So AEW will end up with something on this service right? Tailor made for MJF.

It took them that long to come up with Max? How long did it take them to find the light switch in the boardroom? they know there's a light switch in the board room? did the secretary tell them?

The perfect name to disappoint your kids when they find out the Max Goof content ain’t on this service.

Honestly, the weirdest thing so far about this merger is that, especially after the tons of bad PR that kicked all this off is that it feels like they're doing a lot of right moves. Michael Ouweleen's saying the right things as President of CN and Adult Swim, especially since they're basically the two providers of animated content now and the Gunn/Safran combo are trying to accommodate a lot but seem to be passionate enough about the characters to turn the ship in a direction and whilst the proof is in the pudding, it's not the same as it was post-merger where cuts and chops were happening all over the place. Knowing how this company has been, we're weeks away from the next big dumb thing (besides dropping the HBO part of HBO Max, which is stupid but will absolutely not hold up in copyright court) but it does feel further away than it was when this thing got completed.

From the article I read its not the amount Netflix is paying but how slow the payments come. So he wants the money quicker to boost profits short term.

On today's episode of "David Zaslav is a f***ing asshole". Over half the available Looney Tunes shorts were removed.
It's starting to look exactly like what I thought was going to happen. HBO Max is being gutted to pretty much just become a new Discovery+ and any Warner content is being flushed ASAP

So now apparently the issue with the Looney Tunes shorts might be because of a glitch and they will be coming back. So a lot of gun jumping perhaps but given everything so far...

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing wasn't just testing the waters, seeing how people would react to them pulling the shorts. When they got push back, they explain it all away with a glitch. If nobody said anything, they would've just continued to quietly phase them off the service.

Flintstones is also missing seasons 4-6. Likely from the same issue.

I can believe the glitch thing in this case, especially with it being such an even split of content, but I do definitely think they'll end up removing the Looney Tunes shorts at some point because it definitely is the kind of property that they can likely make more money loaning out to some other service than they can using it as a centerpiece of their own. Same thing that's happening with the DCAU.

Not even Looney Tunes is safe...
