Say whaaaaat?
I read it earlier (from a friend on facebook), and then heard it from numerous sources (other friends on facebook), and then I googled it, and it seems like it's true. $4 billion, too!
Dayum.

Tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this is very, very wrong...?
Any of you guys out there Disney or Marvel fans? Personally, I'm both...but as much as I like them, I don't see how this can benefit either of the companies. They're just so...different.
I kind of had the same feelings when Disney acquired the Muppet franchise a few years back, but I think there are actually similarities between the two companies, although not much Muppet stuff has come out in the past few years, even though it's been promised. Most of it dies in developing stages, since Disney does not really know what to do with it.
But then again, the Marvel has had more recent things in the past years than the Muppets. Countless movies, whether they did good or bad, drew in many more fans, and I'm sure got at least some of those people interested in the comics. I am just nervous they will do the same thing they did with the Muppet franchise...let it sit around as the hype of them buying it dies down.
I guess all there is left to do is wait...and see.
