This morning at approximately 10:00am, Disney bought out Marvel Comics.
The Punisher kills everyone involved, then shoots himself in the head.

After all these horseshit movies AND video games, I don't give a fuck who buys anything anymore. The characters mean whatever they mean to your childhood, and the gangrape they incur as a result of the following generations is a problem for only the most massive of nerds and losers. At least the badass versions live on in the minds of those that knew them as they truly were.

If I had ever seen a comic book movie that I remotely enjoyed (and don't try and troll me with "The Dark Knight woz orsum!", faggots), or ever read a marvel comic in my life, or gave the slightest fuck about what Discney did or didn't do in its war against faggots and darkies, I'd be taking my first step towards giving a shit.

disney bought a product. it doesnt change the value of said product to your memories of childhood one bit.
geeky purists are a joke - the worst kind of flimsy, meaningless, and above all exploitable sentimentality.
they bought it so they could make films that youll watch and cry about because they werent word for fucking word like the original, but youll still give them your fatass dirty dollar.
so shut up and buy.

Shame, but I've already downloaded nearly everything from my childhood. Re-watching the X-Men animated series kicked ass.

At least they can't buy out Bill Watterson!
So you can rest assured you will never see the good names of his characters being tarnished by being used in tacky and humourless ways on the internet!
Tea Party!

WHO. THE. FUCK. CARES.
You a shareholder at Marvel? You a Disney Executive? You got a stake in either company? Will this affect your disabled life in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER?
Fatass.

My childhood involved 'Magic Roundabout' and 'Over the Moon with Mister Boom'.
Disney bought something else? Big fucking deal.
