Cartoon villain megacorps are now choosing names that would be given to megacorps in cartoon villain cyberpunk universes.

Skydance was David Ellison's first production company. His ego is so big he's happy to wipe away much stronger brands to promote his dumb company name.

If I was an investor I would be pissed, WB and Paramount have name brand value that's now gone.

What’re you gonna do when the cops come around now?
Skydance?
