I predict zero consequences for David Zaslav
David Zaslav’s name will be changed to Max as a punishment
That’s cool, but will the old HBO production style will also be back?
Bring back Real Sex!
No. That would cost money.
Warner Bros has been gutting itself from the inside out in order to return money to investors. This sort of “We only have one switch left, so we’re going to toggle it and tell our investors its making us money” move is what you do when you’ve run out of better ideas.
I mean, I’m in a “global” market (Brazil) and HBO is by far the best service around. Over here they have all the best shows I would want to watch, tons of good animation and all the non-Disney big budget geeky franchises (Batman, Superman, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc). I’ve never heard of a new series by them, but why would I even care? What is there to watch is already more than I need for my lifetime
The title is misleading for those who were unaware of the branding. They renamed the service to just “Max” 2 years ago and are now returning to the name “HBO Max”.
That’s almost as dumb as naming your product a single letter that’s also used as a variable in discussion.
That single letter has very special meaning to him. On every vertex add a perpendicular line going clockwise and you get his favorite symbol.
If you look X in ASCII table you get 88, which represents his favorite phrase often said with the “my heart goes to you all” gesture.
The W factor
Clowns.
They should name it HBO 2: The Max
HBO Max*
Next up: HOBO MAXX
This is a duplicate, but it’s trended so high I’ll leave it up.

Thank fuck, honestly. What a stupid fucking name; took them long enough.
