OK so if one more person decides to tell me "Hey you like comics and nerdy things, did you know Disney bought Marvel?" or some variation of that.... I might punch them in the teeth
Obviously as a self respecting geek I have known since the day it was announced, and yes I have a damned opinon on it..... guess what it's not that bad
Disney has bought many a company.... Miramax and Pixar being two very large examples.... and rather than those companies going down the toilet, they have flourished with even more freedom than when they didn't have a parent company.... look since Disney bought Pixar films like Up and Wall-E have come out... and those were freaking fantastic movies
What Disney buying Marvel means for the world?
It means Disney now appeals to the demographic they have been unable to reach before, the 15-35 year old males who have absolutely no interest in Micky Mouse or Hanna Montana. It in no way shape or form means that Disney will be making Punisher more friendly or having the Hulk take anger management. It is merely a way for the rich bastards behind the mouse ears to make more cash.
Besides it's not like they can screw up the marvel universe ... it's all ready way too fucked up. As for the movies and such Spiderman and Iron Man both are being produced by studios other than Disney and I think (not sure) but those contracts are gonna be honored......
I can say nothing about perhaps Marvel characters in the next Kingdom Hearts... because I actually don't know if that would be awesome or terrible
ok so no one ask me about this anymore, because frankly it is isn't as earth shattering as people think Marvel will still have copious amounts of freedom to fuck itself over or to rise like Pheonix from the ashes(again and again and again).
Now I'm off to listen to AboutHeroes latest podcast, which I believe is on this exact topic
in the words of Tigger TTFN,
I made a post about it over here (seiberwing.livejournal.com/156531.html), which was about the same opinion. People just like to panic, especially nerd people.
ReplyDeleteVery true, change can be hard for us nerd types
ReplyDeletebtw if you want to write something about transformers I'd be happy to post it, it's just aria and I have basically no knowledge beyond little kid watching
I can if you'd like, just not sure what to write about. We had that discussion about female Transformers the other day, I suppose I could do something on that.
