I honestly think they're a better alternative than the Saudis and turning WB into another arm of a right wing media propaganda machine.

 

[Filmfreak]

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.
