Fox-Disney merger: RISE OF THE FOXBAT.

Foxbat‘ is a very obscure gaming reference, which is why I’m taking that particular suggestion. Anyway: “Shareholders of 21st Century Fox and Disney have voted to approve Disney’s $71.3 billion buyout of major Fox assets.  Shareholders gathered Friday morning at the New York Hilton for separate meetings to vote on the historic transaction that the companies first set back in December. Both meetings were brief, lasting less than 15 minutes.”

The deal is finalizing in the first half of 2019, which is Just. Enough. Time. for the MCU to put together a teaser credit of the Fantastic Four at the end of Avengers 4.  Or maybe the X-Men.  But if Disney/Marvel is smart, they’ll take a slap at a F4 movie; if they can make something watchable, then they win.  They just simply win the Comic Book Movie wars, and it’s all just mopping up at that point.  Bet big, win big.
