So basically you're proud of Not falling for some fake guilt trip someone else is trying to lay on them when these layoffs have nothing to do with Disney and everything to do with Fox.
Yes.
Yawn. We all know your severe developmental disabilities preclude you from feeling empathy for other beings. So what? |

You can keep your guilt trip. Not working. Yes we are happy and it's going to stay that way. Maybe you should start attacking DC fans for not campaigning to have other studios take over some of their characters so more movies can be made from DC characters. After all, think of all the jobs that were lost over the past 40 years because WB was only interested in the Batman/Superman family. Some other studio would have been making movies about the Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc long ago. But you won't do that, will you? Yet another fake complaint aimed at Marvel. So basically you're proud of having no conpassion for other people if it means you get to watch a few children's movies. Wow. That's... sociopathic? No my stance is what I said instead of what you just made up. That's called a Straw Man. Pretty obvious what is going on here. This will be a tactic by known Marvel haters for a reason that is fooling no one. I'll believe this concern about "jobs" when I see the same people campaigning for less R rated movies (because they have a smaller budget and create less jobs) and start campaigning for WB to give some of the DC characters to other studios since WB is not creating enough jobs with those DC characters. Until I see that, I know this entire thing is BS. |

Yes.
Yawn. We all know you won't fall for some emotional manipulation over stuff you had nothing to do with. We sure won't. |

FFS, none of this has to do with DC characters. I'm not a fanatic of one side or the other. Just because somebody has a difference of opinion does not all the sudden label them an MCU "hater". I love most of the MCU the same as I loved most of the Fox X-Men movies. DC movies have only produced one film I have enjoyed since Nolan. So by no means am I some sort of hater or fanatic of one side or the other. This is not about sides. But please be quick to try and make it about DC or Marvel because that's all that exists right? I personally don't give two shits what any of you feel about it. I just felt the need to point this out and instead you all turn it into an attack because your feelings got hurt. You clearly don't give a crap if these people lose their jobs. Which makes me believe my original point.
Not all of you are fanatics in my mind so if you felt I was lumping you all together I apologize. I'm not on this board everyday or post 1,000 + times to know each and every one of you. But from what I've seen of a few posters (won't point them out) collateral damage in this does not matter because all that matters is X-Men and FF joining the MCU. The same thing can be seen on Twitter. It can be quite annoying. Also, if you then find this thread or my posts in it to be annoying as well by all means be annoyed.

Like I said before, this is sad for those people who lost their jobs...but what are we supposed to do about it? This would've happened no matter what Disney did. Yes, I have sympathy. But I feel no responsibility. |

Hell, screw it. At this point I regret making this thread in general. Was drunk off my ass when I made it late last night anyways.

In case you didn't know, most mergers and acquisitions that happen between multi-national corporations results in the loss of jobs. The Disney/Fox merger is not special in that regard. First off, I have nothing against you before this somehow turns into some sort of war. Nor do I after. The topic I posted was news. I posted said news and made my own response to it. Seriously, how you interpret it is none of my concern. Fact is, I don't care how the most of you interpret shit. Feel free to think what you think. I'll do the same. As far as I know did I ever state this transaction was special in any regards? I have stated how this was probably likely to happen no matter what. However it does not change the fact that it sucks these people may/likely will lose their jobs. So by all means, turn me into some sort of villain. I don't care. Fact is, I saw an article and posted it with my own response to it. Anything further? I don't care. I'm done with this thread. As I said, I originally posted this thread drunk at what? 2 AM? Do whatever it is that you like. I'm out. |

this somehow turns into some sort of war. ... So by all means, turn me into some sort of villain.... I’m done with this thread. Holy crap, is this a self-inflicted train wreck, or what? 1. You made an ignorant and inflamatory comment in the OP. This is called, being a douche-bag.2. After getting pummeled by a couple posters, you made a half-hearted effort to roll it back, but no one was buying it. This is called, being a weasel.3. You finally blamed it on being drunk when you wrote it. This is called, inability to assume responsibility for your own actions.4. You express wonderment that anyone could possibly take offense at what you said, and fire back. This is called, just plain ignorant.5. You think it’s unfair that people are portraying you as the villain in all this. This is called, proclaiming yourself the victim and begging for sympathy.6. Your solution is to flee. This is called, being a pussy.I’d call this a textbook example of what not to do when you write something that you later regret. Either offer up a real apology and take your lumps ... or dig in your heals and go down, guns blazing. |

Isn't there suppose to be a WB merger? What about all the people that will lose their jobs there? The AT&T thing? I thought that got shut down. The JD is suing to block the merger on the grounds of - you guessed it - antitrust concerns. It may or may not go through. If it does go through, jobs will undoubtedly be lost. All of this so that AT&T can depict DC characters as having AT&T smartphone plans in their respective solo movies. The Flash needs unlimited data because he's going to go through it fast - hope they don't throttle him. And I hope DCEU fans are happy now. Hee hee hee... The AT&T/TW deal, at a mind-boggling 85 billion dollars, is arguably far more insidious then Disney absorbing another entity within its vertical. |
