What if Amazon acquired Warner Bros. Discovery

Amazon.com, Inc. is an American multinational technology company which focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. It also distributes a variety of downloadable and streaming content through its Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, Twitch, and Audible units. It publishes books through its publishing arm, Amazon Publishing, film and television content through Amazon Studios, and is currently in the process of acquiring film and television studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Warner Bros. Discovery, on the other hand, is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate corporation, but also has film, television and cable operations, with its assets including Warner Bros. Discovery Studios & Networks (consisting of the entertainment assets of Turner Broadcasting, HBO, and Cinemax as well as Warner Bros., which itself consists of the film, animation, television studios, the company's home entertainment division and Studio Distribution Services, its joint venture with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, DC Comics, and New Line Cinema); Warner Bros. Discovery News & Sports (consisting of the news and sports assets of Turner Broadcasting, including CNN, and Turner Sports); Warner Bros. Discovery Sales & Distribution (consisting of digital media company Otter Media); and Warner Bros. Discovey Direct (consisting of the HBO Max streaming service). But with the announcement of the Amazon's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, here's an idea I've come up with: What if Amazon acquired Warner Bros. Discovery in late-2022.

Potential changes

 * Warner Bros. Discovery will became a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc.
 * Amazon Studios & MGM Holdings would be folded into Warner Bros. Pictures Group and Warner Bros. Television Studios.
 * MGM and it's subsidiaries would became a label of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, thus New Line Cinema would became an arthouse unit of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, American International Pictures would became a indie unit of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, United Artists would became a genre unit of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, & Orion Pictures would became a B Movie unit of Warner Bros. Pictures Group.
 * The post-1986 MGM, post-1952 United Artists and post-1982 Orion Pictures catalogues would now be owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
 * MGM Home Entertainment would became a label of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
 * Orion Home Video would be revived as a label of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
 * Warner Bros. Discovery will acquire the remaining 50% of United Artists Releasing from Annapurna Pictures, and will be merged with Warner Bros. Pictures 'distribution arm, to form Warner Bros. Releasing
 * MGM Television and it's subsidiaries would became a label of Warner Bros. Televison
 * MGM HD will be renamed as MGM Channel.
 * Epix Entertainment LLC will be sold to Sony Pictures due to Warner Bros. Discovery's ownership of HBO, thus Epix shows that was produced & distributed by MGM Television will be moved to HBO & HBO Max.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire Image Comics, and will be folded into DC Comics.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire Archie Comics, and will become an imprint of DC Comics, thus Dark Circle Comics will be folded into DC Black Label & Impact Comics will be revived.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire a 50% stake in The CW from Paramount Global, thus The WB would relaunch.
 * Some of pre-March 31, 1996 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment library would be sold to Comcast, thus most of pre-March 31, 1996 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment library such as, pre-1994 Castle Rock Entertainment library would be transferred to pre-2010 Castle Rock Entertainment film library & pre-2001 Castle Rock Entertainment television Library.
 * The Pre-1950 Warner Bros Library would be transferred from Turner Entertainment library to the post-1950 Warner Bros. Library.
 * The pre-May 1986 MGM film and television library would be transferred from Turner Entertainment library to MGM's post-April 1986 library, while pre-May 1986 MGM cartoon library would be transfered from pre-1986 MGM Film & Televison library (due to being transferred from Turner Entertainment library to MGM's post-April 1986 library) to The majority of the Hanna-Barbera Productions library, which would be transferred from Turner Entertainment library to Warner Bros Animation Library.
 * 21st Century Film Corporation's Dimension Pictures library would be sold to Lantern Entertainment, which would be acquired by Paramount Global.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire the pre-1974 Rankin/Bass Productions library, The Legend of Frosty the Snowman & Filmation's The Archie Show from Classic Media.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire primary distribution rights to Batman 1966-1968 (Movie + TV Series) from Disney.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would sell Hanna Barbera's Fantastic Four library to Disney and transferred to Marvel Studios.
 * This would allow DC Comics (also owned by Warner Bros. Discovery) to publish titles based on MGM franchises such as The Pink Panther, James Bond, Rocky, RoboCop, Stargate, Hannibal, The Addams Family and Spaceballs.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire North American distribution rights to The Evil Dead (1981) & Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn from Lionsgate, Army of Darkness from Universal Pictures, & Evil Dead (2013 remake) from Sony Pictures.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire North American television distribution rights to Ash vs. Evil Dead (2015-2018) from Starz.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would sell The Fleischer Studios/Famous Studios Popeye cartoons, originally released by Paramount Pictures between 1933 and 1957, Popeye the Sailor (TV series) that was released between 1960 and 1963, The All New Popeye Hour, & Popeye and Son to Paramount Global.
 * Amazon via Warner Bros. Discovery would acquire most of Warner Music Group's assets such as, Warner Records, Rhino Entertainment, Arts Music, Warner Classics, Warner Music Nashville & Warner Music International, while some of Warner Music Group's assets such as, Atlantic Records Group, Elektra Music Group, Parlophone Label Group & Alternative Distribution Alliance will be kept, thus Warner Music Group would renamed as Atlantic-Elektra-Parlophone Music Group.
