Disney is to buy Marvel Entertainment

Some people in this thread really show a lack of understanding for the film industry.

Why on earth would Marvel be ruined because its been bought by Disney? If anything the films will be far better. Disney have pretty much unlimited funRAB to play with in terms of film making.

Nothing will change apart from Disney getting the rewarRAB from the films and being able to spend more money on them.

Pixar is disney right? And look how amazing those films have all been.

Huge overeaction.
 
While I do agree with you, it's not always the case.

Disney could easily buy up any number of companies just to buy the characters and other IP, send Marvel into the ground and then sell it all off in a few years for a profit. Companies do this, it's not that unusual.

It all depenRAB on the reason behind the purchase.
 
My first thought i admit was "oh no". Having read through the thread though i'll just wait and see what happens i think.

I also thought of the Hulk and Spiderman rides along with Doctor Doom's fearfall at Universal Orlando. The Hulk and Doctor Doom rides could easily be re-branded. It wouldn't be possible to re-brand the Spiderman ride without starting again from scratch.
 
While that may not be unusual for other companies, Disney is not in the business of doing that.

They've bought the franchise to help bolster their portfolio of characters, and the teens (and older) demographic is something that they haven't been able to crack. So they're not likely to ditch it any time soon, nor risk what it has going for it by meddling.


I agree, the first two rides you mentioned have little theming and are primarily down to names.

Spiderman is a little more complex, but it won't be that difficult to have another set of characters in the ride.

That is if Disney were to play hard ball and want Universal to remove them when the contract expires (which is probably a way off). They could very well negotiate a contract extension and just sit back and let the money roll in from their rivals.

Its a genius move.
