Woo! Disney is set to acquire Marvel for a huge amount of $4 billion (or more). Reminds you of the time Pixar was bought for $6 billion, right? Crazy stuff. Before anyone gets too skeptical and starts contemplating suicide in screams of "KIDDIE SPIDEY!!!! NO!!!" I'd like to just point out that Disney knows how to handle mature properties well enough.
Evidence? Just look at the Pixar movies and the Pirates of the Carribean series. The Incredibles still beats most Marvel-based movies out there (except the spectacular, pun intended, Spider-man 2) and whoever dares condemn Captain Jack Sparrow as kiddie needs to be shot, courtesy of the good captain, of course. Also, anyone played Kingdom Hearts, that weird combination of Disney and Final Fantasy? It worked wondrously, didn't it?
I'm no fortune teller, but regardless of the positive or negative consequences of this deal, it will be interesting to follow this development.
