Still have to wait for approval, which shouldn't be a problem, but still not a done deal like AT&T/TW.

Hey you remember when they bought Lucas Film and Lucas Arts and immediately shut down Lucas Arts (otherwise known for consistent quality games) and gave the games to EA who made them suck and then the movies also sucked?

Remember how Logan and Deadpool were these awesome Rated R superhero movies that we're never going to get again if they get incorporated into the MCU?

While it is likely Disney will buy Fox, just because they accepted the bid does not mean that the sale is final.

Think of it like you selling a car to your brother and sister. Your brother offers $1k and your sister offers $2k. You don't want to sell it for less than $5k so you reject both. Your sister then offers $6k and you accept, but you'll sell it to your brother if he ups it to $7k.

Either way, this sucks because there should be more competition, not less.

Comcast's original offer was already going to give them more debt than any other company in the world right now. They're not going to up that bid further. It's possible someone like Apple might step in to buy them but I doubt it.

They wont. Fox doesn't have the rights to FF, so Disney wont be getting that. Constantin Film has the rights to FF.

Comcast could definitely respond. This is a battle of desperation. Disney would have more control over media if they get Fox over Comcast, and with Time Warner now backed by AT&T, they probably feel very threatened by all the acquisitions. Even CBS is getting back with Viacom. So all the major conglomerates will consist of 2 major companies, except for Comcast.

Comcast also doesn't have the IPs for a solo streaming service and they're likely going to be "forcefully" kicked from Hulu after Disney owns 60%.

I am not really too upset. X-Men are a Marvel franchise, so it makes sense for them to be used to their full extent.

The only problem I have is that I do actually enjoy the direction Fox allows X-Men to go in, even if it is a miss at times, but let's not act like Disney is perfect either.

Also, Warner Bros, if they ever get their act together, can easily take a share of the superhero market from Disney. WB still has the heaviest hitters in Superman and Batman, and don't forget how well Wonder Woman did too as she is one of the big three of DC as well. Disney can also go back to early-mid 2000's days tbh just like that one day. Never underestimate how quickly a company can fall from grace.

Once again, this would not make Disney a monopoly as it would still have competition.

Except the original deal that Fox accepted did include the FF.
