Disneyfied

Today we look at the recently announced Disney/Marvel merger and what it really means. The title link helped to formulate some of the thoughts shared here. When I first heard about it my only thought was uncertainty. I wasn't sure what to think about a seemingly odd merger. What would it mean for the Marvel characters we have grown to love? Will Disney take over and turn our heroes into a watered-down version of their former selves? After reading more about the possibilities here I realized that this doesn't have to be the nightmare scenario some may be conjuring in their heads right now. It could be that Daddy Disney lets Marvel do its own thing while offering support where needed. This would mean the characters would be unchanged and possibly find a new playground to conquer. Plus Disney gets exposure of its own to the faithful followers of the Marvel brigade. Everybody wins; everybody is happy.

And they all lived happily ever after.
