Here's a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed. Imo this is bad and will just lead to more cookie cutter shows and movies designed to appeal to the lowest common dominator.

Disney owns way too much shit.

100%. They seem intent on making the same cookie cutter movies and tvs shows so people will be conditioned to only like that style. The establishment of the Walt Disney company and its consequences have been a disaster for the entertainment world.

Disney already owned well over 50% of Hulu, many of their shows on there are already on Disney+ outside the US. IMO this is nothing like Disney buying Star Wars or Marvel or ESPN or Fox.

Here's a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed.

Those are companies that Disney has acquired over decades, they didn't create any of them

In before Disney Jedi kids camp comedy.

Well, they wouldn't be far from that. I mean, they did completely erase a whole universe of continuity and dictated their own canon over the license. And they'll make said jedi kids camp canon somehow and will crowbar that into mainline canon too. Because we can't have nice things, we can't have mature narratives or things that actually constitute as world building, instead they stifle and neuter any of that.

Nobody really creates anything anymore. They only acquire, which is exactly what this whole list details. There's more of Disney acquiring than they did creating.
