Now Introducing HBO Max Classic

[Marvolo]

Warner Bros. Discovery To “Spend Dramatically More” On HBO – Deadline

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Kane52630]

There goes DC animation.

 

[Gold Samurai]

How long until they get Michael Bay to make a DC movie?

Funny enough. Snyder and Bay both went to the same art school


Zack Snyder

 

[Sithborg]

I'll believe it when I see it.

They key there is HBO, not HBO Max. I kind of believe that. Some of their bigger successes have been sci-fi/fantasy, which require bigger budgets.

 

[Prison Mike]

He also includes HBO Max in there

The employee who sent that rn:

 

[Prison Mike]

Paramount+: Feeling really depressed after threesome. What was supposed to be a fantasy ended up more rejection. Must get rid of toxic in community.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Now they are removing actual HBO shows....you're removing content that was meant for your service! This is ridic.

Yeah, but Discovery knows what's best. Just look at their amazing reality television multiverse.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I can't get over the graphic where they list off all the praise for HBOMax as a great service with quality content and then the best thing they can say about Discovery+ is basically

Zaslav on Scripted Drama: "It's like a kid's soccer game - everyone saw something that worked and started chasing the ball. It's way too expensive."

I cannot comprehend thinking that way about scripted tv - the definitive root of the medium for all of its history. And he's talking about it like its some lame fad.

Wait he didnt…theres no way he…he actually said…WUT?! Did he sleep through the 2000s and 2010s?! Hes joking right?

 

[Lily Adler]

Guy Fieri is an iconic series now?!

 

[Marvolo]

Wait he didnt…theres no way he…he actually said…WUT?! Did he sleep through the 2000s and 2010s?! Hes joking right?

Zaslav: "Sopranos? What's that? A singing competition?"

 

[Detective Conan]

Wait he didnt…theres no way he…he actually said…WUT?! Did he sleep through the 2000s and 2010s?! Hes joking right?

David Zaslav: The Cable Boss

 

[Marvolo]

I bet House of Dragons won't be getting a yearly budget increase like GOT did. He'll want them to kill off the Dragons in season 2 to save money.

"Let's make them metaphorical dragons."

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

They'd be crazy to gut WB Animation.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

From their presentation today:

Yet most of the growth of HBO Max was in women since it began to the point that there really is not a significant skew anymore.


What HBO and HBO Max are looking for in new series, from 'single-season thrillers' to fare like 'Veep' and 'Knives Out,' according to Hollywood insiders

They don't want girl cooties on their superhero stuff.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

It is weird that they would highlight HBO Max as male skewing, yet bang the drum about their 'Sex and the City' franchise, including a second season of ...And Just Like That, due to launch next summer.

Also can't see Zaslav and his team being very supportive of shows like The Sex Lives of College Girls and Harley Quinn either.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

Any hope of giving Diana a girlfriend on screen is also gone.

They're all about data and algorithms... until the data contradicts their narrow-minded view of what's "For Men" and "For Women" and then they throw it out the window.

Any hope of giving Diana a girlfriend on screen is also gone.

We're also almost certain to get Hal as the sole focus of any Green Lantern project. If Aquaman wasn't their only billion dollar property at this point, Momoa would probably be getting booted for a mOrE aCuRraTe actor as well.

 

[J.Drangal]

Yeah, I think Caped Crusader will remain just a nice teaser poster.

And tears.

 

[Prison Mike]

I’m betting that the free ad supported plan will be more Discovery+ content while the more premium versions will lean heavily on the HBO content. It will probably be similar to how Peacock does their plans.

Don't you dare...

We need to hold on to hope. Not even Zaslav could be that cruel.
