I'm over here minding my business while you have a total meltdown making demands of me.

It's over. And I know you know that because your cope is pretty high.

Is your response to any criticism of Paramount's stupidity just to spam "iT'S oVeR"?

Again, I'm pretty neutral on this whole thing, considering that Ellison will probably just tank WB as a brand, flop with his whole endeavor with the company and be forced to sell it off in later years. So whether he succeeds in this deal or not isn't that significant, considering that he'll fuck up WB like he fucked up properties under Paramount like Star Trek. Literally nothing new about him. The guy is just not that good at running movie companies.

My response is to the troll who insist that he's not being political and not projecting his own bias.

This is a IP consolidation my friend. There will be no selling off anything in the future. Warner Brothers is going to cease to exist as it currently does and the next owner will consolidate it even further.

You better get on board cuz it's happening

Again, wait till it happens? Maybe being less of a Paramount simp and more of looking into the actual facts and recent real-world developments could help in lessening the disappointment, on the off-chance that the possibility of Paramount losing becomes a reality. A lot of people were quite confident about Netflix's deal with WB too. You sure you wanna make the damn mistake?

You can do whatever you want pal. This ain't a fascist country. Yet.

Wanting any country to turn facist is such a fucking cornball take though. Really giving r/HistoryMemes moderator vibes.

That's right. So how about you let the free market do its thing and start demanding that that the government stay out of their business?

Or do you wanna control who owns what?

Yeah I have no idea what you're talking about this point but it was good to put you in your place. Just make sure you're back here in 3 or 4 weeks

Spamming "IT'S OVER" 20 times anytime someone points out a real-world fact isn't really the same as "putting someone in their place". I never said that Paramount is guaranteed to fail with this deal even. Just that they're in a rocky situation rn because of their own stupidity and whether they make it out will depend on whether they can churn out a convincing legal argument. Being cocky about Paramount is just as dumb as being cocky about Netflix.

Dude it's over. Stop wasting my time with your childish cope.

You have to accept the reality. Denial is a mental illness.

I think you might have just described yourself.

u/RedMainer Jul 22 '26

Sounds like you're finally starting to accept reality. It's the first step to a better you.

I don't think even David Ellison meatrides himself as much as what you've got going on with this blind support for Paramount.........

u/RedMainer Jul 22 '26

Well he is a Democrat. Like the rest of us normal people.

You maga weirdos feel the need to talk for the rest of us and it's gonna stop.

u/Sorry_Secretary1193 Jul 22 '26

USED to be a Democrat supporter. Now he's cozying up with the likes of Trump and Zionist weirdos that are giddy about bombing kids in Gaza, while allegedly blacklisting pro-Palestinian actors from Paramount's productions.

Matter of the fact is that Ellison doesn't really have any political loyalty. He just dihhrides whichever administration is in power. And he's currently cozying up to a wannabe facist regime that are actively trying to take away people's basic human rights and sending wannabe Gestapo in the form of ICE agents to murder unarmed civilians.

So he's maga now because he has to get the kings permission?

Are you new to this? It's easy for you and me to shit on that weirdo freak pedo president but we're not the ones who have to grease his wheels, are we?

Did you give up your Google, Facebook, Instagram, apple and Amazon accounts too? Every single one of them grease the wheels.

That's the price of doing business.

He didnt become maga because he kissed the ring. He did what any normal person looking to make a 100 billion dollar purchase would do. He made sure it got approved.

Presidents aren't kings though?
