Wooo boy.

I imagine some people are going to be mad about this one. I like it.

I demand a Namor/Ariel confrontation.

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2009, 09:53 AM

As long as they don't make any drastic changes, I see no reason to complain. I'm a little nervous about it though.

*The Stryker* · 08-31-2009, 10:10 AM

It'll probably end up having the same effect as WB owning DC.

Read: None at all.

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2009, 10:12 AM

That's what I'm expecting. It's really had minimal effect on DC, so I'm not sure why it would on Marvel. To be fair, I'd be a little nervous no matter who bought a comic company I follow though.

I now have Disney characters tattooed to my leg...

I'm hoping this means better animation standards on the Marvel DTV movies. No more stilted sh*t like Ultimate Avengers.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-31-2009, 01:33 PM

This autta be interesting. Will Marvel now get the rights to the Disney comics Boom Studios has been putting out??? Will Spidey team up with Gargoyles? Will Super Gonzo join the Avengers? OOh Will Lexington join Beast's group? Will Derek Maza/Talon become the new Black Panther or be worshipped by the Wakandans??

Will the Gargoyles and Mutates be forced to register?

*Spitfire* · 08-31-2009, 01:37 PM

Now Spider-man can kick Goofy right in the face.

*Cure* · 08-31-2009, 02:17 PM

Spider-Man would never do that. Goofy's a good guy and too likable. Make some sense, homie!

But he annoys me and I like Spider-man. Would it make more sense if Deadpool did it then?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-31-2009, 03:05 PM

Well, there goes any hope of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (not that there ever was much). Whatever. That's what Mugen is for. Though that thought does bother me. Disney has a longer and more violent history of shutting down fan projects (eg: stuff just like Mugen). If they sued a daycare for painting Mickey Mouse on their wall, they'll be far more likely to go after fans for making a Captain America sprite in a fan game.

Overall, this will probably/hopefully mean little in the long run, but I don't like one company owning so much. Doesn't sit right. Probably means nothing, but I've never felt comfortable with so much under one roof. And don't expect the animation to get better on DTV projects. Disney's TV stuff has been dogsh*t for years now.

I wonder how this will affect Spider-Man 4?

Uh. Wrong.

Phineas and Ferb is one of the best animated shows on TV today. Don't get me started on their other shows that have done crazy well.

*Ninjinister* · 08-31-2009, 03:35 PM

I'm not predicting any crossovers coming out of this, but if they did, I'd only want to see one:

Wolvie & Stitch.

Word.

*XERO* · 08-31-2009, 03:44 PM

This could possibly make the Kingdom Hearts series even more interesting.

It won't. They've said that all the movie franchises that are done by Fox will be finished thru Fox till the contracts run out. They're not really changing anything.

And so it starts.... the first fan art of the Disney/Marvel merger has appeared. *rotflmao*

*Cure* · 08-31-2009, 05:33 PM

Totally didn't see that coming!

*The Stryker* · 08-31-2009, 05:47 PM

People still care about Gargoyles?
