Blood for the Baron!

Re-doing Spiderman so soon when the film from just a few years ago quite clearly explained his origins is taking the piss out of the public, but we'll lap it up anyway.

(SPOILER ALERT) Star Trek, on the downside too many massive coincidences, Old Spock meeting young Kirk then Scotty on the ice-world being the worst. Also, for me the destruction of a heavily populated planet kind of dwarfed what happened to one or two individuals thereafter, but the film seemed to skim over that. Apart from that it was an enjoyable romp and I'm glad they're going for a parallel history rather than trying to squeeze between the gaps in the old canon.

Walt would have had half the super heroes kicked into touch for being Commies.

Super Heroes: "We fight for truth and justice, for all the people, and will not be tempted by material gain."

Walt: "You wot? Someone get McCarthy on the phone right now - tell him I've got a van full of them."

I wonder how much Disney will want to input into things I don't think the "death" of Captain America story would have happened.

Dude, stop being so assy. It's getting on my nerves.

Sundance hasn't done anything to provoke you and yet you've been laying into him every chance you get.

opinions are one thing, but if you're going to slag people off you should at least get the facts right. otehr wise that's how you get batshit insane stuff like 'Cher's playing Cat-Woman in the third Nolan movie' appearing in the papers.

Disney have stressed they're not interested in interfering in Marvel's creativity. They're going to treat them like they treat Pixar: Let them make their stuff and then license it out the wazoo and make a sh*t-load of dosh. Marvel had already said they weren't interested in making R-rated movies when they were announcing their Avengers-related movies last year. Lionsgate has the license for Punisher and if there's ever another Blade movie, that'd probably be done by someone else - possibly Miramax or Dimension Films who are part of Disney's empire without 'tarnishing' the Marvel Studios name with an R-rated movie.

Sundance you took a joke I made seriously it didn't need correcting. That is why I used this I was being sarcastic.

The important distinction is that you were hostile while he was not. That is the line that I do not like being crossed. If it happens again you'll get a forum warning, get three and you are permanently barred. This is not up for debate.

Were is my hostility? I was in conversation with Chopper before being corrected more than once.

Your line "Stop correcting me" is hostile, at the very least rude. This combined with your tantrums on Sunday have been enough to make the situation uncomfortable.

I've asked you to stop doing it, now I've told you to stop doing it. I also said it wasn't up for debate and twice you have argued with me. Drop it.

They've repeatedly said the same in the toy press. Why would they invest all that money to then change it.

exactly, mr tree. Marvel comics make money. Disney has bought a proven revenue stream. they now get to license over 600 characters AND they can make movies based on characters not yet involved in licensing deals, EG Sub-Mariner, Black Panther, Thunderbolts, etc. and they've said when the current deal between Marvel Studios and Paramount lapses (it was something like 8 or 9 films; one of which is Iron Man and another four are IM2, Thor, Cap America and Avengers. Presumably the remaining 3 would be IM3, Thor 2 and a SHIELD movie since SLJ is said to be slated for a SHIELD flick) they would look at whether to continue the deal or to end it and produce further films as Disney/Marvel Studios.

the Paramount/Marvel deal is basically that Marvel make the flicks and Paramount distribute them.

the deal, as they have explained in the press, is pretty much win-win. Marvel gets Disney's chain of shops to sell comics in, Disney's toy deals and Disney's backing financially. Disney gets to make more money off Marvel's characters in new toy, movie and merchandise deals.
