[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8137754, member: 6802378"] In the past Hasbro and Mattel negotiated a merger/fusion but in the end Mattel said no. I wouldn't be very surprised if Hasbro buys Asmodee Games. I notice perfectly a Warner/Disney merger is a too fool idea, but in this last all companies are losing money by fault of the epidemic and now some merger or acquisition may be possible because any companies aren't able to survive the current economic crisis. And my intuition says me the 2021 will be the year of a radical cultural change in our society and this will affect the entertaiment industry. And I feel the presentiment 2021 is going to be an "annus horriblis", a bad year, for Disney, and I don't talk about economic profits but something more like some scandal or like this damaging the reputation. Hasbro notices if it's bought by Disney it will lose licences with other companies, for example Warner. I guess it would rather to be still independient but it makes a lot of money with Disney franchises. The audience not only wants to watch fun and good movies, but they start to miss characters who are right mentors and true fountain of wisdow. The audience notices the difference between an author sharing wisdow or only telling propaganda or "aggresive (ideologic) proselytizing", or the difference between strong characters or another boring and annoying Mary Sue/Marty Stu. And today lots of authors aren't welcome if they don't [I]"dance certain music"[/I]. The audience doesn't identify with most of new characters from the speculative fiction The true goal of the D&D movie is to promote the brand, to sell more merchadicing products. I guess the strategy by the megacorporations for this economic crisis caused by the epidemic is to hang on the storm and maybe leverage to buy some little company what is being destroyed, sinking because they are very cheap now. Hasbro, Disney or others will not buy but if they believe there is a good opportunity. [/QUOTE]
