Marvel meet Mickey-Man!

Marvel-DisneyThe geek in me cries foul! These two very different brands have somehow decided that it would benefit them to join. One has a history of princess, love and talking animals, the other has a history of mutants, aliens and violence.

While it might seem like a very lucrative and financially savvy decision to both parties involved, to me it seems like creativity, imagination and independence have taken a big step back.

Marvel had finally developed their own studio, free to bring their original characters to life as only they could. Now, they will be a new line of bureaucracy, ideas and procedures, which they’ll need to abide by in other to deliver a “successful product”.

Hopefully, Marvel will have free-will to continue creating comic books, movies, merchandize without too much interference or meddling from Disney, but one can’t help to cringe at the idea that one day soon we’ll see a Disney vs. Marvel game, or, X-men origins: Cyclops, the early years when he worked at Disneyland.
