Once Netflix buys all of these companies, you won't ever be able to watch a WB movie without a $25 netflix sub per month. (and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be.

That's kind of a silly argument. "People are better off paying $100+/month for 4+ streaming services than $25/month for one that has everything."

If your argument were that you'd have to pay more than the current combined cost, it'd be a better argument against mergers. Arguing against something because it's a better deal is just strange.

So essentially less than the cost of two tickets to see a movie in theaters today. The horror.
