This is going to be ESPECIALLY rough on Punisher fans.

speaking of flaming Meteors of death...

The Movie armageddon

was distributed by touchstone pictures. Disney's "more mature" film company. They also distributed Con Air and Dark Water(2005). And they realsed the 2008 video game of Turok the dinosaur hunter.

They also passed on distributing Dogma back when Kevin Smith had a deal with Miramax.

Yeah that's what I was going to mention next. Films like reservoir dogs and gangs of new york and kill bill.

Then I was going to go into Hollywood pictures with The Rock.

Why?

Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
Reservoir Dogs
Gangs of New York
Armageddon
The Rock
Con Air
Dark Water

None of them are cutesy wootsey pieces.

Besides, Marvels BEEN going downhill since at least Joe Q took the reigns.

Nobody opposes this at least on the grounds that media consolidation is wrong?

Can't say I see what the problem is. From what I gather, Marvel's going to be exactly the same except now they have the financial backing of one of the most powerful corporations in the world. Marvel's been successful on their own just fine for years now, so I don't see why Disney would try to change any thing.

And now the chances of Deadpool appearing in the Kingdom Hearts game have risen significantly. Seems like a Win/Win all around.

The thing is, Disney have over 5000 of Marvel's character. They can use them in anyway they want them to. That means, they can include them in any of their media to try and gain more money. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they make a kids cartoon for only age 10 and below using marvels character. Any ways, only time will tell.

It looks like Mickey Mouse is going to be the new TOAA.

That would be marvel doing what you're afraid that disney will do.

In case you didn't know they do have lines of products aimed at younger audiences.

Why not? They make more money that way.

They were responsible for Muppet Babies, weren't they?

You're right. Marvel and Jim Henson made the Muppet Babies. it ran on CBS until Henson's children sold the Muppet rights to Disney. Then it ran on ABC.

I'm most likely not going to be here in a few years (who am I kidding ?) but it would be hilarious to see Mr Master make sense of some of the 'feats' that will be pulled in various crossover and revise his 'Cosmic hierarchy'.
