 So it looks like talks has resumed for Disney to acquire the rights to the film and television divisions of 20th Century Fox. So what do I think about it? Well my name is Brandon Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey what's going on guys thank you very much for tuning in to my opinion slash review of this news that dropped earlier today by CNBC. I really do appreciate it but before we get into it talk about it see what all this is about hippie boy out by clicking that subscribe button become one of my subscribers also click the bell so you can get all the content that I have to provide and get notified and also give me that thumbs up let's see if we can get this video to 100 likes. So now this news right here you know brings a bunch of excitement and joy you know to my life I really can't express that enough I can't stress it enough and what it is is earlier this month well not earlier this month earlier last month early November or a number weeks ago there was rumors that was coming out that Disney wanted to buy wanted to purchase the film right the film and television rights of 20th Century Fox and that made me very excited or whatever. Now when that rumor came out it then came out like a day later that the talks said were exhausted and they you know didn't want to go through with the deal but earlier today CNBC put out an article saying that those talks has resumed and it could look like they could have a deal announced as early as next week and I want to go ahead and read the article to you here from you here it is CNBC that put this article together a gentleman by the name of David Faber so I want to give credit where credit is due but here we go. Disney and 20th Century Fox are closing in on a deal and it could come as soon as next week according to sources familiar with this matter CNBC has reported CNBC has been reporting that Disney has held talks with Rupert Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch is the chairman and CEO of 20th Century Fox with Rupert Murdoch control media company to acquire its studio and television production assets leaving Fox with news and sports assets Fox is also talking with CNBC parent company Comcast but the talks with Disney has progressed more significantly the deal contemplates to sell a Fox Net Geo star regional sports networks movie studios and steaks and Sky and Hulu among other properties what remained at Fox includes is news and business news divisions broadcast networks and Fox Sports the enterprise value of the Fox assets in the Disney deal is seen as above $60 billion according to sources current Fox shareholders would get one share of the Fox company that remains after the movie and television assets or so plus shares of Disney and fixed exchange ratio so there you have it right there and you know this could be a good thing and it could also be a bad thing for consumers but I'm leaning more towards the good and the bad now how could this be bad so like I said you know they're not going to get the the full Fox sports and the Fox networks and all that you know that's fine they can stay at Fox you know I'm mostly excited about the television and film division coming over at Disney the reason well let me talk about the bad the reason why this is bad is looking at me I am if you know me I'm really in the comic books and comic book movies and comic book adaptations and things like that so and immediately what I was thinking and everybody else is thinking as well that the fantastic four will come over to Disney that X-Men will come over to Disney and Deadpool and things like that other movies and TV shows as well but that's what popped up in my mind the reason why this could potentially be bad is that we will get you know fewer comic book movies per per year because right now we're averaging about seven or eight comic book movies per year which is three from Marvel Disney and three from 20th Century Fox and maybe one or two from Warner Brothers or whatever with their DC universe but if Disney acquires the comic book properties from Fox you know we may we may only get three or four uh I mean Disney is doing three right now they may bump it up to four but instead of six movies with yeah like I said we only we may get four at the most um that's the and that's one bad thing and I will talk about the flip side of that also that right now you know everybody's heard of Netflix and all of their original content that they're putting out for consumers right now and of course you get the benefit of watching it at home you don't have to go to the theater because you know like everybody doesn't like to go to the movie theater like uh myself you know I'm used to going to the movie theaters four to five times a week where the average American or the average movie or average American probably goes three to four times a year and so Netflix is great and what thing what they were doing with Disney or just deal with Netflix like next year Netflix is going to have like 80 original pieces of content that's going to be uh launched on their platform which is great and right now Disney has a deal with Netflix to where all of Disney's properties well most of Disney's properties are on Netflix so now uh Disney before this deal was going down or talk taking place Disney was just saying that hey we may come up with our own video of demand service or whatever separate from Netflix so you uh consumers will have to pay more if they want Netflix content and Disney content but now if Disney controls uh Fox or whatever if you want it if they do if the deal does go down and it's announced next week now um if you just wanted to rent something at Fox or whatever you may have to only get it under the Disney uh video on demand service or whatever what kind of platform or app that may be and that could be potentially problematic and cost the consumers more money with everybody cutting cables been doing that for a number of years now so it just more money uh more money for the consumer um and but and also um there won't be any more competition uh Disney really doesn't put out any already content uh to my understanding but 20th century Fox does you know some other blogs and articles are talking about movies like a cure for wellness and things like that but I thought that movie was horrible you know if you loved it that's perfectly fine uh you can leave a why in the comments but you know they there may not be any R rated original content like that or for example uh February of last year 2016 with Deadpool that was an R rated comedy not R rated comic book movie Disney may not do that Logan that came out earlier this year one of the best movies of the year not best comic book movies but best movies of a year that was R rated a hard R at that Disney may not want to do that or whatever or you know there's just I can go go down a list of R rated content that Disney puts out or whatever that um they may not want to do anymore or whatever and that just could be a bad thing and when there's no competition I mean if everything is under one umbrella at Disney there will be there could potentially be less filmmakers or or less films and just trying to control everything I mean you just may not possibly get the quality it is a possibility I don't think that it's going in that direction I'm looking at more of the positive things now let me address the rated R uh problem that people are complaining about Disney right now is already putting R rated content out with their Netflix TV shows Marvel comic book shows like Daredevil season one and two Jessica Jones iron fist Luke Cage and of course Punisher that just came out on November 17th those are hard R no they're not on the big screen right now but potentially we could get that also another I think I think no I think Blade is a 20th century fox property or with Miramax but Miramax may be under 20th century fox I'm not sure let me know in the comment section below but so when people say oh we're not going to get a Deadpool or a low game rated R movies anymore yes I completely understand how that could turn you off initially but when I look at what Marvel and Netflix is doing what their Marvel Netflix shows is under Disney those are hard R so you know there is a possibility for that but of course let's address the elephant in the room the best thing that you know I'm most excited for is dare not Daredevil but Deadpool fantastic for and uh the X-Men coming under the Marvel coming under the Marvel Cinematic Universe the MCU like like seriously my my mind is blown like are you serious we can actually potentially get in the future an X-Men versus Avengers movie like like that what I like seriously that is just like a dream come true like years ago we were just like oh that will never happen you know that's a pipe dream it just won't come true and it's also being reported that the the executives over at 20th century fox doesn't feel like they can compete with all the other big money making studios when it comes to these comic book adaptations but I slightly disagree with that I mean you may not be able to compete necessarily but you're still able to make a profit because Deadpool made a lot of freaking money Logan made a lot of freaking money and let me look this up real quick for you here and I always have a rule when it comes to the box office I don't want to say necessarily that a studio is just you know popping bottles and happy and you know going to the strip club you know having parties every time a film grosses three times more than the production budget yes you want that to happen sometimes you can get excited sometimes they can be disappointed by but I say that the safe word is that the studio is satisfied because let's give one film for example Batman v Superman yes that did make three times his budget but it was still it's still underperform but some movies that are not even heard of before if they make three times their budget then the studio is happy like hey we made three times the budget the budget was a hundred million dollars and worldwide we grossed 300 million dollars so hey you know we're happy about that but let's look at Deadpool real quick I'm going to box office mojo.com and the budget for Deadpool was 58 million dollars and so the worldwide gross of that is 783 million 783 million guys so let's let's do that real quick 700 and let's do some man 783 divided by 58 13 13 and a half times his budget so studio is happy when they make three times the budget but in this case they made 13 and a half times so you saying that you can't compete you know I really don't understand that you know studios they don't always have to make you know movies a comic book movie adaptations for 150 million to 200 million 250 million dollars plus some properties are necessary but you don't have to do that so if you're able to it's 20 Century Fox has a lot of X-Men properties and comic book properties so they can do that let's look at uh Logan or whatever no it didn't make 13 and a half times his budget but it still did a hell of a lot the budget was 97 million dollars which for a comic book property is not a lot of money and worldwide it grows 16 uh 616 million dollars that is a whole lot or whatever so 616 divided by 97 six and nearly six times 6.35 but six times the budget so a studio is happy when they make three times the budget Logan made six uh six six times the budget so you know you're making a hell of a lot of profit right there so and I know that the production budget does not include marketing uh you you got to tack on you know 20 to 40 45 percent or whatever Warner Brothers I hate to pick on them they they spend too much money on marketing in my in my opinion but so does uh Sony but you know for them to say that they are not able to compete like stop you know Marvel is ahead right now okay it may take you over a decade or two to catch up and why do you want to catch up anyway just do your thing but I am just so happy that um you know I hope this deal goes down uh we could get an announcement early of next week if this was just if this was just a comic book properties or something like that I wouldn't make the announcement it's a common kind of 2018 because that would be after Black Panther that comes out in February 16th of next year Avengers Affinity War that comes out May 4th and Ant-Man and Awastha comes out in the middle of July but this deal is just much bigger than comic book properties so that idea may not make sense this is Disney acquiring much more than that like the whole film and television vision um and Hulu and things like that so um yeah we may get an announcement next week but the thought that um the thought that the X-Man fantastic for and Deadpool will be under the same roof that is like I would never have thought that would happen or whatever I just never thought it would happen you know I never thought it would happen with Spider-Man and we have that kind of co-deal going on but Disney will own all of this and as far as continuity is concerned in the MCU they're doing a pretty darn good job um doing a fantastic for needed to come to Marvel anyway because 20th Century 5's have tried like four times and they just keep crapping in the bed they're horrible but um you know if they were going to reboot if Disney reboots the Fantastic Four that's easy just create a Fantastic Four origin story after Avengers 4 after Spider-Man Homecoming 2 that's not going to cause Spider-Man Homecoming 2 but in Phase 4 just have an origin story for Fantastic Four that's easy easy cake as far as Deadpool is concerned I necessarily do not want them to reboot Deadpool because Ryan Reynolds in their role was born to play the role and I love the Deadpool movie so much but the great thing about Deadpool is you don't even have to reboot Deadpool because of how his character is built within the comics or whatever he is a goofy self-aware character that breaks the fourth wall he can he can still be Ryan Reynolds like seriously if they have Deadpool 2 is going to be coming out next year or whatever in June okay so you know it's not going to be Tim Miller they did the first one uh David Leach they did uh they co-directed John Wick 1 and also Atomic Blonde that I didn't know like he's doing Deadpool 2 so you can have that movie next June the third Deadpool movie seriously or if he pops up in Avengers 5 I don't want him to pop up in Avengers 4 no they they're already shooting that right now but Deadpool can pop up in Avengers 5 or his own solo Deadpool 3 movie or whatever and Deadpool Ryan Reynolds can just look at the screen like hey okay guys guess what you know uh so did you know I was owned by Fox and now I'm owned by Disney and da da da da he can literally talk at the screen like that and it will work because that's who Deadpool's character is is it's goofy it will work it would be exciting so you know Fantastic Four and Deadpool you can just do it like that you know Marvel go ahead Disney send me my check in the mail for my idea I do appreciate no I'm joking I'm joking now the thing that I just don't know what they're gonna do with X-Men is I don't know how you would bring the X-Men into the MCU because me growing up loving comic books and things like that X-Men has a stronger lore and deeper history than the Avengers do in my opinion or whatever like the Avengers is more present day but we have the X-Men or whatever with the present day characters of like the X-Men team at the X-Mansion ran by Xavier but their history goes back decades and decades and decades and decades or whatever so if they come into the MCU you're gonna be like hey where were they the whole time where were they when Ultron was trying to destroy the world where were the X-Men when Loki brought in the Chitauri or whatever where were the X-Men you know because the X-Mansion is in New York and it was a battle of New York so I really don't know how they're gonna write that in to the MCU and have good continuity I mean I don't know I'm not a writer they can come up with some ideas but that does kind of you know tickle my fancy does you know kind of jug my brain and I'm just not entirely sure on how they could do that the only thing I can think of is some type of time travel storyline or whatever and right now we do have the affinity war coming out with the all the infinity gems all the infinity stones where you have the mind stone the soul stone the reality stone and all of that so somehow if they can do something in Avengers 4 or 5 or whatever to where the time stone gets mixed with the space stone this cover all the space and changes everybody's reality or mess you know wakes everybody up like the X-Men has been there but the reality was hiding the X-Men from everybody's mind I don't I don't know that may idea may sound good it may sound stupid I don't know let me know in the comment section below but I really just don't know how they're going to bring the X-Men into the MCU without ruining the continuity but I'm sure that these writers and Kevin Feige will be able to come up with you know an idea and just one more thing real quick like hopefully we still will be able to get five or six or maybe seven comic book movies a year from Marvel and Disney because I mean you can still I mean you know Marvel they're going to be in the 20th film pretty soon next year and so they have experience to have track records they know what they're doing and they just got to bring a you know bigger team man to write these stories and direct these movies and I really believe if you have Kevin Feige you know at the helm of this and Alan Horne and Alan Horne is Alan Horne and he's one of the head guys over at Disney Alan Horne and Bob Iger I forget who's Bob Iger and Alan Horne are like the two top people at Disney they own everything to my understanding I think one of them is like the head of all Disney and then one of them is like the head of Disney motion pictures correct me if I'm wrong but the only person that Kevin Feige has to report to is Alan Horne and Bob Iger over at Disney you know there he does have to report to anybody else maybe the board of executives or something I don't know but he doesn't have to he doesn't have to report to gosh what does that do his name again I forgot his name I forgot but anyway so I really feel that if Kevin Feige is at the helm and then you have the Russo Brothers and you also bring Joss Whedon over there or whatever and then maybe bringing somebody else just to really sit down and hash all this out man we can have some of the best comic book movies that's been ever known to man for the next 50 years even maybe a hundred years or whatever like I'm in my lower 30s right now and we can still begin new content in this MCU to where I'm 75 years old and hey 80 years old 90 years old and I would love it man I would love it you know like you know I don't have any kids right now but I would love to sit with my kids and my grandkids and be like yeah let's start it back in 2008 with Iron Man yeah you know just being corny and eating it all up or whatever but this is very exciting news I am very optimistic about all this of course we're gonna be getting another thing that I want to mention the Star Wars or whatever Disney could find because Disney because Disney owns Lucas films now I think that was like a two or three or maybe it's a four billion dollar deal and I think George Lucas well at first I thought George Lucas was dumb because I'm like you only sold Star Wars Lucas films for four billion dollars are you nuts that should have been that ten billion dollar deal seriously but it was brought to my attention that not only did he get like four three or four billion liquid but he still gets a smart percentage of the new Star Wars movies that's come out that's a smart move right there so I thought you was crazy Lucas at first because you saw yourself short or whatever but if you still get a if you get that those three four billion plus a percentage a smart percentage like one percent or ten percent of the new movies and you're a smart man but Disney come now on all the because well 20th century I'm all over the place excuse me Disney has the rights to Lucas films okay but 20th century Fox still owns the original Star Wars trilogy a new hope return of the Jedi and Empire Strikes Back I set it out of order but now Disney would own the original content so we can like get a new hope in the original content and like 4k rest restoration or whatever and that would just be lovely you know also Disney would acquire Avatar and you know all that good stuff so you know they would own alien it's something that I would like to see in a mega crossover not in a real live action movie but in like an animated movie maybe 3d animated movie is like Avengers or Marvel Star Wars and alien crossover that would be just fun not a live action movie that that would be too much it would be that would that would have to be just some goofy I want to say goofy I want them to take it soon so that would that would be like 30 years from now but not a live action but like a 3d animation like alien predator uh uh planet of the apes star wars Disney Marvel crossover that'd be kind of fun I would buy it you know just just for you know crap you know it would just be great but uh guys that's all I have that is just my opinion on this deal that could potentially take place and be announced next week for Disney to acquire to buy the rights to the film and television properties of 20th century fox so what did you think do you did this is deal 21 does it turn you off do you agree with me or do you disagree with me let me know in the comment section
