I like how being a writer basically excuses someone from all responsibility for a movie

I don't think anyone understands that I'm being quite serious here.

Nah, like...I'm just saying- there was another dude involved in I, Robot.
Also, yeah, it does excuse someone sometimes. Like Joss Whedon and Alien: Resurrection wherein he wrote a script then saw the movie and was like "whaaaat theeee fuuuuuuck?"

Disney bought Pixar. As a result, John Lasseter became CEO of Disney.
John Lasseter was half the reason that Pixar was awesome. The other half was that everyone at Pixar listened to him
In short, Disney ate Pixar and gained all its awesome as attributes. Disney is a corporate zombie, and now it owns Marvel. It will absorb the awesome of Marvel (FUCKING SPIDERMAN, BITCHES!) and allow that awesome to continue.
Quit whining; Pixar was awesome and Pixar is now in control of Disney. Pixar is now also in control of Marvel. This means more independent creative control because Lasseter, CEO of Disney, is the fucking man.

Didn't you hear?
Disney still can't touch half of Marvel's shit for the next few years.
Tom:
One of Marvel's latest ventures is motion comics. For those unfamiliar with the concept it is quite simply a half-way point between comics and full-blown animation. Currently, Spider-Woman, Agent of S.W.O.R.D. (Bendis and Maleev) is being serialised fortnightly with a serialised adaptation of Whedon and Cassaday's "Gifted" arc of Astonishing to come later in October.
More information here, plus a free live stream of the first Spider-Woman episode.
So, what do you think? Does the format work commercially? How will the current merger between Disney and Marvel affect this?
