Disney has bought Marvel? Seriously, that sounds just awful.
Doesn't that mean that the comics will be affected too, not just the movies?
No good can come of this. I like Disney, but they don't do very well with things they didn't originally create.
Of course it doesn't necessarily mean that, people are going overboard over this, Disney have probably bought Marvel because they see it as a good source of revenue, not because they want to poke their nose in to everything that Marvel does and change it to suit their own clearly evil designs. Besides to take an example Pixar are part of Disney and it hasn't exactly affected their output adversely.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
That's a good point, but Disney didn't buy Pixar, they just collaborated together. If Disney bought Marvel then chances are they're gonna put their name on it. I would think anything with their name on it that isn't kid friendly would ruin their image. I'm not saying they have an evil master plan to ruin Marvel, but most likely changes will be made.
Edit: I guess Disney did buy Pixar. I guess it still wouldn't matter though. I don't think I've ever seen anything bad come out of Pixar.

I don't really like the sound of this. It just doesn't seem right...
I am amused at people thinking that Disney are going to force change upon Marvel.The Walt Disney Company own a ton of smaller companies, not all of them "family friendly". So just chill, guys. Your precious Marvel will be safe from the evil, super cute and magical clutches of Disney.

yeah, even though it does kinda suck, Disney buys crap all the time because they want moneyyyy.
ya never know though.
Why would they put their name on anything Marvel? Slapping their name on the comics would put off fans because they'd think Disney was going to swoop in a meddle in Marvel business, and slapping their names on the movies would just make no sense given Disney's rep for more kid friendly stuff. It also wouldn't make sense considering Marvel already owns their own production company.
I'd be willing to bet money that not only will you not see "Disney presents Iron Man 2" anytime soon, you'll also never even notice that they have any connection to Marvel period.
It seriously amazes me when people automatically assume that once a company is purchased they'll see the parent meddling with a very successful formula. I find it telling of just how little the average person knows about business.
Let's take a simple case - the film studio Miramax. Owned by Disney. And they've made or distributed films like Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting. These are hardly kiddie friendly!

Not really. I mean the guy who voiced Mickey Mouse for a long time is dead... But really, that's ridiculous, the above two posts speak truth.![]()
I know. xD I was just destroying your joke with the truth!![]()
as long as they keep their mits off of the upcoming Deadpool movie, I don't really have a problem with it.
Seeing Disney already owning Miramax [as mentioned before in this topic] which released some very not child friendly films, makes me feel a lot more at ease.
but because Marvel Entertainment are part of the comics industry which has a large market of children/teens, It's not particularly hard to see Disney stepping in to make Marvel head the direction that Disney wants it to move in.
