so what characters did they actually aquire? All of them of just some. It will be interesting to see what they let go. Marvel already has deals with other studios so how can they use all their property?

this is horrible news... completely destroyed my day. how can anyone see anything positive coming out of this?! Seeing a pixar/marvel mash up is definitely not worth all of my favorite characters getting some pansy ass disney make over.
ugh... that's ALOT of money, but wf?! Is Marvel hurting? They desperate?! Have some integrity for christ sakes! I can see it now, Marvel on Ice and a rehashing of the damn Comics Code...
- you are such a negative thinking person.epill
- i see a huge shift in this that marvel can use for their gain.epill
- currently roughly 30 shows air on disney all marvel, imagine new programs all marvel.epill
- i for one am loving this, as marvel can now make a better dent in the worlds population.epill
- also the comics code is just made up by marvel and dc its worthless.epill

@epill, you were right. just a knee-jerk reaction to the news. Was really crabby after typhoons and a shitty morning commute...
But yes, I can definitely see the enormous potential of such a merger, just as much as i can see how disastrous it can be. We've seen how it can work with the WB/DC deal, but Disney is nothing like Warner Brothers and that's what scares me. Im just skeptical and really hope Disney proves me wrong.

its all about money homies - i seriously doubt disney has any big interest in 'controlling' marvel's creative output, they just want their dicks in the money pie that is the spider man/xmen/etc movies. If you think disney would buy them just to throw mickey mouse into an xmen comic you're retarded.
Mirimax was owned by disney when they produced Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - did goofy make any cameos in those films? Were they softened up for the kids? Fuck.

well unlike RD and Pulp Fiction, Marvel characters are tremendously marketable to kids. Like epill said, 30 or so already on Disney. Now that they have ownership over these characters, who knows what they'll do. You think they'll allow books that have more mature themes (like X-Force, Wolverine Origins, etc) to continue at the same time the same characters are starring in their kid shows, being sold as toys at their theme parks and stores?! I don't know man...
- you think stuff like Hulk vs Wolvie will still be put out?! again idk...heathen
