>Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav met with Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish on Tuesday in New York City to discuss a possible merger, Axios has learned from multiple sources.
>Zaslav also has spoken to Shari Redstone, who owns Paramount's parent company, about a deal.
>The duo discussed ways their companies could compliment one another. For example, each company's main streaming service — Paramount+ and Max — could merge to better rival Netflix and Disney+.
>It's unclear whether WBD would buy Paramount Global or its parent company, National Amusements Inc. (NAI), but a source familiar with the situation says that both options are on the table.
>WBD is said to have hired bankers to explore the deal.

Actually a cube thread

>Dude, it's X... stop taking it so serio-
>This is inherently goofy-


Shut the fuck up. If you engage in genre fiction with this mindset, you are looking at it from an inherently dishonest and surface level perspective. If you are a writer, you MUST take your setting and characters completely seriously, otherwise your audience has no reason to invest in anything about your work. If you don't take it seriously, then why should the audience?

What a train wreck! I recently started reading the Archie Sonic series of comics from the first issue (of hundreds).
Thing is, I had a single issue growing up which was #42; and even 29 years after publication I think that individual issue is a well-drawn, interesting glimse into a whole Sonic world that I was new to.

I was enchanted by:
>Slueth Dog and Fly-fly Freddie who were ex-freedom fighters with a referenced past.
>Uncle Chuck, a friendly robot hedgehog with a backstory I was interested in.
>Sonic references a grotto of power rings that had drained dry.
>Tails references three past issues where characters went on a spirit journey after a milestone, such as Sonic collecting his billionth power ring.
>King Acorn is covered in an Emerald Curse.
>Mysterious characters are introduced, including medieval characters, tribal gods and a legacy of ancient Echidnas.
Everything was basically references to past events, foreshadowing of things to come; and call-outs to pick up side stories to learn more.

It sat with me for years, fueled by media of the years that showed off all the cover art of all the issues (without context).
But, turns out it's all garbage. I happened to pick one of the 5% of salvagable issues in the series that was competently put together; and it is retroactively turned into garbage because everything written is just some canon-breaking bullshit that can't work in a long-form story. Stuff like the walrus character just curing robotisism; characters turning evil or into Robots and back again like there are no consequences; mutliple dimensions opening and collasping again as writers fight to take control of the story.

Can someone tell me if I'm biased about #42 and back me up if that WAS just one of the good ones? #42 is NOT pictured, I randomly jumped ahead to see what the art quality was like as it dropped off a cliff again after #42.

Leave it to the nips to be suckered in by such a brainless piece of corporate shit

Literally every other nation on Earth rejected this thing, but OHHH MUH KAWAII STARU DESU NEEEE
