Not wanting the other two I understand but Netflix would still suck *** in a big way. Netflix is garbage, Sarandos is awful and his treatment of almost every movie as pure content and numbers, let alone the complete lack of cinematic presence, is a horrific prospect for any studio, especially WB.

So just Universal for me and I wouldn't even be crazy about that prospect tbh.

People are gonna lose their jobs in part due to redundancy in a merger/buyout. What Netflix could benefit from is people who know how to make and distribute movies better than they do (not a tall order).
