Future of Paramount+ among merger talks

[Quinton]

We literally knew those job cuts were coming to the tune of $2b+ for months, Char, and they’ll be targeting alleged redundancies, not people named Alex Kurtzman. Secret Hideout either will, or will not, get a renewed contract. But it won’t have anything to do with this.

Yeah, I’m just gonna go ahead and assume your intent, lol.

Is that another Yang Worship Word™?

But only for charts.

Good. Then it’s only to be written and not SPOKEN!

Every Sunday my best friend and I get together and discuss a wide range of topics including entertainment. Mission: Impossible and its future at Paramount Skydance came up. One of the ideas was a return to TV and the "heist/con" format. We felt MI should follow the lead of shows like Fargo and True Detective with a season long plot and a new cast each season. Maybe keep Phelps as the "chess master" for each team assembled. With the seasonal anthology format it might even attract some top talent as Fargo and True Detective did. They key is developing the target, the heist/con and building suspense.

Wonder if it'll be as bad as their attempt at HALO?

(Probably not, as CoD is just you're average military shooter. It's not like that genre is hard to do.)

I liked HALO. Of course, I've never played the game.

Halo rocked and I played the game, read the books and watched the various shorts.

It was like that in the beginning. I'm not a gamer, but that series has a lot of cool subtitles. Like 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III' or this year's 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.' Modern Warfare takes place in the present day, while Black Ops takes place in the future, offering a pure science fiction story. So, the first Call of Duty games were World War II-themed games that could be simple and cheap to adapt. The current ones aren't like that. If they're going to adapt the first games, it's easy. They'll do it cheaply. If they're going to adapt the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series, they'll have to shell out a lot of money. They've also started casting some pretty big names in the latest games. In this year's Black Ops 7, they're bringing in some more "well-known" TV actors who have also appeared in movies, like Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka, and Michael Rooker. Years ago, they cast Kit Harington in a game.

Of course, I have to say that every COD game is a military shooter game, but they haven't made a World War I or World War II game since 2007.

They actually did make another, in 2017, with (the aptly-titled) Call of Duty: WWII.

Not to diminish your points or anything. I’m a gaming journalist by trade, so I just had to chime in, haha.
