Why Is Warner Bros. for Sale at All?

5. Disney is a massive empire, however, they were smart about it.

When they took Marvel, everyone thought it was a waste of money, they got all the characters no one else wanted, but saw value and well, we know how that worked out. Even buying the ones Marvel had sold off later, only Spider Man remains and unable to use some of them on the east side of the Mississippi for their attractions. Universal is probably holding on to that to get something they want later.

Warner Brothers on the other hand, made some really bad merger choices. Disney walked away from buying twitter as they knew it would not fit their formula. WB, should have looked harder at AOL. Not that Disney hasn't made a few bad choices every now and then, they bought Lycos and renamed it "Go". Obviously it didn't catch on, but they didn't get into a bidding war over it and got it cheap.
