    Don't know how I feel about this news. It has all kinds of potential and all kinds of crazy disaster. But might it make a SH Movie closer to reality? Or would Disney's "family friendly" reputation bode ill for a female character who rips out of her clothes? … Yeah, yeah I know the Hulk does this and nobody has a problem. But in America if it moves and its female then it's about the sex.

    Any thoughts?

    It shouldn't have too much of an effect on movie content, most of the Marvel films are 'Disney friendly' to coin a term.  Wolverine's actions might get a review (for the worst, I'm afraid) but otherwise there shouldn't be anything too radical.

    I worry that the comics may eventually fall under a mandate to 'clean up their act' with disastrous effects.  I'm more concerned that a few years down the line, Disney may decide that they'd like to distribute their own comics.  If Disney/Marvel go it alone, it could severely cripple the direct market in the USA and possibly wipe out small independent publishers.

    All the worrying is nonsense.

    DC has been owned by AOL Time Warner without incident. All this means is that it's easier for Marvel to distribute things, and it wasn't like they were 'holding back' their brands. Marvel is happily fast-tracking every property it has, even if it's rubbish, aware they can just reboot it five years later with a different cast and still make a mint. If they want to do a She-Hulk movie, being acquired by Disney won't matter.

    Disney owns lots of companies. And if you're worried about Disney 'kiddifying' Marvel or turning Marvel comics into nothing but movie merchandise… Wolverine no longer smokes cigars, Spider-Man had his marriage annulled by Satan because a divorce would be immoral, and when Avi Arad had Bill Jemas fired, it not only drastically affected Marvel's creative output, but it was done to make sure the comics lined up more with the movies.

    Disney's acquisition just makes Marvel more secure, and means maybe we'll see Marvel put out Mickey Mouse and Incredibles comics and what not.

    It's fine.

    No, I don't think this affects any chances for a She-Hulk appearance.

    Considering that Disney also owns ABC, I think this raises the chance of some sort of She-Hulk appearance.

    Having worked for a Disney-owned company for nine years, I can tell you it's all about the bottom line.

    So a character who's been consistently unable to sustain a comic book title will not be high on Disney's list of must-make movies.
