I'm not familiar with Avenue Q or The Book of Mormon, but I think the Lopezes have done a great job writing songs for Disney films. I thought all of the songs in Frozen and Winnie the Pooh were excellent and very memorable.

Now you're being ridiculous. The contract defines a specific geographic region over which Universal has exclusive Marvel theme park rights. It is not arbitrary. It's clear that you are not interested in dealing with facts - only half-baked analogies, wishful thinking, and conspiracy theories...

Your divorce analogy makes no sense. There is nothing that Comcast wants so badly from Disney that they would agree to end the current arrangement. You ascribe Disney's lack of desire to negotiate for the Florida Marvel rights to the failures of current management. What makes you think that...

It doesn't matter how much Disney paid for Marvel. It is not the right thing to do. I have already explained why; I won't waste time typing it again.

Refer back to where I said that the two situations are not similar.

If Disney is worried about losing market share, Marvel is not the only answer. And there is no guarantee that Disney would do Marvel better than Universal has already done it as far as Florida is concerned.

In other words, your opinionated prediction is just wishful thinking. The two situations are not similar.

As a little thought exercise, just for the moment let's take this statement to be true. If Comcast does have some kind of vendetta against Disney, that doesn't seem compatible with your opinionated prediction about Comcast and Disney making a deal whereby Disney would get the Marvel rights for...

Bad news, guys, I don't think we'll ever get an Incredibles ride in WDW:

He's a Habs fan?

I'll summon Bob Saget.

How exactly does the Universal deal weaken the value of the theme park rights for any location outside of the region covered by the deal? As I understand it, the Marvel rights were a very good deal for Universal because Marvel was desperate for cash at the time that IOA was being planned. The...
