I'm so scared. People say this may be a good thing. I'm sorry, I just can't see Disney promoting Marvel Zombies. :c

Oh Gawd,
What has Disney done?!

[Death Voices]

Oh dears.
This is not good.

Marvel, I hope 4 billion dollars is worth watching your greatest characters go down the toilet for some marketing ploy.

[Blackout]

HAH! Batman is DC! So I'm still happy.

Marvel are an absurdly successful business, and Disney would be fools to mess with a good thing. Most acquisitions of this magnitude really dont change much when considering successful franchises.

Wait, then whats going to happen to the comics, are they going to be super-censored?!

Mary Jane Watson will get replaced by Hannah Montana.

OMFG...The Punisher is going to suck now probably...  *RAGE*

Well, unless anyone here has the billions of dollars to buy it back away from Disney, there's not much we can do about it. So no use in assuming the worst and then worrying about it.

Disney isn't all bad after all. If they did everything wrong, they wouldn't be the huge company they are. Not saying they haven't ruined things before either, mind you. But as I said, there's nothing we can do about it. So whatever happens, happens.

While that is true, I have problems seeing Disney promote heroes such as the Punisher, Deadpool, and their series Marvel Zombies. It's just not kiddy enough.

I'd agree with Rigor that most of the public already sees Marvel as "intended for more-mature audiences"... what really bothers me in particular is the way that Disney and Marvel went about in this. They practically advertised instead of trying to keep quiet.

And that's when a web comic I wanted to do starts. Yea I thought up something interesting at work while thinking about this. I got a tad scared. HULK THE SING ALONG VERSION! For tone deff children, all you do is grunt say your name then Smash! It's a big hit! And every time you smash something get rid of the blood, or anything and put in HAPPY RAINBOWS THAT SPUR FROM NO WHERE! And all the flowers with their happy faces dance and sing.

Yea I went off on this at work, even acted it out as I went. If I can figure out how to work youtube so I can make small movies I'll show you how umm interactive I can be when I rant.

I think people are over reacting. Yes disney are famous for muted tails for the most childish of children, but they seem to let companies run autonomously. Pixar do what they've always done (obviously pixar talent hasnt bled into disney talent, the two are on polar opposites in terms of the recent quality of film.) And Miramax do what they've always done (on the edge of decency.)

actually Miramax is a good one to point out. They are owned by disney, and they released Clerks. Actually most of their films are mature... thuogh obviously calling Clerks mature is a bit... wrong.

Disney didn't exactly flaunt it as if it were a shiny new toy to play with when they bought Miramax either.
