Dunno how many comic book aficionados are on this forum, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Half my department at work are saddened and/or outraged by this.

It's probably because Marvel is hot right now. They've had quite a few successful movies the last few years. I don't have kids so don't pay attention, but has Disney put out any good movies lately?

 

Drug companies have been doing the same thing. Nothing new in the pipeline, patents expiring, buy a company with a good drug to make some money.

All of Marvel's current projects (Spidey movies and Iron Man to note) will not be changed for contract reasons-- so, producers and distributing will still be done by the respective companies that originally signed on. From what I've read, it doesn't seem like Disney will have any effect on these marquee items (except gain revenue).

 

I have also heard that Disney is interested in possibly starting up some possible new movies on some characters who haven't received any thought yet (maybe Thor!), but this is probably just fanboy rumors. I'm a bit skeptical about Disney releasing a comic book movie myself, considering the current trend is dark and gritty (for the most part), and that doesn't necessarily scream Magic Kingdom. However, if anyone has the budget to make a couple blockbusters (Avengers? Marvel civil war?), Mickey and co can pull it off.

bbk, i agree that the Avengers and Marvel Civil War should both be made asap. i'm just not sure i want disney behind it.

Going to Disney in 2 weeks to cheer up my family and create some happy memories. Most of you do not know but my wife and I lost our baby at 20 wks 2 weeks ago. Hopfully this idea will work. Sorry for being a downer on the thread.

Very sorry for the loss of your baby.

Sorry to hear that Doc.

So sorry to hear that Doc, my prayers are with you and your family

Thank you to all of you. It is very hard. Getting better day by day. I was really looking forward to being a daddy again. All of you parents out there know the feeling I am talking about. The new baby smell, the idea that there is this little life is completely dependent on you. It is an awsome rush that is better that any drug you could take. I know will will try again. And I am hoping our trip next week will cheer my wife up as see sees our son having a great time. We just recently found out that our little girl was very sick and grew without a brain, spleen or digestive track. I can only guess that her body finally told her little heart to stop beating. (sigh) God does everything for a reason and this is my new first question for him when we meet my second question will be where is my daughter I have been waiting a long time to see her.

 

Again thank you to all of you.
