Thoughts on the Disney/Fox Merger

1/28/2019

For those of you who don’t know, Disney is in the process of buying Fox Studios, and should be done with that this summer. I have concerns about this merger:

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) would be very crowded, with the X-Men and Fantastic Four being re-acquired by Marvel. I don’t want a crowded franchise. Also, I’m worried that Deadpool would not be a good character to join the Marvel Universe. He’s a rated R character and wouldn’t be appropriate in the MCU.

I don’t want Anastasia to become a Disney Princess. She has nothing in common with Disney and doesn’t have anything to do with Disney.

According to the government, this is considered a ‘horizontal’ merger, which the government shouldn’t approve.  This would decrease the number of major movie studios from six to five, which would bring us closer to a monopoly. There should be more competition!

I know a lot of my readers have signed my petition, but for any of you who haven’t, please a take a look and consider signing.

Thanks,
Ben.
