Lemonade Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Spidey, Iron Man, X-Men etc. are now all owned by Mickey Mouse and his cohorts. What do you think of this news? Will it cause Marvel to tone down the violence and stuff in their films and comics, or will Disney stay out of it and let them keep doing what their doing?Are you excited about the prospect of a Goofy vs Wolverine crossover?Disney buys Marvel Entertainment | Business | The Guardian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I doubt that it'll affect Marvels' comic out output too much. Disney bought the company to fill a gap in their demographic, males aged 12-35 (i.e, me); why fuck with something that is running successfully, and has done since the 1997 bankrupcy. At worse they might cancel a few books that don't sell, which might be a bit shit if they're decent books, but Marvel probably would have probably done the same anyway. Admittedly when I first heard about this yesterday, the fan-boy in me had nightmares of Wolverine/Buzz Lightyear cross-overs...again, at worst it'll probably mean Marvels' animated output is now shown on the Disney channels. I can live with that, I watch that shit streaming off the Marvel website anywayUpshot is that Marvel studios (the movie side of the company) will now have the full weight of Disney-power behind them, which should be awesome - time for a new Marvel Studios Fantastic Four, and Disney will have to bin The Incredibles...Make mine Mickey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Mad. I'm sure the cash injection will be positive in the long run.On a completely different note, I wonder if this means Universal Studios will have to get rid of the Hulk Coaster and all the Marvel gubbins at Islands of Adventure? There's a fair old amount of stuff. Spidey 3 - D is possibly the greatest rollercoasterey thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 It will just mean that all the baddies in the comics are either black or jewish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugitive Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 my 11 year old daughter's reaction to this was;"Great, now X-men is going to have magic ponies" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan' Sharuminar Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was really looking forward to the announcement of Wolverine on Ice: The Musical. Then everyone had to be all sensible and point out all the reasons why the takeover probably wouldn't affect Marvel in any big way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
