That's the thing about being a publicly traded company, they have an obligation to make as much money for their stockholders as possible, which will probably happen under Disney, who will ruin the company in the meantime. The great thing about Marvel was their independence, and now that's no more. Thanks for coming by! Hi LP.

It shows that Marvels stockholders seemingly had little love for the authenticity and culture of their product but rather the money. It's no doubt that Disney can do a good Movie but we wanted Marvel by Marvel not Marvel by Disney. Let's hope D.C. doesn't sell out.
