Disney and Marvel

I don't care about either of them.

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 05:34:22

me neither

Odradek · 2015-01-01 05:38:14

I hope their union dies in a fiery inferno

The Disney and Marvel brands don't mesh well in my mind

There's also the fact that they bought Marvel from a crusty, reclusive, paranoid "financial wizard" who hasn't had his picture taken in 30 years and carries a gun around in public

lee4hmz · 2015-01-01 05:46:45

He sounds like a real prize. :P

Anonus · 2015-01-01 05:53:03

I don't know, something tells me that Marvel is kind of a time bomb for Disney and somewhat toxic to them

There are the iconic characters that are most of the reason they wanted to buy it at all, but still...

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 05:53:10

honestly tho id be super glad if i never heard about either of those brands ever again

Anonus · 2015-01-01 05:54:30

I wouldn't, because Disney is, for better or worse, pivotal to the history of American animation, and they've made some things of which I am fond

Marvel I am less fond of, but I wouldn't want to lose their contributions either

Also, it's still the anniversary where I am, so:

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 05:58:35

the only good disney film is the direct-to-DVD Atlantis sequel

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-01-01 05:59:07

I am honestly getting really tired of hearing about either. I mean, I just don't really care.

^ Of course.

Anonus · 2015-01-01 06:03:19

I fell off the Marvel Train several months ago

Sometimes I regret this, but then there are times when I don't

MetaFour · 2015-01-01 06:13:57

I'm pretty sure I hear about these companies in this forum more often than I hear about them in meatspace.

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 06:16:07

yeeeeep

Anonus · 2015-01-01 06:29:59

I was under the impression that normal people loved the MCU

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 06:31:17

lots of people did watch and enjoy the movies, but that doesnt translate into loving them really

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 06:35:12

they're popcorn action flicks that you see once, think "gee that's nifty" and you get on with your day, they aren't the sort of things that sink in and bring greater insight into your own being or anything like that

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 06:37:01

not to denigrate nifty things of course, nifty things are nifty and i am fond of many of them

Obā-san · 2015-01-01 06:43:38

like me and my folks watched The Avengers over supper, we had fun, poked some fun, and walked away content.

Imipolex G · 2015-01-01 06:43:59

why did I make this thread

why

eriophora zia · 2015-01-01 06:44:31

I feel like people enjoy them, certainly. They're all pretty fun movies with some well done action.

I don't think the average person really thinks much about them outside of when a new one is announced, though.

new years drunkeness?

Anonus · 2015-01-01 06:44:51

because cats always land on their feet

Imipolex G · 2015-01-01 06:55:53

I am not drunk and never have been.

Actually it was just Anonus-bait.

maybe my perception is skewed

My mother really likes Thor and there's also the shows on ABC to keep the MCU even more present in the public mind

Also I read a lot of Hollywood trade stuff that treats Marvel as if it is the absolute best thing there is because it makes a lot of money for Disney
