Comcast Unveils $65 Billion All-Cash Bid for Fox, Topping Walt Disney's Offer

[The Shadow]

I still don't understand how Comcast's offer can be serious. Comcast already owns NBC-Universal, why would regulators approve them another movie studio and another television network.

Disney might be/becoming a media monopoly but Comcast is satan, so the more they get screwed over the better. #teamdisney #comcastcansuckit

^ But with the sole exception of live-action film, Marvel's characters ARE free to interact in any medium. When it comes to comic books, animation, video games and merchandise, it is Disney that is choosing to downplay or totally snub the characters of the X-Men and F4 pantheons, and they do it entirely out of greed and selfishness. They don’t have to, they want to, because Disney regards Marvel Entertainment’s characters as film assets first and foremost and treats all other media as ancillary platforms for boosting the film franchises.

That’s how much Disney actually cares about the Marvel characters. Greed and selfishness are why Disney has taken to snubbing certain characters in non-film media, and that’s also what’s driving Disney to try to buy Fox. Can you really criticize that kind of greed and selfishness when it seems like the only thing coloring your opinion about the merger is whether you get the outcome that you personally want? Disney has shown that they would sooner cancel a long-running Marvel comic book than potentially give a rival studio’s film any free promotion. Even if that particular scenario wouldn’t arise in the future after this merger, Disney clearly doesn’t care about Marvel’s characters beyond what they mean for the company’s bottom line, so all I can say to that is be careful what you wish for…
