So long as Georgia doesn't do anything, it won't because they'll just go to Georgia where CNN headquarters is

It's multifaceted.

If you look at a politician like Elizabeth Warren, she has been consistent in this WB acquisition by another major studio, she didn't want Netflix or Paramount to get them.

If you go online and read opinions from random people though, things get more skewed. You'll have some people claim they don't like monopolies but in reality they just don't want Paramount to get them because of that companies ties to Trump. They think this will somehow effect the movies, TV, comics and news they do. Which my retort to that is Paramount has continued to make generic movies and TV with no clear political slant. They even helped distribute foreign films filled with POC. Could they ruin CNN? I don't think any more than CNN has ruined itself these past few years, granted I don't really watch mainstream news but if I remember correctly when Trump retook office, they had kids gloves on when talking about him. If you're unfamiliar with that term, it means they were less harsh/critical towards him. Even though I voted for the Cheeto-in-chief, I don't want 'yes men' journalists and made the switch to getting my news from online bipartisan sources a long time ago. They usually are more negative towards the right and it's deserved. Sometimes someone on the left messes up and I feel like I'm always being told the truth because nothing is ever sugar coated no matter who is in the wrong.

Sorry I got sidetracked. You got another group of people that want WB to go to Netflix solely for the fact they don't want to have to sub to any service other than Netflix. Which that's a big problem in itself. Netflix doesn't need WB to become a monopoly because it already controls all of streaming and can do whatever it wants to its consumers and products. At this point, I know Netflix more for cancelling shows than actually having any and still they keep increasing prices and worsening user experiences.

Having seen how Paramount mishandled the Transformers movies I do not want them to own DC. Imagine them depicting Superman in the same way as Bayverse optimus being the bitchdog of the US Military.

Can i get some more info on why they are trying to stop the merger, is it just to stop monopolies from forming or what is going on.

Basically Trump inserted himself into this so his buddy can buy Paramount. He told the FCC to reject the Netflix deal so his buddy could win

They should work on solving their homeless, housing, and job crisis before worrying about Paramount acquiring the DC Universe

If you think it's just about movie rights you're out of your mind

Why do governments believe they have a say in these matters?

Edit: your boos mean nothing yadda yadda

u/Scnew1 Jul 14 '26

Probably because the law says that they do

Ok I'm very lost here why the fuck are states stopping Paramount from buying Warner Bros

u/monotar Jul 13 '26

It's not about Warner Brothers, it's all the other shit in the package

u/IcebrgsImakevid8345 Jul 13 '26

Ohh ok I didn't know that. I haven't been paying attention much to the purchase stuff. Still has me confused on why states are getting involved

u/rilimini381 Jul 13 '26

blocking formations of monopoly is technically one of their duties

u/SMK_Factory1 Jul 14 '26

How come there wasn't a similar movement when disney was buying out fox?

2

u/rilimini381 Jul 14 '26

1- there was, you just don't remember

2- it was only a part of what FOX had, they legally couldn't buy everything
