If you're talking about Disney characters being mixed with others...

No, this is going to fail really hard.

I have had some time to think about Disney buying Marvel Comics.
If a girl can have breakfast with Snow White, and this encourages them to read then a boy who has breakfast with Spiderman might have the same effect.
This nation is so fr behind in various areas, and reading is one of them. I would perfer children read comics then read other garbage.

Ive never really read Marvel comics (I was more a fan of French comics) but the animated series were some of my favorite TV shows growing up. I just hope that Disney doesn't ruin all those characters. The Punisher is not for kids but there is no way that Disney would put their brand on movies like the last 2 punisher movies. I just hope that will be one of the only changes.

What is even worse is that Spidie might get lucky with Minnie.

Aww... think about how cute it will be! The Marvel characters will be able to summon little fuzzy animals by singing beautiful songs to attack the bad guys... with kisses!

My concern is not with Disney per se, but rather with the increasing concentration of creation and distribution of media into an ever smaller number of hands.

Is this why Disney is making all comic book hero movies now?
