No ... you constantly bring up 3rd party. As in just about every topic you're in. It's very annoying.Rated X wrote:Disney has an image to maintain. They would slaughter the franchise.

I take it you've never seen Pirates of the Caribbean, John Carter, or any of the other more adult side of Disney. Ever watch anything on ABC? How about ESPN? Guess what ... there are still cheerleaders on Monday night football! What about the Avengers or the rest of Marvel? Your assumptions only show how little you know about how Disney operates and how they've very elegantly handled other companies that they've purchased over the past decade.Rated X wrote:I got a question.

If they buy Hasbro, of course. Why would it be any different than now?
Okay... this will always boggle the mind to me, but just the fact that it's listed here like some kind of necessity, it begs the question. How, just HOW on Earth is potty humor not only considered "cool" but a vital aspect for something to be good? It isn't anything of the sort. Potty humor being a sign of "maturity", "edginess", and/or "brilliance" is a complete and utter falsehood. It is nothing more than a cheap, uncreative attention grabber of the lowest common denominator, and if it's honestly considered a crucial aspect of G1's "legacy", then I will GLADLY get aboard the Disney bandwagon if it means (however unrealistic the possibility may be) the reduction of that disgraceful characteristic.Rated X wrote:This is my honest opinion:

Dude you are a one track mind with 3rd party and KO.
But now that you brought it up ... how could this possibly be a boost for the 3rd party movement?
We both have one track minds and opposing views on 3rd parties and KO's.
How would this be a boost for 3rd parties you ask ?

Seriously ... some of you need help. I'm not saying this to be antagonistic ... i'm saying it because some of you need serious help judging by some of your reactions to a RUMOUR.
It's not the end of YOUR world if the sale goes through, there's plenty of other things in life to obsess over and waste money on.

As for 3rd party, Disney does have the power. They do have the money. If they really want to push it, they could make China bow down to them and help them smash these 3rd partiers into the ground. And with MakeToys being in Japan and Disney has good relations with the Japanese...well...
I won't count the 3rd parties out just yet, but it would certainly be an uphill battle for them.

Love it or hate it, potty humor signals the interest in an older fanbase, which is good for all of us. That is unless you want kid friendly shows. And what you see in the shows is what you get in the figures.

Disney doesnt have more power than China. Im not even sure our own government does. Thats what were voting for tomorrow. Romney = Outsourcing.

Do we really need to bring the elction into this. No. I think not, as it has no relevance. Agreed?

I concur as long as youre not in the group of people that believe Disney has more power than China.

You do...realize that money is power, right? That corporations run governments more than the people or laws do, right? China THRIVES on our business. If Disney told them to jump, they'd say how high.
And no one brought politics into this until you did. This is not a political discussion. Don't bring it up again.
