All this just to get the Deadpool, X-Men, and Fantastic Four into the MCU :p.

I mean what other reasons are there that we the consumerist audience care about what happens now here? I mean this article has a thumbnail picture of Marvel stuff.

Well, say good bye to Fox's R rated movie franchises like Aliens and Predators.

And I don't know if we will ever see Die Hard and Planet of the Apes and Avatar in a new movie.

Or the fate of The Simpsons, and Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy and American Dad.
Disney is a business, they like making money, and most of the things you listed are proven money-spinners. Why wouldn't they keep making them? Just keep releasing them with the Fox logo instead of the Disney one if they have image concerns

I'm assuming this means superhero movies will take longer to die.
Um, Capain Marvel was smashing some records. So did Black Panther, Infinity War and Deadpool 2 last year. For them to die, they have to stop breaking records

So now they own Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox... what are they missing? WB and Sony?
Paramount, off the top of my head.

What's Paramount got? I forget. I know WB has DC, Harry Potter and LotR. Sony has Spider-Man and Adam Sandler.
I guess Disney has yet to buy Netflix as well. Step one is creating their "own" Netflix, right?

Transformers and Star Trek, off the top of my head.

We can also add Universal to the list of "stuff Disney doesn't have."

Since they have 20th Century FOX now.

By technicality Disney now owns the distribution rights to The Passion of the Christ, the most highest earning box office for an R rated movie before Deadpool, and most controversial christian movie.

Deadpool won't be in the MCU. It's a separate thing and they'll keep it that way if they like money.

The TV branch of Fox isn't going to Disney so Simpsons and Family Guy are safe.
Disney is only getting the movie studio.
