For the industry? hell yeah, it keeps money flowing, it keeps sheep happy, and it keeps shareholders healthy
win win win!
For the sake of the artform though, everything suffers because the denominators are pushed even smaller to harpoon more money out of investments
>Is a giant soulless company consolidating everything in sight a good thing?
No, not really. Just look at EA.
At least post the video bitch

>A show that lost it's soul years ago is now owned by a company that lost it's soul years ago
the only good thing i see coming out of this accuisition is Family Guy and The Simpsons finally biting the dust
sounds like it was recorded in a phone booth
>Simpsons biting the dust
You poor naive fucker.
>marge's voice
Just put an end to this show already
...
knowing Disney they will cancel it only to create a even more soulles reboot and then have it cancelled definitively
>Simpsons world in KH4
imagine doing this to a girl while pounding her pussy haha
>Cannot get the color of Darth Vader's light saber right
how much more soulless can it get at this point
It's not like The Simpsons can get any worse, right?
disney+ sounds pretty exciting. Especially the "being able to download everything" part.
Jesus Marge is on her death bed.
Hey if they bring Futurama back again they can do whatever they want to the simpsons.
>Marge, where are we?
>We are in Kingdom Hearts
>Eat my shorts Sora
For the company sure they make the next game mxt heavy and get shit ton of money then when the game only sells 3m copies they shut it down because it didn't meet the exceptions
For the user base it's shit the game loses its charm, dumbed down mechanics and they make the game casual as fuck for more money because the publisher want that sweet sweet virgin money
The superpower in the WW3 will be the Republic of Mickey Mouse, a huge nation made from the multiple countries that Disney brought. Screencap this.
They're writing in Lisa's sexuality as poly now.
why odes every piece of nu-simpsons advertisement have someone looking like they just want to die?
are the artists secretly pleaing for help?
Where can I stream futurama? I recently resubbedbto Netflix only to find out they got rid of it and have some mediocre fantasy series now.
I mean, Lisa is always the fucking liberal snowflake, so she's the perfect one for that
>odes
i meant is, fuck my sleepy brain
>*Giant donut heartless attacks*
>Mm donut
>HOMIE NOOOOOO!
>*Sora attacks the heartless*
>He ate my donut! WHY YOU LITTLE!
no
imagine someone doing that to you haha wow
>Futurama
No, leave it alone. It died while it was good, and that's the best possible outcome. Can't you see how cold and shallow has The Simpsons become? Do you want that to happen to Futarama as well? Fuck no.
At least this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
>are the artists secretly pleaing for help?
What do you think? This show has been on longer than some people browsing Yea Forums has been alive. No one is even certain why it's on anymore, except Fox was willing to pay the increasingly ludicrous and clearly trying to get out of it demands of the voice actors, even though ratings have been flat for a decade.
I doubt the Haus of Maus will be willing to do that though, so this finally, hopefully, marks the beginning of the end of the Simpsons original run. Oh, not the Simpsons, they'll find a way to fucking milk the property and play syndicated reruns into perpetuity. But Disney is way too super jew to pay millions to voice actors for a flat unpopular show. But merchandising and shit alone will pay for itself.
>That fucking blobfish face
This is hilarious as fuck how can anyone get off to this without losing their boner?
No, but anti-monopoly laws don't exist if you have enough money.
I'm pretty disappointed honestly, I was hoping disney would just make a hulu + addon since they bought fox and fox is like 80% stake in hulu. No way i'm spending any more money on another fucking service and another fucking app just for the simpsons. Unless they have literally every disney TV show and movie. I might be convinced and go on a few month long binge to watch all those shitty 90s disney original movies.
It almost happened. The newer seasons got slightly on the soulless side but stopped just before they tipped.
No because when an IP fails they just shelve it never to see the light of day again.
Depends on what big company it is.
Who cares. There should be more creativity in the industry. Fuck nostalgia fags, I hope all ips die and there’s a reboot of the industry.
>dumbo
Well that aged fast.
This. Honestly, it shouldn't have come back that last time. That final move wrapped it up nicely. The double last final season was flat, despite one or two stand outs.
It will get rebooted
With new voice actors doing pitch-perfect impressions.
No way is Disney going to let that giant pile of money sit there.
Oh yeah, they don't have the "it's not our ip so we have to make it look different" excuse now either do they.
Zoomers don't care about The Simpsons and Boomers aren't interested in a Reboot. The Simpsons is still on air because people like routine, it's like comfortable old socks.
Aside from this and the movie rights for marvel characters fox had what else of worth do they get anyway?
The newer seasons was a mixed bag but it still was better than most tv. Honestly i'd just like one or two more to finish everything off for good.
I want them to go into it knowing that they got two and just wrap it up, the last episode was really nice but the other characters got left behind.
This is so unfunny that it would fit right in.
Family Guy
Alien?
Is this bait? It's yellow because it's the simpsons.
sneed
James Cameron's Avatar, King of the Hill (that's had reboot whispers for years), FX
I'm sure there's more...
ownership of hulu another streaming service, all the 21st century fox properties (dozens and dozens of IPs partly or wholly owned by fox), numerous TV shows, seth mac-fucking-farlane and all his family guy orville "LOL FRANK SINATRA IMPERSONATION" bullshit, licensing rights to at least 730 properties, for both cinematic and television ventures. The contracts for numerous tv personalities, meaning they can pull popular actors on a show and "persuade" them to do disney projects if they weren't doing them already.
I'm only gonna start worrying when Disney manages to buy a japanese company, because at that point they'll have made the final step towards owning every media studio on the planet
for now, the japanese laws are still holding them back, but I'm sure Disney can figure out ways to circumvent that
I would, but then I'd get erased for harboring images harmful to our god-corporation.
>film released 68 years ago

What?

>I tell you hwat

NONO MAKE IT STOP
Weren't they recently renewed for at least 2 more seasons?
Disney is the most conservative of the megacorps, what u smoking. You bitches forgot promise rings?
what pills are they eating?
Star Wars Episode 4
They're too big to be one side or the other. They do whatever they believe will get them money.
Birth control pills, judging by the shirts and pills.
estrogens as part of their HRT
They recently released a live action remake like they did with Jungle Book and now Lion King and Aladdin with Will Smith as the Genie
That genderfluid starchild aint right
>disney buys nintendo
>disney buys the world
>Money
Simpsons has been bled dry. Why Fox even bothers renewing it every year is beyond sanity.
Disney doesn't seem interested in extending into videogames and seems content to gobble up everything else. It's a good thing video games can be self published, so you don't always have to go through some media giant to get your game out.
>Nintendo buys disney
>t. retarded user.
They'll have to compete with jewgle for that.
>KotH
>A showthat deals with Hank's metrosexual son, Dale getting BLACKED behind his back and Bill's life
There's no way they'd touch that shit any more than they would Beavis and Butthead

A long time ago those teeth would have been very attractive to me but I'm a new man now
It seems like only DIsney is doing better among entertainment industy. Any other big publisher or IP holders ended up losing values of many precious IPs due to inner troubles to manage these fucking many IPs at the same time, like EA, Activison, WB, and DC. I just think the fact that Disney are just doing is an exceptional case, and it will not last forever. Bigger you are, more power to advertise or magnify your brands you have, which is surely true, but I feel the demerit of "economies of scale" is sometimes overlooked, and it tends to not work especially with creative works like games and movies, unlike some kinds of services that Tech companies such as Google provide to the market.
Well, lets wait and see how long Disney will maintain its ever-growing momentum.
Pretty much any pre war nip company is forever safe unless they personally sell their IPs or die.
They means Disney could buy Sony to get spiderman back but not Nintendo.
>Disney buys Google
where can I sign up to be a mouse masked soldier for corporate? That'd be fuckin sweet. only if I get a free sub to disney plus though.
Nintendo might be a huge company, but Disney is magnitudes huger
>Disney buys Studio Trigger
Just you wait. Disney will buy EA
Moichendising! Moichendising! Where the real money from the TV show is made!
I don't know but after the Mouse drops the Happiest Nukes on Earth, I'll know what I'll be dressed as.
The trick up Nintendo's sleeve is having the most profitable franchise in the world with Pokemon.
>Disney buys Studio Trigger
>tfw you miss Rupert Murdoch

MAKE PURCHASE OF THE MERCHANDISE
You didn't for once think it weird that sony moved HQ from japan to the states?
Not once at all did it ever cross your mind it might be to circumvent those laws preventing foreigners from purchasing the companies on jap soil?
while im pounding their pussy?
that would just be confusing, what if she starts putting fingers up your nose?
Having 100% ownership of Star Wars (the franchise) given that the distribution rights for Star Wars (the movie) was still owned by fox in perpetuity.
Now if only they'd release the cleaned up theatrical versions of the original trilogy on bly-ray, though knowing Lucas he probably had it in his contract to Disney buying Lucasarts that would never see the light of day.
user do you know what net worth is? Do you know how companies work?
Sony's HQ is still in tokyo, though. The one that was moved into the US is SIE.
Sony'S operative income in 2018 is almost a half of disney's. I dont think Disney can buy Sony itself.
I'M GONNA CUUUUUUUUM
>Not once at all did it ever cross your mind it might be to circumvent those laws preventing foreigners from purchasing the companies on jap soil?
Sony wasn't protected by them anyway.
*operating income
Yeah but it's the animated one one live action.
No. They're just buying them up to create monopolies and then destroying the IPs after. It makes everything worse for the consumer
>Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Super Sentai Cinematic Universe
Nahh, as it's usually done to stilfe competing IPs
I dont think Japanese campanies can be bought by american companies while they are doing fine. Japanese would not allow it happens.
it was before Disney fully took over. they will ride it out for a while before realizing it's a money sink and not worth maintaining for the soft power alone
it's gonna be Muppets all over again
What's so dangerous is that Disney isn't even owned by the Disney family. It's owned by the Jewish Mafia. They were forced to sell despite the fact that the Disney brand is one of the most successful brands ever.
They're pretty much already in a single universe except for probably Kyuranger, pre merge Build and the AR worlds.
Are there still Disney family members? I thought Walt only had one daughter who already died.
How many years left until THQnordic, Cygames and Tencent take over the gaming industry?
Depends on if Nintendo die.
I think THQNordic are overextending and will crash and burn in a few years. Unless their plan is just to hold the more AA tier of gaming, which could work. Don't know Cygames but Tencent is likely just going to keep growing. I'm betting they hit EA first, get that FIFA and Madden money right away.
Anyone else feel sad watching this?
No someone pounds you
Fire emblem is still getting games though.
>hates jews
>entire company ends up being taken by them
Greatest case of poetic justice?
why is Matt Groening happy to run the Simpsons into the ground?
they literally have more terrible seasons than good ones at this point, and it was at one point the greatest show on television.
surely he made enough money from it that he doesn't need to destroy it in this painful way?
My memory is too fuzzy to remember the 90's properly but I feel like 9-ish seasons of Seinfeld esque quality shouldn't be enough to guarantee a show runs into the next century. Better shows (Than the new seasons at least) have been inexplicably cancelled for pettier reasons.
Maybe it's just a Sesame Street thing where it somehow just keeps existing through some strange loophole.
He's rich. Why would he be bothered?
I fucking haaated the last season of Futurama it was way too topical and you could tell the writing was not even near the same level it used to be.
Remember the “iFad” or the “eye-phone”?
Garbage.
Walt didn't hate jews. That was a rumor spread by a jewish businessman after Walt declined a terrible deal with him.
He already told us

bros?
Youre just a nostalgic boomer or something who watched it a long time ago
I marathoned all 30ish seasons in a row a few years ago and the only bad season I remember was 20. Some of the most recent episodes are the best in series history
RIP avengers emh
that's the opposite of poetic justice
EA has always been clumsy as shit in aquiring stuff and managing to make it profitable, just look at all the studio corpses scattered on the feet of the company.
Disney despite being a slime monster sucking in everything in its path is managing to find ways to gain money efficiently from most of the aquisitions. There's difference between a simple act and the method tied to it.
>Some of the most recent episodes are the best in series history
>Bart joins a group of feminists which later Lisa hijacks the attention from
>Bart becomes a e-sport star only to get everything ruined by Lisa
>nuLisa episodes in general
Now, Disney buying EA? THAT would be poetic justice.
Where would all those studios that ea acquired be today if they weren’t
A monopoly is never good. At least not for the customer.
Which is you, by the way.
hello again
>in a parallel universe, Richard Garriot has managed to finally tell the tale of Ultima as he intended, concluding detaildly and poetically the destruction of Britannia due to Lord British and the Avatar's overestimating the Virtues and underestimating the power of Mondain's gem
I'm still mad.
keep going
I can't wait for Western civilization to collapse.
This revisionism is hilarious.
What i fucking hate about this fucking flash-made animation is that every year that passes The Simpsons have more and more hard shadows. Look at the fucking shadows in this video.
In a couple years they will be just black blobs.
but user... that's forbidden
Sony is gearing up to fill the void disney has long forgotten.
>"Bart, I'm piss"
Holy shit, you are a retard mongoloid.
>"who cares about fucking Yea Forums garbage?"
>see nat geo logo
I am sure some good fellas will make us able to get it neatly and for free. I'm sucker for documentary.
Tbf sesame street has the excuse of teaching new kids stuff which really isn't a bad thing, quality aside
simpson's got where it was by being genuinely good and has been unable to be that for a long time
Hmm, the Simpsons are already ultra shitty. It just can't get any worse right?
Disney + seems like a good deal if you have kids and want to shut them up in front of the TV for awhile. I don't personally want to rewatch the same 6 good seasons of the simpsons, childrens movies and capeshit, but I know im in the minority. $7.99 to give the people what they want. What's to hate?
user, you absolute virgin omega male. Birth control pills come as single pills and are bloody expensive.
That looks nothing like birth control, unless that tab of 36 pills costs like $600
they tried so hard to force emotional moments, the one where they reveal hermes built bender was shit and the very last ep was very mediocre. I did like the last one with his mom.
The rebooted eps really just weren't that great all in all. I didn't think it was that bad until I rewatched the series back to back and the precancellation seasons were so much better it wasn't even funny. Not simpsons or family guy bad but noticeably not as witty
I just realized Disney now holds Bob's Burgers hostage too
No, you are.
These are the best Simpsons episodes ever in my opinion. Keep in mind I got really high before watching each episode so that greatly influenced the results

>most of these are just lisa centred episodes
user just admit you want to diddle Lisa and move on
>nuLisa episodes in general
You mean every episode? I'm exaggerating but the writers obviously love her because she's shoved into a bunch of shit she doesn't need to be.
That's because it was. The voice actors have so much money and leverage over the show now, that they've been recording their lines from home for over a decade now. They each get paid like $50 million a year to read some lines over skype for 30 minutes a week.
Because he's literally a jew.
>obviously love her because she's shoved into a bunch of shit she doesn't need to be.
Also because she's their liberal mouthpiece and also because her VA only voices literally one character unlike the other family members, they have to do more episodes where's the focus to warrant the absurd paycheck she gets every episode
>Keep in mind I got really high before watching each episode
So you are actually a retard, got it.
I do, she is the best character, although there was one episode she was being a bitch and I stopped liking her
You what mate? What I'm looking at has it priced in the 2-3k yen range over the for the month over there, and it certainly can come in sheets over there.
