Yep...
The FCC did not follow its own internal rules regarding open discussion and on-line commentary... nor did they investigate allegations their commentary system was suspiciously down at points this year regarding it, nor did they apparently respond to freedom of information requests as they are supposed to by law.

From what I understand, the deal won't be finalized for at least a year. So we still have a lot of time to see if Disney will be willing to follow Fox's lead and put out R-rated Marvel films.
From a financial standpoint - given the huge success of Deadpool and Logan - it's a no-brainer. But this is Disney, so...
Who knows?

They won't have a problem putting out R rated anything. Just might not have the castle logo at the start of it.
There is no way Disney could logically retcon the X-men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe this late into the game. Mutants would have been around for a long time before all these world threatening events started happening and they absolutely would have been mentioned and shown up by now. Plus they've already changed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch into volunteer science experiments who were given their powers by the Mind Gem.
Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom and Deadpool could be worked in with a bit of tweaking though. I would love to finally see a live action Dr. Doom who isn't a complete loser.

Retcon Scarlet Witch into X-Men and pull the trigger? Although X-men already has had a "Lets start from scratch again" arc and doing it again might just end horribly for both universes.
The point being, massive retcon's are a thing, and while "don't fix what's not broken" is a thing, not using the newly reclaimed assets would start pissing fans off. Find a 'subtle' or handwavy way and it can be done. Just don't have the mutant from that horrible tv show on fox open a gateway into avengers towers, and you should be good.

Buena Vista:
Miramax:
Disney no longer owns Miramax, Buena Vista is now officially rebranded under a Disney title, and Touchstone... The only film Touchstone has coming out is Glass, the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan movie.
With as many alt-universes and cosmic BS that goes on in Marvel?
DC has stuff like that, but Marvel practically runs on it these days.
We're at the point where that kind of stuff is possible now that they have Dr. Strange and some of the more off the wall franchises doing well, such as Guardians of the Galaxy, which has always been about weird cosmic stuff. Adam Warlock has been teased in Guardians 2, which only opens the door for stuff like that even more.
Hell, the Spider-verse movie coming out next year gets directly into it. I know it's Sony, but it does establish this sort of thing for Marvel in the movies.
They could make an X-men movie that revolves around an 'event' that merges the two worlds without disrupting the current MCU plan or doing a complete reboot of the X-men stuff.
It will be fun to hear Deadpool comment on it when he gets a movie after all this is done.
It could be an aftereffect of any number of things that occur in the MCU as well. Some form of energy from the infinity stones, something Thanos does that causes lingering radiation, the Chitauri invasion having some form of after effect that took a while to manifest, something that happens in Captain Marvel involving the Kree that activates dormant genes that were only active in a few prior to whatever unlocks them. [Allowing for Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, and a handful of other mutants to be older.]
Any number of Marvel villains could also kickstart some sort of mutant surge. Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, High Evolutionary, etc...
It's a comic book movie, they can manage it pretty easily.
Also, the state of things in the MCU kind of makes things ripe for mutant hatred with how controversial super heroes and the damage they cause already are.
Infinity War isn't likely to help with that any if the trailers are any indication.
The X-men won't be that hard to work into things.
I also really want a Fantastic Four movie that doesn't suck and a legit Dr. Doom. He'd make a great big bad for the phase after they've finished with Thanos. A FF movie would be a great way to introduce him.

Forest for the trees. The point is that Disney isn't shy about making R rated movies, never really has been, and have ways of distributing them.
They just won't have the castle splash at the start of the movie or the name "Disney" directly on the marketing. The Marvel stuff doesn't anyway as far as I recall.
Bob Iger has already said that R rated Marvel films will be a thing in the future if the property is appropriate for it. He directly cited Deadpool and Logan as examples.

Drat... I saw the newest Geico commercial... well, I know that that is what it is *now*... I had thought it was actually and truly a trailer for a new sci fi movie...
Pity... the battle looked interesting... came across as a Orville Competitor...
In other news... it is cold... snowblowed the driveway 3 of the last 4 days. am expecting to have to do so again tomorrow.
Going to have to break out the comedy parody remix varients of 'Let It Snow', like
Bob Herzog - Just Don't Go (Frozen 'Let it Go' Parody)
or
Polar Vortex - It Is Cold - Let It Go parody
Also....
I've had a song going through my head a lot this last week since I had inadvertantly was with my nephew while he was watching the Lego movie... I then looked up the Awesome song and been playing a lot three different versions I've found on-line... favorite seems to be the Ninjago remix version.

In fairness to me... had I seen that like you, I would have realized it was not real right off...
I saw it on the top page of YouTube.... and while I know they do sometimes play advertising at the top on the side, I caught this one top center when I first went to the site and I did not seen any initial indicator it was a mere advertisement

Well... there goes my Christmas. Going to have to call out an insurance agent and/or a water proofer. I have a small puddle of water building near one of my walls in the basement... it is either a crack in the wall or seepage from where the wall meets the floor.
Since I'm doubtful I'll get a hold of anyone today I'm not even going to try, so it will have to be sometime in the next couple days, with likely not getting someone out to look probably til after the new year.
