Not even a page in and the false outrage is everywhere, jesus Era. This would of happened no matter who bought Fox - and make no mistake, someone was gonna buy Fox. Save us and yourselves some time here and just copy and paste 'I don't like Disney' into each one of these new threads rather than pretending to care about these people.

Disney-FOX merger expected to cut 4,000 jobs

They're "trimming the fat". You don't need a Vice President for example for both companies when they merge, just 1.
The MCU stuff is tame. You see the gaming side?
Not at all. Fox was always going down but people cheer for distruiption in the lives of thousands for cape movies.
Bunch of defensive Disney fans in here. You know who you support.
Doesn't have to be a great cultural work for people to enjoy the hell out of something, or see some childhood favorite
characters brought to the big screen in a pretty big way.
It sucks that people are getting laid off. I hope that they're able to find work really quickly, and I hope that they get assistance finding new jobs/meaty severance pay.
People care about people losing these jobs, it's not that they have petty reasons like hating Di-
Never mind.
Everyone does it though, not just Era. All these Disney owned franchises have a ton of fans.
I personally have a lot of reasons as to why I don't like the NFL and NBA but I get nothing out of being angry about it considering how many fans there are and how little I can do about it to change it. At this point I'm just annoyed about being annoyed.
Because they can cut costs. One of the easiest way is to fire workers.
The "positive" news is that they probably can easily find another job in USA.
Redundancies, one company buys another for specific assets (in Disney's case, Fox's IP) so they aren't necessarily interested in their marketing/distribution departments when they already have their own.
Because both Fox and Disney are media companies and there are parts of Fox that Disney has no use for
Essentially employees end up irrelevant ot redundant because there would overlap of duties between multiple employees that can be accomplished with fewer employees for certain duties
especially since Disney and fox are media companies Disney likely already has people they trust that can do the job that they don't need the fox employees for
This. Maybe fewer jobs would be cut, but you can't prove that. Only way this didn't happen is if FOX was never bought.
Even if the merger was blocked, given that FOX made the move to sell, do you think FOX would just continue to operate as normal and not attempt to divest of everything associated with the Marvel sale in different ways? MORE people would stand to lose their jobs if FOX just shuttered a bunch of movie and TV operations because they no longer want to deal with them.

Glad you see my posts from on top of your high horse up there.
Lap it up Disney fans. I've made my statement.
OP
OP
It does not create a monopoly in the traditional sense, but it only gives Disney further power to punish and bully the Theatre industry, and making them significantly larger than any other competition. It's like saying AT&T buying Verizon is okay since it isn't a monopoly but will absolutely fucking crush any smaller entity.
Lmao, I'm not even a disney fan. I don't like new star wars. I only have watched zootopia recently of those. I like a majority of the mcu, but I don't worship disney. I don't even know if I want to follow the mcu post end game because of james gunn gone. So it seems like you have a vendetta.
Consolidation. You don't need two Legal departments for example, especially if you have different processes, There is overlap. So people lose jobs.
I see. Is it possible for new jobs to get created as a result of the merger?
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I'm on my high horse while you're over here trying to shit on the MCU and Star Wars and people you deem "Disney Fans"? I'm not sure how that works but okay.
If Comcast acquired Fox, there would be job cuts because Comcast is a media company already, they own NBCUniversal.
Disney merging with fox caused less jobs to be lost than if fox just closed down tons of stuff and sold out.
Oh, this is rich. The poster on his high horse about Marvel and Star Wars not being "great cultural works" and how peoples' excitement about escapist fiction exhausts them, is accusing someone else of looking down on them.
I just remembered who he was.

He's losing it over the X-Men again.
Oh, no doubt that I have a vendetta. Got a ton of shit in the old fox Comcast vs disney threads, ignore list still active from those times. 🙂
Still classy Einchy....

This sucks but this happens with every merger. This was going to happen regardless of who bought Fox's assets.
Sure I was, I give them a pass bc it's mostly an fx project.
Here comes the brigade. Era classy af digging into post histories and "exposing" people.

That isn't the same thing. AT&T and Verizon merging would be a massive issue, far beyond Disney getting Fox IP. Terrible comparison.

Fox IP will give them a boost in market share depending on the year and what is released (for example, X-Men and FF films will simply replace Iron Man, Cap, etc. -- they won't be additional movies coming out on top of Disney's other Marvel films each year) but I do not believe it would lead to anything worse than what we see here.
Fox's IPs are not going to give them anything close to the boost that Marvel and Star Wars did. X-Men will be folded into Marvel and offset other franchises that are leaving. There's really just Avatar and we'll still be waiting to see how the world responds to those sequels (which will likely just replace Star Wars films in certain years, which Disney is cutting back on).
It is absolutely not a monopoly.
What a stupid comment, lol. How dare people be excited for something that was going to happen anyways
Honestly, it's like some of you have never stepped foot in the real world before. I've been cut three times before in my career due to mergers/acquisitions. It happens and you deal with it. Snide comments on superhero movies and their fans makes you look childish.
Doesn't make the situation any better, I mean the job cutting is entirely on Disney in this situation, they're the ones as it was quoted "trimming the fat" here
This is par for the course to reduce overhead. Do you want 10 Directors per department doing the exact same job getting paid 250K base + ESPP + Performance based RSUs + Performance base cash incentives?
It also fails to mention that New Disney will add a plethora of jobs in other areas such as DSS, but I digress.

Yea, because that has happened with every merger ever. It's not a disney thing.
Oh so you're allowed to lap up Marvel media when not all of the money is Disney money, just some of it. Got it.
People have layers, just have a strong dislike of mcu and Disney worship.
I didn't dig through your post history, I posted in that thread.
You even replied to me.
You realize you're just doing it all over again, right? You admitted in this thread you have a vendetta against Disney.
Like, I dunno, maybe don't have a vendetta against a company and people who like their products? You're raging against nothing.
