I don't have a link, but Disney bought Marvel today for four billion dollars. Now the folks who bring us Hannah Montana and Donald Duck, also own Spiderman and The Hulk. I know it's all corporate, but that is still a downer for me.

Too bad they didn't grab Watchmen while they were at it. Goofy would have to be Dr. Manhattan.

I can just imagine Wolverine going toe-to-toe with Mickey Mouse.

As disappointing as those films have been, this can only be an improvement, IMO.

I'm trying to find a positive here. New Marvel Superhero rides at Disneyland? Marvel Land?

One of the major rides at Universal Studios, Orlando, for example, is the Hulk rollercoaster....now...uh...Disney is 10 minutes away...what does Universal do with this huge ride that is themed top to bottom with Hulk stuff?
