I feel Comcast will win

I'm gonna keep the hope alive that they won't, there's not much else I can do.

We're gonna find out about the AT&T deal soon, I'm hoping they lose.

How long does it take them announce the verdict...is it straightaway at 4? Or do they make you wait?

AT&T-Time Warner Ruling: Which Stocks Stand to Gain, Lose From the Judge’s Decision


Giving up Sky could stall Comcast off but I know Iger really wants Sky. Can he sacrifice Sky to Comcast in order to save the deal with Fox?

He may have to decide soon.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

The main things I want are Simon Kinberg fired and the X-Men rebooted. If Comcast does that and proceeds to make good films afterwards, I'm fine with that. But there is a noticeable drop in quality the more Kinberg is involved in a film. He has to go.

 

[The Infernal]

All I care about is getting the X-men and FF in the mcu, but mainly the X-men. I'd hate to see it come so close only for it not to happen. I'm more interested in seeing what Feige has planned for the X-men than I do anyone else.

Same. It's a dream come true for not only the fans but Feige himself. The complete Marvel Universe sandbox for the MCU to play in. It's sooo close. I try not to think about this whole thing throughout the day because the thought of Comcast ruining it makes me very depressed and sad. At this point- I want whatever's going to happen to happen

I'm the opposite...I personally can live with never seeing the X-Men again...the F4 have never gotten the REAL cinematic treatment they deserve...bring the quartet home, Galactus and all of his heralds, Annihilus, Mole Man, and most of all DOOM...The MCU MUST receive them at all cost...

Judge's ruling being handed down. No electrical devices allowed in court room. Decision will get out soon.

Yup, and they can't leave until the Judge has finished giving his ruling.

Never would I have ever guessed I'd be so nervous for something like this.

I will working so if they decided please someone send me a PM that we won or not...

I’ve almost run out of fingernails to chew on....

If I had any faith they'd do it right, I'd be fine with Universal doing the FF (I'd rather see everything merged with the MCU, but that's not a deal breaker).

But I don't have any reason to believe they'd do any better than Fox. Marvel is the only one who has consistently made good Marvel films that demonstrate a knowledge of and respect for the characters.

Universal would have a HUGE job selling me on the idea that they really know what they were doing and would do the characters justice.

 

[Big Bang]

AT&T seems to have won.....

EDIT: CONFIRMED

 

[Crimz]

 

[Orba]

Then the bidding war will start tomorrow.

 

[Big Bang]

Brace for impact. Comcast inbound.

 

[Big Bang]

AT&T wins. No conditions.

 

[Marvel united]

Oh ****......

 

[Big Bang]

Waiting on word if DOJ will appeal. Comcast will bid tomorrow.

AT&T prevailed in a legal battle over its proposed acquisition of Time Warner, as a federal judge ruled in favor of the telecom giant on Tuesday despite the federal government’s opposition.

The decision also signals a likely green light for more and faster media consolidation, most notably potential competing bids for the media assets of Fox (FOX, FOXA) from Disney (NYSEIS) and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), and bids for European broadcaster Sky (OTCQX:SKYAY) from some permutation of Disney, Fox and Comcast.

AT&T had previously indicated that with the lengthy time involved in the deal, it was prepared to close quickly if it got a clear go-ahead in this case, so we expect to hear details very quickly.

Updated: Judge Leon has also said he would deny a stay on the deal if requested by the Justice Dept., meaning that even if DOJ appeals, the companies are free to close. That could discourage an appeal entirely.

I can’t imagine Universal doing worse than Fox has done. After the Fan4stic debacle the only way you can now is go up. Seeing as it’s a low bar since the FF have never have a good film worthy of the brand it really won’t be hard at all to make a Fantastic Four film better than all the ones on the past(that’s not saying much obviously) but FF started Marvel and out of all the properties that Marvel doesn’t have access to the Fantastic Four is a must-have IMO.
