Yes, most of what you fight are demons formed from people who've had their hearts ripped out of them, so there's not a lot of blood.
Okkkkkk....you win.

"We are going to do something with" =/= "We are going to change".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.
That's not speculation.
It also wouldn't make sense to make drastic changes to something you know is successful. "If it aint broke why fix it?"
What you're saying makes sense. It'd take alot of time and effort and resources to do drastic alterations like that.

Yeah. In all fairness, we're all speculating at this point. But there are of course reasonable assumptions and "better movies and cartoons" does not seem like something that's very likely to happen. I can't imagine any kind of cartoon that Disney has created or helped create which has been aimed at any kind of mature audience.

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"

"Chances are" means that I feel it's probable, but when I preface it with "none of us can know anything" it's clear that I'm not making predictions. You can't remove a line from its context without losing meaning.
And it might just be that they are doing it for money, not to make changes. Speculation again, true. But I'm not pretending otherwise. In any case, the move certainly doesn't "spell out" anything, as you seem to suggest.

Yes, I read your post and raised your speculation with one of my own. There's nothing wrong with posting reasons why I think that your speculation is less likely than mind. Like 90% of the stuff on this forum is speculation, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it in this thread. mmm
Disney's trying to buy up Marvel, this calls for a gathering of ideas. Allow the wise and avid comicbook readers post what they think is going to happen.
If this was 1995...yeah, I can make sense of this deal. I just don't see the point of this (aside from making money) and also we all know what Disney can do to Comic Book Characters:
Cool movie and all...but I just prefer Chester Gould sinister and morbid writing of the villains.

That film sucked.
Originally posted by Creshoski see what your saying and yeah i saw that spiderman comicbook and that was a one shot deal thingy thats not how they do the characters every day in the long run series. i know theres that marvel mini series and stuff and yeah i liked them they were entertaining and stuff but those were one shot series books. and im afraid if disney takes over the comicbook publishing from buying marvel they are gonna make there comic book series's storylines different and with different art detail as well. yeah will probably sell good for kids and stuff but wont be the same for the people who have been reading comics for years.
What makes you say that?Duobt it.
Nope. Might have him make an appearence in spider-ham the adventures of peter porker though.

Why would a company buy another successful company just to change it that drastically? That makes no sense from a business standpoint.
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 already has some marvel animation shows on there channels and thers nothing wrong with that. and nothing wrong with disney releasing their own marvel tv series or movies. its just i can tell right off the back if they go into releasing comicbook series's they are gonna change the storyline with the characters and stuff unless they use the same writers from marvel today. i know its a little hard for you to understand you just think im putting down disney and im not i just think companies should stick to their own characters. and yeah ive seen some marvel disney crossovers before but like i said those are never permenant they are one shot series and if disney takes over marvel with the comic book series they will probably throw in goofy and the rest of them in the marvel series as well and make it look childish.

They saw marvel as successful. why would they drastically change that?
They're not stupid you know.
Another interesting article. #10 has a lot of possibilities.
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090831-marvel-disney-ten-questions.html
Publishing companies are taking a %$#@ kicking right now. What IF?..... Disney decides to shut down production of monthly comic books? Why continue with a loss leader when they can market those characters in a more profitable manner!
Now we know what the "Dark Reign" is really all about!
I have a headache!
Red Hulk is Mickey! red She Hulk is Minnie! Goofy will join the Pet Avengers.
Trapped in a world he never made, Howard The Duck meets Donald Duck!
Wall E/Machine Man X-over event!
See the newest, hippy hop X-men, Hannah Montana!
Wolverine: The Hidden Agenda! --->>> Wolverine will be Declawed!
*** I bet Bowen will lose their license because they will not follow some stupid new "disney" rule!
*** maybe Disney felt threatened by Marvel at the box office. Looking down the road, they decided to buy Marvel rather than compete with them. So, will that Avengers movie still come out? I doubt it. And I thought the end of the world was not until December, 2012! WTF?
This is PROOF that God Hates us all!!!!
Originally posted by Creshoskfor them it wont be ruining they would probably make alot off of marvel for sure for all the children and stuff. its just gonna ruin things some for the comicfanboys like us that have stuck and have been used to the storylines from the begining. for the kids or newbies starting off reading marvel wont be a huge deal for them.
Is that why that was issue 16?You mean like the Superhero Squad?

and no i dont have any proof of what i said of what disney will do with the characters. thats just my guess. like do you have any proof disney will make things any better ? NO thats just your opinion on it.
and yeah i saw the #16 it was still a one shot series.
