Green Lantern with realistic travel times would be hilarious. "We're needed on Oa!" *several months later* "We're almost out of the solar system! Only a few more years!"

Is this typical of Quasar because I feel like this is no way near the first time I've heard of him being kind of... hapless, for lack of a better word.

Multiple outlets, including CNBC and The Guardian, are reporting that the Disney/Fox deal is likely to be announced tomorrow morning.

It'll take a while to finalize a deal of this size, so don't expect to hear anything about MCU X-Men/F4 plans until late next year at the absolute earliest, and more likely not until 2019.

I figure for the next several months Kevin Feige is going to be in front of a board trying to figure out how to link everything together like Charlie in Always Sunny.

And maybe it'll all link back to Captain Marvel:

.... Yeah, his whole series is like that with him getting his hands chopped off, accidentally dying 2-3 times. The worst is he accidentally nullifies himself with the Ultimate Nullifier in his Infinity War tie-in.

While a horrible day if you hate monopolies, its not like Disney being a monopoly is the worst thing in the world, I mean what can they really do that would ruin your life "Oh know they own everything and use it to make theme parks and easily disposable films!!! The horror"

Anyway MF Doom should play Doom or have at least have a cameo in the first probably good Fantastic Four movie.

At least with Disney owning these properties again, they won't have a reason to squeeze the X-Men and F4 out of other merchandising lines such as video games and collectible markets.

Basically the only moral monopolistic mega-corporate merger is my monopolistic mega-corporate merger :colbert:
