Disney to acquire Marvel Entertainment.

To be fair, when Dogma started getting death threats for being anti-Catholic Disney cut ties, which is why it was distributed by Lions Gate instead of Miramax.

Joshua wrote:Yeah, to compare Marvel's mainstream comic books to ICP would be ludicrous. Hell, I don't know why Disney's getting so much shit when Marvel has done plenty of their own self-censoring, as with Quesada's smoking ban. Why Marvel is suddenly being treated like a victim, particularly by people who have done their own fair share of Marvel/Quesada bashing, is beyond me.

Putting those stars in would alienate that target market on principle alone. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot that bad?

In announcing its plans, Disney stated that current management at Marvel would remain in place to oversee its operations. Further, Disney did not plan to change Marvel to fit the current Disney brand. The boards of both companies have approved the merger plan, which must still pass an antitrust review and be approved by the companies' stockholders

Like when they put the High School Musical cast in The Chronicles of Narnia? Oh right, they went with unknown British kids. Oops.

People keep bitching about Disney putting lame actors in Marvel movies and have yet to provide examples of them ever doing this or been able to refute any of the examples I have provided.

Back the fuck off, son. I'm not bitching. I said there's a perfectly valid reason for them to do it, at no point did I say I would.

You need to chillax and stop thinking that everyone speculating about things is attacking Disney.

Granted, when the same concerns are voiced over and over while simultaneously being addressed, it does get a bit frustrating.

You know there ARE people like this, right?

And they already plan on casting Zack Efron as Tony Strk;s illegitimate son in Iron Man 3.

All I really want to come of this, to celebrate Marvel's 75th anniversary, would be for Disney to redeco Cinderella's Castle as Castle Doom. 1 Year, then retrofit it back to normal. I just think that would be AMAZING.

Castle Doom They should have Doom Bots selling Doom-ade and Doom Fries out side the castle. Dr. Doom would sit on his thrown (sp?) and every entrant to the park must genuflect before him. Doom taking over Disney World would be awesome

I think that's preposterous. They know what they have in their kid stars. What they've got are bankable faces for a particular crowd, NOT the next crop of fine young actors. That's cross-pollination like putting porn in private schools just because both make a lot of money.
