I'll wait and see what they do first with a Marvel project for full judgment. I have alot of doubts, but it could also be for the better.

Time will tell.

As I have been making my Marvel since I can rember I have mix feelings about this deal. I can't imagine Disney screwing around to much with Marvel because fans will stop buying and we all know Disney loves money so I don't see them screwing around with Marvel characters.

They probably use them to make Disney character comics making Marvel make another universe where all the Disney character run around and characters will wear shirts with Disney characters on them. Worst case scenario we'll see comics like "Spidey goes to Disney World," "The Avengers vs that superhero group from Darkwing Duck" can't think of their name right now, or " Howard meets Donald: The Tail of 2 Ducks."

I know people have been making fun of possible having Marvel Characters in the Kingdom Hearts games but I wonder, like with Final Fantasy, could they make that work? Though then again Disney/Final Fantasy/Marvel hybrid may just be to confusing. As for the current

The biggest blow might come to the Movies/Television Shows that are currently being produce and future ones. This saddens me the most because the cartoons Marvel has out now is better than anything they produce in the last 15 years. I mean the last Iron Man an FF cartoons from the 90s were just plain terrible story wise.

To me the most frightful thing that may happen is the Fan Fiction. I just shudder to think of all the cross-overs fans will come up with and the horror that is to come with the inter company crack-parrings. facepalm.png

Warning: A Marvel Fan's Angry Rant --Click here to view--
Y'know what I've held my tongue in for far too long this is the biggest pile of crap I have EVER heard. Disney are the EA Sports of the Entertainment industry they can't let anything else be successful without sinking their rotted teeth into it. They CLAIM that they won't interfere with anything Marvel does but that's a bald faced lie and everyone knows it. Before long we'll be seeing Spider-Man and Mickey Mouse skipping in a field of dancing flowers while Wolverine is watering the plants and Hulk is singing Zippity freaking Doo Dah. Everyone at Marvel that allowed this to happen Joe "One More Day" Quesada included can all go **** themselves. This has ruined Marvel for me I'm done with them DC has never looked as good to me as it does right now. *Goes to read Blackest Night*

While I can understand this person's feelings on the issue, I'm still more than willing to give this Marvel/Disney deal a fair chance, and not just throw a tantrum and 'ditch' Marvel because of it.

I agree. Let's not show some negativity about the merging. Actually, I forgot to mention, Disney had some relationship with Marvel ever since some time ago because Marvel is contributing Disney comic books and I have the Lion King comic to prove it.

Now it's official! omfg.gif
Disney is taking over the world! wacko.gif
I mean, think about it. They have always been famouse because of their programs, they're having a program to "save the earth" and now they just bought Marvel. I've never been a huge fan of Disney 'cause they kinda' irritate me with the whole Hanna Montana and Jonas thing. (But that's just my opinion) Anyways... I just can't believe that Marvel was selled to Disney... I never saw it comeing. sleep.gif

Everyone's talking about Disney talking over Marvel..

But what if Marvel somehow took over Disney?



Impossible? Yes. Lulzy? Much.

Like most things, we will just have to wait and see. I don't think it will be that bad, Disney will probably use it's ownership to make childrens programing but I would imagine a lot of the comics and films will be fine. Disney will probably still give directors and artists freedom with what they do, especially since the recent films from marvel have been having so much success.

That art just reminds me of how similar Disney and Warner Brothers are in the way they've completely ignored their icons for the past decade or two.

I miss Mickey and Bugs.

Oh come on, can you image some of the super hero's that Marvel makes as kid friendly. I sure can't. Can you even imagine Wolverine saying fun on friendship and stuff like that? I will still hold my hope that Disney will not screw us and the characters. So, the can make a HSM crossover with our comic's. Walt Disney must be rolling his grave right know serouilly. Sorry, I know, I am jumping to conclusion, but that is the worst case I can see.



I agree their trying to take over the world, so they can be like the wallmart of the entertaining business. I really dislike Dc, but it better then Disney/Marvel crossover. *Shudder* to think what they will do to or characters.

Disney primarily needs shows to appeal to the young boys demographic so if they want to bring in Marvel superheroes then by all means go ahead. They already air a bunch of the shows on DisneyXD and now that they own Marvel the budget can expand vastly towards it. I don't see how they will "kiddify" cartoons when they are made for you know kids? Pretty sure they will leave alone the graphic novels and the movies are almost always rated PG-13 (excluding the likes of The Punisher) so I don't expect them to suddenly become rated G kindergarten films.

When you think of Disney you usually think of it as a children network when in actuality it's a humongous corporation that owns many other companies like ABC, DreamWorks, ESPN, Pixar, Miramax, Touchstone, etc; Are Desperate Housewives and Lost classified as children shows? I've never seen Mickey Mouse on SportsCenter except during the ESPN/Disney collaboration weekend. I'd never think Disney would allow such movies like Gangs of New York, Kill Bill, No Country for Old Men, Doubt, There Will Be Blood, and many others that aren't remotely for younger audiences. Disney has many divisions that appeal to all sorts of demographics.

I can't hate Disney since what they are doing is a entirely business move and to increase their profits and who wouldn't want to do that? How many people would hold onto something such as "artistic value" when large sums of money are involved. Too early to tell right now, but I figure they will mostly have a hand in the cartoon shows so they can have a lineup for shows aimed at boys--which I would actually like to see considering the state of CartoonNetowrk and Nickeloden these days (who I wouldn't mind if Disney bought as well).
