    Lol @ that comic. Nah, but, I think it'll be fine, they will still let Marvel be Marvel. Maybe we'll see Disney vs. Capcom, :p

    This means they have more money to work with so those movies that need to come out before The Avengers will just come out faster :)

    yeah but my main concern is the rides at Islands of Adventure... Won't Disney pull those out?

    Unless there's some kind of renewal for licensing, then Disney probably can't, even if they wanted to. I'd doubt the license needs to be renewed any time soon if there is some kind of renewal--if you're building a permanent ride then you're not going to accept a contract that can be null and void at any time. You're going to want something that's going to last for many many years.

    Also, remember, MARVEL STILL EXISTS so any contracts they made should all still be legal and binding. It's not like they were eliminated and there is only Disney and no more Marvel. They're just under the Disney umbrella now.

    While it does sound like a bad idea at first if you do some research youll find that disney probably owns more of the things you love than you know, they own many other film and companies like it and they make very mature content, so im hoping things wont change to much but i guesses we will have to wait and see on this one!
