Silver linings:

- I’m relieved WB was not acquired by Paramount Skydance.

- There will be fewer streaming services to pay for(at a much higher price).

Hip, hip hooray?

Why drop in today? I’m fired up about MEDIA CONSOLIDATION.

MEDIA CONSOLIDATION—it’s bad for everyone who isn’t a shareholder.

Prepare for fewer theatrical releases, shorter release windows, more expensive subscriptions, and less overall variety in our media landscape.

Silver linings:

- I’m relieved WB was not acquired by Paramount Skydance.

There’s nothing novel here, and hardly enough fun or story to justify a movie at all.

Guaranteed to make a billion dollar$.

Sure, it’s great to see Mahershala turn on the charm for a wisecrack or Rupert Friend twist his metaphorical mustache, but these moments are fleeting in a sea of exposition and a Triforce fetch quest so formulaic, I have to wonder how many zeroes were on the paycheck for some of Hollywood’s finest.
