The Negatives of Disney Buying the Majority of Fox

[MartyMcFly]

Great post. People just don't care until they paying $30 movie tickets

Ugh. Depends on how draconian they want to be. If anything it may bring tierd pricing. A blockbuster may cost more than a smaller indie or a smaller budget flick. But how does that work with something like Deadpool? Deadpool doesn’t cost much to make but makes a lot of money. So would they charge the same for that as they would Star Wars?

Hidden Colors?! Freudian slip much?

Hidden Figures lol

Disney aint gonna fund no Tariq Nasheed project. They one of the most companies out there. Don't let Black Panther flick fool you, cause Perlmutter didnt believe that it could exist in the MCU until he left and Marvel had to put other characters in Cap 3.

But enjoy your limited choices in variety and higher ticket prices and forced reviews. Guess fascism tastes like sugar if blinded enough.

Disney wasn't gonna do a lot of things until yesterday. Please stop trying to predict the future.
Where did you get that information about Perlmutter regarding BP? I never heard him, Feige or anyone say anything about his involvement. You got a link?
Instead of sulking about something neither of us had anything to do with, yes I will enjoy the content I have interest in that they provide. So will you, so all the posturing like this ruined your life is confusing.

A lot of film sites have laid out the pros and cons. Slash film did a great pros and cons back and forth if anyone wants to check it out.

But ultimately it all comes down to less choice and less variety. Monopolies are bad ideas because they hurt consumers and the people involved in one way or another.

So like someone already said, there’s just less choice and the threat of homogenization. WGA west already sent out a letter saying how pissed they are about this. For them, it comes down to one less place in town meaning less leverage for them to negotiate solid deals as writers. Which leads to less work or people just taking whatever work they can get.

Another potential issue is directors with original ideas (the ones this board always screams they want) will have less of a chance to do that because of Disney is controlling the release calendar with blockbuster after blockbuster, universal and Sony and paramount may feel pressure to play the same game. So we could see a lot more remakes and reboots and movies based on existing IPs rather than original shyt.

Then there’s the theater chains. If you live in a town that doesn’t have an AMC or cinemark or the other big theater chain, there’s a chance they’ll shut down. Disney is already asking theater chains for a crazy amount of the gross for their movies and smaller theaters just can’t afford to pay that. That’s why ticket prices go up and concessions prices are insane. So yeah those prices could go higher which means we’d be fukked in the end.

And in the same vein more big movies on screens means less of other movies. A lot of good horror flicks don’t have the budget or muscle to compete with something like Star Wars. So now those horror flicks could be on less screens or play in theaters for a shorter amount of time. Or just skip theater all together. Which would also suck.

And that’s just scratching the surface. There’s a lot of potentially bad things that can come from this once the smoke is clear and like @Muad'dib said, the industry didn’t want this

basically this... but all these idiots online care about is the x men..

no way this should be allowed... buy your comic characters and move on. dont have to buy the entire shyt and fucc up the system

Exactly. Now Simpson's and Family guy owned by Disney

Writers and upcoming actors from independent films virtually have no shot now. People getting paid less.

 

[Benefited]

Relax guys,they'll just expand as they will be making fist full of money with the new Avengers/X-Men teamups

And here's Deadline right on cue

There’s Some Scary Movie Math Lurking In The Disney-Fox Deal

 

[Ironman]

As long as I have my all of X-mens

The reality is a lot of shows getting canceled so the actors and staff gonna be outta work.

There will be fewer opportunities for new movie scripts. If Disney don’t like ya script pray another studio does. They could easily blackball anyone

Everything will be family friendly and corny

They gonna be able to pay actors whatever they want.

The fox properties are for streaming and will be on Disney app.

This off top. It’s prob some more shyt. The industry needed this not to happen

This is definitely a good point especially for writers, up coming directors, or sctors

I don't think Apocalypse was bad the same way Origins and the other truely bad CBM movies are, just mediocre in every way.

All the xmen films were horrible other than xii, and xii was only good because before they botched x3. It felt like they were going to make the xmen a high quality amalgamated product from the source material. Instead we got complete bullshyt and their ineptitude is why they no longer own them.

Real talk,....
If Jim lee can sell like two million xmen books in one month. What was so hard for fox to make a billion off one xmen movie. It is because fox is a racist inept propaganda company. Like real talk, how is a racist gonna own a comic book company property strictly about equality.


fukk fox, and that bicepless mouse tho. Real talk.
Both some racist gay cross dressing weirdo based ass companies.

You think Indy movies will be on the come up even more?

no, because netflix is gonna sooner or later become what youtube is/was or gonna be and regulate indie film makers.
into being some yahoo with to much personal time and no capital building space, who happens to the same camera as everyone else.
where eventually the movies and anything of interest soon loses value because of low quality and oversaturation.
coupled with the fact, film is the most profitable medium. the large film companies have worked to make and politicize the ability of a grassroots anything to be able to compete.
that sooner or later, everything will reach critical mass from over saturation and a lack of actual quality and no return because of the lack of any real quality being politicized completely from and out of the medium for anyone to ever attain it again.

plus the fact, the large companies are going to become a monolopy and a monolith and soon cease to exist.
simply because they don't really know how to make large blockbluster anything anymore in real sales.
to generate the profit to continue operating since stripping the workforce and not making large corporations into social building institution like they should be in the grand scheme anyway.
plus, no one has any money past failed large marketing dollar giveouts, or "marketing money".
so eventually once companies have to realize their fake false profit on paper scheme is no longer working from stripping the workforce.
there will be no interest in film or media largely in any more like that because the lack of return in sales for them will make them go away.
or the government will have to reterraform everyone like they did once before but can not because technology has discontinued any ability or wiggle room to do such a thing.
which is why things were stressed to be done with full equality and transparency. which would result in quality.
now, that those things are politicized past the point of no return.
there will cease to be things left to buffer society from the realization of the impending economic slavery.
that they are being forced to be under because of greed.
that soon survival will kick in and all things will go awry.

People forget what Walt Disney was.

One giant step closer to fascism, but they use Marvel characters to shield the massive injustice that Rupert Murdoch just pulled off.
