Disney buys Marvel Entertainment

[Izzy]

Fuck Disney.

Says the guy from Team Loli!

[Not Kuno]

Go go gadget indie comics

[Ragnus]

Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Sora, Mickey, and Riku are now in the lineup.


Not sure what to think of this deal though... I'll give it time before exploding.

Ridiculously sweet deal for Marvel, but I guess Disney bought them just in time to cash in on Iron Man 2?

Marvel-themed stuff at Disneyland/world/etc. will be kinda neat, I guess.

They already have Marvel-themed rides at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The Hulk ride is pretty sweet IMO.

ah sweet, now I can read the comics I always wanted to....

DeadPool/Bambi crossover

X-men vs The Seven Dwarfs

Simba the Spider-Lion

Trying a little too hard on that one.

[Null]

A little?

I highly doubt this deal will change to much other then Disney getting profits. Marvel was doing their thing just perfectly. Many companies have bought others just to give them funding and in return get money back.

Actually, I could see the Deadpool/Bambi crossover clearly in my head...

I was trying to be nice for once.

Comics now raised to 7.99 USD a pop.

Idk why more people don't turn to torrents for comics. I wouldn't have read 80% of what I've read this year if it wasn't for torrents. hopefully disney won't start cracking down on those torrents sites

[Correction]

Idk why more people don't turn to torrents for comics.

Yeah let's all pay zero dollars for comics, that'll get the industry whipped back into shape!

And comics are probably the best bathroom reading material, so paying for trade paperbacks reaps other rewards.

Single issue prices and a hyper-saturated collectible toy market are the core problem for comic book stores right now, given the volume they're forced to order from Diamond. Seriously, fuck Diamond.

Because unlike you, real people aren't cheap motherfuckers who want everything for free.

I am a huge disney fan. Went to disney world every year growing up, had all the movies, had the channel back when you had to pay for it, the whole pie.

Sadly, Eisner turned disney into a big mess And thank god Roy Disney (Jr.) got him kicked out finally. (seriously kinda wish they kept it in the family, but meh).

I've been wondering how Iger is going to turn out, and so far imo I think this is a good move.

Disney itself has been having to hold up on it's purchases for the most part (ABC, Pixar, etc.), so this is one more step in holding up during this economy when their parks aren't doing so well.


I also highly doubt anything will change, I can imagine Marvel wasn't stupid and didn't sign anything that would make it so they have to "Disneyize" their comics n' such.

[Khajit]

who is he? not comic fan.

Seriously this is really unexpected as never in million years anyone would think Disney would buy Marvel.

What the other guy said. Basically he hates his ex wife and "loves" his mother so that has been spilling over into the comics despite the crap he wants in being retarded.
THAT is why he deleted Spider man's marriage via selling it to the devil to save a billion year old woman who cant stay alive for more than 5 years tops before turning to dust logically(with an abortion included to boot), had Cyclops make out with the woman he was cheating on Jean Grey with OVER HER GRAVE, etc etc etc. Many people were not amused. now that i think of it does that mean emma frost is supposed to be a mother figure?She's the one who dresses like a dominatrix if you dont know.
One person working on the "one more day" storyline(the one that deleted spider-man's marriage) had to have Stan Lee himself come in and convince the guy to let his name even be associated with the comic as a favor because he hated the storyline and the fact that he had to help with it so badly.

Basically he's been trolling the entire comic book community only he's not doing it on purpose. He's just that retarded. Although I acknowledge the possibility that he actually does know what he's doing and find massive enjoyment from the trolling he probably actually thinks the fans like the crap he's spewing to them. Spiderman even has a caricature of him running the bugle right now mocking the shit out of him.

First thing I thought of after hearing about the buyout actually... what does that say about us?

[Qalbert]

Wouldn't that movie be all of 10 seconds?

[Khajit]

Not if you turn bambi into a zombie bent on revenge!
Deadpool was the hunter!

[Sol-Blackguy]

Does this mean there's a chance of an X-Men movie that isn't all about Wolverine?

[Qalbert]

Deadpool was the hunter!

I pictured more.
Bambi: *crying about mom*
Deadpool: What's wrong?
Bambi: M-m-my mother is d-d-dead...
Deadpool: *shoots Bambi*
Deadpool: *to audience* What?
