None of these changes make me want to subscribe to HBO max.
If anything, they make me want to avoid Discovery properties like the plague.

I have my doubts that it's just "temporary".

I have my doubts that it's just "temporary". Who names their kid Excel? Do they have a brother named PowerPoint?

I have my doubts that it's just "temporary". To paraphrase Homelander in The Boys, “Interesting how these things have a tendency to become permanent.”

I thought Netflix was self-destructing, but HBO Max said, "Hold my beer".

Jim Starlin claimed DC paid him more money for BvS using KGBeasts civilian name for a character than Marvel paid for Thanos and every related character/story. So there should be be a happy medium between the two. Not that I think this guy is looking for that. Exactly I dont think this guy is looking for a happy medium. He's looking to pinch pennies to help deal with the debt. Not even that. Pinching pennies would be becoming more bullish on what to greenlight in the first place. When you make an announcement about something or sell people on a product, the fans are trusting the company to deliver. You need a good explanation when these projects just never happen most of the time. Everything WB is doing right now is bad business because they’re actively not meeting their promises, with absolutely no good excuse besides paying people less in royalties.

I'm officially boycotting anything by Discovery. On purpose.
Wonder how Asslav's gonna ruin Multiversus... or the gaming division in general.

I mean, with no due respect to Asslav (great name, btw), I feel like Cartoon Network getting phased out would've happened with or without the merger. The old bosses clearly didn't care about the network, they had maybe five or six original programs, they'd even moved into airing live action films and television. That's "you had one job" territory. That said, no one made Asslav delete years of people's hard work just for shits and giggles, that's all him.

I could see TBS end up being used for a afterschool/Saturday Morning cartoon block (that'll obviously be prempted, especially on weekdays for much of October due to MLB postseason)
