Disney would be too powerful and own too many cherished properties. Besides Fox has dozens decently as a movie studio on its own.

First Broadcom and Qualcomm and now this? The fuck is going on with the FTC?

One would think That Disney wouldn't want to associate itself with News Corp.

I've heard mixed opinions on how fruitful the talks are, but I have no problem with Disney taking Fox's stuff.

Make the MCU full of all of Marvel, get the Percy Jackson rights back, cancel a McFarlan show or two....all good things.

The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
