HOLY FUCK!

Walt Disney Buys Marvel Comics for $4 billion!

Actually the first thing I thought of was, 'hey, that means they're going to close Marvel Super Hero Island at Universal Studios'. That's like Graceland to my people. On the other hand - Super Hero Land at Walt Disney World! YES! ... In like fifteen years maybe

FINALLY, someone understands what the deal really means. I was starting to lose hope.

It means a great MANY things, in fact. I'll be the first to admit that I'm just scratching the surface!

SHOCKED. Whats this gonna do to the way they make their movies?? I shudder at the thought of it. And disney is evil!

At this point Disney executives say that they have no desire to mess with creative control. They have a good track record! Plus - imagine a Pixar/Marvel teamup! The Incredibles meets Fantastic Four, homes! We can either take Disney at their word or assume the worst - I, for one, am willing to entertain the possibility that this will open more doors than it closes.

In my opinion, it was going to happen eventually. Marvel just has way too many potentially lucrative properties to be ignored, especially considering the success of Iron Man, the Dark Knight, Spider-Man, etc. So my question - would you rather Marvel got bought by, say, Viacom? General Electric? FOX MEDIA?! I say no way sir! If it's a choice between Jerry Iger's nephew or Rupert Murdoch, I say keep it in the family.

I heard it here first!
