Yup. It's a little unclear who owns what when it comes to some characters but Galactus was in the second F4 movie they made so he must have been part of the F4 package of characters.
I think there are a few international markets that have yet to approve, but most of the big ones have said OK (given certain conditions). It'll almost certainly go ahead, to the detriment of basically everyone and everything except people who want to see certain characters show up in the MCU.

Getting the Marvel characters is a bonus. I still say the real point of the deal is to consolidate the Star Wars rights.

Well, the real point of the deal is to play Monopoly and win.
I dunno about that. New Mutants was presumably going to kick off a new franchise. They tried to launch F4 again only to have it spectacularly fail, but I doubt it would have been the last try. Deadpool would have cranked out more sequels.
I mean, fox was looking to sell anyway. If it wasn't Disney, it would have been Comcast
Comcast trying to run a movie studio would have been one hell of a train wreck.
Comcast already owns NBCUniversal. They've been running a major movie studio for over 8 years.
That doesn't really refute the post. Universal has been a shitshow for years now. I've not forgotten the failed Dark Universe or the terrible Harry Potter spinoffs.

The first Fantastic Beasts movie was great and the second one wasn’t all that bad, and still made 650 million dollars worldwide.

Potter is Warner Bros. Universal has Fast and Furious, which is one of the most successful franchises in cinema right now.
• M.O.D.O.K. centers around an egomaniacal supervillain with a really big head and a really little body, who struggles to maintain control of his evil organization and his demanding family. Writers Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt will also executive produce.
• Hit-Monkey tells the tale of a wronged Japanese snow monkey, mentored by the ghost of an American assassin, as he cuts a wide swath through the Tokyo underworld in this darkly cinematic and brutally funny revenge saga. Writers Josh Gordon and Will Speck will executive produce.
• Tigra & Dazzler Show is a story about two woke superheroes and best friends, Tigra and Dazzler, as they fight for recognition among powered people who make up the eight million stories in Los Angeles. Writers Erica Rivinoja and Chelsea Handler serve as executive producers.
• Howard the Duck is trapped in a world he never made, but America’s favorite fighting fowl hopes to return home with the help of his unstoppable gal pal Beverly before the evil Dr. Bong can turn him the crispiest dish on the menu. Writers Kevin Smith and Dave Willis will also executive produce.
• The Offenders follows MODOK, Dazzler, Tigra, Hit Monkey and Howard the Duck as they are all forced to team up in order to save the world and certain parts of the universe.
So basically, the Avengers, but for Adult Swim stoners.

The thing that gets me isn't just that they're doing these cracked-out characters, but the fact they got crazy-talented executive producers for them all.

Hit-Monkey was a poor joke that never seemed to end for a year or two, I will never fully understand Way's Deadpool being that successful.
All of them don't sound good to me, Howard the Duck has the most potential but I see Kevin Smith's name and I already checked out.
Just do Bob Agent of Hydra and make it just like Sealab there you go I just made Marvel all the Funko Pop money and the crowning meme of the first week of November 2019.

Universal has finished ahead of Fox when it comes to studio market share every year from 2011-now, except 2016. And in that year Fox finished with 12.9% market share to Universal's 12.4%.
I'd rather not see Comcast in charge of another major studio, but they have been running one for 8 years and it has been more successful than you would think. The only studios that consistently finish ahead of them are Disney and Warner Bros.

I know some people are way opposed to Kevin Smith but I've enjoyed most of his stuff and he's also written comics that have been generally well received.

His Daredevil and Green Arrow were great, no denying that. His Spider-Man/Black Cat (outside of Dodson's art) and his Batman mini series with his buddy Walt were crap though.
And while I still enjoy Clerks thru Dogma, his filmwork has really fallen off consistently and Yoga Hosers was terrible.

They all have potential, but Ibneed to see some in action first.
Non-comic book Marvel has really hammered home the “Hydra = Nazi” thing.
Probably too much so for them to use Bob in this day and age without some serious alterations. And even at that point, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble.

Kevin Smith has done some good Marvel stuff. His Daredevil story was one of my favorites.
Didn't Bob show up in the Deadpool movie as a random merc?
Yeah, but he wasn't Bob From Hydra, he was Bob From Whatever Merc Group Ajax Was Using.
Bob the merc could have been Bob the ex-Hydra since a paycheck is a paycheck and his job skills aren't thattransferable. Could do a banality of evil thing, though I'm not sure that Deadpool is the place to try and pull that off.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!

It's a decent place to act like you're about to and then crack a joke, like with interrupting Colossus's speech about what makes a hero by definitely not being a hero.
They missed the chance to make it a running gag in DP2. "Bob!? What are doing guarding the dorms on Neverland Ranch?" "Well, you killed my former employer and there's only so many jobs in the shouting and stomping industry and -" *punch* "Boring conversation anyway."
It's a quick enough bit for Bob to just show up in whatever group of disposable mooks Deadpool is killing this week.
Heh, this page is like 10MB of Javascript instead of 1995-era raw HTML. Would've taken about 45 minutes to download on a 1995-era 28.8 modem, on a good day.
That just makes me wonder if there's anyone working for Marvel (or their ad agency, or whatever) who even knows how to code in raw HTML, rather than some web-authoring app. I imagine it's a skill that's joined the likes of soap-making or flint-knapping.

A lot of old HTML stuff that we took for granted in those days (like the marquee tag) have been deprecated over the years. I doubt you could do that all in raw HTML anymore.

Raw, probably not, but I do keep an archive of old crap like that to make your eyeballs/eardrums bleed that I can drop in pretty easy via xml and CSS to emulate the classics on modern layouts.
I had lots of fun pissing colleagues off when AJAX was a thing by having asynchronous calls on a random timer so at some point in the first 5 minutes they'd be on a page "Peanut Butter Jelly Time!" would flood in at 100% volume.
