Reply to comment by kupo88 in Was the fox buyout worth it for Disney? by CardiologistOwn5612

> Fox had Marvel properties and Disney wanted them so they bought Fox.

Except it's wrong, Disney didn't buy Fox for a few Marvel right, that would be a disastrous purchase to pay 71 billions for that. They bought it for the whole studios and the catalogue of movies/TV they got to launch their streaming service and because Fox was selling anyway and they'd prefer to be the ones to get it. It also wasn't a big company buying a small one. Fox was almost as big as Disney.

As I said, the purchase would have been made exactly the same if Fox didn't have Marvel rights

I understand what you're saying, but everything I'm saying is my opinion on the primary reason for their purchase. I was obviously not in the room when the decision was made so all I can provide are my thoughts and opinions.

If people's thoughts and opinions aren't what you're looking for I don't understand why you brought this to Reddit.

They bought Fox because they were launching a streaming service and wanted more content for it. Bob Iger said as much.

The primary reason for the acquisition was not Fox's Marvel properties.
