Disney, Marvel, Woot's Predictions
So as many now know (or should know), Disney recently purchased Marvel Comics along with all their characters and content. As a life long Marvel fan, I’m not too excited by this move because I think Disney may not make the best choices of how to portray the world’s most bad-ass super heroes within the Disney-Family-Fun guidelines (let’s face it, we’ve been waiting for years for good, true-to-the-book, versions of comic movies, and just when we start getting them, the most white-washing media company gets a hold of the rights).
Anyway, I saw this morning Woot posted in their blog, the Marvel/Disney crossovers they would like to see. My favorite being
Bambi’s Mother vs. Uncle Ben: “With great power comes great responsibility” – or, “If you’d just been a better kid, I’d still be alive.” The neuroses of tomorrow begin here!
I guess on the upside, Disney will do whatever makes them the most money, so hopefully all the “fanboys” of former years now own software companies or fortune 500s, and can afford to make an impact on the market.
