If Disney Bought Warner...

[McAvoy]

Assuming they do. No.

They didn't merge Star Wars with Marvel. Or do a crossover, even if suggested.

But I would suspect that buyout might get the US government's attention.

Way things are going, I predict that Disney will own virtually 90% of the entertainment landscape in the next ten years, with a new leg up on anime, as well. Again, be very afraid...

Isn't that a monopoly at that point? I would like to imagine the government would step in at some point.

That and right now I don't think Disney is capable of buying another company right now.

I think they're too cowardly to step in so long as their pockets are being lined.

Counterpoint: Anti-trust regulation stepping in forcing Disney to spin-off Fox Sports.

[Captain Crimson]

Yeah, but I really wouldn't put it past Disney to want to own every bleedin' entertainment IP under the sun. One of my friends had raised a good point, however. That what do they stand to gain from MGM, which has a bad reputation now, and Warner is too giant, given their money constraints? I hope that keeps, though, TBH.

I Think even purchasing Netflix wouldn't get the government involved. Yet.

But buying out Warner? Yeah I think that would give the US government might get involved.

It's why I'd brought up MGM, as sadly, their buyout wouldn't get the government involved, if it dropped the cowardice and greed for one moment, but it would mean our beloved IPs can now rot and die. Say hello to woke Stargate, when it never had any ambitions of activism the way one could insist for ST, SW, even B5.

That may be. They also get the Bond series. Of course that wouldn't be enough. Stargate wouldn't be enough. Whether whatever Disney buys makes it woke is a different discussion.
