This is only for the entertainment section of Marvel not the comics I believe. So that means they own the video games and movies I think.
And yeah it is posted in the entertainment board.

I don't know about everyone else. But I'd love to see Disney/Pixar do an animated Marvel movie. Just using main characters. I think they could make me love comic cartoons again. Just leave the movies and comics alone.

And yeah it is posted in the entertainment board. no, Disney bought Marvel, the entire company. they own it now. i doubt they'll change anything with the comics though. they will sit back and collect money and use the licensing agreements with Hasbro & Activision to also produce Disney related merchandise. its like how Warner Bros. owns DC. they dont mess with the comics and leave that alone as it makes the least amount of money and costs the least amount of money to keep around. its small, steady profit. the movies is really where the money is. we can also expect some new rides at one of the Disney Parks too. |

Disney did not buy marvel yet. They announced their intent to purchase, but need shareholder approval as well as being cleared by the government of any anti-trust monopoly issues. I'm sure it will go through, but it hasn't happened yet. I got the update firsthand from a friend who works at the disney offices in Burbank, Ca. |

I got the update firsthand from a friend who works at the disney offices in Burbank, Ca. actually Disney themselves announced that they have acquired Marvel. its a done deal. all thats left is the paperwork. watch the video on youtube where the word acquired is used, not intent to purchase. |

I work with disney on a daily basis, I speak with my find daily over there. the deal is not yet completed. if you want to read all the legal hubub, check out the official press release at either site (disney or marvel) or here: enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=15744this will reaffirm that the deal is not done YET. Not saying it won't go through, but it has not YET. |

Oh well then I guess its kinda a good thing Disney bought Marvel because this means they have more money to do more things. And maybe a new animated show on the disney channel or something. As long as they don't f*ck with the comics I don't mind the deal. |
