When they inevitably make a marvel dc crossover movie, will it be a sharing situation like disney has with sony over spiderman, or will it be because disney and warner bros merge into one giga-conglomerate?

Hey, remember back in 2008 when WALL-E showed us a ludicrous world where a single company took over the entire planet and made it hostile to all life as we know it and held humanity hostage for centuries with brain numbing distractions to keep them docile? Crazy, right? That could never happen, certainly not by the 2100s!
So Cartoon Network Studios is being shut down/ merged with the Warner Brothers Animation studios thanks the the discovery merger

Showing in infrared wavelengths, this merging galaxy pair is about 500 million light-years away toward the constellation Delphinus. The galaxy merger spans about 100,000 light-years in this deep James Webb Space Telescope image. The image data is from Webb's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). Their combined, sharp infrared view follows galactic scale restructuring in the dusty merger's wild jumble of intense star forming regions and distorted spiral arms

Can we all agree that 2022 is the year of the anti-creator?
Between DeviantArt's negligence, the "cartoon network purge of 2022," and Artstation's silence, we artists could disappear in a decade.
And not just in a "They'll take our jobs" way, our opportunities to get jobs are in jeopardy. "AI art" will render our skills and years of training obsolete.
