I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, Disney has more resources to pull from while making a movie. However if Disney executives feel it's more profitable to reach a larger pre-teen audience, will they start taking the axe to Marvel story lines.

Will Marvel movies, tv shows have to be edited (censored) to be shown on Disney channel?

One more point I want to make.

The deal underscores Disneyâs focus on growth and could herald a new wave of media consolidation, analysts said.


Is this a sign of things to come? Where Google, Walmart and Disney own everythng through some form of consolidation.

Disney and Marvel are completely different. Hope they won't start messing up Marvel cause I'm a big fan of Marvel! Don't you see the difference between Disney (cute animals, silly crap, stupid music) and Marvel (violence and action, blood, fighting)??? I hope Marvel won't turn into 'kid friendly shit' cause I HATE DISNEY!

Disney is ruining everything me and my friends like. Did you know the Prince of Persia movie will be made by Disney? They'll ruin that too!

It didn't even take Disney a week to ruin Marvel for me. A new series my little brother watched on Cartoon Network completely RUINED Marvel. I just hope that the Punisher, though from Marvel, doesn't turn into a pansy.

I think things will stay mostly the same, There will probably be a few movies and cartoons that will ensue, but nothing like a Hannah Montana comic book...C'mon guys be realistic.

This is just another way for Disney to make even more money, if they change things too much then they will lose the Marvel audience, thus losing money. This may be a good thing for Marvel, Disney may give them a bigger budget in their up coming movies and games.

We'll just have to wait and see....
