Potential merging of DC and Marvel characters?!

No, it will be Amazon or Apple. Although Apple TV has been a failure (the usual willingness for Apple drones to overpay for Apple products notwithstanding), Apple might want to take one last shot at content and Warner is so pathetic they'd probably dump all the DC stuff for pennies on the dollar or a crate of Iphone 13s. What a disaster of a company, at least in this area. The people overseeing the creation of content actually hate their fans, it is worse than Disney's running of the Star Wars franchise by far (Disney has just been guilty of a bunch of bad movies, they weren't vicious about it, well, I dunno, maybe Solo..).

Admittedly, I don't think super heroes would really trigger anti trust concerns, but Disney taking on all of this seems a bit much unless they are getting it really cheap. I'd think Amazon could outbid and they are looking for content. True, I don't know if they are looking to make $200 million budget movies, but I bet they'd be able to figure out a way to spend $150 million to make a movie that looks like it had a $250 million budget.

But I am confused, doesn't it sound like Discovery is taking a crack at this, or is this assuming Discovery will sell off this asset?:

Finn or whatever flying straight into death star beam and just sweating a bit didnt help.  Or someone finally figgerin out ya could hyperspace a vessel and use it as a weapon.

I stopped watching star wars after princess leia floated thru space like Mary Poppins.  It was dud after dud and i kept thinking the next one would be good but nope.  Poppins was the last straw.

Solo was a bust and I thought it was not terrible, just did not live up to expectations. Force Awakens was ok. Last Jedi and the last one were bad. Rogue One was good.

90 percent of these characters should be public domain anyway. Who cares about these corporations. Stop giving them money.

I'd be extremely happy if Disney went belly up.

Rogue one wasnt horrific like the others.  It was a rip off of the first movie but still good.   Force awakens where chick is suddenly a jedi master and master pilot and master of anything really made me nauseous.

The scene where luke skywalker (his astral hologram or wutever) gets blasted by multiple laser cannons and is completely unfazed and kylo ren decides to fight him with a mere light sabre-yeah I call BS on that.

I call BS on pretty much every star wars after the initial 3.  Not a fan of the ewoks tho.  And going to roast ham solo and the rest without removing their clothes or gutting them-have they ever actually BBQ'd anything?  I have to call BS I'm afraid.  
I also hate how every single star wars (except rogue one altho it did have that comedy relief robot) has to have cutesy characters.  :pullhair:

even with the abbott and costello R2D2 and C3PO the first movie had a real sense of wonder.

The pod racing electronic genius midichlorian kid made me sick to my stomach.  Lets not even talk about jarjar binx.  And the way he just forgot abt his mom for 10 years then oh yeah my mom then went to get her then went ballistic when she was dead-YOU FORGOT ABT HER FOR 10 YEARS YOU IMBECILE!  Princess padme could have bought her out of slavery for what she spent on make up for one day!!  :pullhair:
