I woke up this morning, hearing on the news, that Disney will be acquiring Marvel Entertainment. I thought I was hearing things, until I reconfirmed through the blogosphere that the news was indeed true. This new acquisition will allow Disney the rights to over five-thousand of Marvel's most popular characters. This includes flagship characters such as Iron Man, Spider Man, The Fantastic Four and many others. Sure enough, life long fans of these iconic characters are running amuck with confusion and skepticism on how their beloved characters will be treated moving forward in comics, television and the big screen. Can you imagine... a potential Mickey Mouse and Iron Man crossover issue?
Guys... don't be too quick to judge. This could be a good thing for Marvel Entertainment. It will keep creative control [especially in movies] under one roof. Taking Spider Man away from Sony Pictures and other Marvel characters back under one umbrella company, making for better stories within consistent continuity. Much like how DC and Warner Brothers Entertainment is. And fellas, if you're worried about Disney turning Marvel into a non-violent-child-friendly-playground... I don't think Disney will undermine Marvel's core fan base. Plus... look at Vannesa Hutchens [not quite the Diseny role model... not that I'm complaining]! Last but not least, this could make way for possible Pixar projects on Marvel characters.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this will turn out for the best. Read the full story here.
