    Perfect comment at 6:36 . Puts all the rumors about them Disney'fying all their properties. I knew from the moment I heard about this deal that Disney would be looking to setup a seperation between family friendly and mature content instead of shying away from it. They know that, esspecially with Fox out of the picture, there is money to be had there.

    Disney Studios itself likely won't, due to their family friendly image. It will likely be done by Marvel Studios itself, or another Disney arm more suited for R rated content. Disney lets Marvel Studios do whatever they want, so whichever studio does Deadpool they will likely let them do what they like.

    The only reason the Disney company lasted as long as it did was because of Roy; plain and simple. Roy kept the businessmen in check and booted them when they got out of control. Every time Disney tried to stop making movies and only bought the rights to other stuff, he got a new CEO and the company was back on track (Miller, Eisner). The problem is, now that the Disneys are dead for good, there is nobody to stop Iger and the company is already in the toilet. He has let Lassiter ruin the parks and produces garbage movies aimed at helicopter moms. Their film company is in the toilet so he has been buying like crazy (star wars, marvel, fox) but the company has completely stopped producing. Just like the housing market collapse in 2007/2008, the stat sheets show huge profits when nothing is actually being produced. The company/parks will start to resemble Universal Studios in roughly 10 years or less. The only way to save the company temporarily is to put Eisner back in charge. At least he is producing/winning awards with Bojack Horseman and knows to stay away from Lassiter/Pixar........... #goodbyeDisney
