Definitely a WHAT THE FUCK from me. Did anyone really expect this?
I hope they don't milk the franchises like what Warner did to DC.
Oh god.
OH GOD.
NO PLEASE GOD NO.
They're going to run it into the ground. ;_;
WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE
disney won't be satisfied until they own everything
Let it be known, that on AUGUST 31st 2009, Marvel, nay, the world of comic books was raped, by the tainted, money grubbing bastards known only as Disney.
I am now going to go outside, and pray for a miracle.
"Ill be the first to suggest it. Marvel characters in the next Kingdom hearts. Go!"
That was the first comment I read
Disney isn't a intercourse ing retarded company, guys. They're not going to do poop with Marvel, they're simply making money off of them now. Do you realize how much money they made with the comic book movies? Disney just wants a piece of that, they aren't going to touch Marvel otherwise.

Disney isn't a f***ing retarded company, guys. They're not going to do s*** with Marvel, they're simply making money off of them now. Do you realize how much money they made with the comic book movies? Disney just wants a piece of that, they aren't going to touch Marvel otherwise.
This.
I doubt Disney's main guys (directors, producers, etc.) will have a say in anything that the Marvel guys are doing (movies), nor their comic book industry. It's just about money.
Pathetic you guys. It's all about the money. Disney should know that if they touch Marvel with any Disney crap, then they will lose more money then they hoped to make. Just because Disney Channel is all poop, you think they will turn Marvel into poop too.
Marvel vs Disney for a new fightning game, y/n.
I wonder what Disney is going to do with all the Marvel character themed rides at Universal studios.
While I understand what Kilroy is saying, you have to realize it's DISNEY we're talking about it.
Yes, I doubt they'll touch the comics or movies. But it's still Disney. Do you know how much whoring out the characters will be doing now? Besides, anything Disney touches that isn't Pixar turns to poop nowadays.

To quote Riosan:
Wilson: so did you hear
Wilson: disney bought marvel for $4b
Wilson: now we can finally have snow white vs marvel
:D
Disney vs. marvel vs. capcom vs. mortal kombat vs. dc universe
Quote"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," said Ike Perlmutter, Marvel's Chief Executive Officer. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world."
So does that mean that the head of Marvel wants Disney to intercourse with it?
And let's make something clear right now. I couldn't care less about what happens to Marvel. I don't read comics.

Okay, so they'll whore out the characters and we'll see merchandise everywhere. OH GOD THE PAIN
WHAT THE FUCK?
Well, as long as they don't touch the characters...

They'll whore out the characters without actually making anything... a.k.a. all their characters in existence that aren't owned by Pixar X_X:;

Disney won't touch Marvel, or whore it out. i'm pretty sure disney doesn't whore out ESPN, Touchstone, and such other companies.
Also, Disney can't touch contracts already made. (i.e. Spider Man)
How many of you actually read comics?
lol
Who cares?
You people make it sound like Marvel hasn't marketed towards children in the past few years.

anybody who actually complains about this needs to kill themselves.
But like I said before (also the only good comment in this entire thread). What do you think will happen with the many Marvel based rides in Disney World's rival theme park Universal/Islands of Adventure.

Disney gets a cut of the profits, I'd assume. I wouldn't think they're going to tear down those rides; it'd be a major loss for Universal.
But I also wouldn't think that they would let a rival park keep rides that they now own the rights to. I'd imagine that they would re-theme the Marvel rides.....and then maybe open some up in Disney World/Land.

Hi :)
On topic, I don't care. Whoring out means that they might get Marvel get moving and make more stuff. It's not like everything Disney touches turns to crap.
Well, unless there are very many other things in Universal Studios, Disney will probably just own that place.

Does anyone seriously care about this?
Marvel Vs. Capcom Vs. SNK Vs. Disney. I want it now.
You know,
Marvel isn't 100% comics, HTA.
