Disney have "bought" Marvel (this means all the characters are now under Disney's ownership), does this mean that Marvel will go downhill in your opinion?

Unless Mickey Mouse starts making appearances in comics I'm fine. On the other hand KH3 could be even more awesome now...

As far as I'm concerned, the only real Marvel was back in the day. Whatever happens in the future doesn't effect the past at all.

 

 

 

I did watch The Spectacular Spiderman on the Disney Channel once. It's weird. They have a high school scene, Peter gets into some drama with chicks liking him, it's exactly like freaking High School Musical, then he leaves school, fights some bad guys and the action is actually quite surprising, being on the Disney Channel that is. It's like two totally different shows in one. (Or just one anime...)

Ooo, good point. =P~ It better be, because I hated the second one.

oh gosh, I heard about this on the news, it bassicly means the Disney co. will wring as much money out of it as they ussualy do, yes it will be dead.

While I don't like the Disney company, I don't really see a problem with this. It was already a large corporation, now another larger corporation owns them. Not really seeing much of a difference. Hopefully this will allow more funding for superhero movies.

Probably just so they can make movies without having to develop any new ideas.

Sounds like a regular Disney movie then.

They had some original ones back in the 90's, like Toy Story. But now they are just... yeah.

Ugh.. I heard about this earlier today. It will all depend on whether Disney puts their two-cents into all of the Marvel movies or if they just milk them for all the profits. We'll see where this goes. -.-

 

 

 

Anywho, heard the purchase was for a cool 4 billion.

disney started going down hill after they finished with gargoyles. Was ultimate avengers dc or marvel? if it was marvel i hope that it doesn't effect how the movie is going to look. I hope they don't get really stupid and do a spider man 4 but use an entirly different cast and don't put carnage as the villain.

Well, aslong as they keep making films and comics, i'm sure as damned happy... How old was the creator of Marvel...? perhaps he retired and decided to sell it off...

I doubt it would spell disaster, Disney did great things with Pixar and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Marvel.

I dunno why, but the first thing that came to mind when I read this was "Hulk Lightyear." :?

I hate it, I guess they are going to release a movie of Hanna Montanna where she gets rescue by Captain America???

 

 

 

This one fan is right.

 

 

 

"Can you imagine?" wrote one member at the online discussion forum Toonzone.

 

 

 

"In the theatre, the Disney logo flashes by on the screen, followed by the Marvel logo, followed by a bloody skull with 'The Punisher 2' emblazoned on it."

I think alot of people are over-reacting.

 

 

 

Most of the 90's cartoons are owned by disney and have been long before this deal - I know the 90's spiderman show was owned by disney. Maybe we can now get dvd sets.

 

 

 

I'm concerned about what Disney will do with Marvel Max (Mature reading) titles with characters like punisher.

 

 

 

Disney owns or did own ABC and let them keep creative freedom so I dont see them mucking about with marvel too much.

I think this digg comment said it pretty well:

 

 

 

Disney owns Miramax, which made everything from Kill Bill to No Country for Old Men. I think Marvel will do fine keeping its movies the way they want them.

 

 

 

Disney will probably mostly not bother it too much. Although I think the chance of an R-rated movie is definitely out now. It wasn't too possible anyways.

The problem is with superhero movies is kids want to see them - Dark Knight was a Hard PG-13 and it did well - watchmen - a masterpiece - was a hard R and tanked - comic fanboys alone cannot support a flick for it to thrive. Outside of Punisher and blade - I cant think of a marvel property that needs to be R

I'd like to see a R rated X-Force movie (current team). I think X-Men Origins: Wolverine should have been R also. Although you are right, not much really needs to be.

as long as the jonas brothers don't sing the theme song, it should stay similar.

The Current team would about have to be R with the violence heh - problem is the storyline would be beyond difficult to explain to the audiences.

 

 

 

 

 

I disagree on Orgins being R- course I did not like the non comic stuff and got annoyed at that.

Origins was pretty violent, but I saw nothing in that movie that deserved an R rating.

 

 

 

And I disagree with watchmen being a masterpiece, horrible music choices, incredibly slow beginning, and bad acting from a few characters.

 

 

 

Although the guy who played Rorschach was amazing.

DIsney own Pixar, and you can't really say the quality of Pixar's films has suffered. I think it'll be a similar situation, Disney will leave Marvel to develop their own ideas and then use their marketing power to get them going.

Disney owns Marvel?

 

Kill me now.

I doubt very much will change. Disney probably just wants the money it generates.

Yep. They'll get cash for movies already in the works such as Iron Man 2.

 

 

 

Wonder how long it will take to make that 4 billion back though. In all honesty it was actually a decent move for Marvel to sell. As long as it's just a cash cow for Disney, then things "should" be fine.
