On one hand, Disney/Fox purchase would allow 'Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope' and 'Fantastic 4' to be owned entirely by Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios respectively, completing remaining pieces of puzzles.
On the other hand, I'm not quite sure if I want 'X-Men' to be rebooted entirely (although I DO welcome 'X-Men' universe existing as an MCU MultiVerse, which is now possible thanks to 'Doctor Strange') and I don't know what will happen to 'Alien' and 'Predator' series and Blue Sky Studios. |

They're just movies. It's really not worth the anxiety or headache to spend your time wondering how it will work out in the end. People who are rich now will become richer and they will all continue to make movies. Some of them will be good and some of them will be bad. It makes more sense to worry about the fact that one day some corporation may be able to literally buy America at a cut rate.

If you want a return on such an investment buy China. Or India. #teamcolden |

I've been wanting the X-Men to be rebooted for years. It's been paining me to watch these major storylines get wasted when there's no real direction to the narrative. |

Blue Sky might get their groove back.

Deadpool is safe from being rebooted. He can just break the fourth wall, and he'll be good.

Except that the first part you claimed was irrelevant and demanded a certain stoic diffidence could legitimately lead to the second thing you said "makes more sense" to worry about. Make no mistake, and all joking/"partisanship" aside: Disney acquiring Fox does represent a paradigmic shift in the industry that could lead to tangibly unsatisfying results for consumers. |

It makes more sense to worry about the fact that one day some corporation may be able to literally buy America at a cut rate. ...And that company may be Disney! They certainly control the minds of children already. But aside from all that what worries me is if Disney owns that much of the market share they may start to dictate how things will be in the industry altogether. If they say jump the industry will most likely just go ahead and jump. That's not good for the industry, and its not good for US, the audience.
Look at the effect just one monster movie like Avatar had on the industry: 3D blew up, IMAX blew up. digital screening blew up, and in order to pay for those theatres started charging more. And that's the effect of just one movie! Imagine an entire studio!
Let me give you a quite plausible scenario: If they say ticket prices should be 20 dollars then that's what will happen. That'll suck for theatre goers (I currently pay $8 -$11 near me, and in NYC its $14 a head on average!). If the theatre chains say "no, that's too expensive", then Disney will only put out their movies at the chains that agree, or only the ones they own.
The audiences who want to see Star Wars, MCU, Disney Animation, Pixar, and now the entire FOX catalog, including the X-Verse, in theatres will have to pay the 20 a head, or they wont go at all and wait for dvd. But their DVDs will be higher priced too, so they'll get us there. Other companies will sell their DVD higher too because"Why not? If Disney can do it, so can we!"
In the meantime the theatre chains that don't go along with the plan will start to fall because they don't have the best movies, and the theatres that DO go along may also fail because its too expensive to go to them. And forget about independent theaters. They're already falling NOW.
Its a domino effect of no good. This isn't a slam on MCU. Its a slam on Disney have too much industry share and becoming a kind of monopoly. And before we forget- they own ABC, Disney Channel, and a streaming service coming up too! Its too much!

Well...there hasn't been a good Predator movie since 2010 and a good Alien film since 1992.
And the only thing I've truly ever LOVED from Blue Sky since the very first Ice Age movie has been the Peanuts Movie.
