You did not just say that Tarantino and jerry bruckhiemers work was kiddy...

Disney has Miramax, hollywood pictures and touchstone as subsidiaries.
That means Disney released Kill bill, reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, gangs of New York, the rock, Armageddon and dark water.
NONE of which are kiddy.
Hell, Marvel has merchandise lines aimed at preschoolers.

thats fine if disney buys marvel to sell 4 year old spiderman back packs and merchandise like thats not happening already. i dont have a problem with that. or they start release their own tv shows with marvel characters or release some movies. i dont have a problem with that. what bothers me is if disney buys marvel and takes over the comic book publishing thats what bothers me.

Marvel won't have to pay paramount for the distribution. And Disney won't have to pay the licensing to distribute the animated properties.
But like I said. Disney has darker titles. So they're not aopposed to darker things.
Hell, look at kingdom hearts. That's pretty dark and violent. And yet Disney still puts their primary titles into it.
Spoiler:
At one point in time the characters are lead to think that goofy is killed

Disney aren't gonna spend four bill unless they think Marvel are worth more than that. I highly doubt that will mean a change to the regular titles. What's most likely, if any dramatic change at all, is an increase in the variety of titles. Possibly some more kids friendly titles like the Adventure series.

Cheaper comics?? Hopefully.
Do people honestly believe that Disney would spend 4 billion dollars just to take Marvel and completely change it so that it has absolutely no identification with a huge portion of its target demographic?
Disney isn't stupid. It realizes the purpose of all of those mature comic titles, gritty characters, et al. It's not gonna have Mickey star in a serious, canon comic with Wolverine.
The major change will be that Marvel now has even more money to play with and make changes with. We'll likely see more movies and tv shows, and hopefully further advances in the comics industry itself.
I had my reservations at first but after reading some of the updates, I dont think there wont be much changes, if any. If Disney wanted to merge the characters, all they have to do is create another universe. DC already has like a trillion of them. Hopefully this means we'll see more Marvel tv animation on just one place. As of now im confident, hopefully nothing changes for the worse.
QUICK!! EVERYONE! SPECULATE WILDLY AND ASSUME AWFUL, AWFUL THINGS ABOUT THE MERGE WITHOUT ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF IT!! HURRY! BEFORE THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH IT AND IT BECOMES PASSE!
So yeah. None of us can really know anything at this point. Thanks for the info, DV, and we should all just take a 'wait and see' sort of approach. Chances are we won't even be aware of the change. it seems cooler minds are prevailing in this thread, which is good to see. But I get a chuckle out of the Chicken Little's.

Now who's speculating wildly. Disney had a reason for doing this, namely that they wanted access to Marvel's wide library of characters. To me, that spells out "We are going to do something with Marvel's characters"
Disney had a reason for doing this, no doubt. Obviously it's because they think they can make money via Marvel. This could just be by giving Marvel better movies and cartoons, which is Disney's forte. Doesn't mean they're going to change anything, just pump more money into Marvel's underdeveloped media.
I realize I'm speculating, but only because I don't think that it's at all clear that Disney's going to change the way things are working.
