You realise that Disney actually own a wide variety of production companies that produce more than just the typical Disney family oriented stuff? They own Miramax who produced things like Reservoir Dogs, Trainspotting, The Crow, Hero etc. and they created Touchstone in order to produce films that didn't fit into the traditional Disney material.

yes i do know that, but why do they have to keep buying companies like pixar and marvel.

Well Marvel are constantly running out of money, so it's probably a good thing that somebody with some financial clout is going to take over.

Becuause if they own the company they no longer have to worry about competing with it.  Disney started a comic company a year or two ago called Kingdom Comics that they are using to re-invent and re-distribute classic disney tales and characters.  Now they don't have to worry about those books competing with Marvel since they own both companies.

I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken.

HOW Can marvel run out of money.  they are constantly selling comics, and their movies are making millions.  what do they do with all that money.?

I think that that is not problem when Disney Walt buy Marvel, because they will get

many new ideas :)

 

P.S. I like the Black hole´s last part / ending because one bad guy became robot into Black hole:

Damn! 

Don't worry Yian, that's obviously not entirely true. The real truth is that they are using most of their money to develop a powered suit of armour for Stan Lee so he can fight crime more effectively.

i knew that *gloats* and i think it was 1969 too.

i dont see a problem with disney owning marvel.  disney have alot of money to throw around and as long as marvel where cleaver like pixar where, there alot smarter than people give them credit for, there still making all the films they planned too only with more financial backing how is that a bad thing.  pixar are still making fantastic movies regardless the fact they where bought out by disney (i'm still waiting to see UP i think its released here today in the UK i wanna see it D: no ruining it for me >_>) 

i dont think disney owning marvel is gonna change much accept the films and comics might get the Disney logo on it *shrugs*

that and you might see Disney ads inside the comics. but I'd agree with you, for the near future I don't think much if anything is going to change in the direction of Marvel. a few years down the road though it's hard to say. difference between Pixar and Marvel is that Pixar has been a success since it's first movie and continues to succeed. Marvel's been bankrupt once and though it was doing better now I still don't think it was the cash cow it used to be. So Disney may try to fix it.

I started reading All Star Batman earlier, at least I thought I did. That's what it said it was on the cover. For some reason the inside appears to be the insane ramblings of a madman.
