That said is Fox goes to Comcast, Fox will have to pay Disney for cancelling the deal.

Yeah...Big thing, I think, is this is setting up a bidding war which isn't good for anyone really (well, I guess except Murdoch and FOX shareholders), as if Disney has to up their big that hurts their stock but also bad to lose out as "no one likes a loser"
That's what I've been saying all along. Lots of people seem to cheer on Comcast/Universal whenever they "stick it" to Disney. Long-term Disney if Disney loses this and they aren't able to be successful with streaming they will be vulnerable to a buyout. And everything could be broken up and sold off.Big thing, I think, is this is setting up a bidding war which isn't good for anyone really (well, I guess except Murdoch and FOX shareholders), as if Disney has to up their big that hurts their stock but also bad to lose out as "no one likes a loser"

Disney has to get this deal. I really don't want Comcast in charge of SKY and owning a bunch of Marvel IP
Not for $60 billion. Those rights are ancillary. The big parts of this deal are Sky and Star and the sheer mass of content already created to use in a streaming service. The rights to Marvel IP theatrical releases is small potatoes. How small? Disney paid 4.25B for all of the rest of Marvel. Theatrical release rights to the few characters Fox owns? A few hundred million, tops, in this deal. A miniscule percentage.Just to clarify, they wouldn't actually own any Marvel IP, just the rights to theatrical films based on them. Disney really needs to get those rights back though.
What good comes out of this other than for Fox shareholders?Competition is a good thing. It's a shame that monopolies are taking over.
