Entertainment giant Walt Disney is to buy Marvel Entertainment in a shares and cash deal valued at $4bn (£2.5bn).

The deal means Disney will take over ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man and the X-Men.

Deadpool + Disney franchises is sure to be a winner with the kids!

score yet another bad idea from disney

[lenko]

way to overreact guys

you're forgetting that pirates of the carribean was a disney project and that included a woman visibly getting shot in the head at one point as well as rampant alcoholism and other 'dark' things

nothing is going to happen to marvels franchises

[emanhattan]

the pirates of the caribbean movies would be really really good if disney people hadnt just made up the plot of the sequels (wich included characters coming back to life not to mention a lot of completely nonesensical shit even by fantasy sci-fi standarts) with a lot of misleading and confusing shit going on and every character trying to get something and you just have to forget all the plot and try and enjoy the battles n shit

what Im trying to say is that most comic book movies have enough distorsioned plots and characters (spiderman 3)as an excuse to make more movies already without disney nitpickin them out

[Thor]

I never said this was a bad thing (in fact, if Disney doesn't change the structure at Marvel at all it looks like it'll be a win/win situation for both), but this whole thing came out of nowhere.

I'm just really surprised

[funzop]

who the fuck are you kidding its a horrible thing

[shura]

so does this mean that all the tv shows on cartoon network with marvel characters will be moved to disney channel?

[emanhattan]

lets face it

disney isnt just going to keep marvel as it is It just HAS to fuck up adding its own twisted charm

[rtil]

disney bought pixar and nothing bad happened

[lenko]

lets face it

disney isnt just going to keep marvel as it is It just HAS to fuck up adding its own twisted charm

i still really doubt this

you're acting as if disney is in control of absolutely everything. you do know the entire marvel creative team is still gonna be employed right?

disney is hardly gonna have a say in anything. mark my words

and besides, its hilarious that you're joking about them 'kiddying up' marvel and making 'ludicrous plots' because Marvel themselves have been doing that shit for years

[jjjjjjjjjj]

way to overreact guys

[emanhattan]

I know they do I just think disney will eventually (3 years or so) influence some marvel creations in an even worse way

I mean my concept of disney n marvel is like:
walt disney pictures presents "x-men origins:storm" or something incredibly gay like that

[rtil]

how is having a disney logo before a movie going to change the actual contents of the movie

[lenko]

I know they do I just think disney will eventually (3 years or so) influence some marvel creations in an even worse way

I mean my concept of disney n marvel is like:
walt disney pictures presents "x-men origins:storm" or something incredibly gay like that

because x-men origins wolverine wasnt incredibly gay right

[emanhattan]

Im not talking about the logo itself I mean that if disney eventually wanted to exploit marvel and be more involved in the making of the movies/whatever it would probably suck a lot more than if they had just left marvel do their job.

and yes I was thinking about x men origins being some really lame prequel but that was BEFORE disney. Disney could probably make it a lot gayer

from what lenko said I asume that this wont come to pass. at least for a while
