  1. Means John Cena might leave WWE sooner than we expected

  2. How Awesome! Fresh Woke garbage not to watch! 🤡

  3. PLEASE go back on strike, no-one will miss you.
    Also, even an emotional machine can do a better job at writing good moving stories than you people, so please stay gone.

  4. Was hoping they’d all starve

  5. Thousands of unrepresented Below The Line production workers and IATSE guild members have been financially decimated by having their industry shut down and get nothing. We have paid for whatever the writers get with our savings, credit cards and cashed out retirement. Writers, actors, and the AMPTP have shown the crew on set and in the production office how little they actually count and there is no going back.

  6. Thank God. We need Colbert & Co. back. We need them to make fun of trump sooo much. Can't believe how long it's been😢

  7. I predict that writers who were seeking to block Hollywood from using AI to write scripts, will be caught using AI to help write scripts.

  8. Selfish greedy writers didn’t give a darn about the crews who don’t get paid as much or residuals.

  9. Stop making political garbage thats all

  10. Five months of peace. No insults towards fandoms, no crap shows, no late night ideologues, no reboots, remakes, 're-imaginings', no more despoilment and destruction. Tranquility. Serenity. Please keep on striking into the next century, you weren't missed (because you see, you are not writers at all but talentless activists, woke cult members and spoiled brats). Just leave us alone.

  11. I want season 4 of the Boys so bad 🙁

  12. Lol i wonder how awkward Drew's return will be

  13. The Strike is over? Let's all thank those Hollywood studio executives for giving viewers a brief break from horrible programming. Back to horrible woke TV shows and bad acting.

  14. i was hoping this would last forever. The world is happy when hollypedo is in despair

  15. Those c-molesters are still on strike

  16. Ai ai ai! They have the capability to see all the things media lacks and could maybe even come up with more concepts than the Shakespeare ones you ninnies keep repeating in different forms. You could learn something. Ontop of half of you writers are brain tapping the world for your scripts…..thats what the strike is about….

  17. Just cut my HBO Max subscription and thinking of cutting netflix too. There's going to be at least a 6 month dry period with no new content, so why pay for stuff I've already seen? Not to mention this strike butchered some shows like Winning Time. I get they need more pay, but higher pay is just going to create more inflation. The problem really is that the rich keep taking home higher percentages of the income in this country, and small businesses are getting destroyed right now. No union to bail us out, and when we raise prices to try to survive, people turn to big corporations putting out garbage products because they are cheaper and stop buying. So expect the quality of products to keep getting worse.

  18. How about better writing. They need to promise that in the contract.

  19. Well, thank goodness. Idk what I would've done if this strike kept going….. probably just continued with life as usual since these people have the most unessential jobs on earth yet ACT like they are the most important people on earth.

  20. Who cares those people are so over paid out of touch with reality. We’ve got real problems in the US tell him to go out and get a real job.

  21. Not only are there many problems with the Hollywood system itself, but long-standing bad habits are not being corrected.

  22. LITERALLY Hollywood being on strike changed zero in peoples lives outside of the writers. Their anti white racist pro communist garbage. Tv shows and movies no longer have a relatable plot / message. It’s just garbage anymore and has been since at-least 2014.

  23. . We have YouTube etc, we are getting our entertainment.. all good

  24. Write better! I might care then!

  25. Yet more mainstream media misinformation. Studios delivered best last offer. Either the WGA approves or declines. Don't trust the mainstream media shills, check other sources. Why are all the mainstream media posting to YouTube? Not viewers on their tv stations maybe? YouTube should get free ad time on the networks like NBC, CBS and any of the others that post here.

  26. I wonder who's doing the writing in the meantime

  27. DEMOCRATS: DON'T TAKE THE BOOSTER. THINK. The BOOSTER has NOT been tested for safety

  28. KEEP THE STRIKE GOING!!! DONT END IT!! I got a bet riding on this. If the strike goes until next year, I'm winning 500 million dollars. 😊

  29. I uphold Jennifer Hudson Show/ J Hud Show

  30. Dont ruin what has been, to date, your greatest achievement so far.
    Dont bother coming back

  31. Stand strong don’t give in make them pay

  32. The studio execs have said that they have a final offer, not that they agree to pay the striking workers their demanded wages. I sure hope that the strike goes until most people in Hollywood die. 😂

  33. I'm a Native American writer who has been held out of the WGA. I want to see an end to White Supremacy Elitist control of Hollywood.

  34. Oh goody, More sucky movies!😂😂

  35. writers must have figured out that nobody cares about their strike.. woke hollywood is fizzling out

  36. Most of those shows need to stay off television. They should keep striking because a few shows and movies need to end.
