Disney Buying Marvel Entertainment for $4 Billion

That's not true because the company's name isn't Obama.

hahahahahaha.....

"My pixie sense is bubbling."

Sold out?

They didn't sell out. They sold up.

No...they sold out. Money isn't the key to everything J Jammer. I know you can't wait until Disney owns the world, but that's a nightmare scenario for many of us.

Oh it isn't?

Is that why you work for free?

oh wow...

stop....stop....stop....

DC will be left in the dust.

Yeah, Tinkerbell fairy dust. Ah-Choo!

Nice one. This thread keeps me laughing so hard.

Now all DC needs and Faith and Trust.....then they'll actually get off the ground.

Both better than Marvel.

nah. Marvel has ALL SORTS of excellence in its history. Kirby. Ditko. Neil Adams. Arthur Adams. Steranko.B.W. Smith. Buscema brothers (Sal Inking John being best.) Gene Colan foreshadowing motion picture "framework" long before "The Watchmen". And of course Adi Granov!

Neither is better than Marvel.

DC is great...but it can't seem to get it's movies in order. It barely got Batman right....for the second time.

I cannot. . . will never, deny Marvels rich and glorious history. Phoenix Saga, Frank Millers DareDevil, Todd's spidey.

But if we are talking about the art of comic books, as a whole, not just the drawings. DC's Vertigo has much more compelling and relevant stories, although I haven't picked up a marvel book since TPB 1 of New X-men.

Am I really missing anything?

Marvel's stories parallel the political realm of the United States.....and they create said stories 2 years in advance.

Warner Bros. already owns nearly everything DC.

Well he is returning after two years.

I hope!

Do you know how much of your money supports serial killers, rapist and pedophiles?

That is why I avoid Disney and Fox.

You don't avoid the others....which have the same.

What others? You are simply making vague statements and assuming I support those things.

so is your idea of where your money goes. You don't know where it goes. It eventually does end up (no matter where you spend it) supporting Fox and Disney. Soon they'll be but a few degrees of separation, then what? You'll stay in your house?

If Disney, somehow, owned a mortgage company and that was your home's mortgage company...would you just move because you couldn't bare to have your money going to them?

Haha you certainly are not thinking logically. When my money leaves my hands, it is no longer my money. If someone after me uses his or her money to pay Disney, I cannot help that because it is no longer my money.

Again, you have not given any examples, but nice try trying to troll.

You already give your money to them from your own hand.

You've done it before.

Nice try. Next time don't lie.

You should try logic and common sense, they are very useful tools in life.

If you've used them then you wouldn't have posted what you did.

They change stories so drastically.....

Better not see the new Tim Burton movie, then.

well they made it more modern the only beef about the movie was he ruined a nice car in his test run with the suit in the movie.

tear tear....

I was talking about the original animated movie they did. It wasn't horrible but I think they could have done better.

As for Iron Man, from how I remember him in the comic he didn't grow a conscious so quickly, they could have done a few movies on that alone. Oh and the drug abuse lets not forget the drug abuse. It made him more approachable, that's the reason I like him he wasn't like the other heroes, he was out for him self not some high-mined goody goody.

He wasn't made into a goody goody and the second one is going to touch on his alcohol problem. First of all I'm glad they didn't go as slow as the comics. It's unnecessary to take forever to get to where he became the hero.

And he didn't take drugs he only drank a lot.

It's people like you that ruin the movies for everyone else. So negative and unrelenting on what can and cannot be changed to keep the content good. A movie is not a book or a comic book. I hope you know that.

First off I used drug abuse as an umbrella term. sorry for not being more clear.

Secondly. I know how to edit just fine. I did if for a living for a while.

Also,we all knew it wasn't going to be just one movie, they could have been truer to the character and still made it fit a move. Besides its not like Iron Man is like the Watchmen where it only appealed to a slim audiences in the first place, It could have done just as well as if it were truer to the character (sorry was paying attention).

And how do I ruin a movie? Have you been at one with me personally? I sit quietly and enjoy what I can and let others do the same. That doesn't stop me from noting in my mind what I would like to have seen done, and I only share those thoughts when asked. So yeah I can see how I ruin a movie, my bad.

Finally, its people like you sir who need to grow up and realize not every one is going to agree with you, and not to attack them for it. You see your tying to paint me as an unreasonable fanboy. I'm not saying the movie was bad, I'm saying it could have been better in my opinion, and last time I checked I'm allowed to have one.

P.S. Whats wrong with being critical? If you are articulate and make valid points you might even get someone into a new media that they would normally not have tried. I know when some friends of mine went with me to see Ink Heart I explained so key deference and they both read the books.

The movie will NEVER be the book because that's why it's the movie.

There will be differences. Thinking otherwise is a bad idea.

Critical with reason. Your critical thinking on Iron Man is nitpicking. It's not necessary to have it become snail mode just so you feel that he's less like Batman or Superman or the X-Men. It was quite apparent he was different based on every single scene prior to the explosion and even after. He's cocky, self-centered and certainly thinks his way is the best way....just like the comic book.

Asking for a direct duplication of what you read in that dusty magazine is not reasonable.

Be critical...and I'll be critical as well of someones lack of understating on how a movie is different than a book.

X-Men was something to complain about. But people chose to complain about the wrong things....who played Storm instead of how Storm was written into the movie. They also complained about the costumes instead of how much unnecessary screen time Wolverine got in a movie about a TEAM.

It would seem you wouldn't be pleased with the movie no matter what they had done with Iron Man and that is why it's a problem to begin with.

Like I said I don't think it's a bad movie. You see you were so edger not to think about someone's opinion you just shot back. The movie was good but look at Batman or the Watchmen it could have been better. Both changed things in the movies and were great. In fact I like the ending to the Watchmen movie better than the comic. Those movies are great because they understand the importance of the characters themselves and not necessarily everything else in the comics. that's all I wish was a little better.

Harry Potter for example. I didn't like the books they were like every other coming of age story. but the movies are great even though the leave quite a lot out because they are so true to the characters. Or even Lord of the Rings. I didn't expect it to be the books I know it wasn't going to happen and I didn't want it to. I just wanted to get the same connection to the characters as I did in the books. To me the characters in Iron Man all felt shallow I think that they could have been better.

Also Because you don't read before you post it seems. I am an editor. I've done video and video game editing, I even edit game design documents. One of the first things I learned form my teachers is how they are all different. How can I edit adds, videos, or a game if I don't understand how they are different?

I'm done now. Thank you for playing, hope you learn to listen to people, and not be so stuck on your self.

I listened...but none of that backs you.

It's all fluff.

Iron Man is Iron Man in that movie. There is no hollow.

You expected too much. Maybe you should have went in like you did with the Watchmen and not expect so much.

PLUS...there are a ton of people that would disagree and say the Watchmen was a terrible movie. What am I suppose to do take their word for it because they said so and not challenge them? Don't worry I have. I think the Watchmen was a good movie.

I think The Dark Knight was good.

I just think Iron Man was tons better. I can watch that again. I could not watch The Dark Knight or The Watchmen again. They were good once....and that would be it. They took themselves far too serious and it was boring at times.

In the business world if one sucks (other than in porn) you are going to fail.

Neither have failed therefore your assessment is bad.

Lol, Jay.

aside of a poor attempt at wit, you are wrong.

Iron Man was everything it should have been and more.

We can't all be Hollywood writers.

I didn't see Ironman.

They were not crap. They were just not as good as they could have been.

Iron Man was proof that Marvel knew what it could do with its own characters. With the great ending with Nick Fury to hint at an Avengers movie....they knew how to surprise and excite.

Now under the massive umbrella of Disney and it's great creative skills as well as world knowledge in film, Marvel will grow and be as Superheroic as it was always meant to be.

I have to agree with you there, But it just goes to show, things could always be worse!

Knowledge of films? You DO work for Disney!

Do you work for Disney or something? PR person I suppose.

I wish.

I don't. I'm just using my brain and history of the company to dictate how incredibly wrong everyone is. People often complain about fearmongoling, but apparently it's only ok as long as they are the ones causing it.
