Walt Disney Co. said on Monday it has reached a deal to acquire comic book titan Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion in stock and cash. In a statement, Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger said "adding Marvel to Disney's unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation." Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own.

Guys, you're failing to understand one thing...
Disney isn't stupid.

They're not going to spend 4billion dollars so they can change marvel, make people hate it, and loose all the profit. They're still going to have the same workers, the same artists, the same people. All thats different is the new location of funding sources. Sure, they may make some stupid new comics, but I highly doubt Disney is stupid enough to change comics that are already making millions... ;)

They where stupid enough to create Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers. Seriously the only money Disney makes now is from Pixar and Tourism

Stupid? Farrrrr from it! They're making BANK off of both of those shows/characters/bands, so I don't see how you think they're stupid. Just because you don't personally like them, doesn't make them stupid. I don't like them either, but from a business standpoint, they're far from stupid...

sitcoms are supposed to be funny Like this one and this one

Thats an opinion. People like different things, they have to cater to all types of shows to get a good profit. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean others don't.

New CEO's, new agendas, new perspective. There is no way to tell how much they will or won't do. It isn't so much that they just change things to fit their already prospering industry. More along the lines of product testing in the key demographics and a few outsourcing to the less lucrative ones. It wouldn't be the first time a huge corporation fucks up like this. Coke Classic should be a good enough example.

Exactly, and you can't compare disney shows with those. Most of disney's shows are made for kids, thus you can't go comparing it to sitcoms like "Fresh prince from bell air" since it was not made for kids of the same age.

I for one won't like it saying "Disney Marvel" on a spiderman comic:p

But on another thing, I think that it will increase the value of all old "just marvel" comics, atleast if they change the titles:D

This.

Disney isn't as financially sound as it once was, but it's a bloody empire. They didn't get to be that kind of empire by changing things to make people hate them. They make movies people love, be it adults or children.

They're going to try to make Marvel something people will love and buy. Not destroy it. There's no profit in destroying a titan in the comic industry...

[Unless they want to buy DC, too :rolleyes:]

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
