OT: Jets Lounge: post-Jedi edition

OMG, I know. Isn't that the best? I think The Chipmunk is my favorite episode.

The Disney purchase of Fox's movie assets is official. That means the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are gonna be in the MCU. Also means some major Marvel villains like Dr. Doom and Galactus will finally be done properly. Oh the possibilities. I'm assuming they are going to finish the current slate of X-Men movies and reboot the lot? Logan was a fantastic movie, Deadpool was fun but I haven't liked the general direction the X-Men movies have been going in (X-Men: Apocalypse was pretty terrible).

Been my personal nerd dream for the last 10 years to see all of the Marvel heroes under one banner and interacting on screen.

All Disney has to do now is acquire the Walking Dead rights, and we'll have the greatest multiverse mish mash ever. X-Men! Avengers! Zombies! Oh hell, let's throw some vampires and werewolves in, too! Kate Beckinsale and Scarlett Johansson in the same movie? How bad could that be?

Disney to produce R-Rated films like Deadpool.

We now have confirmation from the head of Disney himself, CEO Bob Iger, that Deadpool can remain R-rated at Disney. In fact, if Iger's comments are any indication, this acquisition and, more specifically, gaining Deadpool indicate a willingness by Disney to branch out into the R-rated film business.

Iger is completely behind embracing that mature nature of Deadpool and wants to allow the franchise to continue forward as initially planned. Deadpool and its sequels now have the support of Iger, and we can expect to see more R-rated content from our favorite Merc with a Mouth and one of our favorite comic book actors, Ryan Reynolds.

I don't see why they wouldn't keep Deadpool R-Rated, the Marvel Netflix shows are pretty close to R-Rated in language/tone/violence.

I know you are being sarcastic, but to be fair, combining the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers is NOT a mish-mash of universes, it's just how it should have always been. This is a result of Marvel selling the movie rights to however would by them in the 90s when they were hard up for cash, so a lot of the characters went to different film studios. In the comics, Wolverine was in fact an Avengers member for about 10 years, and Rogue and a few other X-Men are now Avengers members. The Walking Dead is an Image Comics property, so I doubt that has ever been or will be a goal of theirs. This is about bringing the Marvel characters back under one umbrella. Disney also acquired the rights to Aliens and Avatar but you won't be seeing any combinations of these properties. It's about as likely as seeing a Star Wars and Marvel movie (ie won't happen).

If you want Marvel and Zombies, I direct you to the "Marvel Zombies" comic books haha. The first few series were fun. It's a play on Marvel fans being called "Marvel Zombies"

Well, I don't read the comics, I have only the movies/TV shows to go on. Personally, I don't want an "everybody into the (dead)pool" approach. And if they ever pollute my Agents of SHIELD with those whiny CW types on The Gifted, I may undergo terrigenesis and...

Excited to hear what people thought of the new Star Wars movie. Watched it a couple of weeks ago and have been wanting to discuss with people

In other news... Has anyone watched Norsemen on Netflix? It's Norwegian and really funny imo.

If you do discuss it, please use the [SPOILER] tags.

MacDon Industry sold for 1.2 billion. A bit sad news to hear that a very successful company won’t be locally owned anymore.

Alright, I can't figure this out. How the heck do I change my signature on this new site? Halp plz.

Oh do I have some things to say about this movie, saw it last night and I have to say in a non-spoiler way that this isn't your typical Star Wars movie, it detaches itself from Star Wars normality yet keeps enough of the nostalgia that made you fall in love with the franchise in the first place.

This movie has some of the best SW action scenes I have seen since Empire, it for sure has the best writing and acting of all the films, simply put I loved it and it will make you pleasantly pee yourself, LUKE F'N SKYWALKER!

Can't wait for Uber in Winnipeg.....the cab companies in this city need competition so badly. I am a frequent Uber user when I travel and its killing me to be subjected to this old world cab only life in Winnipeg. I booked a cab on line for tonight and have no faith it will show up. I would love to follow up on the phone to confirm but they have been busy for an hour. I get this is the busy season but it is just more proof of how badly we need Uber.

Uber can't come soon enough.

Saw Episode 8 tonight - I highly recommend it for anyone who remotely enjoys Star Wars. The best one yet. Mark Hamill has come a long way since the late 70's! The acting was superb.

Holden and I aren't seeing it until the 23rd. Avoiding spoilers until then

If you are referring to the text that appears under your avatar, that is called "custom title" the one that says "playoffs start now" for you.

I believe this is what Turbofan wants to change. The signature is what gets added at the end of a message.

I don't know about Turbofan but the "Signature" option is the only one absent from my list. Perhaps it's only available to Sponsors or Mods or Admins?

@jefferoni - you're correct. Sig's are a sponsor only perk. Completely forgot about that.
