Disney buys Marvel?

One word: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Disney to buy Marvel for $4 billion

Well, there goes the rest of the Avengers series. Disney's the kiss of death for superhero movies. Unless it involves a teenage Kurt Russell. In tennis shoes.

haven't the marvel movies been less than stellar anyway?

not that i mean disney can necessarily do them better. but i didn't think they'd been that great yet anyway.

yay computer who wore tennis shoes!

One of the articles I was reading about this pointed out that all the movies deals already made will likely be unaffected by this. The same article also pointed out that Pixar has done the same thing since being purchased as they did before, and that Disney also owns Miramax, which gave us Dogma.

i'm just linking this because it sounds really positive. not that i'm saying you're wrong and he's right, i just wanted to transfer some peace of mind maybe? (assuming he's right...maybe he's wrong)
