Comcast to buy NBC/Universal

[Festivus]

Maybe buying Marvel was the first step in Disney buying Universal from Comcast.

I was thinking the same thing...

Comcast's Current CEO Brian J. Roberts said that NBC-Universal and Comcast's Merger would be "Pro-Consumer". Well Comcast has forgot about it's many Controversies. Here are all of Comcast's controversies.

So it would be a perfect marriage then! Guest dissatisfaction, etc. :lol:

Am I some some dreamland.

Since when does Disney want Universal and since when did Universal own Marvel?

Again, funny how people around here tie everything to Disney ... and WDW.

Must be something in the Pixie Dust.

This deal is about reshaping the face of major media in the 21st century. It has very, very, very little to do with theme parks in Orlando, although in the long run it may lead to a stronger competitor for the rodent.

Or maybe it has to do with members reading about the news here, on a Walt Disney World fan site. How could they even think it?

Universal didnt own Marvel, but the majority of the park is themed from it. Also having Universal would give Disney the ablility to do things it cant do at its parks.

Uh... no it isn't

That's 1/6th of the park and creative rights belong to Marvel.

And you do realize Disney is much more than a theme park company right. For example, they own ABC....

And what was that?

I understand that Disney is more then theme parks, but what does Comcast know about running them. Second if it is a deal to change media for the 21st century why would Comcast want to hold on to theme parks that have a lot of debt coming due.
