Disney buys Marvel for $4 Billion

[Lotos]

"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.

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.

Okay, so they'll whore out the characters and we'll see merchandise everywhere. OH GOD THE PAIN

[Qsmash]

WHAT THE FUCK?

Well, as long as they don't touch the characters...

Oh god.
OH GOD.
NO PLEASE GOD NO.
They're going to run it into the ground. ;_;

Exactly what I think.

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:;

:D

Disney vs. marvel vs. capcom vs. mortal kombat vs. dc universe

vs. Freddy vs. Jason vs. Alien vs. Predator vs. Billy Crystal.

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)

[HTA!]

How many of you actually read comics?
lol
Who cares?

[Lohn Jocke]

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.

[Captain Justice]

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.

[JrDude]

Well, unless there are very many other things in Universal Studios, Disney will probably just own that place.
