Had FOX not found a buyer they were going to close down the film studio. Had Comcast bought Fox there would also have been lay-offs. It was inevitable regardless of who did or did not purchase it. The people to blame for this are FOX. You have no proof that would happen if Disney hadn't bought Fox. It's Disney's greed to have a monopoly that is to blame for those thousands of people losing their jobs. You don't think the same thing would have happened if Comcast had won the bid? Are you really that naive or is it just the way your brain functions to automatically hate and place all blame in the world on Disney? Your point of view is really warped. It goes way beyond being biased. The way you see it is that Disney bought Fox in some sort of hostile takeover, which wasn't the case at all. I wonder what your reaction would be if Fox just simply shut down, with even more jobs lost. Would you care as much? Probably not. Though you would probably find some way to blame Disney.

Do you have proof it would not? Stop being a blinkered fucktard and do some reading and perhaps also have an idea of what has and does go on in the real world You're the one who's claiming that those thousands of employees would still be fired if Disney hadn't bought Fox so the burden of proof is on you to prove that would've happened. And like I said in my previous post, there's absolutely no proof or any certainty that if Disney hadn't bought Fox, those employees would've been fired. Another deal certainly could've been made that could've saved those employee's jobs. That's happened before so there's no guarantee that those employees would've been fired if Disney hadn't bought Fox.

Instead you just ignored them and repeated the same thing. It's literally like talking to a wall. Fox was going to sell regardless. What do you think happens when companies are sold and merge? Do you think they would have all kept their jobs if Fox simply shut down? Do you think they would have all kept their jobs if they sold to Comcast? You're ignoring everything except what you want to believe. It's pointless to discuss this any further with you.

That's happened before so there's no guarantee that those employees would've been fired if Disney hadn't bought Fox. Not those particular employees,but there would have been lay offs. Everyone with a modicum of sense and knowledge knows that any merger or acquisition of one organisation by another with similar business and assets will result in job losses. Yet another element of the real world you do not seem to have a grasp of. As for giving you proof...why bother. This is not about you caring about these job losses at all...it's about one-upmanship between you and anyone who has any liking or interest in the MCU. Your mock outrage is pretty disgusting and pathetic. YOU DO NOT CARE. Had this deal happened and not involved Disney, and there were job losses, you would not comment at all These losses mean nothing to you other than a little bit of ammo you can throw to try and blemish a studio and/or fanbase you do not like. Grow-up

Yes, goodbye to crap like X3, X-Men Origins, X-Men: Apocalypse, and those shitty Fantastic Four films! Not just talking about comic movies but other major productions like The Martian, Planet of Apes, Predators, Kingsman, Alita, The Revenant ontop of the comic properties like Logan and Deadpool. Fox are/were known to produce more edgier, adult orientated blockbusters relative to Disneys stricter family friendly approach. With the merger this will be lost, no way are Disney going to compromise a winning formula and they dont need to. 1. 'Deadpool' is likely to have another sequel soon. 2. 'Kingsman' sequel is already in production. 3. Fox already ran 'Predator' series to the ground before the merger was complete. If anything, we might get a proper 'Alien vs. Predator' film that fans wanted to see for at least a decade. 4. If 'Avatar' sequels are still being made, then 'Planet of the Apes' films certainly can. 5. 'The Revenant' wasn't going to have such high budget originally. It only went up because the climate change was keep causing snows to melt and they had to change the location. 6. 'Alita: Battle Angel' is good, but not THAT good, and it's certainly NOT better than any MCU films (maybe aside from 'Thor: The Dark World'). 7. Dude, 'The Martian'? That film could easily be seen as "Guardians of the Galaxy: Hard Sci-Fi Edition".

The more I think about this merger, the more I think it’s pretty hilarious how right wing idiots like James Woods are so opposed to Disney right now. Disney just helped make Rupert Murdoch richer, which is good for Fox News.

6. 'Alita: Battle Angel' is good, but not THAT good, and it's certainly NOT better than any MCU films (maybe aside from 'Thor: The Dark World'). I’ve seen a lot of people consider it better than Captain Marvel. I haven’t seen Alita but judging from some clips I’ve seen it shits on CM and a few other MCU films in terms of action.

Yeah, I'd have to say I liked Alita more than CM. I'd put Alita around the same quality as a middle tier MCU movie. |
