I don't even know that the billions are the most important part at this point.

Starting with no control over bankable IP and no catalog of decades worth of classic content feels like it makes competing anytime soon impossible.

Competitors to these kinds of companies can't just spring up over night. They'd have to be built out of something much much smaller over the course of a lot of time.

You know what solves that problem? Billions.

(in all seriousness, you bring up a great point. You'd need a huge amount of money and the IP. Without both, this isn't working.)

I mean they are definitely important haha.

There's a huge difference between Marvel now and Marvel when Disney acquired it though.

And that took over a decade to build.
