#63.

That’s all well and good if all you see of Marvel is as a film/cartoon generating empire, but to the vast majority of others it is a print publication empire with a history of art and storytelling that it is feared won’t easily survive under the Disney imprimatur. Try to imagine WOLVERINE as a DISNEY GOLD KEY comic.

OK, there seems a lot of negative people out there, but for those realists that are not so pesemistic, Disney buying Marvel is great news for fans.
In this economic climate film studios are struggling too.
Look at the difficulties Marvel Studio has had with raising the money for Iron Man 2, or even to pay the stars.
Consolidating like this, gives Marvel a new, much larger pot of money to play with.
As for Avatar, I think the trailer looks fantastic, not giving too much away.
Trust Cameroon to give you a fantastic story.
As for 2012, I want to see Emerich go back to what he’s proven to be good at – making fantastic end – of – the world stuff, and I for one can’t wait to see this at the cinema.
Come on guys, there are lots of positives in this article, give these movies a break!

Hitler was an evil maniac, but just this once, I agree with him.

I hope Disney doesn’t mess around too much with Marvel, like in this funny parody of the situation.

#54 Yup, I could see Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louey making a cameo in a Howard the Duck reboot.

I’d watch Megan Fox if she was reciting Green Eggs and Ham…or doing a two hour monologue…she is so f-ing HOT!!!

There’s very few hotter.

So, that’s um…like all that matters. Then again, what do I know I’m a cosmic horndog.

#40– never underestimate the overlords at Disney…if this deal goes thru you have no idea what the longterm ramifications might be…with how powerful Disney is becoming it might try to buy CBS Corporation and Viacom and force Warner thru overwhelming force to give up DC…

I never thought the howard the duck movie was That bad-it was pretty otiginal and funny-howards personality was watered down but almost everything else while not perfect was above average–although i always thought who framed roger rabbit was the howard movie that never got made haha-

#55. “So do you think we’ll see Wolverine walking around with Chip n’ Dale…” – Khan was framed

For years he’s been walking around with a Chip on his shoulder…so why not a Dale? ;-)

I’d love to see a really good Catwoman story, as opposed to the lame ones we’ve been given so far. But that would require a decent actress to play her, which is not Meagan Fox…she sucks the life out of every scene she’s in. Why couldn’t Starscream step on that bimbo!!

So do you think we’ll see Wolverine walking around with Chip n’ Dale & that candle stick guy from Beauty & the Beast one day?
