Disney buying Marvel...oh, the pain...THE PAIN!!!
I'm kind of concerned that Disney has purchased Marvel. Jeez, will the Mouse House stop buying everything in sight!!!I realize they run some of Marvel's animated series on their networks. But I'm just concerned this will take away Marvel's options to work with the best studio to meet their needs per movie project. I can only hope Marvel will get in there and strongly dictate terms the way John Lasseter and Pixar did when they joined Mickey's Coven. I thought Lasseter did an awesome job at making sure Apple's motion picture company threw out ideas that Disney had of making cheap straight-to-DVD sequels to it's big animation blockbusters (Cinderella III? WTF?!). That 'now this is the way it has to be done' mentality is the way to go!
I cringe a bit at the idea of seeing the Disney logo at the bottom of future Marvel feature films. Although "Iron Man 2" still has a contract with Paramount for release next year. Same holds true for "X-Men Origins: Magneto" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2" which already have deals at Twentieth Century Fox.

Alright, nobody panic!
This is a win-win for both houses, Mouse and Ideas. They will both going to make ridiculous amounts of money! This cash influx will help insulate Marvel from bankruptcy (remember the mid 90's?) and put them on a Warner Brothers level of control and distribution of it's properties.
While distribution rights remain as-is for the time being you know darn well that Disney will, in the long run, gather up all of those rights and bring them under the Disney umbrella. This will further protect the Marvel characters from being totally effed up by studios that don't have a stake in them.
And think about this: Remember how great "The Incredibles" was? And just recently "Up"? Now imagine Pixar turned loose on the Marvel stable of characters
