Warning: obvious spoilers for films throughout 2017 are present. If you're worried about spoiling anything from this past year, we implore you to proceed with caution. If there was anything that 2017 was good for besides movies, it was climactic endings.

What Fox will look like under Disney’s purview is anyone’...
