Hello,
i want say on that...[X box Live Arcade] It's June 1977, and any day now the passage of the Keene Act will outlaw all masked vigilantes not sanctioned by the government. Rorschach has uncovered a mysterious missing person's case.

Maybe if all the people in this thread who, in the comic book section, admitted to illegally downloading the comics and not paying for them and all the other people around the world who do the same didn't steal them in the 1st place then maybe Marvel would be worth more to the point that it would have been economically unviable for Disney to buy them in the 1st place. Meaning that if you don't pay for your comics then you have no right to an opinion as to whether or not the quality drops and the content changes after the buyout.

Just a thought.

Seeing as comics revenue has been around the same as TOYS (9%), even since before downloading was an option, I would suggesting shutting your mouth.

I thought 4 billion seemed a very low price considering the 5k+ characters and whatnots included.

I never illegally downloaded a comic. I'll have to look into this.

I have never illegally downloading any comics. I don't have any comics. Wait I do have a Wolverine special cover edition sitting in my safety deposit box, but I bought that one back in the 80's. wink

Wait, is Wolverine Marvel?

DC was bought by Warner Brothers ages ago and they're still good


I don't think Disney will change the comics or the characters, it just means they own the rights to films and theme park rides and stuff they can make big money out of

Warner has mostly made action movies while Disney has been making things like...Camp Rock and crap.

I'm going chime here (even thought I've already given my responses in the comic book forum) The reason why certain Marvel fans aren't too happy is because of the possible changes (yes, you'd be pretty stupid to think there won't be any) that might happen to their beloved characters.

Well, speaking personally I was fed up with the changes and the direction of Marvel in the mid 90s and drop them like a bad habit. The new generation of comic book readers will eventually adapt the the changes. Whereas the hardcore fans might feel out of place.

Let's be honest...Disney? They're just as bigger A-holes as EA.

Everyone hates EA....so..yeah!

however, by continually producing content of a caliber so low that I would feel totally ripped off having spent $5 on it, they aren't doing much to welcome the piracy crowd back...

Most of those movies aren't very family friendly and did Disney make them? No.

I wouldn't know. I don't read them anyway. Just making the point that the same people who have contributed to the financial undervaluing of Marvel due to their piracy have no right to moan when a company like Disney take them over and, if they do, make changes (which they probably wont anyway.
