Part 2/11:
Recently, Netflix secured an $82.7 billion bid to acquire Warner Brothers, an event that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. Despite the media overhyping this as a potential doomsday for theaters and traditional film studios, the core reality remains more nuanced. Many industry insiders suggest that this merger may not drastically change the content itself but signals a shifting landscape where corporate consolidation is inevitable.
Some have even joked about exaggerated dystopian notions—such as Netflix building a "Death Star" from Warner's remains or secretly deploying space-based "Rods from God." These hyperbolic takes highlight how surreal and overblown public discourse around this deal has become.
