**ITS OFFICIAL** Walt Disney buys 21st Century FOX

[Bryan Danielson]

Yeah sorry folks but I don't want Disney to get this either. Comcast sucks as well but Disney are just too full of themselves, Marvel to. I see that they know their formula is successful and they'll just keep repeating it. I'm not with the keep building up to them big "events".

And what formula is that? Create a person, who happens to have some type of superpower, struggles with the responsibility of it, faces a loss or challenged by an antagonist, loses, regroups, the antagonist then plans to do something more sinister on a higher level and the hero must race to stop him before its too late, then he ultimately wins?

So basically the action adventure protagonist vs antagonist formula right?

What in your opinion is a better formula to tell these stories?

Man if Comcast stops Marvel from buying back X-men and FF movie rights its just more undeniable proof that we're all living in the darkest timeline.....

The government needs to make Fox sell their assets off separately, because it's too much for either Comcast or Disney to have all of it. It's actually quite wild...

This I agree with.

I don't really want Disney to get Fox but from what I've read of the Dark Phoenix plot leaks then the X-Men franchise will be in better hands with Disney.

I want Marvel Studios to get it but I also want it to be separate from the MCU.
And ideally I would love for this to be a dramatic TV series but to do it well FX need vast improvement in that medium which isn't coming for decades. Superhero shyt requires the best of the best FX wise.

Yeah the MCU is way to established to introduce mutants/the X-men into it at this point. Maybe the X-Men could exist in another universe where the X-Men are the only superheroes around and could be brought into the MCU by Dr. Strange for major threats like Galactus, the Beyonder, etc.

I would love a X-Men tv series! So many stories can't be properly told in a two hour movie. Could have Dark Phoenix saga take place throughout the entire season. The Mutant Massacre take place over several episodes and so much more. It would be expensive AF but Disney has the money so they could make it work.

Yeah exactly, their best arcs would require hours of time so yeah a TV show would be best. But maybe they could do like the MCU and just make a huge arc over different movies.

Disney’s Bid on Fox Is Reportedly in Serious “Jeopardy” Thanks to Comcast

If you are one of the many hoping Disney gets its hands on 21st Century Fox, then you need to school your excitement. A new report indicates that Comcast’s choice to outbid Disney with an all-cash offer has put the entire deal in serious jeopardy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, analysts at Wall Street say there’s a real reason to worry about the Disney-Fox acquisition. Richard Greenfield of BTIG says that Rupert Murdoch, the man in charge of Fox, is a businessman through and through. He wants to do the best business with the highest bidder, leaving Murdoch to negotiate with Comcast’s $60 billion bid.

Last month, fans learned that Comcast wasn’t ready to give up on its Fox desires. The company confirmed it was preparing a superior bid to the one Disney made. As it stands, Disney has agreed to purchase Fox for $52.4 billion, giving the media conglomerate all of Fox’s film and TV studio IPs. The deal would also rollover Fox’s interest in the Sky network as well as a few TV stations.

Of course, many fans felt the Comcast deal would be looked over in favor of Disney’s clout, but that may not be the case. Greenfield is warning fans that Murdoch just wants the most money for the assets Fox is about to part with.

"Rupert, like his shareholders, are now fully aligned and simply want the best possible outcome, meaning the most dollars, whether that's cash or cash and stock." Greenfield told the digital news service Cheddar. "Rupert Murdoch is not set on selling to Disney. This is a real opening for Comcast to come in with a very significant premium bid to where Disney is now."

With Comcast said to be offering about $60 billion for Fox, it is up to Disney to make a decision. The company could either walk from the deal or make an even better offer. Last month, CNBC said Disney is looking to offer a “significant cash” deal to one-up Comcast if need be. With so many assets at Fox at stake like the X-Men and Fantastic Four, Disney seems determined to get its hooks on a bid Murdoch just cannot refuse. Speaking with Variety, one analyst Michael Nathanson said there's no way Disney will readily walk away from the opportunity in front of them.

"I don't think there's a break point for these guys to walk away," the analyst said. So, the ball is in Disney's court as of right now.

If Disney just got X-men and FF I'd be all for this merger let Comcast handle the scifi side if this really goes down.

Kinda liked the X-Men and Deadpool with Fox.

Sure they had a few duds, but so did the MCU.
Loved the Raimi Spiderman 1&2. More than Homecoming.

Kinda like the way things are now, but can see why diehards want everything in one home. But with Disney having all that power?

MCU is good for the leftover characters they made megastars.

I think the MCU definitely could do something with the Fantastic Four, and especially DOOM though.
