Your original post came across as referencing continuities period. You said "better shows and more continuity," not "better shows with more continuity."

In retrospect, you could've simply put down "longer TV shows" or "longer TV continuities." It probably would've saved a whole lot of confusion. >:oP

I have eternally hated Disney franchises and do still today.
Once they messed with Squaresoft, THAT sucked too.
These are the same freaks that STOLE Kimba the White Lion and got caught by the court shredding Winnie the Pooh ownership documents!
And they got away with that and everything else they do... because they're rich as hell.

Goodbye, Transformers... goodbye My Little Pony...

I'm guessing Lego is next now.

To say nothing of all the GLORIOUS 3rd-party content.
Perhaps even this very site as well.

I don't know about the legal stuff with Kimba and Winnie the Pooh. It could be true.

But I fail to see how Disney ruined Muppets. If anything, they're the one last bastion keeping them alive. They did just release a new Muppets movie, which was great. If it wasn't for Disney I think the Muppets would've faded into obscurity by now, Sesame Street notwithstanding.

Marvel has already been discussed to death, not ruined yet is it?

Star Wars...considering Lucas himself ruined it and Disney had no influence over that, I don't think so. It can only get better from here.

Squaresoft? Do you know anything about it? They merged with Enix, then most of the original Final Fantasy creators were either fired or left. Hasn't been the same since, but it had nothing to do with Disney. Just because they have a crossover series doesn't mean Disney controls everything they do.

Seriously, some of the Disney haters need to try thinking with some logic.

Boba Fett was already ruined :-(

First when he appeared as a child

Second when Lucas changed his flipping voice!

As a previous poster mentioned, Star Wars has nowhere to go but up!

There is something good that could come out of this-- the 3rd Parties could start focusing on creating their own original transforming toy lines (which some of them already have started) that are independent of the Transformers brand.

If they can establish themselves as a legitimate form of competition, then Hasbro would be pressed to engineer more and better toys.

Or Disney would be pressed to acquire those companies. So that Fansproject Not-Springer or that TFC Not-Devastator on your shelf? CANON!

not a competitor by any means and its more like a 100,000 people
think of all the people 25-40 that used to watch those shows when they were younger, that they now play

Light-Sound theory?

Point being is that there is a belief that those who narrow their views to the point prejudice is more important than fact is due to a low intelligence. Not saying that she, and others that put hatred before logic and facts are stupid. I am just saying is that they do not really think about the facts when they speak with such hatred. >:oP

Besides, you also forgot to mention that Squaresoft went bankrupt because they put a huge sum of money building Square Pictures and watched their first (and only) movie go bust. Yet, Enix was doing great with their publications and made enough to purchase their former rival, prior to making it be a merger. That, and it is going strong despite having a partnership with Disney.

IF it happens, the answer will be no on account that they do have a long standing history with Disney, and Disney will want to continue that.
