Though on the inside, i'll only be 100% happy about this is Disney lets Marvel have Deadpool shove a grenade up Zac Efron's @ss

p.s. Disney owns Pulp Fiction? Nice!

okay, i say that nobody will benefit since disney may soften up the characters from marvel, just as they did with final fantasy when it was kindom of hearts. on that 08 hulk movie, they might have changed those car doors from the police car into 2 stuffed bears or something along the lines of that. one pro may be disney (HOPEFULLY) doesn't like tobey maguire, nor Kristen Dunst and replaces them with REAL actors for the next spider man movie. when tobey talks all i hear is mumble, mumble, mumble. RAISE YOUR VOICE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!
i also have to ask, will stan lee have anything to do with the comics still or does disney have 100% control and so marvel comics is technically no more. and i hope they hire the guys who made the previous comics.

Once I read the title I just kinda gave up. Not much of a comic book fan but the idea of Disney taking Marvel and all their characters is just blasphemy. Currently the majority of marvel superhero games just suck badly. But with Disney thrown in I have little to no hope for any future superhero games. Financially a great move by Disney but morally its worse then killing Jesus and bringing him back thousands of times in front of the most devote Christian.

I don't know how to feel about this whole thing. Though if Disney changes Marvel any more than slightly and make things suck, i'll go carzy and kill Mickey

As was stated in the article, Disney owns a great deal of "mature" content. No need to worry about the very very "T-Rated" Marvel universe.

For the people that played KH, it wasn't all bad, right? So, maybe you thought it it haywire at first. But it sold over a million copies. You can't be sure about Marvel and Disney coing together won't be all bad.

First things first.

I know you guys can come up with a better name than "Nerd 9/11". This DIS-VEL (DISney marVEL) deal only cover entertainment media, not science (because nerds love science). The name "Nerd 9/11" is very desrespectful to the real event that the name is based on and could you come up with a less offensive name than that?

I bet that some of us have this exact same reaction when Time Warner/Warner Bros. brought DC, it just history repeating itself once again.

Companies love this merging crap like crack. They better not get too big or the Supreme Court will lay the smackdown on their @$$.

Disney and Time Warner is just like Coke and Pepsi.
Disney is to Marvel as Coke is to Powereade.
Time Warner is to DC as Pepsi is to Gatorade.
And they are doing everything they can to wipe the other company off the face of the Earth.
See a pattern?

im just hoping for no restrictions on series like marvel zombies, although seeing disney characters getting eaten sounds pretty good to me lol.

They better not destroy any of the Marvel characters by putting them with dumb ideas.

Lasetter isn't the main guy. He is actually #1 at Pixar, but like #7 at Disney. He still has to have "elders" input his decisions.

@oldgrammastinkyfeet

You're right, as far as the company as a whole goes, Lasseter doesn't have to much say, but he is the Chief Creative Officer over Disney and Pixar animation, and all of the theme parks.
