Disney is buying Marvel
Comments
omg! Ironman, Ghost rider!! NOOOOO! *sob*
... they died bravely.
Disney already went to far when it took over my Broadway.
Just noticed Batman in the photo. He looks amused. Or possibly stoned.
There goes all of the action scenes and good characters.
great. JUST FUCKING GREAT! nao were gonna see alot of mickey mouse appearing in spiderman bullshit or a game where in UA2 mickey and donald are hidden chars? MAN FUCK! they better NOT tone down the voilence -_- cuz if i see punisher hugin a kid or givin out lolipops ima be fuckin PISSED OR if i stop seein hulk rip people in half ima be SUPA PISSED! OMFG or maybe theres a good side O_O MAYBE THIS WILL MAKE DISNEY MORE VIOLENT =D!!!! naw we all know thats sure as hell aint gonna happen >_> as long as marvel doesnt change im happy =\ if their start fuckin with marvel ima neva watch a dam disney film eva again....
I'm not really surprised and at the same time appalled by the move.
Disney and Marvel have been making business deals between the two for decades. When a Disney comic came out, it was distributed under the Marvel label. I knew since the age of 12 that since there was a Warner Bros./DC Comics thing going on, that it would only make sense that there be a Disney/Marvel happening as well.
Looks like the giants really want to face off with each other, huh?
Marvel Comics, when turned to video games, are better than DC's. Movie wise who knows. V for Vendetta kicked ass. But the Blade Trilogy did as well. All the Batman movies, except for one, were all pretty good. All the Superman movies, nix the last few monstrosities, were pretty entertaining. When it came to X-Men or Spiderman I was pretty peeved that they had to waterdown and switch some of the characters around just to appease the audience who doesn't know anything about them.
I'd say it's a toss up. lol
In anycase, even though Disney has been under new management for a little while now, I just hope and pray that Marvel doesn't become some Hannah Montana haven for 7 yr old readers.
Please God, don't do it!!!
o dude its ok im actually a fan of yours i love the rieko series so yeh...totally forgiven!
l8s
well all i can say its thank god they buy marvel AND NOT Mc. Farlanes Comics, because if they do i will burn down all Disneys instalations. Any way to be real no good will come from this espect the worse >>> winny poo + Hulk = OMG 0_0' i dont wana see that coming :C nor think about it :P

I'm pretty sure the acquisition was because Disney doesn't have any strong Pre-teen/teen boy properties anymore. Seeing how they are the largest entertainment conglomerate in the world, they are looking to aim at all markets, both domestic and worldwide. Just as ABC has absolutely no nods to Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers and has its own unique programming like Lost and Castle, I'm sure they will continue the Marvel brand as it is right now.
And honestly, I don't see why this worries you since any trip to Wal-Mart will yield Spider-man children's backpacks and Pee-Wee oversized head Spiderman toys with smiley faces and kid friendly dialog.
the one thing that I'm concerned is the fact that Disney try to be a family orientated as is physically possible. While Marvel really only has a small audience when compared to Disney and doesn't do a bad job of giving them what they want. Marvel and Disney are on 2 completely different ends of the spectrum. I only Hope that Disney will stay true to Marvel classics... Maybe this might be a good thing but then again high school musical seems to have a million fans (God knows why)... PLZ DON'T KILL MUH FUN DISNEY!!!
CURSES YOU ROBERT IGER!!!
YUCK.
All the movie whoring Marvel has done and they still didn't stay their own company. Ah ha. God.
Although it still sucks, maybe this will be like DC being owned by Warner brothers. They never seemed to butt in except when they make movies which seems to be where Marvel concern and money is. WB seems to have sat on their DC properties compared to Marvel. And Marvel as animation goes can't get more gay. There is a cartoon about a "teen" Iron Man out now. So Disney couldn't fuck that up more.
"Marvel television shows also already account for 20 hours per week of programming "
I'm thinking most of that is from the 90's. Anything watchable anyway.
This right here made me want to wretch :
"Marvel television shows also already account for 20 hours per week of programming on Disney's recently rebranded, boy-focused cable network, Disney XD, and that looks likely to increase, Iger said. The shows are "right in the wheelhouse for boys," he said."
They had 2d animation block for more then a decade and never had this "problem" before. Now they can't figure why their cable network is bile?
They have to leech off other companies now because they have nothing themselves to offer anymore.
Oh shit...
DAMN YOU DISNEY!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Game over man, Game over.
Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?
...good...god...no...
Great...so...The X-Men are going to sing to each other about how they love one another and why Magneto should give up his evil ways?
Goofy will be hanging out with The Hulk
At least they will release some decent animated film with superheroes now
Egoraptor is right about them both being focused more on money and that they are 'equals' of sorts (That is what you were getting at, correct?), it's true, but I think everyone's just afraid they're going to make all of it "kid-friendly" and take most of the enjoyment out of it for the rest of us. I don't want them to wussify Wolverine either xD. I know they've kind of done this with some of the cartoons, but at least there were other outlets that could focus more on the mature aspect of the entertainment, adding violence and darker storylines than some of the morning cartoons.

lol @ ego.
Marvel brought me transformers, making it automatically cooler than Disney.
