The proposed $82.7 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. by Netflix marks a seismic shift in global entertainment.
The streaming giant Netflix, which once simply mailed DVDs, is set to consume a century of cinematic history—the home of DC superheroes, Harry Potter and HBO’s prestigious catalogue.

This well planned and brave move instantly plugs Netflix's "heritage gap," transforming the platform into a full-spectrum content powerhouse.
The deal dramatically escalates the streaming wars, placing Netflix directly in command of intellectual property rivaling Disney's kingdom.

So we see a big realignment in the way major Broadcasting groups pertaining to Hollywood are placed.

By the way, just to add, I am waiting for the time when the "Game of Thrones" would be added to Netflix.
I have not watched it though I have heard a lot about it.
And well, I am keen to watch it once it is active on Netflix.

I don't know yet if they will merge HBO Max and Netflix because, you know, they will make more money if they remain separate subscriptions.I already watched Game of Thrones, and that show is filled with incest.

Oh so that show is definitely not worth watching with family?
I would however watch a few episodes just to get an idea about the overall plot.

It's an R-18, uh, hyper-violent, uh, fantasy-historical show. It is fun to watch, but yeah, at first you will be uncomfortable knowing, you know, the main character's love interest is his aunt, and then one of the villains' mom and dad are brother and sister.

This Netflix deal to swallow Warner Bros is very hot on the street. Netflix used to only send DVDs now it wants to own Harry Potter and the entire DC universe. This is a very exciting deal. People are very excited. It brings a fierce battle with Disney. Netflix will have a very large library of content. All the HBO Max stuff will go in. But there are government regulators who want to giggle at this thing. They are afraid that it will become one big monopoly.

Hmm... may be now I feel that even I might not like it!

Talking about monopoly....
Already a lot of hue and cry has been raised. As per one news, it seems likely that even a judicial enquiry would be made into whether this deal causes too much monopoly.
Let us keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

The proposed $82.7 billion ... acquisition

Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. is a massive deal, fundamentally changing the game in the entertainment industry. Netflix now possesses a vast content library comparable to DC, Harry Potter, and HBO, placing it on par with Disney and intensifying competition in the streaming market.

Netflix said that they will not interrupt with cinematic movies. Cinematic movies will still go on theaters. But you know what will happen after they end their theatrical run? The Warner Bros. cinematic movies will either go to Netflix and HBO Max. And also they have no plans to merge HBO Max and Netflix because they have two different markets. And they like the idea of the consumers paying subscription to two separate entities.

Well, not a very good news for me!
I was expecting getting hold of HBO content on my existing Netflix subscription.

[germainebull]

I get you. Netflix's decision is erratic.
