they won't control it, they will have ownership, but marvel will be a company under disney,
not a disney product, that probably explains it best.
Marvel will still be marvel, but disney will pay the bills.
this may be just a move to expand disney's brand power, as they can make money and licensing off big name marvel movies and comic/toy sales.
they also gain toybiz (aka marvel toys) from this, so they could in theory make their own toys, or use the marvel deal to expand to disney licensing deals with hasbro.
plus marvel still has prior contracts, and unless they have provisions that say that if they get bought the owners can end it, the contracts should stay intact (that means no spiderman roller coaster at disneyland just yet, since universal studios themepark may have those roller rights)

Also if it is the comics, then we're ****! there will be cutesy cutesy Disney "non violent/non Sexual" comics. ugh!

As it currently stands you're 100% right.

Will activison, sega, thq and all the deals with the other companies who make the marvel based games like marvel ultimate alliance, now have there games published under the disney interactive brand unstead of there own company names.

Transfaner wrote:Yeah, it wouldn't make any sense for disney to "kidify" marvel. Disney owns MGM (MEtro-Goldwyn-Mayer) and lots of not so family oriented movies come from it.
The only major thing I forsee, are the rides at Universal. Walt Disney himself had apersonal beef with them Universal studios, they would not sell him back the rights to his original character, predating even Mickey the Mouse, Oswald the Rabbit until just a few years ago. Besides that, it just doesn't make business sense to let your biggest compitetor use your product, even if you do make money from the royalties. Although I also don't forsee any Marvel rides comign into Disney.

Exactly! Disney isn't a one trick pony. It's a massive company with its hands in many areas of business. Their general perception as a strictly child friendly animation/toy company works to their benefit for parental consumers as well as to their detriment at times, as shown in the reactions from people who think that all of a sudden that Marvel comic properties will all of a sudden become kid friendly comics due to Disney ownership.
They bought all of Marvel, but Disney announced they won't interfere with Marvel.
