Super Grover Is Suddenly Vastly Out Of His League

Disney purchases Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion in cash and stock.

FTA: It said the boards of Disney and Marvel have both approved the transaction, but it requires an antitrust review and the approval of Marvel shareholders.

This should be good.

*blink* WHOA.

My sentiments exactly.

We'll see how it does against the antitrust review and the Marvel shareholders - the latter might be sniffy about using their brand value to uphold an increasingly decrepit Mouse.

That is... I don't think I have words pther than the strange cackle I just made.

[redstapler]

Yeah, I really can't wait to see how this plays out.

Good God :/

I'm just boggling.

Oh god. The Disneyfication of all things Marvel-ous begins. I can see it now:

The Batman Power Hour, starring the Caped Crusader and the Forest Creatures!! With extra KAPOW! THUMPER! and BAMBI! It's part of this fun-filled Saturday morning, kiddies!

Frank Miller and all those who created the Dark Knight will enter into a giant mutual suicide pact just so they can spin in their graves over this.
On the upside, if we attach their corpses to axles we should be able to power a medium-sized city.

Of course, it immediately occurred to me after hitting "post comment" that the Dark Knight is a DC property, not Marvel. Meh. The same thing applies, just substitute a different character.

Must remember not to talk to the Internets without morning caffeine.

Miller's run on Daredevil is similarly lauded, and your play stands as called. ;)
