Internet, you so crazy! I wish I could have gotten in on the big Marvel-Disney purchase meme while it was still fresh. Monday morning, I kept an eye on the initial flurry of news, Twitter reactions, punditry and parodies, but soon I was obliged to go to a lunchtime appointment. And by 1:00, it was just sordid.
From @scalzi: "Yes, yes, I know. Disney bought Marvel. You all make it sound like the inevitable 'X-Men Babies' cartoon series is BAD thing."
SpidermouseTeam-ups we'd like to see - actually, the article is so-so, but some of the readers' ideas might make cool movies ...
They're going to have to re-configure the "not-right meter" for this one on at least an exponential (but let's keep logarithmic on standby) scale.
Although Charles Xavier does, once in a while, bring Uncle Walt to mind. And Michael Eisner is a PERFECT candidate for Toad or Sabretooth. (Not nearly ethical enough for Magneto and way too inflexible for Mystique!)
But I confess: the Goofy/Galactus mashup would probably be worth at least a three-minute Adult Swim parody sopt...
