Well, supposedly those studios with rights to produce certain titles (like Iron Man, Spider Man, X-Men, etc,) will keep those rights. Hopefully, they will be hands off regarding most of the comics

But I do find it mildly disturbing. Will Marvel release a bunch of Disney related comics?

Why does everybody seem to think this will mean the Disneyfication of Marvel? Disney is a huge company with lots of holdings. Disney owns Miramax Films. Remember that Kevin Smith movie "Dogma" that was boycotted by the Catholic church for being evil and even had the character Moobie who was lampooning Mickey Mouse? Yep, a Miramax film, aka, Disney. Disney also owns the distribution rights for Studio Ghibli films and other than handling the dubs, don't change anything. So why would they change Marvel? Disney acquired Marvel because it makes money and changing it wouldn't make money.

I'm just wondering if Marvel Studios will be allowed to continue as is and if there will be a limit to the number of Marvel-based movies put out. Before, Marvel would license its properties to several different studios and you would have different films come out in the span of several months. DC, being owned by Time/Warner, cannot do that.

From what I've read, any existing contracts are still valid, such as Spiderman 4 which will be produced by Sony, and rides and attractions at Universal Studios. Once the licenses expire, then contracts will be up for renegotiation. My guess is Disney will keep more stuff in house after that but Marvel does have it's own movie production company now so that entity will probably handle the direction of most of the movies. It'll be interesting to see what happens but I think this acquisition is more in line of Marvel helping Disney than Disney fucking Marvel.

Pretty much that's my only concern about this - especially with Marvel's ambitious projects lined up from their own movie company.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
