It’s been a few days since the new broke and I’m still not sure what to think about the news that Disney has purchased Marvel Comics Ent. My first reaction was that this was horrible news. Now I’m leaning more towards quiet skepticism that anything good can come of this. Disney has never come in and taken over something without causing harm with the exception of Pixar. When they took over ABC the network was the leader in sports entertainment and they killed it. Disney is the company that sued a daycare because they painted a giant mural of cartoon characters. I can only hope Disney doesn’t decide to force Marvel to become more family friendly. I can only pray they don’t decide the cut out the comic book department all together because they aren’t profitable enough. And before you say that isn’t possible because Marvel is nothing without their comics, Disney doesn’t want comics. Disney wants the 5,000 character library that Marvel created to make money, I mean movies. Spider-man, X-men, Wolverine, Iron Man and Blade are but a few of the gold mines that Disney wants to plunder. Let’s just hope they do it the smart way and don’t run them into the ground.
