disney proves yet again that they are out of ideas, and have to take them from other people...
I hope they lay off marvel's more realistic characters, and don't disney-fy them. OR the movies with them for that matter.

Isn't Disney some huge media company? Beuna Vista or Viacom or some shit?

Just sayin cause DC was brought out by Time Warner aaaaaages ago, and not much has changed on DC side.

Just glad I am not a Marvel fanboy :P

Time Warner is much different from disney. Think about the Warner Bros movies. Then think about Disney movies. nuff said.

The only bright side I can possibly see from this is that Disney bought the rights to most of the Marvel cartoon series that were made in the 90s. Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four, etc and this could see their DVD release accelerated. Most of the X-Men series was released around the time Wolverine debuted in theaters, but the Spider-Man series was awesome and I'd like to see that on DVD.
