The Rebooted "Keep Hope Alive" (that the rights can revert back to Marvel) Thread - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 21

Whether or not they'd be a good fit for Disney is another matter.

I'm torn between "cable and satellite are a good fit together and bad with Disney" and "such a great fit it could lead to anti-trust issues in Europe."

 

[Big Bang]

Bingo.
Did you know that Disney is giving IDW a non-exclusive license to make Marvel superhero comics (for young audiences)? That's the second red flag after Kevin Feige successfully asking to have Marvel Studios ripped out of Marvel Entertainment that Iger and the board see problems in Perlmutter's fief that require restructuring of Marvel.
If they pull the Marvel TV studio out of ME by the end of 2019, we might see streaming shows Marvel Studios will actually acknowledge. And Ike will be left sitting with nothing but the right to publish Marvel comics non-exclusively.

The more I see things like this, the more I think it is only a matter of time Marvel Comics is pulled out of NYC to Burbank.

 

[Smurphftw]

Just get rid of Ike.

I can't believe he still has a job. At best he is useless, and at worst he's a major headache.

It will be a great day when he is finally removed.

It will be a great day when he is finally removed.

Maybe his removal can be the main subject in this Keep Hope alive thread, after we get Namor and Hulk distribution

Does that mean he’s given up on FF movies. Sick burn though.

Kinberg is prodably one of the most interesting beings in the world. I'm not even sure he is a human.

"You want audiences to feel that it's not the same movie."

 

[Dark Raven]

KEVIN FEIGE hopes Simon Kinberg is done making "X-MEN" movies.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Should... should we tell him?

He can keep making them in the basement with his iPhone. Quality would be about the same as now.

 

[samsnee]

This is pretty funny.

Sky Hearing on Same Day as Fox Vote Complicates Comcast Bid

How the Takeover Panel calculates that price matters. Comcast has made a separate offer for Sky, valued at 14.75 pounds a share. As the U.S. company is weighing whether to boost its $65 billion bid for Fox, it needs to know how much higher it could go for the Fox bundle without also triggering a higher bid for all of Sky.

The panel recently said Disney’s $71 billion Fox offer would require a Sky bid at 14 pounds per share, and the hearing next Friday is to review that decision after Sky appealed. In a filing Wednesday, Disney acknowledged the upcoming decision and said every 1-pound increase in the offer price for Sky shares would represent about $1.5 billion of extra debt and $60 million of interest costs a year.

The timing of the hearing is unfortunate for Comcast Chief Executive Officer Brian Roberts, who needs to decide before the Fox shareholders’ vote whether to make a counteroffer for Fox.

It’s going to be nearly impossible for Comcast to stage a higher bid for Fox without escalating the price for Sky.

It's officially over!

“Comcast does not intend to pursue further the acquisition of the Twenty-First Century Fox assets and, instead, will focus on our recommended offer for Sky,” the company said in a statement Thursday.

Ahhhh, seconds late.

 

[Abudefduf]

It's over. Roberts has finally thrown the damn towel.
