David Ellison (son of the current richest man in the world) wanted to play with daddy's money, it's that simple.
That and Netflix has a metric of viewership more than the 1.4% HBO Max currently has in the US. That said, I don't think they'll go for it since they seem content with their current operations and from what I read, the original rumor is a bunch of hearsay.
Zaslav's clutching those purse strings something fierce. He's only in it now until he can parachute out of there via David Ellison or whoever else hands him the cash.
Yeah, and again I'm more curious at the behind the scenes aspect - like how their newbie showrunner is going to handle that type of scale without everything going sour.
Different divisions, and even then their studios don't have much lined up for next year. Also, the keyword is "original movies", which HP doesn't even begin to fall into.
Except HBO Max is funding the trans genocide, so just pirate it at this point.
Organized progressive boycotts work. Much like voting, every person counts.
Lot of complicit behavior going around.

The only company that would be... decent... would be Comcast/Universal. But what should have happen and still should happen is Zaslav booted out and WB reorganized from the top. That's their problem.
That'd be bad too.
They're absolutely not. Netflix is who you're looking for.
NYT got what they wished for.
Paramount+ and HBO Max need to go as well for their various misdeeds.
I'd bet money on it.
She's only going to get worse.
this shit sucks and we're in hell
CNN is complicit.
Fuck em.
I've invested in Lego therapy.
Video games, TV and movies are next.
Wasn't even a majority either, ffs.
They knew from the first time around, and they were warned.
Never gonna forgive anyone who voted for him or the people who sat it out when their vote actually mattered.
Exactly. There's actual metrics out there too so their attempt at spreading lies is laughable at best.
No they weren't, get off your burner, coward.
Okay, bot.
This is deeply, deeply chilling, and I suspect will be seen as even more of a turning point than Colbert's cancellation — at least The Late Show is still on the air.
Ohh okay, it looks pretty neat either way.
Is this from the show?
Once again, I feel sorry for those kids enslaved in her greedy vanity project.
A gallery of ghouls who never deserved a platform.

Zaslav sucks for cancelling this one. It needed at least one more season.
Not to don the tinfoil hat but some of this sounds manufactured.
No.
The GOP isn't interested in bipartisanship.
He was a misogynist who only saw women as objects, there's no "transforming minds" with people who build their whole life on hate.
This would be an even bigger mistake than the WB and Discovery merger.
HBO run by equally stupid people.
The pope doesn't even get glazed this much when he dies, sheesh.
Good lord, we need to rewind to at least 10 years ago when people weren't being so openly evil.
I can only imagine how much worse the media landscape will get because of them after reading this: www.npr.org/2025/09/12/n...
Fuck the Ellisons.
Yep, this whole shitshow is especially embarrassing considering the disgraceful, full regalia he was given before they ID'd the shooter.
MAGA chuds trying to turn that whole thing into their own little 9/11 is so funny to me. They fell for it again!
I'm going insane at all the corporate glazing...
You were unfairly fired. What you said was the truth, and not even an extreme version of it.
RIP John Oliver.
Disgusting.

Even if this wasn't a terrible idea, the whole thing screams "leftovers the films didn't get". Literally, in the case of McAvoy.
The complete collapse of mainstream media needs to be studied at this point.
Yep, people couldn't even exercise a basic decency.
I would argue it destroyed society in a way worse than post 9/11.
It rotted people's brains to the core.

Thanks! I'll help spread these far and wide~

Yeah it sucks. Frost also limited replies so he's not accepting any criticism either.
Yeah give me a second, I'll exclude the kids since they're being dragged into it by their parents.
IIRC he congratulated Frost on Instagram...
Would love one of these with the TV show cast.
Yep, on the list they go.
Their inaction speaks volumes.
Platforming a literal nazi, jesus christ. Fuck the Yankees.
Yep, my friends who still have the service got it for free with their internet plan. I cancelled a few years ago when they paywalled 4K behind $20 and that decision is validated by everything WB continues to do.
But... 150M subscribers! Or something. We're going all in on bigotry!
What content?
End of the week.
That wasn't the guy, the shooter is still at large.
Yes, most of them are either only in one book, or only have a handful of spoken dialogue. Truly a dire situation.
He's really banking on that 150 million number. How's that gonna work when they split off Discovery lol
A list of people involved? Here you go: bsky.app/profile/shel...
Try as she might, she's going to learn quickly that it's not going to work. The general audiences love the movie cast.
Daniel Radcliffe, who is still the face of the franchise, was willing to walk away. These people have no excuse.
Yeah I think he only revealed it very recently.
Things that didn't happen.
I'm not surprised after he lost out on a role in the second film.
HBO wants it to be the next GoT but I have a hard time seeing that happening. The majority of the general audience is questioning why it even exists when they already have the films. That and from a logistics standpoint it's going to collapse from the kids aging too fast.
The movies had something like this too, it's not a permanent structure so it doesn't hold a ton of water for the project's staying power.
More evidence that generative AI is the tool of fascism.
Theoretically it was wide open. Like wow.
And this was back when the franchise was much bigger than it is now. Kinda puts that in perspective for those who aren't saying no.
Much of what she's donated in the past amounts to tax write-offs, and she's now using "good" charities as a facade to push her bigotry anyway. For example, she founded a domestic violence victims centre that excludes trans women.
can't even enjoy Tron without that guy ruining it
At least with Epic I feel like people realized that land is... okay, at best. And the last time I was at the park the amount of Nintendo rep among guests seemed to outweigh everything else.
Yes.
Hopefully they remain as rumors. It is deflating seeing people excited for something we already have and don't need more of though, for sure. Soooo many more creative IPs deserve Universal's attention instead. So many more that aren't actively harming people.
If it's any consolation, The Sun is notorious for printing made up articles.

Yeah, especially after Universal just said they don't want it to take away from their business in Orlando. Which it would if they did that.
They're the only ones reporting on it so take it with a massive grain of salt.
Pretty sure that article is nonsense.
Yep, even if the author wasn't perpetuating a genocide, the general audience just won't care about something they can easily watch already as 2 1/2 hour movies.
And they're still losers.
He's been stealing other's ideas from the start. Pathetic coward.
Gallery of ghouls.
