In what appears to be a huge power play for Disney, it seems that they'll be buying out the 21st Century Fox division. The media giant is attempting to bolster its repertoire in order to offer more content when the company gets its own streaming service, to compete with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Disney now owns the rights to certain properties like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Deadpool, Modern Family, Sky TV, X-Men, and the one Star Wars movie that Disney didn't already have in its arsenal; the first Star Wars movie. They'll also get access to Fox's 30% shares of streaming service Hulu, which means coupled with the shares that Disney already owned, they now have 60% stake in Hulu, with the remaining 40% tied to Comcast and Time Warner. While Fox's Rupert Murdoch and Disney's Bob Iger both endorse the deal, it won't be signed and sealed until it passes through the US Government. This does not spell the end for Fox, however, as they will be keeping parts of their empire, such as Fox Sports 1+2, Fox News, and Fox Business Network.

Though it's more speculation than anything, perhaps due to having Disney own some of these franchises, we might see new games created with these IPs, or maybe even remasters of older games, as Disney is no newcomer to allowing their properties to be involved in some beloved games.

First Star Wars, now this? Disney will own everything in a couple of years.

I mean, I don't mind. They didn't seem to f up with SW.

The only good thing I can think of this deal is marvel studios finally having the rights to the x men. An avengers and X-Men crossover would be pretty awesome if they did it. Other than that I hope they let the tv division do its own thing and don't interfere with it, as I watch quite a few fox shows (mainly Gotham, family Guy, and the Orville).

Just what everyone wanted, Disney to pull a Comcast. I don't see this as a good thing, they'll be too powerful lol.

This is media though so how much damage could they do? ISPs on the other hand get bigger so they have less competition for selling the internet 'utility' and they can easily sue and stall any new ISPs.

Simpsons has been shit since season 11 though, how can it get any worse than it already is?

Disney can fuck a cactus.

I still stand by the Simpsons not having anything remotely unique or funny since since 11/12, after that, and all the good writers left, the show just plain and simply sucked ass. Disney taking over is just gonna screw it over.

the latest star wars weren't bad. episode 7 and rogue one were better than episodes 1, 2, and 3

Never liked star wars.
Didn't liked the 80's ones, didn't like the new ones.
Don't care much about all of them.

Maybe they can do it better. SW got better with Disney (and I was one of those who didn't liked the idea)

Disney has been doing that for a lot longer than that.
