Disney is probably the safest movie studio right now. It's kind of scary how much its dominating this year with Civil War, Jungle book and Zootopia, with Finding Dory, Dr. Strange and Rogue One coming out later this year. No other studio is coming close to them this year, unless Independence Day 2 pulls a Jurassic World or Suicide Squad beats BvS's sales. That said, I would not be surprised if we see a major studio closes its doors in the near future like Sony or Paramount.
And for the OP question, Warner Brothers, for the pure shitstorm of Marvel and DC under the same roof.
>>83916198
Realistically, Warner Bros. is worth more than Disney could afford. It's much more than a movies studio, unlike Lucasfilms Pixar and Marvel studios. It's an empire just like Disney, only with less presence in the market. (and money)
>>83918029
>Mentions dominating movies

>>83916016
Ghibli
>>83920151
They already distribute them, and I don't think Ghibli is the force it used to be.
>>83916263
I agree, but less because of money issues, more because the shopping spree was Disney trying to get a foothold into the "Boys" Market (look at mid-late 2000s films like Tron: Legacy and John Carter, attempting to weasel their way in there to no avail), and now they have the Boys Market by the fucking neck. There is no reason for them to acquire properties when they have all the ones they need already.
>>83920463
>They already distribute them
But that only applies to the US, doesn't it? even here in Mexico, we license their movies directly from Japan.
>>83920151
That would be great. They could rehireall the artist and bring their movie style abit more mainstream in some way. Plus those movies are classics
>>83916381
Isn't that on its way out? I feel like I see fewer shops than I used to.

Nintendo are very protective of their IPs, after shit like the live action mario bros movie. They're only just recently warming up to the idea of letting other people handle their IPs again.
I do think we'll see Mario in WiR2, but then again the last time Nintendo let a studio use one of their characters in a movie, it was DK in Pixels so who knows.

They do indeed fuck about with dubbing - Americans suffer from some sort of auditive horror vacui - long silent passages have been filled with all sorts of needless yelling and talking. Watch Princess Monokoke in the original Japanese, then watch the US dubbed version.
Disney has no respect for the arts, they just want to make money.

Reminder that they did that to sabotage their contract with Sony.
>>83924633
There are a few exceptions. If the purchasingh company can prove that the purchase will create X amount of Japanese jobs, it can go through.
Disney would just have to pump a decent bit of activity into the economy, say, open up two animation studios and a theme park.

That and Florida and California.
>>83924443
Buying Hasbro seems, at first glance, to make sense, since Hasbro has the exclusive toy licenses for a lot of Disney properties.
In practice, though, it's better to keep them separate, so that Disney doesn't shoulder all the financial risk of the company. The profits generated by Transformers and pastel horses doesn't really outweigh the risk of toy manufacturing.
>>83916016

Impossible. Japanese law prevents any foreigner person or company from buying national companies. You can bet your sweet ass they'd own at least Capcom if it weren't so.
To everyone saying that Iger would EVER buy a video game studio.
Iger views video games as beneath Disney. Even after Disney Infinity turned Disney Interactive from a sick joke into a 1.5 billion a year juggernaut, the department was the first to go when ESPN started bleeding money.

Will they kill off Disney TV animation? The quality started to drop as soon as Eisner left (with Lilo & Stitch The Series being the last show to deserve the Disney banner) and when it would of been smart that the quality animation went to TV when the features were all CG Igor did not let that happen and instead let the TV unit rot.

Not even close. Time Warner is the third largest multimedia conglomerate behind Comcast and Disney. They were almost purchased in 2014 by Rupert Murdoch/Fox for $80 billion, but they rejected his bid and he eventually gave up his takeover attempt. Since then things have gotten worse. They're now worth around $55 billion. They have struggled for the past few years and even now have been linked to rumors of mergers with other companies such as Viacom since the beginning of the year. While there are other companies that would have a better chance of buying Time Warner like Apple or Google, Disney could absolutely do it.

She's a less radical Bernie essentially.
Wants a lot of shit to either be put in place, or reformed. So expect big ass taxes to pay for it all, or add another hundred trillion to the national debt.
Basically what she wants is:
>Make it harder for people to unload their debt when they declare bankruptcy, so people like Trump aren't so easily off the hook the xth time they declare bankruptcy.
>Reforms and regulations in the economy make the Middle Class great again.
>Keep the TPP, which is a piece of shit
>Fix existing immigration policy to naturalize everyone already here but make it harder for more illegals to show up, without building a wall.
>Tax the fuck out of everyone, though mostly rich people
>Solar and Nuclear energy
>Fuck China

SilvaGunner take it further by presenting songs on Youtube like they're OST rips but sneaking Flintstones and other songs into them.
>>83930316
He shoved in the theme song into everything and everyone started to love The Flintstones again.
With in the post few day he stopped doing that and started doing Simpsons & Family Guy remixes, some say that WB sent him a C&D to stop using The Flintstones and Fox is paying him to use The Simpsons & Family Guy's themes in The Flintstones' place when other say that he got sick of it, whatever the case Fred will come back.

They were perfectly fine with people making cartoons out of their IP for many years after the movie though. The Super show, Mario 3 show, Mario World, Zelda, and Captain N, as well as Donkey Kong were never turned away from Ninntedo.
>>83932147
>The Super show, Mario 3 show, Mario World, Zelda, and Captain N
These were before the movie.
The DKC cartoon was the only one to come out after.
>>83932147
The thing is that those shows were made under licensed, Nintendo only produced 2 shows (Kirby & F-Zero, the later Miyamoto hated) and a Movie (Animal Crossing) which Iwata hated so much that they got out of movie making for years because of it.
They did produced the Pikmin shorts however but Kid Icarus was licence out (Shaft, IG & 4C), so was StarFox (IG/Wit).
>>83932287
Miyamoto tends to hate near;y everything anyway. The man cannot stand modern games or storyline, and he thinks it should be Dig Dug level of see and play only.
>>83932646
Theres no issue about that, as long as the game is fun in the end.
>>83932646
>The man cannot stand modern games or storyline
That's a lie because he specifically created Zelda to be story based.
That said he feels that games like Mario should be more mechanics based than anything else. Which is true, any story on Mario will just feel kind of hamfisted and will break up the gameplay too often.
>>83932870
>That's a lie because he specifically created Zelda to be story based.

and I will still call bullshit because it's wrong.

>>83932870
>That's a lie because he specifically created Zelda to be story based.
That is complete and total bullshit.
Miyamoto has always been fairly consistent about his antipathy towards story-focused games and story in games in general.He's partially right.
>>83932870
>[F]ROM THE VERY BEGINNING, ZELDA GAMES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THE TOP PRIORITY OF FOCUSING ON THE GAME MECHANICS RATHER THAN THE STORY. FOR EXAMPLE, IN OCARINA OF TIME, THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF THE SERIES I WAS INVOLVED IN, THE MAIN THEME WAS HOW TO CREATE A GAME WITH PLEASANT CONTROLS IN A 3D WORLD. OR IN THE DS GAME PHANTOM HOURGLASS, THE FOCUS WAS HAVING COMFORTABLE STYLUS CONTROLS. FINALLY, IN THE MOST RECENT GAME SKYWARD SWORD, WE FOCUSED ON AN EASY WAY TO SWING THE SWORD USING THE WII MOTION PLUS.
THINKING OF THAT WAY OF DEVELOPING THE GAMES, IT MAY BE CORRECT TO SAY THAT THE STORY IS AN APPENDIX TO THAT. I EVEN THINK THAT SETTING SKYWARD SWORD AS THE “FIRST STORY” WAS MERELY A COINCIDENCE. (HYRULE HISTORIA 238-239)

>>83933305
My point stands.
When it comes to sports coverage, ESPN mainly covers apehoop, NFL, some luckswing and usually covers franchises in "major" cities. Are you a fan of Soccer or Hockey? Tough shit, ESPN barely cares since they don't air those sports.
Most of their lineup is just Sportscenter on repeat for like 18 hours. The only good shit on ESPN these days are their 30 for 30 documentaries. Their editorial content is god awful, Skip Bayless is a hypocritical talking head and they seem to shoehorn in politics/labels to "stir the pot."
>>83933377
I only partially agree. Gameplay is definitely what matters most but it also depends on the type of game and it's not like a game won't be that much more interesting if they dress it up in a fancy way, with an interesting story, cool characters, an interesting setting, environmental storytelling, and so on. The Legend of Zelda is a PRIME example of this actually.
Thing about video games is, there's so much potential for storytelling that it's insane but most video games have shitty stories and devs don't know what makes a narrative good nor do they really know how to TELL a good story so for the most part most devs should just focus on gameplay first and foremost.
>>83933264
it's kind of hilarious because sports are like the one thing people stick with cable for.
>>83933305

>>83933450
Is he really?
Honestly as a huge Nintendo fan, I feel like it could either be a really good thing or a really bad thing if Disney ever bought out Nintendo.
>>83933464
Thing is they aren't opposed to stories just that it shouldn't bury the gameplay.
>>83933492
Precisely. A story should absolutely not intrude on the gameplay and in fact, it should compliment the gameplay.
Most likely they might swoop in on Sony Columbia pictures because it's been a constant drain on Sony's recovery path and has been a consistent under performer. Another bad summer of flops and Sony will start shopping it about. Easy pick up for Disney as long as they find a way to dump ESPN.
>>83922647
Doubtful. Nintendo would probably stick with what they know and get picked up by someone like Tencent or Microsoft (Hiroshi Yamauchi was reportedly very close to selling to MS in 2000 after having meetings with Bill Gates but eventually backed off). Maybe even Activision. Bob Iger wouldn't have a clue what to do with them.
>>83924950

>Complete MGM and Popeye (remastering is done and the Sony movie is canceled) sets to follow.
>Retail Hanna Babera DVDs, no longer limited to DVD-Rs.
>More Hanna Babera then just Scooby Doo (or cashing in on SiIvaGunner's Flintstones boom).

>Doubtful. Nintendo would probably stick with what they know and get picked up by someone like Tencent or Microsoft (Hiroshi Yamauchi was reportedly very close to selling to MS in 2000 after having meetings with Bill Gates but eventually backed off). Maybe even Activision.
None of this shit would ever happen either.
Honestly Disney's more likely than any of those, for better or worse. Disney is probably closer to Nintendo than any other entertainment company.
>>83933539
If they just fucked off and let Nintendo do whatever they wanted, maybe just kinda force Nintendo to modernize ever so slightly (because I think just about everyone can agree that Nintendo is kind of stuck in the past due to the old guard like Miyamoto having so much authority) and maybe did stuff for Nintendo outside of video games, like creating a real life Nintendo Land theme park or movies based on their properties, with input from Nintendo proper of course, then it might not be so bad actually.
>>83933528

>because I think just about everyone can agree that Nintendo is kind of stuck in the past
In all honesty the past is better than the future, I feel like home consoles nowadays are focusing on the power and HD GRAFIX angle way too much and it's hurting the content in their actual games. I mean, why make adequate content when you have the public wrapped around your pinky already?
> like creating a real life Nintendo Land theme park or movies based on their properties, with input from Nintendo proper of course, then it might not be so bad actually.
This would be fine I don't think anyone would be opposed to this. Even simple things like a Yoshi go Round or Wrigglercoaster would be fairly popular.

It's not just about shit like that though. It's like, why is there no online multiplayer in SM3DW? Or DKC:TF? Why did it take so long for there to be a unified Nintendo account system? Why does Splatoon not have voice chat?
I'm sorry if I sound antagonistic towards Nintendo but it's just like, come on. This shit should be standard already.
>>83933804
Also why the focus on half-realized gimmicks like the GamePad instead of experiences that are less annoying to work with? Or experiences that are legitimately fresh and original without any sort of costy controller gimmick?
>>83933804

They're platformers anon, online doesn't exactly work for them especially if you're playing with a particularly laggy partner.
As for Splatoon having put in 100+ hours there's no real need for it because of the small maps and objectives. It's not something that requires any tactical movements and team communication as much as it's just
>INK EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T YOUR COLOR
The ranked games work like that too.
Splatzones are just inking a specific area
Rainmaker is just dash for the middle and push forward
Tower control is just stay on the tower and kill anything that moves.
They aren't particularly complex modes, that said I wouldn't mind having VC with friends to talk about unrelated shit. I reckon they're just being extra cautious after the Swapnote thing.
>>83933831
I'm guessing that's more to try and incorporate something new rather than the old press button style of gameplay.

If you can have fighting games with online multi, you can have platformers with online multi. And other games did exactly that, like Rayman Origins and Legends iirc
>As for Splatoon having put in 100+ hours there's no real need for it because of the small maps and objectives. It's not something that requires any tactical movements and team communication as much as it's just
That is blatantly untrue. Lots of high-level players use Skype and such to communicate in competitive Splatoon.
>I'm guessing that's more to try and incorporate something new rather than the old press button style of gameplay.
Thing is, no one ever really wants to touch the Gamepad. Even within Nintendo proper, it was basically just Miyamoto who forced it on everyone. They focus on these gimmicks at the detriment of everything else.
>>83933606
Disney has always been hands off with their purchases. It irritates some licensees who have to bow to Marvel's ridiculous demands, actually.
>>83934083
>And other games did exactly that, like Rayman Origins and Legends iirc
Maybe on PC I don't recall online on console games beyond the leaderboards.
> Lots of high-level players use Skype and such to communicate in competitive Splatoon.
It's completely unnecessary to the game though. Like I said before the objectives are simple and the maps are small the core of the game is just rush down and suppress the enemy.
In fact the idea of competitive Splatoon just is ridiculous.
>Thing is, no one ever really wants to touch the Gamepad. Even within Nintendo proper
It's a shame too, we could have seen things like a TWEWY sequel on it or an Ema Skye Investigations: Forensics where the gamepad is used as a sort of multi forensics tool.
I think most of the blame for it goes to the reception of the Wii U as well as the poor advertising seeing as we have statements from people like Kamiya that the Wii U isn't hard to develop for.
> They focus on these gimmicks at the detriment of everything else.
Eh, the gimmicks haven't really lowered the quality of the games on the system, although Star Fox gets a bad rep it's mostly because people refuse to deal with the learning curve of a new control scheme instead of it being actually bad. I mean, it could be better but it's far from the unplayable people are shouting their heads off about.
Anyway, if they games are of poor quality it's more often than not because of poor communication with the dev team ala Sonic Boom or the game was rushed out to capitalize on the hype like the horde of shovelware on the popular systems like the Wii and the PS2.
>>83934083
Also I'm liking that we're having an actual civil discussion about video games.

This would be funny only to see how Disney's customer service method would clash with Games Workshop's, if the stories about them hounding customers is true.

I think there may be a conflict of interest, what with Universal and Nintendo already collaborating on a theme park, and potentially alongside Blizzard, too.

Im surprised Disney has not just outright bought a toy company like Mattel yet.
>>83941685
Mattel is too ingrained in the Government to allow such a thing. Seriously they are one of the top lobbyist groups.
And at the moment they make more from product licensing than it would be worth buying one company to make toys.

Yeah. Nobody will care about Doc Strange. Even with benedoodle crimplysnitch. He's nowhere near as well know and respected as Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. And who the fuck actually watches Star Wars? Nobody that's who. Disney BTFO. Blunder of the Century. RIP in piece Disney.
