By non-transferable, like it says on the comment I linked, it essentially means that the X-Men and Fantastic Four rights can only be in two places. Remaining with Fox, or going back to Marvel. If Comcast bought up the movie and TV assets, then those rights wouldn't be included, and automatically revert back to Marvel. So no matter who ends up buying the assets, it's a win for Marvel fans (though not so sure about Star Wars fans, since I don't know if the original cuts are non-transferable or not).

Yeah, I'm aware it's only going to be that section (probably should've worded it better) in order to focus on news (hence why I said "I smell Trump"). For the ones you've mentioned, getting all the Star Wars rights back is pretty much a necessity. As for Hulu, it would be interesting if they did that since that would give them a 60% majority ownership of the company, but I'm honestly pondering if they'll do that given Disney's plans on making their own streaming service.

And for Marvel, that explains a whole lot, but also leaves me pretty bummed. In my ideal situation, Fantastic Four's rights would be bought back entirely, and Marvel would make a deal with Fox for X-Men identical to the one involving Sony and Spider-Man, as that will allow for more creative freedom and a lot less clusterf***ing (bit of a tangent, but I'd also reboot the series, set it in a universe other than Earth-199999, and then have those universes collide for an Avengers vs. X-Men movie - God, that would be so awesome). In any case, hopefully things work out for the best.
