$500 Million Exit: David Zaslav Is Leaving Warner Bros. a Rich Man — but He’d Love to Stay Around Even Longer

David Zaslav is leaving Warner Bros. a very rich man after selling the historic studio to Paramount in a deal that is upending Hollywood.

Something good is happening!!!!

Warner Bros Do you know that she is the one who made the magic of the film (apparently not)

Welp... (#FireDavidZaslav)

I never though of making this, but a few hours ago, Coyote Vs Acme, the most highly anticipated movie to come out the Looney Tunes, has been shelved and would not be releasing at all.

When I heard this I was confused and disappointed: "Why would they cancel this movie?" I thought to myself. "Oh right, TAXES and MONEY!" I was already aware of Zaslav's mistreatment of animation but this made me sad in particular considering that the movie was completed by the time it was cancelled.

All of those animators that have put their sweat and guts into this film for over two years. Gone. By contrast, the universally-reviled Velma got green light for a second season, while 2023's The Flash not only somehow survived cancellation, but also kept Ezra Miller - who had a lot of criminal activity throughout 2022 - as the titular character in spite of the potential legal trouble they'll get for having a convicted criminal in a role of a mainstream film, let alone still continue acting.

As I said in a comment on a YT video, any hope I had with WB and especially Zaslav is pretty much gone. Hell, I would argue that any hope I had with this year is gone. Between the abysmal beginning (the aforementioned Velma, the career-destroying scandals of Justin Roiland and Elliot Gindi, with the latter having only stared voiced acting for five months before the allegations came out, and the widespread, messy but otherwise pointless Hogwarts Legacy drama), the doubling down of Hollywood and especially WB's maltreatment of animation, several formally revered people getting exposed left and right, and tech giants making inane decisions, most notable Elon's takeover of Twitter and Reddit's API Changes, its honestly not a hyperbole or an exaggeration to say I despise this year. Not to an extent of 2020, but still pretty bad, and 2023 sucking was something I've been genuinely dreading when December of last year came.

And speaking of last year, this day marks the unfortunate first anniversary of the controversy DeviantArt got into when they decided to implement AI into their platform known for art made by actual people, NOT machines. Is every Nov. 11 going forward gonna have a company screwing over their audience and employees?

If there's one silver lining to this devastating situation, it's that the producers of said film would be able to watch it on private screenings next week. That, and the potential content leaks of said film.

At this rate, WB is dangerously close to becoming the ActiBliz of animation - a company full of greedy scumbags who take delight in screwing over their audience and their people.

To close this post off, I will no longer be supporting WB and its related content from now on (at least legally). I'll be removing my profile off of HBO Max (or rather Max) and deleting the service on my TV. I'll also remove every video from the Cartoon Network YouTube channel off my watch history even though they had nothing to do with this situation, I just don't like associating myself with a scummy company regardless of how I feel about the products themselves. That obviously doesn't mean I automatically hate anything by WB nor do I want to remove them from my history, I'm just saying is that I don't want to support anything by WB if that means I'm profiting of from the company. I'll also delete/private my fan art commemorating the company's centennial, because as I said before, I'm not respecting a company that treats its own works like disposable tools while giving other works a slap on the wrist in spite of their abysmal quality. Talk about double standards...

TL;DR: WB cancels a film that has already been completed and everyone is restoring to pirating their content, including me.

EDIT: Okay, changed my mind. I'm ONLY going to delete everything from JUST Warner Bros., the company, not the products they own. That doesn't mean I WON'T be deleting anything that celebrates the company though.

EDIT 2: Even though I'm not supporting WB anymore, I'm keeping my 100th anniversary post (at least on this site) for "archival/historical" purposes.

Fuck Zaslav!

Piece of shit didn't learn a damn thing. After losing 5 billion of dollars he decided to tax write off another fucking movie for $30M while the movie itself costed $70M!

He is asking for the company to he in more debt, that lazy selfish cheap piece of shit just didn't wanna pay the tax on the film cause the company lost billions even though it's HIS FAULT for that!

The finished $90M HBO Max movie Batgirl has been shelved so Warner Bros could take the tax write off.  Also the finished $40M Scoob! Holiday Haunt.  Also HBO Max TV shows Gordita Chronicles and J. G. Quintel’s Close Enough.  Also cancelled pretty much everything on TBS, TNT and The CW.  Speculation has other projects, Green Lantern Corps, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Zatana, Static Shock and others quietly canceled. Probably also HBO Max’s Velma. Seems like new boss David Zaslav doesn't like anything that could be considered diverse.  Turning hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects into Tax Write-Offs sounds like Tax Evasion, Fraud and Corporate Malpractice.  #FireDavidZaslav   #SaveBatgirl   #SaveScoobHolidayHaunt #scoobHolidayHaunt #Batgirl #scoobydoo #velma #velmahbomax #DavidZaslov #BlackCanary #BlueBeetle #BlackCanaryMovie #BlueBeetleMovie #Racism #GorditaChronicles #CloseEnough #jgquintel #regularshow #taxvasion #fraud #corporatemalpractice #staticshock #greenlanterncorps #zatana  (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzLZYuLVfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
