Dear Disney.
I apologize for all the crap I've spewed on you for sucking in comparison to Squaresoft, being sexist pigs with no imagination, being hopeless at making games and being solely focused on making money rather than produce good stories, and a number of other failures.
In respect of the chokehold you now have on my childhood idols and standards of heroism, I will not make violent, vulgar, exaggerated threats, nor ironic, bitter and bitchy jokes. I lay down my sword and my spear at your feet and I kneel in horror at the damage you could do to my fragile inner child. I will beg. That you in aquiring Marvel, and all that it stands for, do not make it into the regular mainstream, mindless, kiddy crap you usually produce in the name of income. That you do not stand in the way of what could be great, violent, gory movies of characters that are indeed great, violent and gory. That you do not reduce such imminent figures as Thor or Wolverine or Deadpool to the shallow pastell-colored idiots that frequent your productions.
I beg of those at Marvel to not give in to such attempts at brainwashing, should this my humble request be denied.
Together with the giants of Marvel we are standing at the threshold to a dawning new age, and it is you, Disney, who will decide whether it will be an age of conquest and glory or a heart-tearing, pathetic disaster.
I await your answer with greatest humility.

I wonder what superpower Mickey Mouse will get when he joins X-Men.
(X-mice?) ;)
"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," said Ike Perlmutter, Marvel's Chief Executive Officer.
Actually, Mr Perlmutter..
No. No it isn't.
This is interesting. Marvel have always been one of the bastions of comics for grown-up people; if Disney kiddifies them, I can't think of any sensible major company that caters to adult consumers.
Let's hope they don't fuck it up - but I'm sad to say, I kind of expect them to do.
Scary
