It's a Small Multiverse After All

And Disney just acquired Marvel Entertainment for a tidy $4 billion dollars.

Fucking great! Do I have a Little Mermaid/X-Men crossover to look forward to? Will Captain America replace his winged hood for one with mouse ears?

Seriously though, do I have the neutering of mature storylines in Marvel Comics to look forward to?

Interesting. How will this affect Universal Studios Hollywood & Orlando where the Marvel characters have been incorporated as their own "Island of Adventure?"

Wolverine will now be played by The Rock.

Just take any Marvel title and stick "the Musical" at the end, like they've already done with Spider-Man.

I don't think so. Remember, Disney owns Miramax which has put out some of the most bloody and violent films in the history of Holywood (thank you Quentin).

someone else on my friends list mentioned this and addressed this concern:

"I'm just going to mention right now that, though it might be hard for people to grasp, Disney owned Touchstone - which made the film Down and Out in Beverly Hills, and Miramax. Miramax, which made Reservoir Dogs, The Crow, Pulp Fiction, and Trainspotting. Everyone who thinks that Disney is going to swoop in and make sure Wolverine doesn't drink anymore is doing that really tired knee-jerk fanboy chicken little thing, and it's old. You have no idea what you're talking about."
