Disney buys marvel

http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS126500+31-Aug-2009+BW20090831


There is not enough DO NOT WANT present in our universe or any other to express how I feel about this.

Remember Pulp Fiction and Peter Pan are both Disney productions.

I doubt anybody would call Pulp Fiction family-friendly. So.....it's surprising, but I doubt it'll turn Marvel into a kiddie series. Then again, looking at the Black and Grey Morality modern Marvel Universe, I dunno...

That scares me. It really, really does.

I'm picturing The Joker singing "Just Can't Wait to Be King".

... Dx MAKE IT STOP.

I really don't think they'll be trying to do a lot of joint projects. Maybe once or twice just to see how the audience takes it. And I doubt even more that they'd just absorb the company entirely. Parent companies actually give their subsidiaries a lot of leeway, as long as they keep making money. And generally, companies that don't make money aren't in danger of ending up in this situation in the first place.

Disney and Marvel don't really try to cater to the same market. If they did, then yeah, then you could kiss Marvel good bye. This is just a way for Disney to make money off of Marvel's market.

I'd watch what happens before freaking out too hard.
