As I'm sure everyone has seen by now (if not click HERE) Disney is in the process of purchasing Marvel for 4 Billion dollars. I must admit that since this morning's announcement, I have gone through my own variation on the "7 stages of grief".
1. SHOCK & DENIAL: WTF?!?! This is going to ruin EVERYTHING good that Marvel has built over the past 75 years!
2. PAIN & GUILT: If I had spent more money on comics instead of video games, Marvel wouldn't HAVE to sell.
3. ANGER & BARGAINING: Maybe the deal wont go through. Maybe they wont have to sell.
4. DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS: I remember all the years reading comics. They taught me so much more about how the world works than Disney ever did.
5. THE UPWARD TURN: It might not be so bad. Both Disney and Marvel are very strong companies.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH: This could actually be great for both companies. They both have a lot of unique characters and stories to offer each other's fan bases.
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE: I see this as a mutually beneficial business arrangement between two powerhouse companies. I am looking forward to seeing what joint projects they come up with in the future.
All said and done, while this move deffinately caught me off guard, I am actually optimistic. I cant wait to see what collaborations Marvel and Disney produce together.
However, the second that Hulk starts singing "Under The Sea"...... I am so outta here.
