So far the biggest news that I heard today is the
Disney is going to buy
Marvel Comics in a deal that will cost $4 Billion. Shock! Awe!
I'm not sure if this going to be good or not. I should have seen it coming considering that almost every single animated series based

on Marvel Characters can now be seen on
Disney XD (
Toon Disney). Its been said that Disney wants to maximize its appeal to the 18-35 year-old male demographic. This should do it. I'm not concerned that Disney will "water-down" Marvel. It's important to remember that Disney owns Pixar,
ABC, and
Miramax and they managed to not mess them up. This could turn out to be good. Of course it also means that Disney will be in even more direct competition with
Time-Warner that owns
DC Comics.
Of course if the government says "no" this won't happen. I think that if such a merger will cause the lost of single job it should not go through.

This one was quite a shocker for me. I didn't see Disney buying Marvel anytime soon. I agree with you though. Given the high quality of movies still being churned out by Pixar, I think they'll do a good job with Marvel. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
