My concern is the corporate level, where not alot of people here have seen. what happens in the creative team that make the marvel best. Disney will force Marvel to edit themselves creatively? reduce the mature reality theme stories for a G rating. What about movie stars that pissed of disney and would be great for marvel movies. same goes to every company that doesn't follow their rules. If Disney doesn't mess with the quality of Marvel we're ok. BUT do you really think that Corporate policies in the real world won't influence their decisions, because it ain't Politically Correct or it conflicts with their sister companies? then your more ignorant than i thought reader. I only hope that Marvel is still separate with Disney like Pixar is to them; and that Marvel has still the last say with their quality of Product and Disney execs to keep out in the Marvel domain area. gaming spectability 105

come on, Disney is not a stupid company, so couldn't this be about money only? I mean, they're not going to make kid versions of the Hulk or some'n.

fing bull why the bloody hell did marvel sell out? if disney plays "family friendly" like microsoft did on the xbox 360 im gonna buy all the disney movies and burn them they better play it smart because marvel isn't for kids anymore its your tens and adults the kids can watch cartoons they do more than enough of that anyways

And cows have only one sex position!

The "Mickey meets wolverine in a bar" scenario sound to me pretty stupid.

The people at Disney are not fools about he choices they make. Do people really think that Disney will fuse Mickey with others character elements from the Marvel collection?

No I think its pretty LAME.

I've grown up reading Marvel Comics. Nearly 26 years of stories!
If Disney screws them up it will be like someone bad mouthing my parents!

I just hope they keep out of the creators way.
I never trust anything that only produces sugar sweet smiling wide eyed characters. They are already Disney Zombies.
Look at Hannah Montana and HSM. That is puerile crap and has nothing in common with the Marvel Universe.

I can't believe how much this worries me! :p

As much as I loved Disney Adventures as a kid, and when I got a bit older they had some great Pirates of the Caribean comics sometimes, I'm glad their dead.
I have a framed page from an early 2006 issue stating that Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) would be the best game of the year. I laugh whenever I see it. Then I cry because I realize the little blue blur is dead inside.
Either way, con for the world: The Jonas Brothers are getting a comic. Don't deny it, they will.

Noooos! Cancel deal! Cancel deal!
I've got a couple obvious reasons.
1. Disney, who used to make great family movies, makes a good movie 1 out 3 times it produces one. Weeding out its good movies gets harder and harder through the months as the beauty Walt created is slowly killing itself.
2. They don't have violence, Marvel does, the fusion....? I really don't want to look.
3. KH+M=Crap. I myself thought when I first bought KH that it would kinda suck, but come on, Marvel and Kingdom Hearts? Kingdom Hearts 2 is barely E+10, so unless Disney pulls a +rating to T and pulls back a little for the next PS2/PS3/whatever KH sequel (may it come and stay on PS2), the fusion would have a heart attack and collapse after release.

Please, if the deal happens, I only have one thing to say: Disney, we're watching. DON'T SCREW UP!

(P.S. twigs nonmedallion is my captcha. Nonmedallion refers to Disney...does twigs relate to something future Marvel? The captcha is gettting smarter by the second...XD)

Nightcrawler is my favorite X-man, and I have to say I'm not crazy about him jumping around killing cyborgs with swords (as cool as it was). I like the Wolverine and the X-men version of him much more.

big corporation buys out the competition... I think it's a censorship ploy.
