Essential HBO MAX Thread

[pete clemenza]

Apparently the old HBO ppl who are still there never wanted HBO to be apart of the name for the streaming service. They felt like it cheapened the HBO brand. It makes sense, HBO is known for quality shyt, you got movies like Batgairl, House Party and shows like Pretty Little Liar attached to that name.

I definitely get that but HBO is the name and brand that people have trusted for decades. You take that off their big steaming platform. which is supposed to be for the future of Warner and HBO, then it seems that you're still reliant on cable and satellite to keep the HBO name prestigious which is a backwards move. Disney won't change its name to Pixar+ because they have to take the company, its name, and brand into the future. HBO is a great classic brand but its not too good for streaming. They had their fare of sh*t shows and movies just as much as the next company

But this service isnt just Warner Brother/HBO stuff. It includes stuff like all the reality stuff from Discovery, it makes no sense to keep HBO in the title.
Even before this Discovery merger, by your logic it shouldve been called Warner Brother+ or something. Not HBO max, because it wasnt just HBO stuff on there. In house "Max" was treated as a separate entity than HBO.

shyt is wack. I'm glad I locked in my year at a discounted rate



Variety says current subs will have the features of their current plans for at least 6 months after Max is launched



So Zaslav, I'll be hanging on to that 4K Dolby for a while longer ya bish

 

[Nero Christ]

Everything about Zaslav screams white guy with no ideas...just filling a spot looking to maintain quarterly earnings

 

[Ziggiy]

man fukk

With this and the Dunk & Egg GOT spinoff alongside a new season of The Last Of Us WB just guaranteed themselves that no matter how dumb the merger/name change looks on paper that they’ll be SCORES of subscribers for years to come.


Harry Potter alone about to CRUSH the buildings.

I pay for the HBO Max ad free 15.99 currently. So looks like I get more content with the Discovery stuff, for the same price. I have no problems with this. I may end up watching a lot of discovery stuff too. I used to love the id discovery stuff years ago

Except anything not produced by HBO and strictly for the streaming service was already labeled MAX Original

The Sympathizer looks hard af . Might be some fine ass Vietnamese women in there too




Jodie Foster vs Kate Winslett Emmy race is about to be crazy af



They NEED to bring Perry Mason byke for season 3 too

 

[RennisDeynolds]

JK Rowling the most untouchable person on the face of the earth . She about to get even MORE RICHER and quadruple down on her stances



Trehs out here looking like the Mr krabs meme stuck between hating her and picking which house the sorting hat would place them in



Rebooting HP is a great move tbh. Younger kids are not gonna be messing with those old movies soon enough, need to keep the cash flowing to the theme parks amd merch

For a while warner brothers owned six flags but I don't think that a thing anymore

I'm talking about Harry Potter World at Universal breh.

They gotta keep the fanbase growing and flowing to keep that open and keep selling merch

Yea, but it's under the "HBO Max" streaming service. Most ppl didnt know what "Max Original" meant. If the nikkas in charge dont want the name they built for decades to be associated with stuff that will hurt the brand, I dont blame them

The people in charge didn't have a fukking clue what was going on tbh

Then they handed it over to zaslav to run it into the ground

Time Warner was the parent company of Six Flags Theme Parks from 1991 to 1998, when they sold the company to business partner Premier Parks (now Six Flags Entertainment Corporation) to relieve debt. Warner Bros. remains the biggest business partner of Six Flags.

They didnt "hand it over" to Zaslav. They didnt have a choice. Discovery bought WB, not the other way around.
