While I have nothing against making money I can easily see disney doing to the source material what Hasbro have done to Transformers and G.I.Joe. Changing them so they are almost unrecogniseable by the fans to pull in a larger audience. And make it more understandable for the IQ impaired. A larger audience means more $$$$. Buisness is buisness they say. Yet another reason why I want to get into CGI and make each comic exactly as they were portrayed in the comics. I wonder if they'll even let the living legend Stan Lee continue to do cameos in the marvel movies. I hope so. :) I think I’ll just have to log my memories of my favourite comics in the “never to be seen again” catagory.

I mean, its how things work. EA and SquareSoft own most gaming companies and they have stayed relatively good. just cause a bigger house owns marvel, don't mean that all marvel is now subject to having mickey mouse drawn in. ok, so has dc changed since Time Warner (aka Warner brothers) took it over?

One of the most obvious would be to present the various popular Disney characters in various Marvel costumes. Versions of the Avengers, X-Men, FF, etc. (as well as individual characters like Spider-Man and Daredevil -- though probably not Punisher) made up of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and whoever else the company pulls out of the vault. It's a move that could generate millions in action figure and children's comic book sales, not to mention advertising tied to related Disney Channel cartoons.
