This could either be good thing or a bad thing. I hope this doesn't affect the Iron Man 2 movie

It won't affect Iron Man 2 and 3 at all. The first one made money lol

Meh, that's a small portion of the official Disney Money Pile(tm).

As long as Mickey Mouse doesn't start showing up in comic books we should be okay.

"This is perfect from a strategic perspective," Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger told CNNMoney.com. "This treasure trove of over 5,000 characters offers Disney the ability to do what we do best."

If he means f**k everything up into a pile of worthless crap, then he is dead on. This is terrible, and I am VERY VERY pissed off.

God damn it...

Iron Man 2

Starring all 3 Jonas Brothers as Tony Stark

[Metallica Man X]

Mein Gott.

As much as I'd like to be optimistic...we all know the moment Disney starts touching those comics/characters it's all done for for marvel. A sad, sad end to a long history of awesome.

We can only hope that Disney will just own them, and won't try to affect any of their decisions, and realize the marvel guys know what they're doing.

Oh wait, we're talking about Disney. Never mind, marvel's dead.

Amen.

Come on guys, arn't you looking forwards to these sorts of crossovers?

[Metallica Man X]

if it were a parody, with no connection to marvel what so ever...those'd be cool. Unfortunately...........if those were to happen now, they'd probably be serious, and absolutely terrible.

Ladies and gents....it's official. The end of days has begun.

[Biased]

I suppose now every new Marvel story will feature a Disney character cameo, a song by Phil Collins or Randy Newman, and a heartwarming moral to take away from the experience.

P.S. Nobody will die and there won't be any more than 30 seconds of fight scenes, violence, or swearing combined throughout any one movie.

Damn, why couldn't they have bought DC instead?

Damn, why couldn't they have bought DC instead?

Because DC is owned by Warner Bros.
