Daily Planet Redux: Man of Tomorrow News and Speculation Thread

Why would The Saudis want to lose money?

There are very few of their ventures that actually are profitable, in fact most lose eye watering amounts.. they don't care as they've a near bottomless pit of cash & some of these expenditures they see as extremely long term investments that can eventually help clean up the countries image, increase tourism, attract outside investors etc etc.

Why would they care? They have near unlimited funds and throw money on the fire on a daily basis because they can.

Yeah but they arent going to buy WB to make a bunch of gilms that lose money is the point. SnyderCultists seem to think that Paramount is going to revive the Snyderverse. Why woukd the Saudis put money into that?

I think you all are way overthinking my joke anyways but The Saudis gain more by investing in successful films not films no one cares about. Especially since the Cultists are easy to manipulate as proven by a rumor.

Why do you think they lose a lot of money to do WWE, UFC, golf, and boxing events?

I assume its because Snyder was making a movie for them or something, so those deluded fanboys made that connection. Same reason they thought Netflix was going to bring back the Snyderverse, because Snyder made Rebel Moon for them.

Right but there is value in it. Buying sports teams and leagues may lose money but the influence and white washing normalizes them which is worth its weight in gold.

If the Saudis help buy WB they arent doing it to lose money. They need films to be released and be viewed or nothing is gained. The network gives them more access (and a place to showcase their stuff) but they arent going to court weak fanbases in the hopes it helps their image. Sorry they dont need to do that the Snydercult brings them no real eyes they don't already have via golf, soccer, comedy, podcasts, fascist politics, a complicit media landscape, friendship/investment with Tech Edgelords and lord knows what else.

Hell...they likely have all of us already we just dont know it.

They aren't doing it to make money either. That's the point. If the right person has their ear, anything happens. It's why it's called "F you money".

It's funny you bring up golf, because no one watches that tour. It's brought them no real eyes. No one watched the comedy special over here. They do that stuff to establish power. To force others to bend to their will.
