Netflix Bails on Woke Warner Bros. Deal? Based.
Rumor has it Netflix might ditch that $83 billion Warner Bros. Discovery dumpster fire, and honestly? Good riddance.
So, the suits at Netflix are apparently having second thoughts about that whole $83 billion deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. Analysts are saying it might actually be good for Netflix to bounce. Color me shocked. I mean, who wants to be associated with the dumpster fire that WBD has become?
Let's be real, Warner Bros. has gone full woke. Everything's about pushing the agenda, and the quality has tanked. Discovery isn't much better. The merger was a disaster waiting to happen, and anyone with half a brain could see it coming. Now Netflix is thinking, "Wait a minute, maybe we don't want to throw billions into this virtue-signaling black hole."
That $83 billion could be used for, like, actual good stuff. You know, original content that isn't preachy garbage. Shows that people actually want to watch, instead of being lectured to about the latest trendy cause. Maybe they could even bring back some classics, without shoehorning in diversity quotas and woke storylines. A man can dream.
The streaming wars are already a bloodbath. Disney+ is hemorrhaging money, and everyone's scrambling for subscribers. Netflix is still the king, but they can't afford to make stupid mistakes. Tying themselves to Warner Bros. would be the equivalent of strapping an anchor to their leg and jumping into the ocean. Hard pass.
Maybe this is a sign that even corporate America is starting to wake up. Maybe they're finally realizing that people are tired of the woke agenda. Maybe, just maybe, they're starting to care about profits again. Or maybe they just crunched the numbers and realized the deal was a terrible idea. Either way, I'm here for it.
Remember when entertainment was, you know, entertaining? Before everything had to be a social commentary or a lecture about inclusivity? Those were the days. Hopefully, Netflix's potential escape from the WBD deal is a step back in that direction. One can only hope that we return to normalcy in the entertainment industry soon.
In conclusion, if Netflix bails on the Warner Bros. Discovery deal, it will be a win for everyone. More original content that doesn't suck, less virtue signaling, and maybe, just maybe, a return to sanity in Hollywood. Get woke, go broke, am I right?
