Disney wins antitrust approval for Fox purchase. Fox shareholder vote to take place July 27th.

That's the best analogy, I'd say:
Predator: "Ripley DOES exist! Her heart's inside my heart."
This take is gonna look dumb as hell in record time.
MCU is gonna be beautifully diverse in a few years.
Nah, but what you said made me think something interesting:
After the approval and assuming that Deadpool is made canon within the MCU, Negasonic becomes the first openly LBGT character in the MCU films. I approve that.
All aboard for MCU Phase
This is beautiful. Cannot wait to see this officially. My heart skipped a beat even knowing it wasn't official.
I don't think any character but Deadpool is guaranteed to make the jump.
That's not to say we wouldn't get Negasonic and Domino eventually (and I hope they just re-up on both actresses, they're great), I just ain't confident they wouldn't recast.
The fear for Disney is not wanting audiences to think anything in Fox's verse is canonical, which I get. I'd hope a quick joke would suffice to set the tone, with Wade rambling about Negasonic and Domino surviving the merger, and the two of them asking him what the fuck he's talking about lol

Divestment of RSNs is kind of a big deal. I'm sure the only reason Disney is not fighting it is because of the pressure from Comcast.
It would make sense for them to buy FloSports to make up the loss of the RSNs and complement ESPN+. It would be a lot smaller, but a lot cheaper with tons of niche content.

The Fantastic Four are special to me. The first comic book I ever read as a kid was a F4 one, I have an emotional attachment to them and I've been dreaming of a good F4 movie for decades. If the deal goes through, the moment that the first F4 teaser pops up on screen in an MCU movie I might actually shed a tear. I know this makes me sound like a huge dork but I don't care.
Am I missing something? Everyone seems to think the fight is over but the article still says Comcast is still intending to make new moves toward this. Very much sounds like it's not 100% official that Disney will get the Fox assets. Am I missing something here?
You just gave me one hell of a fucking incredible idea. Hear me out:
Phase 4:
Fantastic Four
Uncanny X-Men (reboot)
...EXILES (instead of X-Force, directed by Goddard)
The pitch is basically, after the merger, we get the Marvel multiverse. So while Marvel Studios are free to create their own take on Colossus, we also get Negasonic, Yukio, DP's Colossus and maybe even Cable and Quicksilver as time alternate universe jumpers exploring stuff from the Singerverse.
It's not a big deal because they were never after the sports networks.
It went from unlikely for Comcast to counter-bid, to really unlikely.
They better have rum ham.Alright bring on the It's Always Sunny Theme Park at Disneyworld!!!!!
In the case of Marvel Studios, that should be changing soon:

(The one we've already seen is likely Valkyrie.)
Hardly anyone is cheering for anything stop trying to push this stupid narrative
I get it.
I cried when it was announced Spidey was joining, and then again when the Civil War trailer dropped.
Hahahaha, get fucked Comcast!
FUCK UNIVERSAL PICTURES too!
Indeed, and if they wanted RSNs, they are in the best position to make new ones.
However, I am curious who might be a viable suitor for the Fox Sports RSNs. Comcast might not be a bad fit. . . AT&T might have an interest in adding some sports content to its Time Warner portfolio.
Side note in this regard: I expect the Fox TV network that we've known for 30 years is going to be unrecognisable in 2019. From their recent moves, I predict they're going to drop their young and edgy programming for more conservative red meat.

Assuming no other outside bids I would expect this to close by the end of the year. I also expect Disney to already be shopping the RSNs to interested parties right now. I think the FAANGs may want one of more of those, especially YES.
I would place money that the post credit stinger for IW part 2 being someone noticing all of the activity near Earth and stating "I Hunger."
Does this mean it's 100% done?
It's 100% done after shareholders approval, we don't have a date for that yet, but I expect soon. It's incredibly unlikely for Comcast to change this tide by now.
DISNEY WILL BROADCAST WWE, this is my weird take from this.
Save the X-Men, Feige. Keep Reynolds in the Deadpool role and everything will be alright.
