What If? Disney bought the rights to every Indie Comicbook Industry?

[CarlManvers2019]

Given that Disney bought Marvel a long time ago, I’m wondering, what would they do if they had the properties to every single indie comicbook company in a the West

The European comicbook industry included

How fast and just how much will they proceed to screw them all over or decide they can use their stuff to make cartoons and live action tv shows?

How badly do they fall?

Please don't give them any ideas...

They already want to expand, even further, they’re like Electronic Arts, surviving buy buying a successful company and living off its’ success till it gives out



They depend on fans who are already highly attached to a franchise or series, who will come even if its crap

Giving them ideas? They just don’t feel like doing it yet or don’t see enough value in these lesser known(mimetically speaking)”indies”

 

[LifeisTiresome]

Meh, don't care as I don't watch tv or any streaming shit. As long as manga and anime are not touched. I'm fine.

How fast and just how much will they proceed to screw them all over or decide they can use their stuff to make cartoons and live action tv shows?

Why not both?

This include Web Comics?

Pretty sure that this becomes a massive anti-trust case, and the governments of the world lose their patience with Disney. So to not go on a long tangent, they tool mickey mouse up.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Anti-trust law is a law that aims to maintain competition by preventing monopolies either by breaking a company up or preventing it from acquiring other companies.

Oh, what could Disney do to work around that?

Bribes. Loads and loads of bribes.

 

[CarlManvers2019]

Bribes. Loads and loads of bribes.

What about Public Opinion? Also, yeah they will still buy from those newly bought sub-companies for years until they really really really get shittier than ever, even then there will still be buyers

Given how much they’ve been confirmed as padding their books and earnings within even our own universe, I don’t think that would be very viable.

I was thinking of their history of manipulating the system so that they can have infinite copyright.

True, but it won’t help them if their company collapses underneath its own weight.

One can only hope. And hope that it happens soon.

Thing is, as much as I hate all those Commies or edgy douchebags talking about "End-Stage Capitalism", they may have a point in that some companies get too rich and strong to the point that they're no longer simply beholden to the basic principles of capitalism and customer trust

People are addicted to specific companies and some companies almost always have more than enough money to buy something else out and live off it without making much profit

I’m in complete agreement there. Something has got to be done because this is just getting out of hand.
