As long as I don’t see any Wolverine/Mickey Mouse crossovers it should be OK, it just means more resources for the movies right?
Please tell me I’m right.
Tarrakk Blackhand:
OK, originally I didn’t like this merger because Disney should remain Disney and Marvel should remain Marvel, but after reading that Marvel and Disney are both on the “Potentially Doomed” list as far as their yearly per capital figures during the present recession, I’m glad that they’re trying to preserve what they have by joining forces.
However, I’ll be upset if Disney treats Marvel in the same way as they treated Jim Henson’s Muppets after they bought Henson Enterprises (AKA~never seen again).

is this the entirity of marvel or just the film rights?
it could be interesting seeing as marvel is also doing a lot of steven king stuff right now, including the dark tower series, to see what happens with that. Im a big graphic novel fan so i just hope this doesnt mess up the best publishers in the business.

Didn't they like invent the crossover concept...
Who mentioned Microsoft?Bah, them too.
CoyoteLaughs:
i fear film may involve a quite cutesy characters that marvel puts out now, oh Thor you may have to smite thy enemies with flowers now
Swissdictator:
We could just have the CEOs fight to the death, and then have a comic about it… with lots of typical comic book insanity (don’t look at me, I never read the stuff). For the kids we could have a movie of how they had to unite to find some magical what-cha-ma-call-it… which holds the power to something overly cheerful and silly.
torn:
i think you have to realise at the moment marvel already do a lot of kids comics that are seperate from the adults but use the same characters, spider man springs to mind immediatly, as well as a new iron man tv show based on super kids. Disney is the same but opposite, yes they produced bambi, but they also make more mature films, although i would say family films and not gore fests. I think disney might be ok until it comes to something like the punisher.
CoyoteLaughs:
disney did do the Black Cauldron, of course it was pretty much disappeared from their titles for being filled with balck magic…
Patrikson:
I like the Black Cauldron but for disney buying marvel?
-Darth vader like voice- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I dont want Mice wearing Spandex or having claws coming out of thier knuckle -Shivers at the Thought-
Tarrakk Blackhand:
Does this mean Uncle Remus can finally become some old mentor to a new type of super hero? Zipedy-doo-dah man?
Patrikson:
He better Tarrakk he better…
Henroth:
NOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
Very very bad news for me… :mad
Goodbye Hulk, goodbye Conan, goodbye Venom, goodbye… etc.
Let’s hope to break down the freezer of Walt Disney. :~
Baggronor:
Goodbye Hulk, goodbye Conan, goodbye Venom, goodbye... etc.Maybe not. If Disney know anything, its how to make money. They already do a lot of other things which you wouldn't associate with them otherwise. For example, they own Miramax Films, responsible for releasing Kill Bill, Dogma, Gangs of New York, No Country for Old Men, etc. Not exactly the regular Disney fare, so *hopefully* they will just leave Marvel to run as it does now.
Henroth:
The disaster already to begin with this musical video for the spanish market
