Disney owns Marvel, and ordering new t shirts.
So I was thinking about the fact that Disney just bought Marvel Comics lock, stock, and barrel and how much that bodes ill for the future of comic books and movies. Disney does not hesitate to change things to suite their marketing needs (hell, they forced the NHL to create a hockey team with a lame name based on a bad series of movies starring Emelio Estevez) and has a way of making everything “kid friendly” (i.e. lame). I predict Wolverine being a whole lot less likely to kill someone, or Punisher taking a more conciliatory approach to criminals. Wonder what it will do to all the Marvel t-shirts we carry?
I think what bugs me is I can’t seem to get away from Disney. I grew up in Orange County (or, as I like to think of it, Stucco Hell) and lived near Disneyland. Most of my friends worked at Disneyland at one point or another and it blew. I fell in love with Pixar movies and then Disney bought them out. Every time I turn around they are infiltrating the things I like.
