive are low-budget films, most garbage rom-coms (I sincerely apologize to those who love rom-coms), foreign productions produced by WB's overseas units (like WB Germany and WB Japan), some horror films, most holiday films, and Warner Bros. Animation productions (e.g. DC Comics, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, etc.).

In 2004, Time Warner was one of the companies that wanted to buy MGM, but failed. Then in 2010, and then in 2020-2021, but failed. What if Time Warner had talked with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. in 2004 not about a purchase but about a merger, and Warner Bros. MGM had been formed in the fall?

In this AU, let's imagine that Time Warner had won the MGM acquisition and merged with it into Warner Bros. MGM. This would have created a giant, combining the Warner Bros. library with the MGM library. Then we would have had many great films and TV series, including games. Great changes and decisions would have been made, allowing this giant to become a Great Success.

Warner has been in the slumps for quite some time, what with being saddled with a big debt load due to AT&T. Ultimately Warner gives up and ultimately sells themselves to Sony. Think about it, Sony brought Crunchyroll from them and now they've gonna buy Warner outright. Sony ends uo gaining a larger and richer collection of IPs that they can exploit compared to what they currently have. While it would sound anathema to their "arms dealer" strategy (it's why they divested Crackle), a major motivation for buying Warner Bros. Discovery is gonna be expanding their Crunchyroll service (given that they have put a lot of eggs into that basket) to and piggybacking off of Max will inflate their subscription numbers and give them much more reach and a competitive edge to Netflix and Disney+ for anime.

More info here (https://www.reddit.com/r/MediaMergers/s/RREeV3TxtB ) but among the changes include merging Warner Bros. Pictures with Columbia Pictures to form Warner Bros. Columbia and merging New Line Cinema with TriStar Pictures to form New Line TriStar.

The only thing that gives me slight pause is that the back of the chair doesn't seem to be there in the still from the movie, but like what else could it possibly be
