I can’t front when I tell you how sad I was that Marvel Entertainment was being acquired by the Disney Corporation. I felt like Marvel had just turned a corner with their motion pictures production company and I was very hopeful that I would see more media that lent itself to the renegade storytelling capacity which their comicbooks had possessed for decades.
The Iron Man movie and the latest Hulk feature film were the proof positive as well as Marvel’s animation department which turned out some great features earlier this year. That Hugh Jagoff Wolverine P.O.S. (piece-o-shit) wasn’t totally Marvel’s fault because their studio didn’t have final say. Actually, Wolverine was the kind of film I could imagine coming from the Disney camp.
The final details for the acquisition stil haven’t been made public but the language that has been bandied about so far is foreboding of what you can think a multinational corporation does when they takeover a property. The deals that Marvel has made with other movie studios can’t be altered. Yet. But don’t think that Disney’s lawyers won’t be hands-on for everything.
You can rest assured that Balactus will never see the light of day again. Disney lawyers are infamously venomous in protecting the iconography they own. They have no reservations about taking candy from babies or slapping women on a Sunday. With almost 4 billion dollars on the line they are going to be extra aggressive in making sure they get their money’s worth.
Maybe I’m just a horrible cynic though? Maybe this was the deal that STAN LEE always wanted in the first place? To have his body cryogenically frozen in the same icebox as racist ass WALT DISNEY. Too bad that JACK KIRBY went to the blue side of the moon several years ago. This pic of STAN LEE makes me think of HUGH HEFNER [ll]. Now I wonder when Disney will purchase Playboy?
