My major beef is that Disney is trying monopolize the media. They've been trying to sell serious comic books for a while with no success, now people won't have a choice unless they drop Marvel all together. And I don't see that happening.
I want to think they only own them in principle and won't change much, but my gut won't let me.

This move may actually help prevent a monopolization
If you want I could list the Time Warner properties and its business alliances.

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.

i don't see any reason at all to assume marvel will be going 'downhill' because of this. the article states disney has been trying to find something to hit the 'boy' demographic, an area they've always had problems with. i don't get a sense that sweeping changes will be made. in fact, if they did, it would seem to be contrary to the REASON they purchased marvel in the forst place.
one of the bigwig's even joked: ""Spider-Man will appear in 'A Bug's Life' sequel," joked Barclays Capital analyst Anthony DiClemente."
meh. big to-do about nothing, imo. at least for the moment.
Hey, WD! Maybe now Marvel will start distributing things on your maturity level, if this thread is any indication.
Your die-hard grudge against Marvel is actually pathetic.
Anyway, this is more shocking than anything, but ultimately I seriously cannot see Disney changing the products of a company that has been doing fine for seven decades.
It'll probably just be boardroom stuff.

seriously if disney buys marvel the story lines are gonna be BS. they are gonna lose alot of subs and comicfanboys that love marvel cause every storyline is gonna be childish because disney likes to keep things nice and appropriate for all ages. no more blood on wolverines claws for example or deadpool swearing or anything they find imature that you see in the comics today disney wont approve of it for sure.

But Marvel has a big deal going with Paramount Pictures now. How would this work?
$4 billion - that's a lot more than the $50 million New World Pictures(now defunct) spent in 1987 to buy Marvel. Didn't end up doing marvel any good.
"But Marvel still holds deals with Paramount, Sony and Fox for future movies, including several more Spider-Man films. Marvel chairman Morton Handel estimated that the company has about five more films with Paramount and intends to honor the current contracts it has with other movie studios, even if the Disney deal is inked before the contracts expire.
Marvel pays Paramount, the comic book company's primary movie distributor, between $20 million and $60 million per movie in distribution fees, according to Barton Crockett, analyst at Lazard Capital Markets.
Crockett said Disney would likely become the sole distributor of Marvel's movies in the future, giving it a "full plate" of movie releases, including Pixar, Marvel and its own films"

Because those are all nice and kid friendly. Just the way Disney likes it.
"1st its marvel anime. now disney wants to buy marvel and turn every character into a pu$$y. and what i mean by that is the stories in the comics arent gonna have as much drama and violence no blood for example deadpool cutting off someones head or wolverine swearing cause disney would want to keep it nice and appropriate for all children. stan lee needs to think this over"

At least disney has been successful in their endevours to keep their Disney name squeaky clean.
People don't even know about the subsidiary releases.
