That said, the current administration just might block the Netflix-WB merger, but for the wrong reason. That being, so that Paramount can swoop in and buy WB instead...which, as I stated at the beginning of this thread, will be even worse for everyone.

...such as demanding minimum theatrical release windows in their contracts, higher residuals from streaming, no removal of content from the platform with the chance of said content being available elsewhere...stuff like that.

But, I'm not a WGA member, so obviously I'm not as knowledgeable as them.

As for the WGA's opposition to the merger, the union definitely has its points, but with WB merging with SOMEBODY being inevitable (it was either this, Paramount, or Comcast), it may be better for them to just negotiate with the combined company to mitigate the harmful effects of the merger...

In addition to post-merger Netflix having all of HBO Max's past and present content, another part of the best-case scenario would be the price being less than the current combined cost of the two streamers.

After all, the new Netflix will still have to compete with Disney+, Paramount+, Amazon, etc.

Best-case scenario would be HBO Max being absorbed into Netflix's namesake streaming service, with the entire WB library (HBO, DC, Looney Tunes, etc.) being available on the platform alongside Netflix's current library, including content that's been removed from HBO Max under Zaslav's tenure as CEO.
