...Now what? First of all, probably this. Secondly... well, what do you think this will affect down the line? This is in General Chat because it's not inherently videogame-related, though it's to be expected that discussion will probably end up focusing on that.

I demand that this become a video game, ASAP. What could possibly be better than busting into a robbery-in-progress, looking the thief dead in the eye, raising your arm menacingly, then slappin' him across the face while exclaiming, "I'm Rick James, *****!"?

Being the bit--I mean, thief, getting slapped in the face by such an awesome phenomenon?

Also, we discussed this in the chatroom last night (which didn't end well due to difference in opinion); someone pointed out that it'd be cool to see a Disney vs. Capcom.

Not regurgitating old Dave Chappelle jokes, for one.

Weegee, had you been saving that joke since 2001, waiting for a vaguely comics-related topic to use it in?

Nah. I just found that image in the article and couldn't resist.

There isn't much you can resist, is there?

I don't mind, as long as there is a game produced where I can use Wolverine (or any of the other Marvel characters) to beat up Hanna Montana.

Because that'd be awesome.

Outside of videogames, I think all this will really amount to is more Disney product placement in Marvel movies and vice-versa. However, we can always hope for a Spider-Man Disneyland ride!

On that note, what's to become of those competing theme parks (Universal? I heard their contract with Marvel expired a while back, though...) with Marvel characters?

Aw crap. Marvel is now owned by Disney.

This would've been great if Joe Quesada wasn't just promoted to Chief of Animated Entertainment at Marvel.

Hopefully, Disney prevents him from turning some of those shows currently in production into trash like he's done to the whole of Marvel's print department.

Also, if it finally delivers that X-Men/Power Rangers crossover comic that was promised way back in the early 90s, I'm up for it.

1. I'm glad there are other Quesada haters
2. I would probably watch a Mickey Mouse Fantastic Four if they did it like that, because that looks pretty rad. :|

Weegee · « **Reply #12 on:** September 04, 2009, 05:55:43 PM »

Sadly, any Disney-produced Marvel media would probably be the other way around.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2009, 06:22:02 PM »

Hahahaha. Also, I like how the person claims it's from an old VHS when it was just created for like Newgrounds earlier this year.

Glorb · « **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2009, 06:41:14 PM »

How did I know that was going to be the video?

Besides, Watchmen is from DC you NUB
