The Hollywood WGA strike is over but that just means they wanted to talk about it, went about as well as you'd expect. But with SAG-AFTRA still having no deal and the WGA having previously promised to continue to support them, all is not well in Hollywood. The strikes have allowed the studios to reshuffle their priorities. Hollywood Studios like Disney have been losing billions since the creation of streaming, now they had the opportunity to cancel bad deals and fire writers that should never have been hired during the boom. So even though the writers have got pay increases and an apparent minimum writers room, with less shows being made in the first place, many writers will have been striking for 5 months only to find out they have no job anymore. When you force pay increases, consequences always come as the money has to come from somewhere. Something Hollywood, is about to find out. But what did you think of the strikes? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they blame the fans, they literally use fans as their escape goats for EVERY time they mess up big time cause we are done with their BS.
I remember when truckers went on strike and I was glued to the television hoping for it to end so that I could go grocery shopping without taking out a loan ... 5 months in to the Hollyweird strike and my quality of life hasn't changed in the slightest. It's amazing seeing so much press about the strike but nobody mentions the fact that nobody cares at all about either side.
Mostly because news programs need some faces saying something - you will find a lot of narcessists willing to put their face in front of camera on the picket lines, but imagine TV crews going around town, intervieweing people who just say they cannot be bothered when they are sleeping in tents cause three jobs aint enough to pay rent.
And yet, you have so many channels glued to this despite 'not caring', and then doubling down on that card when it didn't go the way they want. Funny that!
@@magicmanbran54 - The WGA is the billion dollar corporation compared to the AMPTP and studios? You know, I keep saying that this channel's fans' avg IQ can't be above 3 digits, and you just went straight ahead and proved it for me.
Every single one of these actors and writers have other jobs, they have full-time jobs that pay the rent. The acting gigs, they're like part-time sidelines that pop up once in awhile for extra money. That's a fact. Don't believe this crap that is being handed out by SAG and the WGA.
Haven't watched one since Craig Ferguson retired. I caught Conan from time to time but by the time he was on TBS I'd cut the cord already. Late Night is a dead medium, what idiot thought to bring it back?
Late night proved to be most insufferable during the plandemic. If you weren't over em by then..it is a miracle. Late night is chalk full of talentless hack hosts and writers, they refuse to even make good jokes anymore. Scaredy cats at late night, makes no sense...supposed to be PG at that time.
Honestly I forgot there was even a strike going on. That’s how much it affected my life. I’ve actually been watching old movies and shows, realizing how much better they were ten years ago!
Skip back 20 years, and you'll be able to watch classics like LOST, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, and The WIre. I was rewatching blackadder recently, still fantastic.
@SyndicateOperative lol I hated lost and was happy to never watch it on TV ending in history that was worse and more insulting than game of thrones. I wouldn't waste time on lost. Boardwalk empire was really good.
@@skyevens8756 The ending was fine, people just... somehow failed to understand it. The amount of articles written by idiots who insisted "they were all dead all along", or "oh, they were all alive", is mind boggling.
20 people on a writers room?!! Imagine if De Vinci had 20 immature painters demanding that they want to add their own little work to the Mona Lisa to make it even better.
Been doing that for years, and I don't feel an once of guilt over that cause movies and shows suck nowadays. But I haven't even watched anything in months, that's how little I'm interested in recent entertainment.

We're not the ones coming in here, whining that others don't have our opinion. Grow up. If you like this low brow art by committee, support it by watching it and buying it, because they need your support. The rest of us are more than happy to watch it fail, and deservedly so.@@TychonAchae
Rewatching ‘Stargate Atlantis’ sounds like a great upside to the strike: quality plots, great cast, the return of Carson, organic diversity, no swearing, no ‘modern audience’ pandering, and all the characters got a happy ending. Those were the days. Most of the ‘Ahsoka’ reviews were pretty entertaining to watch, and the associated memes. ‘Shin Hati is overrated’ the mids cry, but she’s got super charisma, a presence I’ve not felt since …
SD-1 will always be my favorite, but Atlantis was very enjoyable. I haven't seen it in ages! The only "Stargate" I didn't like was that universe crap the SyCrap channel put out a couple of years ago. I actually hated it. It looked more like a Wish version of Battlestar Galactica than a Stargate anyways... and even saying that feels like an insult to BG. 🫤
Last week, these "people" were so poor, they were going to have to sell their houses just to put food on the table, and now they're able to afford to get pissed on wine in L.A bars, which aren't the cheapest of places. Something tells me they weren't being completely honest.... 💩💩 🍄
They were still drinking every night of the strike, too. Ask everyone I know in the L.A. service industry. But nobody could possibly cut back on that! Starvation wages, remember?
What really happened... WGA and studios sat down and realized no one noticed or cared they were on strike. So they closed a deal to prevent reality of their irrelevance to society from sinking in.

AI would actually read the source material and accurately adapt it. I can understand why the writers are scared, the audience wouldn’t hesitate between choosing it.
BBee is having trouble writing satire now as the real world is crazier than that. I think that's why they've done a lot of alien videos 👽, but the way the news and govt are pushing aliens and UFOs lately, that's probably going to be real pretty soon anyway.
There's a reason many people refer to the Babylon Bee as "America's Paper of Record". Or the "in accordance with prophecy" variant when some BB headline from years ago turns out to be eerily prescient.
This had zero effect on me or my life. Like yesterday right I did this earth shattering sneeze and fart whilst sitting on a plastic chair at the same time it was a brand new experience for me. The experience was unique and the musical note the chair made from the trapped air was hilarious. This has more impact on my life than the entire Hollywood industry shutting down,
And the end result was likely more entertaining and satisfying than 90% of shows and movies that have come out in the last year, and it cost you nothing. Unless you melted a hole in the chair?
@@Catherine.Dorian. I swear it seems that starting in the 90s there began to begin this increasing creep for reeducation and "updating" for reasons of removing offensive materials. Just a few things at first, but a few small things can start an avalanche. I don't know that we can really identify one root cause or individual, but I remember the push to censor and make less offensive really catching my attention in the 90s when I was in my 20s. I guess I really remember encountering it for the first time when Tipper Gore, wife of Democrat politician Al Gore, went before Congress in 85 to demand record companies put warning labels on record albums over the 'offensive lyrics'. Prince's Purple Rain was the object of her scrutiny, an album whose lyrics seem insanely tame in the modern era of songs like WAP. 😀 But it seemed like the era where concerned conservatives were mocked (I laughed at the Dead Kennedys song 'Moral Majority' which was an attack on the conservative group of the time) led to the era where concerned liberals were uplifted for the exact same demands that their standards be met, and while the Moral Majority failed to get much in the way of government pressure of public condemnation to change the minds of people like me, the modern liberals have successfully managed both to oppress those who don't think like they want us to. It is insane. I don't know who is most to blame, but Lord knows there's plenty of blame for plenty of people. Too bad that we can't mock them into stopping their draconian authoritarianism like we did to their feeble predecessors. ALSO: I'm allergic to cats but I'd happily pay you a fiver to sit in a chair next to your cat and watch it sleep rather than pay some megacorp $25 to have them preach to me about how horrible I am. 😛
@@thatpatrickguy3446 What’s hilarious is went from those morals trying to be clung to into WAP, as you said, hip hop full of drugs and murder, blatant nearly hardcore sex in every HBO show and this huge push of kink and over sexualizing everything (like how suddenly two guys who are even brothers are being romantically linked)
I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money. I can’t wait to watch this legendary fallout
If you ask me. The strike should still be going. Because from the start the studios should have never offered any new deals. Should have just said okay, go broke while we hire all new writers that are not garbage
Don’t lose hope. I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike, but in a worse place than now. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money.

Writers union is predatory afaik, I think it's borderline required to be a member to work and uh, if the union isn't working I doubt they'd let you stick around
The impending closure of so many companies/studios/etc. is mouth watering. The number of people about to be laid off due to their own greed is going to be superb.
I'm just hoping the studio heads have been secretly meeting to go "OK, now every single member of SAG-AFTRA is permanently fired for gross incompetence".
@@Kiljaedenas - Keep hoping. It's amazing the lack of self-awareness this channel and its commentators have when it's bleeding through in their own language.
I know it wasn't meant to be, but I was really hoping the writers' strike would never come to a close. Instead, I wished that the studios would ban any writer with any involvement with the unions from ever working in Hollywood again. Then, they could go about searching more competent writers. You know, like preschoolers who've just learned to read
Have you ever seen what happens when they try to replace writers? The shows consistently collapse because the scabs they bring in are shit lol. Look at Heroes or Lost.
@@michaelwills1926 Thats the thing, it's not the writers who are the problem if it is this bad, it's the producers. Too bad you idiots can't figure this out.
Scab is a real term. About twenty years ago I worked in a non-union shop. I went to work and there was a guy standing outside the door. As I walked by he said, "Effing Scab." I had no idea what that was all about, I didn't know they were on strike, I was just a young guy going to work. I asked one of my coworkers and he said their shop was on strike and told me what a "scab" was. Anyway, if you look it up, it's a real term.
Scab was in use in the UK at least from the 1970s and "strike-breaker" is listed as meaning 4 for the word in my paperback 1997 dictionary (which happens to be sitting on my desk atm). I don't know whether he's trying to be ironic with this "inventing new terms" malarkey. If the OED knew about it 25 years ago, wth?
The word scab, refers to strikers wanting to "bleed" the employer so they can get their demands, a scab stops the bleeding via working for said employer
@eddielombardo That's because they are... The human body cannot properly heal if the scab doesn't form and get left alone. That's why wounds that have the scabs broken or ripped off take longer to heal and often form more scar tissue. Calling those kinds of people scabs is either a gross misunderstanding of the healing process, or an insightful look into the striking process.
@@dragonmaster1360 It's on purpose as a strike would be meant to threaten a factory owner to "bleed out" money in order to enforce demands. It's from the time when the words "workers right" weren't a thing and "human rights" was barely old enough to drink, so pretty understandable that coal miners weren't exactly preoccupied with the possibility to sound mean toward their boss. To be honest those writers make Hollywood bleed money either way.
I will say that it might be the largest increase in 35 years but we have suffered the highest inflation since the 70's so that's not really saying much. I don't have a dog in that fight but just pointing out an uncomfortable truth.
Well considering how much Hollywood has been bailed out by the government in recent years, they are partly responsible for that highest inflation since the 70s…
Writers in the gaming industry: "we are authorized to strike" Gamers:"thank god if you could just hold a strike for like 2 years we might get some half decent games or at least ones that work properly"
Unless it's companies like EA or... whomever is currently crunching their teams. Lol They would still be required to code the game during the strike, and then the story would end halfway through with buggy games and "episode 2" would come out as a DLC after the writers came back. haha /s
Exactly. I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money.

Liked the video. Desparu: Scab is an old term...older than me at least. A Scab is someone who busts the strike to work...if the strike is bleeding out the organization, someone stopping the bleed out by working forms a (is a) scab. My favorite part of the video was that guy saying they saved the film/TV industry...lol. Yes they did, buy letting us see how much more foreign films and TV are. These guys could have stayed on strike forever, even 5-ever for all I care, so long as RUclipsrs, South Korea and India don't go on strike. I wonder if anyone can find out how much Netflix and Prime saw an increase in foreign films and TV shows being watched? As far as TV, don't know anyone who even has cable anymore, sure there are billions, but I don't know anyone.
While the Unions might have cracked a deal with the studios, I would not hold my breath that every picketer ( sorry scriptwriter) will automatically walk back in and continue there contracts, many of these activists will simply not be rehired or retained, many of there contracts are null and void, breached T&C, and perhaps some also breached none disclosures or even studio ethics regards to code of conduct. The studios have held out long enough to technically not have to rehire out of contract individuals, they are under no obligation, but hopefully the studios have identified these individuals that have done the greatest harm within the industry. One thing is for sure many scriptwriters could still see themselves manning checkouts in McDonald’s in the very near future.
They absolutely will be, considering the words from that exec that Disparu quoted. Essentially, "if we have to have a minimum amount of writers that get paid more, we're going to squeeze the most out of them that we possibly can. We'll just have two seasons produced in one year." So, all in all, that'll be _less_ writers producing _more_ garbage, and instead of taking a one year break between seasons written, it'll be two. And let's be honest, how many of them are going to last more than two seasons? These people essentially just railroaded themselves and their industry and they're *celebrating.* The whole thing reminds me of the Canada's on Strike episode of South Park....
Unions have outlived their purpose. It's going to be hilarious when these writers figure out they just spent 5 months striking and now they are unemployed. 🤣🤣🤣 Studios are out of money!
Yeah they will probably blame fans again for not supporting the writers enough but I could not care less about those writers the last years was full of crap writing.
Their old rates, the ones they were compaining about, were $10k a week? What reality divorced planet are these people on if they're complaining about $10k a week?
The new agreement better require writers to actually write quality entertainment rather than just continuing with the preachy drivel they've been spewing for years now.
There used to be a time I went through lists of what shows had come out since the last time I'd done it. I would watch trailers and read summaries. All in an effort to find what new shows and _stories_ I might love. It's been well over 6 years since I last did that. This doesn't make me think I'll be doing it again any time soon either.
Strikes are like a war, minus most of the violence. They’re incredibly destructive: Lives are wrecked. Relationships are destroyed. Businesses may fold. And people are re-evaluating what they have. Or need, or can do without.
The minimum requirements by episode per season strikes me as the studios now saying that instead of there being, say, 20 episodes in Season X with a long winter break for hiatus and holidays, etc, there will just be Season X and Season Y each with 10 episodes, with X being the "fall" season and Y being the "spring" season. Curious how the WGA plans to combat that from happening given that striking is about their only real leverage.
Good point, we already have seen some seasons be released as 2 parters (for example Vikings had their last season come in 2 separate parts and Walking dead also did seasons 10 and 11 have a break around from november to february). So we might see even more of that from this moment forward.
@@samamies88 I think we'll also see them going to 5 or 6 episode seasons, as a way to keep costs down. We will also likely see a rise in Limited Series being about 3 to 4 episodes long, as those usually don't get renewed as they are meant small self-contained stories.
My guess is there will be a maximum eight episodes, and they will release very quickly/all at once, which essentially means that showrunners are lazy and cannot write anymore.
I’ve been viewing your channel for some time now and it’s so great to hear you chip again and again at Hollywood and their blunders. You’ve got a great way of communicating all this. Could you cover shows or movies that are worth their weight in gold and explain what are examples of quality content in the entertainment industry?
I didnt miss them at all... I have been i troducing my kids to 80s treasures. Alien, aliens, big trouble in little china, the last starfighter, transformers the movie, and clash of the titans. Strike? What strike? 😂
Really? Damn. It's only been 1 or 2 days at most since the WGA strike was resolved, and production on (new) TV shows and movies got worse? Damn, how'd they produce new movies and TV shows in 2 days?
@@SuperfluousMoniker - Don't you think you're coping too hard there, little guy? If this is the literal response you're reduced to so that you don't have to admit that you haven't a clue? Go outside and touch grass. You'll feel better.
Sure, they'll have minimums for writer's rooms, and probably have less shows to produce because of this. But nobody said they couldn't use the same writers for multiple rooms.
The only problem I had during the strike was deciding what I wanted to watch from my physical library. Now that the strike has been over, the only problem Ive been having is deciding what to watch from my physical library. Life goes on for me.
What modern television has taught me: Deep space 9 wasn't as dark as I thought it was as a kid, and I should have checked it out sooner. Thank goodness for Pluto tv!
Don't think of the writers & actors strike as a mistake, but as an opportunity! Disney/Lucas Films, the MSHEU & the DCEU are all forced to stop production! For Star Wars fans, go & watch the original Star Wars films, the Clone Wars & the Bad Batch to remind yourselves good entertainment was once around, & can be again!
I restarted SG1 a few weeks ago, on season 5 now and am loving it (again). Sanctuary is worth a watch too (Amanda Tapping and Damien Kindler working together again after the Stargate shows), some of the effects are ropey (to say the least) but the stories are great.
I'm still under the impression that the studios actually played hard ball and the writer strike negotiators determined that if they kept striking that they would get further shafted. I want to see what the deal is that they accepted.
If the person breaking a strike was never part of the striking group in the first place, the dumb prick calling them a scab can go fuck off. Unions cannot dictate what non-union members not contractually bound to them can do.
You can't expect anyone who's anti-union to know what they're talking about. Motherfucker can't even take care of his own damn teeth let alone have an educated take on anything.
Scabbing is an old term going back to at least the nineteen twenties. Aside from that minor bit, good video! This strike will cost the writers more than they will gain.
The studios made the final best last offer...it was the WGA that had to accept or go into a 3rd party arbitration. The WGA folded and we'll see it clearly when we can compare the first offer made months ago with what they accepted.
I wonder how awkward sets might be after this, between writers and the rest of the staff. If you're an electrician working on a set, how happy are you to not work for 5 months, get 0 extra benefits, and have to continue hearing people that make 20x times what you make tell you to check your privilege?
Propmaker here. We already thought actors were a bunch of overrated c***s. If I was one of them, I’d avoid standing directly under any lighting rigs for a while…
man i hate seeing these people bow down to the wga. first of all i hate 99.99% of everyone in hollywood but damn i wish they forced these idiots to be homeless and not being able to buy food so some of them could actually go out and get real jobs that help society.
Love your channel & content. Keep it coming! You nailed it from all the angles, especially fewer episodes = fewer writers. The people who negotiated on behalf of WGA are short-sighted imbeciles.
Don’t lose hope. I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money. Personally, I can’t wait to watch that legendary fallout happen
It's going to lead to massive increases or like when California tried to get rid of freelance workers. It would've crippled Hollywood, a lot of news companies, and affect some trucking, too. I think what's more likely is that WGA and Armpit writers just- won't be hired anymore. Why hire people that come with _so_ many strings attached and are so expensive when you can hire people at half the cost and zero headache?
they burned the looms well done! let's see how this plays out! this will be worth getting the popcorn for (unlike anything the writers have done) best wishes to all
Never forget that the absolute highest priority of any bureaucratic institution is to protect its own continued existence at any cost. The reasons and goals that institution was founded for in the first place are very distant secondary concerns.
_"I think we might have actually saved the Film and TV Industry with this strike."_ ...I'm never, ever going to watch anything these idiots pinch out, ever again
I think the only thing that will happen is that studios will be more conscientious about what to green light and have a more profit focused decision making in it, so quality of entertainment might have been saved, but not the way the writers think will
If they don’t do that and continue with what they’ve been doing, I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money.

The settlement of the writer's strike has really inspired me - to read more books.
I've read more books then any other year as there nothing but shit being pushed. Tell you the truth I'm not going back
Go watch anime or manga, heck, any Asian media.
They are much better than any crap Hollywood is putting out
Rewatching ‘Stargate Atlantis’ sounds like a great upside to the strike: quality plots, great cast, the return of Carson, organic diversity, no swearing, no ‘modern audience’ pandering, and all the characters got a happy ending. Those were the days. Most of the ‘Ahsoka’ reviews were pretty entertaining to watch, and the associated memes. ‘Shin Hati is overrated’ the mids cry, but she’s got super charisma, a presence I’ve not felt since …
I'm rewatching it as well. Very well done in every facet.
SD-1 will always be my favorite, but Atlantis was very enjoyable. I haven't seen it in ages!
The only "Stargate" I didn't like was that universe crap the SyCrap channel put out a couple of years ago. I actually hated it. It looked more like a Wish version of Battlestar Galactica than a Stargate anyways... and even saying that feels like an insult to BG. 🫤
Last week, these "people" were so poor, they were going to have to sell their houses just to put food on the table, and now they're able to afford to get pissed on wine in L.A bars, which aren't the cheapest of places.
Something tells me they weren't being completely honest....
💩💩
🍄
The story of an honest Hollywood writer would be more unbelievable than all of Marvel, Rings of Power, and Disney Star Wars combined.
They were still drinking every night of the strike, too. Ask everyone I know in the L.A. service industry. But nobody could possibly cut back on that! Starvation wages, remember?
What really happened... WGA and studios sat down and realized no one noticed or cared they were on strike. So they closed a deal to prevent reality of their irrelevance to society from sinking in.
Lmao, so much cope from people who 'don't care about the strikes. Honest!" and doubling down on that now that the strikes actually worked out lmao.

So funny that you cited a Babylon Bee headline, and one that's surprisingly accurate despite it's satirical attitude
BBee is having trouble writing satire now as the real world is crazier than that. I think that's why they've done a lot of alien videos 👽, but the way the news and govt are pushing aliens and UFOs lately, that's probably going to be real pretty soon anyway.
There's a reason many people refer to the Babylon Bee as "America's Paper of Record". Or the "in accordance with prophecy" variant when some BB headline from years ago turns out to be eerily prescient.
This had zero effect on me or my life. Like yesterday right I did this earth shattering sneeze and fart whilst sitting on a plastic chair at the same time it was a brand new experience for me. The experience was unique and the musical note the chair made from the trapped air was hilarious. This has more impact on my life than the entire Hollywood industry shutting down,
And the end result was likely more entertaining and satisfying than 90% of shows and movies that have come out in the last year, and it cost you nothing. Unless you melted a hole in the chair?
@@thatpatrickguy3446my cat sleeping is more entertaining then the last five years of Hollywood. I wonder when the actual beginning of this crap was
@@Catherine.Dorian. I swear it seems that starting in the 90s there began to begin this increasing creep for reeducation and "updating" for reasons of removing offensive materials. Just a few things at first, but a few small things can start an avalanche. I don't know that we can really identify one root cause or individual, but I remember the push to censor and make less offensive really catching my attention in the 90s when I was in my 20s. I guess I really remember encountering it for the first time when Tipper Gore, wife of Democrat politician Al Gore, went before Congress in 85 to demand record companies put warning labels on record albums over the 'offensive lyrics'. Prince's Purple Rain was the object of her scrutiny, an album whose lyrics seem insanely tame in the modern era of songs like WAP. 😀 But it seemed like the era where concerned conservatives were mocked (I laughed at the Dead Kennedys song 'Moral Majority' which was an attack on the conservative group of the time) led to the era where concerned liberals were uplifted for the exact same demands that their standards be met, and while the Moral Majority failed to get much in the way of government pressure of public condemnation to change the minds of people like me, the modern liberals have successfully managed both to oppress those who don't think like they want us to. It is insane.
I don't know who is most to blame, but Lord knows there's plenty of blame for plenty of people. Too bad that we can't mock them into stopping their draconian authoritarianism like we did to their feeble predecessors.
ALSO: I'm allergic to cats but I'd happily pay you a fiver to sit in a chair next to your cat and watch it sleep rather than pay some megacorp $25 to have them preach to me about how horrible I am. 😛
@@thatpatrickguy3446 What’s hilarious is went from those morals trying to be clung to into WAP, as you said, hip hop full of drugs and murder, blatant nearly hardcore sex in every HBO show and this huge push of kink and over sexualizing everything (like how suddenly two guys who are even brothers are being romantically linked)
The thing is the chances are this will have an effect on sub costs and things like that. Something has to give
"The law of unintended consequences is undefeated". Great line. I'm stealing it.
If this does result in higher prices for subscriptions(Hulu and Netflix are almost $20 a month now), movie prices, ect. I see a giant drop coming.

I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money. I can’t wait to watch this legendary fallout
You mean Fallout the Amazon series? Lol me too it's gonna be glorious.
We can only hope that paying the writers more will mean the studios go bankrupt sooner.
With the writers quota, I guess we will be seeing a lot of series with 6 episodes per season or less
Fewer shows too

@@mrcliff3709yuuuuup. Monkey paw deal.. should have read the fine print.
If you ask me. The strike should still be going. Because from the start the studios should have never offered any new deals. Should have just said okay, go broke while we hire all new writers that are not garbage

Writers union is predatory afaik, I think it's borderline required to be a member to work and uh, if the union isn't working I doubt they'd let you stick around
The impending closure of so many companies/studios/etc. is mouth watering. The number of people about to be laid off due to their own greed is going to be superb.

And in other news, major studios ship all productions outside the USA...
Considering the quality of foreign-made films...I'm fine with this.
VFX has been getting outsourced more and more. It was only a matter of time before virtually everything else became too expensive.
As a UK stunt actor work is already rolling in
Following this, TV is actually good now!
And pay less.
Scab is a real term. About twenty years ago I worked in a non-union shop. I went to work and there was a guy standing outside the door. As I walked by he said, "Effing Scab." I had no idea what that was all about, I didn't know they were on strike, I was just a young guy going to work. I asked one of my coworkers and he said their shop was on strike and told me what a "scab" was. Anyway, if you look it up, it's a real term.
Scab was in use in the UK at least from the 1970s and "strike-breaker" is listed as meaning 4 for the word in my paperback 1997 dictionary (which happens to be sitting on my desk atm). I don't know whether he's trying to be ironic with this "inventing new terms" malarkey. If the OED knew about it 25 years ago, wth?
It’s obscure outside the labour movement or historical fiction. It’s also still a word that was made up, it’s just older than the writers strike
No it's not, nobody cares
@@teamfossil6312 So it’s an old term. Technically you could say all words are made up, they’re just older terms.

It seems to me that Disparu has a more talented "writing room" than most of Hollywood and all the "late night" shows.

Please oh please don't end the strike.
The word scab, refers to strikers wanting to "bleed" the employer so they can get their demands, a scab stops the bleeding via working for said employer
I keep seeing different origins of the word scab when it comes to union strikes, but scabs to me still come off as a necessary part of healing.
@eddielombardo
That's because they are... The human body cannot properly heal if the scab doesn't form and get left alone. That's why wounds that have the scabs broken or ripped off take longer to heal and often form more scar tissue.
Calling those kinds of people scabs is either a gross misunderstanding of the healing process, or an insightful look into the striking process.
@@dragonmaster1360 It's on purpose as a strike would be meant to threaten a factory owner to "bleed out" money in order to enforce demands. It's from the time when the words "workers right" weren't a thing and "human rights" was barely old enough to drink, so pretty understandable that coal miners weren't exactly preoccupied with the possibility to sound mean toward their boss.
To be honest those writers make Hollywood bleed money either way.
It was also used by CCP to brand their ‘traitors’ during the cultural revolution
I will say that it might be the largest increase in 35 years but we have suffered the highest inflation since the 70's so that's not really saying much. I don't have a dog in that fight but just pointing out an uncomfortable truth.
Well considering how much Hollywood has been bailed out by the government in recent years, they are partly responsible for that highest inflation since the 70s…
We the people destroying the industry may have just saved the industry by getting paid more to destroy the industry! 🤦♀️
Writers in the gaming industry: "we are authorized to strike"
Gamers:"thank god if you could just hold a strike for like 2 years we might get some half decent games or at least ones that work properly"
Day-one release will be how the game is supposed to have been released... for real, when it's 1-2 years of delay XD
Unless it's companies like EA or... whomever is currently crunching their teams. Lol They would still be required to code the game during the strike, and then the story would end halfway through with buggy games and "episode 2" would come out as a DLC after the writers came back. haha /s
Or ones that haven't had their content cannibalized from inception to piecemeal it back for ridiculous prices.
Considering the pay increase is probably not proportional to the quality of their writing, it's equivalent of putting a band aid on a deep wound.
Exactly. I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike.

Liked the video.
Desparu: Scab is an old term...older than me at least. A Scab is someone who busts the strike to work...if the strike is bleeding out the organization, someone stopping the bleed out by working forms a (is a) scab.
My favorite part of the video was that guy saying they saved the film/TV industry...lol. Yes they did, buy letting us see how much more foreign films and TV are. These guys could have stayed on strike forever, even 5-ever for all I care, so long as RUclipsrs, South Korea and India don't go on strike. I wonder if anyone can find out how much Netflix and Prime saw an increase in foreign films and TV shows being watched? As far as TV, don't know anyone who even has cable anymore, sure there are billions, but I don't know anyone.
While the Unions might have cracked a deal with the studios, I would not hold my breath that every picketer ( sorry scriptwriter) will automatically walk back in and continue there contracts, many of these activists will simply not be rehired or retained, many of there contracts are null and void, breached T&C, and perhaps some also breached none disclosures or even studio ethics regards to code of conduct.
The studios have held out long enough to technically not have to rehire out of contract individuals, they are under no obligation, but hopefully the studios have identified these individuals that have done the greatest harm within the industry. One thing is for sure many scriptwriters could still see themselves manning checkouts in McDonald’s in the very near future.
They absolutely will be, considering the words from that exec that Disparu quoted. Essentially, "if we have to have a minimum amount of writers that get paid more, we're going to squeeze the most out of them that we possibly can. We'll just have two seasons produced in one year." So, all in all, that'll be _less_ writers producing _more_ garbage, and instead of taking a one year break between seasons written, it'll be two. And let's be honest, how many of them are going to last more than two seasons?
These people essentially just railroaded themselves and their industry and they're *celebrating.* The whole thing reminds me of the Canada's on Strike episode of South Park....
There is the catch and fine print.. you all get your raise.. but those shows aren’t being renewed.
Gotcha. Monkey paw deal..
Unions have outlived their purpose. It's going to be hilarious when these writers figure out they just spent 5 months striking and now they are unemployed. 🤣🤣🤣 Studios are out of money!
Yeah they will probably blame fans again for not supporting the writers enough but I could not care less about those writers the last years was full of crap writing.
Los Angeles/Hollywood is soooooo WEIRD!!! I am moving out ASAP!
Their old rates, the ones they were compaining about, were $10k a week? What reality divorced planet are these people on if they're complaining about $10k a week?

The new agreement better require writers to actually write quality entertainment rather than just continuing with the preachy drivel they've been spewing for years now.
It wont.
You're out of your mind if you think thats happening
No way. The first announcement after the deal was announced was that they plan on rebooting "The Office". We got a break from woke, but not a cure.
Man I should really apply for it. 14k a week or whatever their deal is to let the 15 other writes write dogwater. That sounds like the life
Zero chance.
There used to be a time I went through lists of what shows had come out since the last time I'd done it. I would watch trailers and read summaries. All in an effort to find what new shows and _stories_ I might love.

Strikes are like a war, minus most of the violence. They’re incredibly destructive: Lives are wrecked. Relationships are destroyed. Businesses may fold. And people are re-evaluating what they have. Or need, or can do without.
The minimum requirements by episode per season strikes me as the studios now saying that instead of there being, say, 20 episodes in Season X with a long winter break for hiatus and holidays, etc, there will just be Season X and Season Y each with 10 episodes, with X being the "fall" season and Y being the "spring" season. Curious how the WGA plans to combat that from happening given that striking is about their only real leverage.
Good point, we already have seen some seasons be released as 2 parters (for example Vikings had their last season come in 2 separate parts and Walking dead also did seasons 10 and 11 have a break around from november to february). So we might see even more of that from this moment forward.
@@samamies88 I think we'll also see them going to 5 or 6 episode seasons, as a way to keep costs down. We will also likely see a rise in Limited Series being about 3 to 4 episodes long, as those usually don't get renewed as they are meant small self-contained stories.
My guess is there will be a maximum eight episodes, and they will release very quickly/all at once, which essentially means that showrunners are lazy and cannot write anymore.
20+ episode seasons are overbloated anyway and typically means its one of those procedural shows for boomers
@@deadwingjockey7642 The UK has been doing that model for decades - 6 episode series, with one or two writers. Much cheaper.

And somehow, every terrible TV show and movie got even worse.

Don't think of the writers & actors strike as a mistake, but as an opportunity! Disney/Lucas Films, the MSHEU & the DCEU are all forced to stop production!

"We'll get paid more! What do you mean writers will most likely get hired based on merit like they should? What's next, less job openings?"
I restarted SG1 a few weeks ago, on season 5 now and am loving it (again). Sanctuary is worth a watch too (Amanda Tapping and Damien Kindler working together again after the Stargate shows), some of the effects are ropey (to say the least) but the stories are great.
Oh yes, hard agree. My family's been rewatching it, along with Star Trek and NCIS, for a while now.

To be fair, 'scab' is an established term, being someone who breaks a strike.
If the person breaking a strike was never part of the striking group in the first place, the dumb prick calling them a scab can go fuck off. Unions cannot dictate what non-union members not contractually bound to them can do.
You can't expect anyone who's anti-union to know what they're talking about. Motherfucker can't even take care of his own damn teeth let alone have an educated take on anything.
It's predates Hollywood by decades. Don't get why it's treated as brand new.
Scabbing is an old term going back to at least the nineteen twenties. Aside from that minor bit, good video! This strike will cost the writers more than they will gain.
I'm surprised the studios caved. Sad. Was hoping this strike went on for another 2 years.
The studios made the final best last offer...it was the WGA that had to accept or go into a 3rd party arbitration. The WGA folded and we'll see it clearly when we can compare the first offer made months ago with what they accepted.
I wonder how awkward sets might be after this, between writers and the rest of the staff.

...I'm never, ever going to watch anything these idiots pinch out, ever again
I think the only thing that will happen is that studios will be more conscientious about what to green light and have a more profit focused decision making in it, so quality of entertainment might have been saved, but not the way the writers think will
We can always hope.
Like Disney actually cared how much money they lost for the past few years.
If they don’t do that and continue with what they’ve been doing, I get the feeling that within the next year or so, we’re going to be right back where we started before the strike. People will continue to reject Hollywood’s garbage in favor of other entertainment, studios will continue to lose millions (only at a faster rate this time), and writers will finally realize that a pay increase doesn’t mean shit when the studio they’re working for fires them due to not making enough money. I can’t wait to watch this legendary fallout unfold
JMS wrote 92 out of 110 Babylon 5 episodes. If this were in todays world he’d have 200 people sat behind him in the writers room pitching ideas for lesbian mutant time travelling donkeys.
No more Strike Force Five? Oh no!
😉😁😎
It doesn’t matter
They got what they wanted and they will continue to put out trash
And benefit from it
i cant wait till they get "out Bidded" and blame anyone else but them
Speaking as someone currently rewatching his way through SG-1, I’d actually enjoy seeing your review the series
The writer's are ridiculous
I really think there should be an Audience Strike now.
Legitimately bummed out the strike didn't go on well into next year. Hollywood needs an enema and I was really hoping this was it.
