Disney Buys Marvel

[YoNoSe]

Re: So much for our brloved Marvel Movies

What a negative way to title a thread. Really sets the mood for hating.

Seriously. The sky is ALWAYS falling on the Freaks board.

Hey, funny you should say that.

Becuase at first i was like

But then i was Like

when i thought about Marvel making appearances in the next kingdom hearts

It could be a lot worse, but then again, maybe, I'm acting too pessimistic. Disney does have a lot of "arsenal" in their corner, so this may be a blessing in disguise. Only time will tell.

My biggest concern is that some of Marvel's "edgier" characters and story lines will loose their edge. One of the first characters that come to mind is Daredevil and The Punisher.

I actually just got off of ebay and ordered a copy of Ennis's Punisher Omnibus. I got a feeling this kind of stuff is going to become hard to find.

Diseny is in the business to make money, I don't think they are going to drastically change what works. They will just continue to capitalize on the existing products that are already selling and probably exploit the movie rights a lot more.

Deviant Art and Google.

A few more for good measure:

John Lasseter met with Marvel last week about a possible team-up between Marvel and Pixar and got "pretty excited, pretty fast." They say there's definitely an opportunity there.

Let's hope that this isn't the beginning of the end, hopefully Disney will take a hands off approach.

Look back a couple of pages, Iger already has said hands off.

I think good thing can come from this...but it does suck that Disney is buying everthing...next up...Nintendo

Words don't necessarily make it so, though. Words spoken today might be in the interest of minimizing negative geek reaction. If they decide tomorrow that a more "hands on" approach might breed more profit. . .

They bought ESPN, you see the logo sporting ears or a bill? They own Miramax, do you see the castle before Gangs of New York? They own the Muppets and do you see Kermit infused into Its a Small World?

Its amazing how little credit people give Disney.

That sounds great to me. Imagine a 5th park in FL or a 3rd in CA with a Star Wars land, a Nintendo Land, a Marvel Land, a Pixar Land....sounds like win to me?

Although it won't happen.

Nope but the last few appearances the Muppets had on TV was with Disney's talentless tween singers...
I love Disney, but they have some pretty lame concepts too...
