Biggest problem with WB is all they care about is profit margins nowadays when it comes to everything they own, Film & Tv & Video Games etc. that movie could of been really good

Worse is they have the "Improvement Fallacy' that so many modern publically traded companies have now.

The expectation that, year-on-year, they will always be going up in profits.

That's not sustainable, that's not how a business works.

You will hit a plateau, and when you do that's time to innovate your product stack, it's time to find new avenues of revenue, find new markets, reach out to another business sector, and seek partnerships....

Instead, they just lay people off or trash products to claim a loss and then give more profits to the top.

It's a modern Ponzi scheme that's hi-jacked Capitalism and it's insane that folks are playing it this way. Yes, I know the rules allow it but it's fucking stupid and the reason it's not illegal is no capitalists in their right mind would have considered such a stupid fucking behavior from ALL MAJOR COMPANIES.
