It really scares me that the comic books i grew up reading are now being made by a company whose founder was a nazi sympathizer and is currently frozen, awaiting reanimation.

Will they have a negative effect on the characters i grew up reading, have tattoos of, and taught me more about life then my father?


No marvel won't change that much, disney has spent way too much money to do anything that would adversely affect the company they have just bought. I hope


But now i have to stop and think, Do i want to give more money to the mouse every month?

Gotta admit the man makes for some convincing tirades. He has my support on this issue

I think Disney will leave Marvel to do its own thing. If it ain't broke, don't screw with it. They probably bought Marvel because they recognised the pull power of its properties.

This could have some positive effects. Since Marvel have set up their own company for making films based on their properties, it could mean that there would be less chance of a risk, since Disney could aid in distribution, marketing, etc.

Meh, that's not much worse than the fact that the alt modes for G1 Jazz, Cliffjumper and Bumblebee (plus others) were based on vehicles manufactured by Porsche/Volkswagen, and we all know about their relationship with the Führer.

But if the Avengers start walking with a goose-step we'll know why!


Ut-oh, spaghetti-os! Animated Blitzwing forgot about Optimus Prime's heritage!

and is currently frozen, awaiting reanimation.

That's an urban myth according to wikipedia (and as Revenge of the Fallen has taught us, "the internet is pure truth." )

"A long-standing but false urban legend maintains that Disney was cryogenically frozen, and his frozen corpse was stored underneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. The first known instance of cryogenic freezing of a corpse occurred a month later, in January 1967." (Source)

I always found it ironic that the car everybody adores as cute and friendly, The Volkzwagen Beetle, is something that was pretty much made by Hitler:

In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a "Volks-Wagen" . The name means "people's car" in German, in which it is pronounced [ˈfolksvɑːgən]). He required a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings scheme at 990 Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle (an average income being around 32RM a week).
