You won't like me when I'm angry, because I WILL MICKEY SMASH!!!

All the jokes aside.... what are your thoughts on this?

<-- Tries to think of the last non Pixar Disney movie he has watched....

Right...Not since Mulan or Aladdin 3...when he was a pre-teen...I swear...if they do a Marvel High school musical....I will be very upset....although I'd rather see the teens fighting than dancing...

On the upside IF Pixar and Marvel work together, I can see great things....

The only question I have is: does this mean I can say Spider-man is my favorite Disney character?

LOL, good question.

Honestly though, I wonder if Marvel comics will be "kiddied down" now that they've been bought by Disney.

Captain America better still own Nazi's with his same old flair

I really hope not... although I do doubt they can continue some of the more "graphic" comics.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #6 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:20:03 PM »

Let's keep in mind that Miramax and Hollywood Pictures are also Disney Subsidiaries. Their movies are plenty graphic.

Hmmm, is the timing coincidental? Did YMT broker the sale? He did just buy a house within earshot of the park and works undercover as a tram driver.

He did all of the above... and more.

that is soooo wrong on every level. next thing we know, spider man will be singing with the green goblin "We're all in this together" or some other strange thing.

My jaw dropped so low, it's burning in the earth's core!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Nice move, Disney! Maybe we'll be seeing Marvel Comics themed rides at Walt Disney World!!!

That would certainly be intersting since Universal Studios Islands of Adventure already has a Marvel Superhoes section here in Orlando, including one of their most popular rides Spider-Man, their (now second) largest roller coaster The Incredible Hulk, their only freefall ride named after Dr. Doom, their only "teacup" ride named after Storm, and their main costumed character show made up of Captain America, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, and Spider-Man.

I have to wonder if Disney is flexing their muscle getting ready to take those trademark names away from Universal Studios.

It would be ok, hear me out, if they allow the original writers for the comics to keep writing them. If they get new ones, it's not going to be any good.

Korunks · « **Reply #13 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:43:52 AM »

Universal is probably pretty scared right now, because their major competitor now owns the rights to their main attractions. Expect changes to Universal very soon.

nope from what I hear Universal well keep its rides and stuff. as will nick, fox, and paramount. Hopefully this means that we well see spider-man on the disney channel

I really hope Disney doesn't screw up the superhero movies. I'm expecting great things from Ironman and Hulk.

Paladin · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:19:30 PM »

I still don't see why Marvel couldn't keep the company. Buisness was boomer. Probably Obamas fault because people lost there jobs and havn't gotten new ones.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:42:27 PM »

Sure, blame the president. That always solves everyone's problems.
