I wish I had a better sense for how this would affect the media landscape.

Comcast actually consolidates less of the media market. However, Comcast is into more things than Disney is. It may curtail Disney going into streaming by itself and cutting it's properties from use elsewhere. Maybe.

Prevents Disney's future streaming service from monopolizing more existing franchises. Fox takes more money now instead of getting shares in Disney, preventing it from having any say at all going forward. Assuming it goes through, that is.

I'll be interested in Disney either rebuts or FOX's deal with Disney was too far completed for turnaround.

The biggest issue with this is this means no Deadpool in the MCU as well as the continued languishing of the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises. There's no chance any of these things will be as good as they could be if Disney doesn't win out.

Be hard for shareholders to turn down 19% more money in a bid.

I really doubt they would integrate X-Men into the MCU at this point, and that includes Deadpool.

But Goddamnit I was ready for them to nail Fantastic Four without Fox mangling it.

They would probably just add X-Men to the MCU in a new form with new actors and everything.

From what I heard wasnt Disneys bid in stock rather than cash? So the equivalence in value could work out differently.

Cash is superior than stock.
