    Default Disney to buy Marvel for $4 Billion

    Yup, Disney is looking to take over Marvel comics and all their movie licenses.

    Do you see it as a good or bad thing?

    marvel has done well over the years, I'd rather see Marvel stay on their own.
    Seems more like the CEO wanting a big buy-out, bonus or something.

    I hope Disney doesn't ruin Marvel by making it too kiddish..

    I just hope that Disney is just buying it and leaving it to the guys that are already on board Marvel.

    if this ever happens, i will personnally hunt the person down responsible for it. actually, i think i may just hunt down the jonas brothers and hannah montanna. it may be the easier route.

    I'm not sure what to expect from this, but hopefully a good outcome. I heard that Pixar may get involved in some animated flix with Marvel characters which would be sick. Hopefully we won't be seeing Spiderman with mickey ears too soon.

    EDIT: OR EVER!

    Would of had a good shot at the Jonas brothers last night- they were at ACC.

    But I honestly think this is a stupid move. Marvel and Disney are two very different worlds and I'd hate to see something like MK described

    Not hard at all Denty... just requires proper planning.... I'm sure if you were to call the backstreet boys or Nsync they'd help out... in order to revive their careers.. they could get the kids attn while you take out the jonas brothers... and maybe be lucky enough for Sean Desmond to be behind one of the jonas two for one FTW!!!

    now that is just great.. all your missing is minnie as Mary Jane if you think about it... would work well though... make Donald Duck Venom lol

    perfect Mickey Vs Donald and Peter Vs. Eddie am I the only one who sees this

    many of the characters would work hand in hand Vanessa Hudgins could be mystique... I mean she already used to be with her clothes off in front of the camera
