I think if worse came to worse, Disney would just drop their giant mickey mouse nuts on the table and outbid Comcast, but let's hope it doesn't come to that. I've said in the past that I appreciate the X-films having their own voice, but ultimately I want someone who knows what they're doing in charge of that property. I've only liked one X-Men movie (First Class) outside of one offs like Deadpool and Logan.
If Disney wins, I certainly don't want the X-Men movies to play like Guardians of the Galaxy; but I want them to at least be watchable. The Foxmen are 95% garbage so pretty much anything would be an improvement.

Disney already won. Why does Comcast think they have a chance anymore? Because that's not how actual business is conducted outside of your simplistic fanboy brain and in the real world. It's a whole rigamarole, mang. The December announcement was just that -- an announcement. We've still got miles to go. There's hope for the XCU yet!!!!1 |

The language to express your sentiment would be like "I thought Disney & Fox already executed the asset transfer contracts. Comcast would have to buy from Disney, or otherwise it's illegal." Then it would make sense, though it might not be supported by the facts.

Lol good one. Everyone wants the X-men and Fantastic 4 going to Comcast, and only a dumbass would want Disney to get them. Fixed. Only if you want comic book movies to die out. Fox would be a better place for the X-men movies than Universal. And Fox is not a good place for X-men movies. |

Not really. Comcast already put up the larger offer to Fox but they turned it down in favor of selling themselves off to Disney. Disney for all intents and purposes IS the safer and more lucrative choice for Fox, sure they could take Comcast's huge check and party in an ocean of money but it would be short-lived, with Disney that river can grow into an ocean and rise in height as time passes at an admirable rate. A few reasons why: - In today's ever-expansive streaming service market everybody is trying to compete with but few are proving able to stand toe-to-toe with Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. A big reason why some are not doing as well as hoped is because of the cost, it is not likely every possible consumer will be able to afford all these services at once and will have to end up settling for fewer or just one. Disney tried to purchase Netflix last year, but when turned down decided to create their own streaming service which will launch next year - Unlike some companies out there that are doing the same thing Disney already has a VERY big library of movies and television for very different audiences which allows to many options to choose from. By selling off to Disney their films and television programs are now in a potentially winning team which will succeed and probably eat up the competition. Most of Fox's television and movie content is already on Hulu, which Disney co-owns now so they're already in familiar territory as is which makes the decision to sell more understandable from their point of view. - More financial success and support. Disney is making billion dollar hits almost every year, Fox has rarely seen this type of profit, latching onto a winning team gives them more legs in the marketplace. The rest as follows are just icing on the cake, - Bringing new promotional attractions to theme parks. A couple Fox properties such as Avatar have attractions at Disney theme parks already, joining forces increases the chances of creating more that promote their other widely popular products. - Star Wars. Disney owns Lucasfilm, but does not have access to the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequel trilogy, Fox however does and with a buyout Disney can do what they wish with both and create newer material out of them to release to the home video market. - Marvel. The MCU is the king of the superhero movie marketplace right now, its success cannot be overlooked and while Fox has had some success with their own adaptations of Marvel properties before it doesn't seem likely they will be able to compete on a financial level and hold much interest in the long haul. Make no mistake, Fox wants to put out more X-Men related content but there is only so much they can do with their resources, by joining with Disney and incorporating the X-Men and Fantastic Four brands into the MCU it helps both parties by keeping things fresh and exciting for hungry movie goers. People like summers8, DC-Fan, thenewnexus, dennisreynolds, and Tristan can talk smack about Disney and the MCU all they wish, but if Fox went with/decides to be in favor of Comcast, it will not be very good for the company in the long haul - There is little chance they can hold their own for very long with Comcast's assets than they would with Disney's. |

Other part was Singer's sensibilities on the material. Rothman was the reason why Singer left X3 to make Superman Returns. Then you had the crap that was going on behind the scenes on X-men Origins. All the Fantastic Four movies. Elektra... |

That would suck pretty bad. It would be worse after being teased with the idea that the X-men and FF were finally going to be good and we would get Silver Surfer, Glactus, and Dr Doom in the MCU where they belong. At least before we were just resigned to enduring the failed Fox movies and hoping for their occasional nuggets of good ones.
