Netflix owning viacom?

[Vegita-San]

apparently they'd own tmnt tooo...

[oldmanwinters]

I thought Viacom was the much bigger company.

[Andrew NDB]

A confusing Google search says Netflix is worth about 194 billion and ViacomCBS is worth somewhere between 18 to 30 billion.

That'd be cool. I'd love to work on a Netflix TMNT show. I even have a Netflix-appoved camera now.

[oldmanwinters]

I had no idea Netflix was sitting on that much bling in the bank.

Netflix is much bigger than Viacom but I haven't read anything about this, seems like baseless speculation on their deal with Viacom and seems in conflict with what Netflix has done in the past or Viacoms Current strategy but I'd like to see it happen. (It won't )

I'd love to not have to sign up again for CBS All Access come the next seasons of Picard and Discovery.

MAKE IT SO.

[Andrew NDB]

There's this...

CBS Access is apparently failing (STD and STP and the new "The Woke Zone" didn't move the needle, I guess) so this summer they're going to "reboot" it and change the name this summer.

[Vegita-San]

how did that help the cable company that did the same? probably not very much

It'd be interesting to see how netflix would handle tmnt. perhaps better than nick, but I don't think their track record in wokeness is much better sadly.

Not all that much to lose at this point. I'd like a roll of the dice.

My perspective: I'm always lurking around the corner for the next cool tmnt thing, but if I had 1/10 odds on TMNT getting the treatment I think it deserves vs the franchise being absolutely smothered and turned into 100% toddler fare, I'd take those chances. Worst case, I'd walk away with my memories and a box full of comics.

Not to bash Nick, who did TMNT 2012, a series aimed primarily at children, about as well as I could have imagined. I genuinely enjoy it, even though I'm not the target audience. It's a great introduction to TMNT.
Also, I don't know just how much credit they deserve, but having Kevin Eastman involved with the comics is fantastic as well. Everyone at IDW has been great.

But I'm over 30. And TMNT has a deeper side that I'm dying to see explored.

There's nothing to point out Netflix will buy viacom, I mean it's neat to speculate but it's just baseless speculation at the moment. I'd be happy with Netflix buying Viacom, as far as Netflix and animation, for the most part it's pretty horrible, most exclusive animated shows from netflix are bad, I've reviewed tons of them on my website, I like the hollow but Carmen Sandiego, Kong King of the Apes , magic school bus rides again etc are all horrible. Animation is usually nice though, they're just written for toddlers.

I’d fill you all in, but then I’d get banned again.

A month long spanking for speaking truth to power.

[Leo656]

Wow, it's usually two weeks. Nice job.

You made the joke about the Nickelodeon writer guy's mom and the heroin, didn't you? They HATE that sh*t, I meant to warn you but I didn't get a chance. Also, jokes about buses and cliffs and them being inside of said buses. They really get sensitive about that, for some reason, and they come get ya. By proxy. But they get ya!

[TommyT]

They don’t want you to know. I laid it all out before, was immediately banned, then they deleted the post.

Kind of sad.

Better to just spill it or not, as opposed to beating around the bush, imo.

So I can get banned again? You need new management. There’s corruption in the ranks.

[Leo656]

Was that the Official Reason given for your Temp Ban? Just curious. I missed whatever happened, I was probably baked.

I've always demanded answers for any of mine. I've never once agreed with them but I understood the spirit of why it was done. Plus, in my cases it was pretty much for display purposes only.

Truly, it's the End of Days when Kappa of all people jumps to my defense. Thanks, by the way.

It's like, until the virus came and took'er jerbs, I only put chicks on a scale and did body fat measurements and all that almost every day for 10 years. No, yeah, I went to school for this sh*t but I have no idea what's "healthy", and 125 is totally fat, you guys.

I mean... in SOME sense, the guy wasn't 100% wrong, insofar as normalizing ACTUAL obesity is unhealthy and I say the same thing all the time, but... well, as I well know, sometimes you can be "right" on principle but still so completely off-putting about delivering the message that nobody listens to it anyway.

So, uh... I been out, and I see the guy's Banned. What'd I miss?

Take your pick:

Obesity was the #1 co-morbidity factor. The Second wave is coming, but body shaming causes pearl clutching and outrage. Maybe this.

Also:
The boy's are being offered up to the highest bidder, but I'm the crazy one. DC was almost passed over to Disney, I'm a loon. A head still rolled, the other got SUPER lucky he didn't get tossed, but that was a big warning. I slipped that here, maybe that was wrong.

In the big house, I said it was suspicious that so many around him were sick, now his Chauffeur is positive - immediately shut that thread DOWN!

Nobody expects the marks to read the trades. So mentioning a certain company is 50 mil in debt and growing...
Well I guess THAT was the line. Kiss the ring and sing the praises of the bloated fool with nepotistic leanings.

V is a sinking ship, they got one in the chamber, and it's a toss up if it will go or not. N looks better than it is.

[Sumac]

I haven't seen conspiracy ramblings in a long long time.
Nothing of value was missing, honestly.

You missed my point: Better to say nothing than to tease what you can't talk about.

Sorry, but it's just needless blue-balling.

- "I know something, but I can't tell you"

- "Okay."

Y'know?

I'm often confused by the banning. The execution seems often lazy and the reasoning bordering on pointless.

That said, without singling anyone out, some people have acted sort of obnoxious lately and when that happens I dont mind seeing them banned. I sort of chuckle to myself.
