Drew the above earlier today; Micron & Prismacolor. Some quick thoughts on Why we're okay with Disney buying Marvel:

1. Marvel spent half the 90's in and out of bankruptcy. If this means Marvel never finds itself in the position of having to farm out Captain America and FF to fucking Rob Liefeld ever again, I'm all about it.

2. According to a stock holder call, "John Lasseter met with Marvel last week about a possible team-up between Marvel and Pixar and got 'pretty excited, pretty fast.' They say there's definitely an opportunity there." Technically, The Incredibles was the best Fantastic Four movie ever made. Marvel's pre-existing Avengers film slate with Paramount still remains in tact, as do Fox's claim to certain X-Universe properties. That is to say, on the film front, things are more likely to remain the same instead of getting worse.

3. Marvel Universe characters in Kingdom Hearts!

4. Was I the only one kind of bummed that Julie Taymor/Bono Spider-Man musical imploded on itself? Broadway is Disney's bread and butter.

5. Lastly, we can't forget that Disney is largest media conglomerate in the world, a holding company first and foremost, and one of five that pretty much own everything. Shit, under their Touchstone imprint, "Disney" technically just put out District 9, the best sci-fi movie of the decade.

So don't be expecting a New Mutants Disney Channel musical any time soon.
