COMM 229: Disney buys Marvel

I know this happened a while ago, but I have always wanted to get my two cents into this subject and maybe let some readers indulge themselves into this crazy phenomenon. First off, yes, it is true that Disney has bought Marvel. When I first read about this I was shocked, nonetheless. I couldn't believe my eyes; Disney, the company that is responsible for Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck.....bought Marvel, the company responsible for Spiderman, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. How do these things mesh together? What is going to happen to Universal Studios in Orlando? That is a fantastic amusement park, and if they take away those rides, I'm going to be devastated. They have one of my favorite roller-coasters The Incredible Hulk, and they have the Spiderman ride, which is also an amazing amount of fun. There is a lot of things that are in question regarding Disney's recent mega transaction. Disney has said that the movies that are already in production will stay with those studios but in a few years, Disney will be the sole distributor. Oh boy...are we going to see Mickey Mouse in the next Spiderman movie? Yikes! And, what does this do for the industries and the media outlets? This has a huge impact on the movie studios. Disney already owns a lot of things such as, ABC, ESPN, Miramax, Touchstone etc. It's just crazy to to think that the "house of mouse" now owns a comic book conglomerate. What is the world coming to?
