Disney buys Marvel for $4 billion

First of all... wow.

Second of all, any thoughts/concerns on how this will affect Marvel in the future? Iron Man 2, Deadpool, The Avengers? Or what about video games; Marvel Ultimate Alliance is due out in September. I hope Disney doesn't start changing things... they should just leave everything the way it is at Marvel, and sit back and rake in the dough.

Not much is gonna change except for the introduction of a new superhero starring the unthawed corpse of Walt Disney. And all comic book based movies(and upcoming features as well) will star or co-star Miley Cyrus and/or the Jonas Brothers.

Oh, you know they're going to fuck everything up soooooo badly and water everything down to sell to the tweens demographic. Sigh...and just when Marvel based movies are starting to be enjoyable again. And I'm not kidding about that Jonas Bros. crack either.

Marvel proved that they can make a better movie than the studios by staying truer to the original comic. Iron Man, Hulk redone.

God knows what disaster Disney will do.

Yeah, I know. All comic book based movies are somewhat watered down compared with the original publications. I'm just afraid they will take that fine art of watering down to shitastic new heights.

X-Men Highschool Musical. Starring Miley Cyrus & Vanessa Hudgens might not be too bad. :unsure:
