At this point in time, the alternative was Comcast... Who I have no positive feelings about.
I'll take the UberMouse.

I know it's coming... But I look at it this way:
We have children in Concentration Camps, for the "crime" of seeking asylum, with those in power and their base laughing at it all, the fucking Cheeto-In-Chief is about to dramatically restructure the Supreme Court and American laws for the next generation or more, unarmed black kids are being shot in the back by cops in alarming numbers and WYPIPO will defend it, our election process is even MORE of a sham than ever (and probably compromised to boot), we have Nazis proudly walking our streets, Net Neutrality is gone, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security is about to be gutted, the EPA has been neutered, we're at antagonistic relationships with Canada, Germany, Mexico and China, while we're blowing Putin's dick and giving Kim Jong Un more freedom to build nuclear weapons and we're probably heading toward a second Civil War... And that feeling I used to have as a kid, where I would have trouble falling asleep, because I thought the world was going to end because Russia was going to nuke us is now back again, but this time, I'm afraid of our own government, the cops and our own civilians...
Fuck it.
Nothing matters anymore.
Might as well give the Mouse the Fox and give us a good Fantastic Four before we all fucking die.

Die? Nah. Mass exodus to Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand? Possibly.

Comcast has officially thrown in the towel. The Mouse seems free and clear.

Well, it's official. The Disney-Fox buyout is happening. The X-Men and FF are coming home.
I would expect a last minute name drop in Avengers 4 or whatever the next Marvel movie is after that to happen, similar to Spider-Man's mention in Ant-Man.
So who's left now?
Spider-Man at Sony and Namor & Hulk at Universal?

Spider-Man at Sony and Namor & Hulk at Universal? Sony is not selling back Spider-Man. Best we can hope for is a continuance of the current situation where Sony realizes the character is in better hands, and more profitable, with Marvel. I also think Sony may come around to letting Marvel shepherd the entire Spidey catalog, especially after Venom bombs (which it should) and Spider-Verse underperfoms (which it should). Hulk, I'm OK with the current situation with him cycling in and out of Avengers films. There's only so much you can stretch out of the "Hulk vs army" plots, and his (arguably) most iconic story has already been done in Ragnarok. When Ruffalo is done, introduce Jen Walters who they can connect to both Avengers and FF. Namor sucks. He's only been good as an Invader and as an FF villain. Beyond that, writers haven't been able to decide what he is. Good? Bad? Avenger? Mutant? Mentally ill? There's also the issue of his and Aquaman's origin being exactly the same. If Aquaman is a hit and becomes a franchise, we won't see Namor. If Aquaman bombs, maybe, maybe they'll look at bringing Namor into the FF franchise 5 or more years down the road. I assume Marvel can work the same deal with Namor as they did with the Hulk if they so choose.
