It was bad enough seeing some of my favorite Squaresoft characters flounce about with Donald and Goofy, now we're going to be seeing Wolverine and Magneto do the same.

So first Cthulhu retires and is seen at one of their lush golf resorts...

I have every faith in the world that this move will simultaneously ruin Marvel AND Pixar as someone in Disney is going to convince PIXAR to make a bunch of cheesy animated movies based on Marvel characters.

Does this mean DC is officially cooler than Marvel? 

Also, I wonder if Stan Lee will be cryogenically frozen next to Walt when he kicks the bucket.

So, some comics got "ruined" (which is like spraying piss on a turd, IMO).  That's BAD NEWS, right up there with the horrible landslide of shit and corruption that is heading down the mountain at us all, right now.

This opens up the possibility for a Marvel action figure to appear in Toy Story 3, does it not?  In any event, given Pixar's quality work I wouldn't terribly mind them doing a comic book movie.

Well, yeah.  Which was worse, the collapse of Rome or the end of free gladiator fights?

True. The only other thing I could think of would be Dread Cthulhu making a guest appearance on Sesame Street.

...I would actually watch that, though.

Maybe the comination of deadpool and mickey mouse will result in a sort of particle/anti-particle annihilation, leaving us disney free and squid with a huge hole where Kissimmee used to be.

Also, there will be no more marvel comics but also no more marvel comic /movies/.

Optimist.  Disneyland and Disneyworld will survive the death of our species.

It's a dead world, after all...

Snow White would have ENORMOUS breasts, wear spandex, and constantly strike poses that shove said breasts 3 feet forward?

Well that too.  I was referring to the infamous Spiderman plot where Quesada made Spiderman make a deal with the devil, whereby his aunt was cured of cancer, but he never got married.  It led to much (fairly well justified, considering the character derailment) fanboi angst.

Just imagine a remake where Snow White finds out Doc is dying, and makes a pact with Satan whereby she never gets married to The Prince, but Doc is cured.  What a great story for the kids.

Only until you went mad and ate your own eyeballs.

Imagine the news: "and the shrieks of children across the US could be heard even in Canada as they went mad and plucked their own eyes from their sockets. It's said that they then consumed them in a fit of ravenous insanity at the sight of Cthulhu and Grover discussing the importance of 'on top' and 'underneath'. Here's Bob with the weather."

PBS denies that their new show, "R'ley Rainbows" caused this horrible tragedy, and instead blamed pre-teen drug use and Richard Cheney.
