Yes, and he admitted after it bombed that he didn't rewatch the show before writing the script. 100% an idiot move. I'll give him another chance though.

So apparently Netflix bought Warner, which would be inclusive of HBO/HBO Max and all the tv/movie studio stuff

Pretty sure JJ was already developing a black superman for Warner anyway. This just moves it into the front of the lineup.

paramount settled with the states so the purchase of Warner/HBO will close on tuesday
the new company name will be called Skydance, good job throw away 100+ years of movie history lol. i guess HBO and Warner will stick around as subsidiaries, but wonder what the branding will be on movies etc. will Paramount+ and HBO merge streaming services?
the heads of Warner movies will also be going away, they've had a horrible 2026 so not a big surprise, bunch of box office bombs and they also lost Nolan to Universal a few years ago. Gunn is staying for now although his contract ends in a year. If Man of Tomorrow bombs (likely, given the $300m+ budget and supergirl bombing HARD) he's probably gone.
the new head of Warner movies only puts out absolute garbage movies lol

As many people predicted, we're working our way back to the cable TV model of having one giant, bloated package to choose from that costs $200 a month and you are not interested in 90% of the content.

Only had Paramount+ for a limited time as part of a Verizon deal (the one after they stopped doing Netflix yearly deals), parents still have HBO through cable which also gives Max access. The quantity output will drop to less than half after the merge and there's no reason to subscribe if they only manage to put out 1/20 good series a year.
Fully expect them to not only raise prices but try to double dip, we're already out by default on one side we're double out if they mess with the other.

I will say when HBO Max and Discovery+ merged, there was no downside for me as a subscriber to both at the time. HBO stayed the same price and I just got to cancel Discovery+. Kinda doubt that will be the case with this one since Paramount+ is bigger. Hopefully they will put it all into the HBO app because Paramount+ is surpassed only by the NFL app in being a buggy POS.
