Agree,, net neutrality has nothing to do with this and it's been discussed for months. This is all about the younger Murdoch family members to update their media empire, buy British SKY network (English antitrust is stricter than us) and distance fox news from the main CorpQuote:

I trust that they'll make it work. Fantastic 4 needs to be rebooted though, tbh. With Mutants involved it changes things completely. They could release 3 movies a year for the next decade and there would probably still be ideas to be explored.Quote:

No anti-trust concerns here when you can have new competitors sprout up with no barriers to entry, the teams can develop their own networks (Dodgers and Yankees did, as did the Knicks/Rangers), and you still have NBC/CBS/Turner. Also, who would the monopoly adversely impact? May be hard to quantify but perhaps Disney could jam carrier fees down throats of consumers indirectly.Quote:

But what I'm thinking is at which point it is just too much.
A lot of these characters live/operate in NYC, which usually makes it a stretch to explain how the other guys are always busy and nobody gets in each others' way unless the writers decide to. Add the X-men, who also live in NYC, have saved the world a couple of times, have fought Apocalypse, have changed the past, and have already presented a near future where Wolverine is poisoned by his own bones and dead, and it sounds like too much.
If they do it, I just hope they really come up with good way to do it.
The characters would likely get rebooted... Hugh Jackman is too old already... though Ryan Reynolds does make the perfect Deadpool...Quote:

Fox and Disney having to separate the X-Men and the Avengers makes it work out.Quote:

Maybe that he dieded in the MCU.Quote:

Seems like they could just create one all compassing super diaper and then put that on the strongest person.
I see you're ready to hear about the good Lord Jesus Christ our saviorQuote:
