They are also the people who created The Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin, The Lion King and many many more CLASSICS so show some respect. .

Sorry to be off topic but..

The lion king is a rip off of Kimba The White Lion.

The movie is a classic, maybe not original, but a classic

I smell a rat...

They, this makes more than enough sense for Disney. Disney is great at movies. They suck at EVERYTHING else. So if they can use marvel for all the rest of their stuff, toys, comics, statues, it works for them. Marvel also has the security it was severely lacking. Remember, there was a time Marvel almost went under (and once that it actually did) but DC had WB to back them. Same story.

I don't see what all the panic is about, they bought Marvel coz its a massive brand, they are not stupid, they are business man and will if anything probably improve the marvel brand,

lets not panic now,

Disney has only made Pixar movies better and they have the staff behind it as well, perhaps we'll get some decent cartoon movies of our favorite characters

and as for the EVIL DISNEY website, what a crock of crap, of course disney put jokes in for the adults as well, we have to sit through 1hr 30 of film, lets have some jokes for us as well.

(plus that site missed out all the adult jokes in Hercules, Incredibles, A bugs life, lion king, chicken little........need i go on)

PERSPECTIVE PEOPLE, PLEASE

I really do wonder about how minimates will be affected on this whole deal.

I've just checked mine & so far it hasn't affected them at all......should I be checking for anything specific?

Probably the best solution is to send them all to me for verification BHM, given the quantities involved I should get them back to you in say 2099 ;)

Ok, we will see these two comics, it's inevitable!

Spiderman meets Hannah Montana:

It's concert night at New York City where the one and only Hannah Montana will perform for a VIP audience! But how will this night turn out when Dr. Octopus kidnaps Ms. Montana? It's up to Spiderman to stop Doc Ock before he reveals Hannah's identity to the public! But what happens when both Hanna Montana and Spiderman's true identity's are revealed to each other?

JONAS/ Fantastic Four team-up:

The Jonas Brothers have noticed something strange about their new record producer, and only the Fantastic Four know what it is -- he's a Skrull! Can the Fantastic Four warn the Jonas Brothers before the Skrull replaces the brother's new album with a mind control CD? Can the Jonas Brothers warn the public in time?

thats scary punisher,it seems like you put alot of thought into the idea <_<:ermm::huh:

Well, in all honesty, i liked his Jonas idea. No, not for the "Borthers," but for the plot itself. I agree with NR; it's very Josie-esque, and i loved those classic shows like Challenge of the Super Friends and their corny little "so bad it's good" segments. I'd watch it.

Especially if the twist at the end is that i'm right and the Jonases are Skrulls themselves and are killed. :biggrin:

Not too worried about the affect on the comics(I'm sure marvel will maintain some degree of control). I'm a littlte worried about any license they have. Maybe it's a distribution and marketing deal to get the brand to more people. If minimates die because of this the mouse dies! :P

I think this makes a lot of sense, and I doubt there will be any negative consequences of the buyout. Disney will let the creative side of Marvel do what they have been doing. But, the difference is that Marvel can now take a few more chances. Some of those well written books that never found an audience? They'll be able to keep going with the Mickey Mouse money Marvel will have. This is something DC has been able to do for a few years now, due to being owned by WB.

Plus, Disney gets to market the character brand. Marvel makes pennies on the dollar compared to the money that merchandising alone brings in for their heroes. Disney will probably open new areas for Marvel they were too small to get into before.

Hasbro already makes Toy Story figures, so I don't think Disney has any qualms about keeping toys in house.

Also, a Pixar Power Pack movie would be sweet.

Just had this really cool thought. Disney owns Buena Vista, DiC, and several other smaller properties. I wonder if we can get comic crossovers into those? Because if that's so... Carmen Sandiego could be her own comic series!

I mean, yeah, she'd work MUCH better with Cobra, but just imagine her along side Red Skull or something. Epic!

Somewhat surprising move... I guess these really are desperate times for some big companies..

How will it be different than the Warner Bros + DC deal?

I wonder how this will effect Marvel Island at Universal Studios Orlando.. One of Disney Worlds most interesting competitors in the area... I hope things like that remain outside of the new deal.

If I'm not mistaken Island of Adventure is currently being turned into The World of Harry Potter anyway.

I was there about 3 months ago and the Harry Potter construction is on the other side of the park. It is being built in between Jurassic Park and the Dueling Dragons. Converting the Hulk coaster, Dooms big shot and other rides would be an easy change to whatever they are thinking.. but the Spiderman 4D interactive ride would have to be completely destroyed and dismantled. Very very sad... as that is probably the greatest ride I have ever experienced.

i can't belive it. the people who created THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY :sick: and THE JONAS BROTHERS :down: taking over marvel! although i would like to see that punisher idea made into a film, i must say in the immortal word of luke sky walker: NOOOOOOO!

They are also the people who created The Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin, The Lion King and many many more CLASSICS so show some respect. I have no wish to sully(no pun intended) Pixar with The Punisher. I never cared for The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe.

This was surprising, but I'm honestly not worried.

Disney also owns Miramax, which has released many mature-content films for the age demographics of adults and mature teens. I hardly believe this is going to cause the Marvel Universe to become the next Kingdom Hearts in terms of crossing over.

I agree. Surprising, but ultimately I will be surprised if anyone really notices the difference. Well, I guess former Marvel shareholders will notice the difference, but I have no idea how the dividend payouts compare.

Thirty some odd dollars and .75 share in Disney per share of Marvel I think.

ok maybe i was being a bit hasty. maybe it will be a good thing. i heard that disney won't be interfering with the characters and stuff sooo... it might just work :)

Well aparantly the Marvel Super Hero Island is going to be left alone for now until they figure out what the hell they just got themselves into. So my advice? Experience the Spider-Man ride while it's definately going to be there. Then treasure the memory of the greatest ride ever made in your hearts forever.

You're being sarcastic right?

Yes. However Carmen being part of Cobra does have a certain appeal to me, I must admit. I always figured V.I.L.E. was a subsect of Cobra as a kid anyways.

Here's some things we can expect according to the DA front page.
