"It also means FX, FXX, and more will be under the aegis of family-friendly Disney. It’s not unheard-of for the Disney brand to acquire edgy content (it has a 20 percent stake in Vice, for example), and it has utilized its different shingles in the past to put out harder fare—it was the Disney-owned Miramax that released Pulp Fiction—to profit off R-rated material from an arm’s-length distance. Presumably, the more arthouse-oriented Fox Searchlight film wing is hoping it currently falls into a similar category. But it’s also not unusual for Disney to water down film and TV to make it more accessible to the Mickey Mouse brand. Now that its deal with Netflix is ending, can anyone imagine an equivalent version of The Punisher being produced for a streaming service explicitly identified as “Disney”? “Just look at Marvel!” is not a good counter-argument, either. Just wait until the first Marvel bomb, then see how hands-off Disney remains."

Look, we all want to watch Avengers and X-Men fight, but this Disney-Fox merger still sucks


As LONG as they let Donald Glover The Gawd continuing to do whatever the fukk he wants and doesn’t taint Atlanta then I’m good:ufdup:
