The best Shang Tsung to ever exist. I will miss him.
Hmm, upshot, I may not have to renew HBO Max if that whole catalogue is going to Netflix.Netflix just purchased WB and HBO Max.
They both make very little that I still consume, but I worry about physical releases of old WB, since Netflix barely releases anything on disc. Well, not really worry, since it's out of my control. More, awareness of the possibility that new discs will cease. At a point in my life where I accept that everything will become worse. Capitalism is a race to the bottom.

Netflix Wins Bidding War For Warner Bros. Discovery, Will Start Exclusive Deal Talks
Netflix has emerged victorious with what appears to be the highest bid for Warner Bros. Discovery and the two sides are set to start exclusive talks.deadline.com
On February 19, 2027, we’ll celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars with a re-release of the 1977 original back for a limited time, in theaters everywhere.
Part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, a newly restored version of the classic Star Wars (1977) theatrical release — later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope — will play in theaters for a limited time.
They will stay separate for a good while. Source: a YT video, but there was a conference call or something that laid it out.Hmm, upshot, I may not have to renew HBO Max if that whole catalog is going to Netflix.
People are worried about the abundance of lay offs that are going to happen regardless, and Netflix finding any excuse to charge the up rates, and make things even more expensive.I see people lamenting Netflix buying WB, but what was there really to lament? WB was so desperate to sell itself, it wasn't expending an ounce to renew itself as an entertainment brand.
And the fact that Netflix and theatrical releases are...not a very common ground of meeting, and Netflix has indicated that they'll be much more "efficient" at streaming releases means that movies won't be staying in theaters as long, so movie theater fans are concerned about the long-term impact there.People are worried about the abundance of lay offs that are going to happen regardless, and Netflix finding any excuse to charge the up rates, and make things even more expensive.
I'd like those same people to pick a fucking lane. Because the same ones screaming about mergers and buyouts like this are the same ones who will post this every fucking time.I see people lamenting Netflix buying WB, but what was there really to lament?

I don't think they're mutually exclusive. The streaming giants made the media landscape we now live in, so it's hard to trust them in their attempts to "unify" things.I'd like those same people to pick a fucking lane.

I completely disagree. Some shit is mutually exclusive and single point media streaming is one of them because like it or not, the public do not own these things. I've got more respect for everyone who never bothered with streaming and just kept pirating shit; at least they were consistent. But once a thing is successful, imitators or competitors were coming and if that wasn't a simple fact of life, we'd all still be driving black Fords.I don't think they're mutually exclusive.

I streamed some of the time, but I only have an Amazon Prime account. Everything else I am either using my brother's or my dad's account. My dad for Netflix, and my older brother I used his account on Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and Peacock the one time.I completely disagree.
