Warner Bros removing more Cartoon Network and Adult Swim shows from Max as David Zaslav allegedly eyes $1 billion deal with All Elite Wrestling

It's kind of funny to see that Dexter is being dumped just as Cartoon Network/Adult Swim was going all in on promoting Genndy as one of their great auteurs.  

Meanwhile, Zaslav found something he wants to spend money on.

 

This seems to fit a continuing pattern of Zaslav de-emphasizing animation in favor of sports and reality program (even if the sports are fake).

^ I thought HBO Max would just transform its existing app to Max?

Otherwise, expect a bunch of confused subscribers to bail.

That is what they’re doing.  They’re switching the name.  HBO Max becomes Max.  

Also apparently continuing to gut animation.

I swear I did not wish for that second thing on a magic monkey's paw.

Spoiler

And everyone's thinking "the program removals, right?" but I actually mean "part of this plan involves one show with The Elite and friends and the other with CM Punk and friends, and rarely if ever the twain shall meet."

Come on, Zaslav, put on an AEW program before Toonami! You know you wanna...

And I still won't watch it.  Sick of the shitty booking and shitty video game matches with no ring psychology.  Plus Tony Conman and his fan base are toxic.

I dropped all AEW content, including wrestling dirt sheet and podcast coverage a few months ago.  Removed another stresser that way.  Not a joke.

Always junk the brand you spent 40 years creating, that's what I always say.
