Good news. This will finalize Mexico’s approval, right?

 

[Darkprime]

Am I reading this right or do they seem imply brazil might have approved it with conditions just recently? it could explain why IFT is so quick on its decision. That seems to imply Fox sports could be run as an independent entity in Brazil.

The detailed analysis of the segments and preferences should result in the necessary measures to prevent a transaction like this from resulting in an excessive market power of Disney-Fox.

To date, international experience (USA, Europe, Brazil, for example) is aimed at conditioning the merger to compliance with legal measures that guarantee the continuity of the existing competition between the sports signals of Disney and Fox.

An unrestricted authorization in Mexico would allow the new company to price its signals unilaterally along with other market shares, to the detriment of competition, the plurality of content and the welfare of pay TV subscribers.

Hopefully they can make Dark Phoenix disappear too once the acquisition is complete

Amen

 

[Endeavor]

If it would be rebooted so Deadpool will be part of MCU and they will have to recast Wade

No they wouldn't.
The nature of the character (constantly breaking the 4th wall) lends itself for seamless transition into the MCU, keeping Reynolds without having to keep anything else from FOX. He's already made meta jokes in his own movies about casting, when he mentioned McAvoy and Stewart, it will probably be something similar when he shows up in an MCU movie.

 

[The Infernal]

I say for solo Deadpool films keep him fluid since he's so meta, but for any cameo he has in anyone else's movie then constrain him to continuity and don't have his references be so overtly meta.

So what if they decide against the Disney-Fox deal in the next few days? It's not that they're approving it in the next few days but deciding about it.

Uh what? Thats the same thing. They will decide whether or not to approve it.

He means there is no guarantee their response will be an approval. So what happens if they reject it?

I guess they keep reworking it till it gets approved.

If this is true, get ready for a huge Wolverine focus

I don’t mind him being a big MCU character as long as the first MCU X-Men film can succeed massively without him. He would suit the small screen well anyway. And if that name is accurate it would be cool for X-Men series to be labelled that way to make it clear to audiences which shows are related to the X-Men (before they watch).

 

[SumT]

if that ends true (which I doubt as of right now), maybe that means that Marvel wants to use Wolverine since the start but on tv first, while they focus on the other x-men in the movies, at least in the very first movie.

Isnt this what Marvel is/will do with the Disney+ shows? the supporting characters get mini-series, while the main avengers get lead roles in the team movies.
I would be soooo happy if this was the case too with Wolverine

 

[metaphysician]

That's cold.

But kind of true.

Tangentially. . . okay, so I've given some consideration to loose ideas of how they should reboot the X-Men. And one of the unfortunate truths I have realized is that, if at all possible, they should leave Jean Grey out of it. This is for three reasons.

1. Jean Grey is important and iconic. . . but she is important for one reason only: Scott Summers' love interest. Iconic for one reason only: the Phoenix Saga. She is, overall, a one-note character.

2. Said iconic role will been done twice already in less than twenty years. . . and badly at that. Its overdone and worn out.

3. There are so many other characters competing for narrative real estate, who bring more to the table.

So, if I could at all get away with it, I'd leave Jean out. I have no idea how, though.

Amen. Never liked the character anyway.

 

[metaphysician]

It still boggles my mind that Disney actually bought the whole damn Fox studio. Buying the Fox owned Marvel properties would’ve sufficed but Mickey actually bought the whole damn thing. LOL.

I still think the real clincher was Star Wars. Disney wanted the Marvel stuff, and they wanted the rest of the Star Wars rights, and by the time you paid enough to purchase them both? It started adding up to enough to make it worth it to just buy the whole damn company. After all, you can always sell off the parts you don't want later.

I'd hope so. If they can keep him on the show while the X-Men get development, that would be great. Most of what they say about the X-Men is what we all expected anyway.

Also, Cyclops appearing in Spider-Man 3 would make sense if he's played by the named Luke Benward. But Jeremy Irvine playing him? What would a 30 year old Cyclops be doing at Peter's school?

I like the idea of them going after an unknown actress for Jean. But I'm curious as to how they have been in talks with Gyllenhaal about Doom back in June before the deal closed?

What will be telling of this rumor is if the F4 movie is announced at this end of this year like the rumor stated

Sounds fake. He may end up guessing right with some, but I don't buy it. The actors he mentioned gave it away.

He's already made meta jokes in his own movies about casting, when he mentioned McAvoy and Stewart, it will probably be something similar when he shows up in an MCU movie.

Also, Deadpool was by far the most popular and successful thing to come out of the X-Men movies, *and* Ryan Reynolds is young and eager. Its a big payoff for little cost.

Maybe that's a sign that you shouldn't. Leave Jean be and let her grow out of the shadow from the Phoenix. She does not only exist to be the object of Scott's affection. What she is suppose to be is the everyman character: the person that the audience can project themselves into. If anything, she should be the pov character in the X-Men movie because her power is the most "mutant" of any of the X-Men. Being in everybody's heads and helping them sort through their issues

It’s getting political in Mexico. The lower house will have a meeting with COFECE and IFT, which still hasn’t approved it.

I dont get it? COFECE already approved it. And IFT is supposed to decide in the next few days if they will approve it. But from what I can see its exactly as you described. IFT is supposedly challenging COFECE's approval.

It’s a bit surreal. A congressman accused 2 guys representing DIS/FOX of conflict of interest as both used to work for the former competition body CFC and one of them was the head of it. They left because they weren’t happy earning less than the Mexican president and wanted to depart with a gift that is the DIS-FOX monopoly agreement, the congressman said.

Something doesn’t compute since the former CFC head left in 2013 when CFC became COFECE. Well in politics things don’t always need to make sense though I can see why questions were raised for an unconditional approval in which the sports pay tv market wasn’t even mentioned.

 

[Darkprime]

In the grand scheme of things sports channels being a concern is kind of hilarious when you consider the scale of the fox / disney buyout. "oh we're concerned about disney having a monpoloy in sports channels" lol why dont they just say the right people havent been paid yet.
