| *sigh* Don't see why I even bothered having this conversation in gTalk instead of here in the first place... - Quote :
- [007bistromath]: They are still separate stables of characters. Disney can't remove the branding or they will have problems in the market.
[Penguin]: So if you wanna split hairs, then, it's Marvel vs. Capcom vs. Disney vs. Squaresoft [007bistromath]: Kingdom Hearts is the fusion of Squaresoft and Disney, and therefore the most communicative name to insert here. [Penguin]: Yeah, but it's a game title, not company. Otherwise, Marvel vs. Capcom would be Street Fighter vs. Spiderman vs. Wolverine vs.... [007bistromath]: Also having that name leverages a franchise which will turn the game into a million seller on release. Marketing beats pedantry, sry. | |

Dunno about you, but that's what I'm hoping. Apart from those Pixar-related miniseries, Disney comics haven't really been on the American market since Gemstone went bankrupt, and there are tons of really good comics there that are either out of print or never got printed in the first place... If Disney or Marvel have any sense, they'll at the very least publish a Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck trade! Boom Studios, the publishers of those Pixar miniseries, are scheduled to relaunch Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories this month, and add Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge next month. The numbers will pick up where Gemstone left off. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And I gathered from a post on their forum that a Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck collection is in the works. This all assumes that the Marvel deal doesn't affect Disney and Boom's existing contract, and I don't see how it could. I figure if anything's going to change, it will take until at least the time Boom's licensing contract comes up for renewal. | |

| I really think this is a good thing. Yes, Disney is an evil overlord corporation that will one day rule the planet, but I love them anyway and I can't see how this will negatively affect Marvel as a whole. Maybe it will hurt the image for a bit, but that's all. - Sheba wrote:

Shit, I almost cried. It's sort of the same effect we got when we had to imagine some 6' 3" guy called Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, only fearfully cute. | |

| Blah, blah, blah Disney is a superpower that could make some countries look like actual mice, blah, blah, blah, they exert this megalomaniacal force yet again, blah, blah, blah hey, money for some of my favorite heroes, along with some of the best animators and screenwriters in the world. I see nothing to complain about. | |

| I'm just curious what will happen to Marvel Island of Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. I read in an article that since Marvel licensed a lot of its product so I'm sure that's where that particular theme park came from, but I'm just wondering what Universal Studios will change the park into. Hmm... | |

How it can go wrong: Some retard in marketing thinks that, like most of Disney's recent success (Incredibles, Madagascar, every other CG movie with animals doing things animals don't normally do, Shrek, etc), all of Marvel should be "Family Friendly." Which basically means dumbing it down and camping it up to the point only a slobbering retard of a five year old would think it's at all decent. Other retards in the company agree, and the idea become policy. Granted, Disney, for the most part, isn't retarded. So it won't likely happen. | |

| I'm just waiting for Uncle Scrooge and Tony Stark to meet up and get into a pissing contest about their respective fortunes. I reiterate what others have said...I love both franchises so I'm more than willing to trust all this. (Besides, hasn't Disney--in the guise of Pixar--already showed they know what good superhero stories are about?) | |
