In the future? Disney will have the keys to Fox’s famous franchises like Alien and Planet Of The Apes, the latter of which it reportedly already has plans for – not to mention the potential to bring the X-Men and Fantastic Four into the MCU. For now, it mostly means a slimmed-down version of the existing Fox slate of movies arriving under the Disney banner, and the likes of Avatar and The Simpsons being available on Disney+. While the real ramifications won’t be felt for perhaps a few years yet, it signals a significant shift – one of the longest-running Hollywood studios being subsumed by a fellow filmmaking behemoth. READ: Game Of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 6 Review Disney acquires 21st Century FoxĪround 18 months after it was first mooted, the deal went through: The Walt Disney Company bought Fox. Whether the final season is eventually remembered as a downright disappointment, a noble failure, or an underappreciated ending, it was a fearless finale for the biggest, most cinematic TV show of all time. Others lauded a well-intentioned attempt to stick the dragon-landing. Everyone had an opinion – and those who hated it even petitioned for a re-do. For some fans, wrapping up the whole story in just six episodes resulted in rushed storytelling and questionable character motivations, in (ahem) stark contrast to the incredibly measured pacing of the early seasons. It was, objectively, Thrones at its most epic – even bigger battles, irreversible razings of beloved locations – but it came at a cost. With its eighth season, HBO’s fantasy behemoth Game Of Thrones came to an end – a shorter run of six episodes, taking in the battle between humanity and the White Walkers, Daenerys’ quest for the Iron Throne, and endings for dozens of surviving characters.
