The only news I find important is the Fantastic Four movies being in MCU

I concur.

A whole load more stuff for disney to ruin

Pixar's magic is still untouched by Disney. Actually in my oppinnion their best movies were made under disney



Disney is such a monster company now.I honestly kind of hoped that the deal didnt went through, simply because its not healthy for one company to have so much power, even one that I love like Disney.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I wonder if they'll scrap the Gambit movie starring Channing Tatum? :P

Yeah and replace him with this guy:

I'm down with that.  Already looks better than most Fox superhero movies xD

This means Disney’s streaming service will have an absolutely HUGE tv slate.

I can imagine having Xmen back to marvel just sweatens the deal. 

It will be interesting to see how Disney release the Avatar movie slate..

Only worry I have is the smaller FOX studios like Searchlight who might get lost in the transition

Now that they own 60% of Hulu, people think Disney might put its content there instead of making a brand new service.

I doubt it as NBC Universal own 30% of Hulu and Time Warner 10%.

I think Disney want to make a new service where they can keep the whole 100% for themselves.

True

With Fox's 12.92% share, Disney now have a 39.01% market share in NA.

Not that many left to buy honestly:
1. Disney - 39.01%
2. Warner (Time Warner) - 16.86%
3. Universal (Comcast) - 12.50%
4. Sony - 8.07%
5. Paramount (Viacom) - 7.50%



Disney is going to become its own country at the rate theyre growing



I have to ask, but is Disney fringing on a monopoly? I know it technically isn't because competition, but it's getting to that point.



This is disgusting. Horrible day for the creative media industry. But hey at least we get to see some superheroes share the screen for a few minutes.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

Don't forget that they also own Maker Studios (now Disney Digital Network). So in addition to distributing five of the top ten movies this year (and having a major hand in one distributed by Sony), Disney also owns many of the YouTubers who are hyping you up to see these movies.

A pop-culture wasteland of completely disposable content.
