All this really means is Sky High 2 can have licensed heroes instead of the witty funny funs they had. Sure, new contracts will get written up but considering how Disney is mostly miss, this can't be good news for True Believers.
NO WAI.
As a huge Marvel Comics fan this floors me, gonna be interesting to see how all this goes.
Also the first 2 X-Men films were amazing, I dunno what your saying about Fox Manhandling them.

Not necessarily. Disney is a big company with fingers in a lot of pies, and they're not all Donald Duck-flavored. This is the company that owns The Nightmare Before Christmas, and produced 1 1/2 good Pirates of the Caribbean films (which is far more than anyone really expected). They should be smart enough to know not to screw with what works. The knee-jerk reaction is Mickey Mouse being kidnapped by Doctor Doom (which shouldn't be a problem, and would probably be the greatest comic book ever), but I don't feel that this is how that's going down.
This really probably won't be an different from Warner Bros. partnership with DC. Every DC movie is released by Warner bros, and Warner Bros. interactive usually has something to do with the game releases (not sure if that's the case with Arkham Asylum, though).

They fucked Bryan Singer over by not allowing him to do Superman and come back for X3 (lots of politics behind that), and went with Brett Ratner for the third film (aka the EVERYBODY GETS RANDOM POWERS show). The less said about Wolverine the better, but it's pretty well-known that the studio did a lot of screwing around with the production/budget (see: really terrible CGI claws, also Wolvering BOXING the Blob). So, yes, they manhandled the franchise. They had two great movies, and two terrible ones. An even split for what should have been a sure-fired super-franchise is a bit of a screw-up, don't you think?

I'm very interested to see where this goes. Especially since Universal Studios, Disney World's biggest competitor, has a Marvel section at Islands of Adventure in Orlando. And your comment on the front page article about potentially bringing the films into one complete shared universe is exciting.
Also, Howard the Duck is retconned into the McDuck family tree!

In my opinion, MOST of Marvel's films have been shit, so this is fine with me. If Disney can bring in the financial backing to possibly increase the quality of those films, I'm all for it.
As for comics? I only read old ones anyway.

While this does seem rage-worthy, I'm excited to see what kinds of games come out of this. What if the next MvC had fucking Jafar and Ursula as characters? HOW CASH WOULD THAT SHIT BE?
The answer is, of course, "so cash".

I have a dream that someone bought marvel and bought dc from warner bros and owned both and reset all the universes under one cohesive roof.
it was a wet dream by the way.

I mentioned this in the frontpage blog, but Quesada was quoted as comparing the situation to the relationship that Pixar has with Disney. Disney distributes their films, but really, other than like, Toy Story, Disney is hands-off with Pixar's stuff. The only thing keeping Pixar PG is Pixar deciding to do so, something that will probably change with the upcoming live action John Carter of Mars film they're doing.
If that's the case, there's really nothing to worry about on the comics-end of things. I'm getting the vibe that Marvel, while living on Mouse House property, will be occupying its own guest house instead of shaking up under the main roof.

I can't see Disney messing with the brand game-wise.
They didn't really care much for the A Nightmare Before Christmas game (who did?!) and usually that's a money making brand. I always saw Kingdom Hearts as a game where Square Enix bought the likeness rights and Disney just counted the cash, rather than a true experimental collaboration.
I've never seen Disney that interested in anything unless it really makes money for them, as we saw with Pixar after Toy Story 2.

Its strange how EA was not absorbed, but a much more recognizable and legendary company was instead. What the fuck?
I am not totally worried about how Disney weilds the motherfucking infinity gauntlet now but--- WAIT WHAT, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK
Also, also also also... what will happen to The Avengers movie? The... new Iron Man? Iron Man was the first Marvel movie I saw that felt like total kickassery in a long time.
