Disney buys Marvel
ty.pitre:
I would be excited if Pixar did a Marvel Superhero movie. That would be awesome.
As it is, Marvel has been BLAH for me for quite awhile now - I stopped caring about the characters and the plots, and then just about everything else. Civil War was great. It was also the end of my Marvel fanboy-ism.
But seriously, imagine a Spider-man Pixar movie. It seems wrong, but it feels so, so right.

I found a fairly detailed site discussing this:

I highly doubt Sony will let anyone from Disney touch their shit, in regards to Spiderman.
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: Tom on 05 Sep 2009, 15:38 ---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?
--- End quote ---
It's an interesting idea but that Spider-Woman episode I watched didn't really work for me. The lengthy exposition seems unbearably ridiculous when you have to sit through someone speaking it (it's always been awful but since it's such a frequent part of superhero comics it's less jarring there). Some of the static foreground/moving background combinations don't work either, the characters look frozen and you become even more aware that you're looking at a fairly uninteresting drawing for longer than you want to (I'm thinking of the bus scene). The voice acting was bad too, probably in part due to the unwieldy dialogue the actors were having to deliver.
Basically, this could work but they need to make comics designed specifically for it instead of using existing ones.
Tom:
That's pretty much what I thought, I don't think that there's a viable in between.

Stan Lee is using the $4b to build his own Iron Man suit.
You heard it here first.
