Odds and ends June 23, 2018... Mouse news and stuff.

The good:
Disney basically pulled a Kaiba.

And denied Comcast's bid for Fox... for now, since they could try again.

I want Comcast to lose for two reasons:
-X-Men and fantastic four on the MCU.
-Original Star Wars Trilogy rereleased without the 90s and 00s enhancements.

The bad:
Disney has put the rest of the Star Wars spin-offs on ice... and I don't mean an ice skating show. This is all Solo's fault.
The movie underperforming was the main culprit. Of course many are "blaming the alt-right" for it.
Here's the thing:
The "alt-right" is not to blame here.
Production problems, bad casting choices, somewhat weak script, playing it safe with the movie, and Star Wars fatigue" played a much bigger role than "an alt-right boycott".
I saw Solo and was underwhelmed...

The ugly:
We WERE going to get a Stan Lee BaF... now we are not. A set of Target exclusive 2 packs were meant to have Stan BaF parts, but that was scrapped... alsp, rumor jas it that Hoverchair Chuck is coming...
