It’s not just a money thing. Batman and Superman are getting thrashed by Marvel’s D-list characters. Game of Thrones Season 8 was so bad, it risked ruining a franchise that’s in the same top tier category as Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Speaking of, the Fantastic Beasts series is similarly a massive screw up. To be fair, JK Rowling deserves most of the blame not just Warner Bros. And when was the last time you saw anything related to Bugs Bunny, once the most famous cartoon character (Mario is/was similarly bigger than Mickey Mouse at one point). It’s crazy how the greatest franchises in American history have been fumbled. Not some of the greatest, the greatest.

I completely disagree. Netflix has quantity. HBO Max has quality and quantity. Zaslav is finally righting the ship. The stuff he got rid of sucked, and he's been willing to spend lavishly on quality.

I had HBO Go before this, and have HBO Max now. It doesn’t really matter what it’s called. It’s just servers streaming movies and shows. That being said, I’m assuming it’s going to be called HBO Max. As long as the quality stays high or dare say, improves, I’ll be happy. And HBO, DC, Warner Bros, etc. have been dropping the ball hard. I’m still furious about Game of Thrones Season 8.
