My Take

David Zaslav may be the most polarizing executive in modern entertainment, and that is exactly why I cannot look away. He took Discovery public, engineered the WarnerMedia merger, and then made the kind of brutal cost decisions — shelved films, cancelled projects — that turned him into a villain for many movie lovers. I do not love those choices, but I respect the willingness to be hated for a balance sheet others preferred to ignore. The open question, for me, is whether he sees a century-old studio as a cultural trust or just an asset portfolio. His legacy depends entirely on that answer.
