Will Disney's New Movie Plan Affect Our Heroes On Screen?

:)

DOGS- I AGREE 100%!..I would LOVE a LIVE ACTION marvel
tv show, and ALOT more MARVEL animated MOVIES!
Ant man would make a great animated movie,
Iron Fist TV show??..maybe..Daredevil would be a
nice cameo on that show..Maybe Iron Fist should
be animated too.

LOL @ Diamond1995

@Angelo: If they had a like/dislike button I could chose next to people's topics, I would give you a thumbs up. Sometimes it's better to have movies like Blade where you have shadows and music to compensate for the special effects. I could see a Dr. Strange movie being made with a Blade feel and budget despite all the grand scale mysticism.

Angelo @ Great points man! ; )

Meh. Nothing to do with philosophy. Has to do with economics. People are not going to every piece of crap film that comes out now, due largely to the economy. Basically Disney is wisely being more selective to what kind of crap that they're going to foist on us.
This is neither good nor bad, except they may be more careful on hiting the mark with quality filmmaking which is good for us.

i don't see the term low budget as a bad term. It may actually make the movies seem more gritty and better. movies like iron fist, luke cage, daredevil don't really need a huge budget to be affective. I'm more curious to see how this would affect like characters like Nova which even though he isn't really a huge name in comics would only be a success if they used a giant budget to make a space epic.

@gestlmutant: I couldn't agree with you more. If a film were forced to deal with a smaller budget, we may see more character-driven pieces... In so many of today's epic films we see SFX used as a crutch - merely a gimmick. I think this is great for the most part.

think about this the first Blade movie was actually a low budget movie. the budget for that movie was only $45,000,000 and it made $131,183,530. the budget aint a issue they just need a good story and director to do these movies. even big budget movies does not do well it might make the money but sometimes it fail big time.

i believe Ant Man and Doctor Strange will get big budget tho.

Black Panther, Luke Cage and Iron Fist will be low budget movies. plus Black Panther, Luke Cage and Iron Fist most likey will not be distributed by Disney but their alternate movie divisions i.e. Hollywood Pictures or Touchstone Pictures.

@ sandman

i posted it another article, but i'll post it again.

Disney might come out with disneyfied "versions" of comics and toys and shows and things, but they would be complete idiots to do that with all of their existing properties and media. they would lose the already existing fanbase that they make the majority of their money from. thats bad business.

why would you buy a company that makes most of their money off of pre-existing fans, just to turn around and push those fans away?? Marvel already has awesome sales in the children demographic, as well as the adult demographic. why would they even CONSIDER pushing away more than half of their fanbase?? it would be lunacy. it would defeat the entire purpose of the reason they bought marvel to begin with, which is to make money!

i don't think you realize just how many companies Disney owns, that you don't even know about. i'll put just a FEW up.

Touchstone Pictures. Hollywood Pictures. Miramax Films. Dimension Films. Pixar Animation Studios. Buena Vista International. these are all movie studios that Disney OWNS, yet they stay away and let them run the way they always ran before they were bought out. MANY of these companies put out rated R movies ALL the time. Disney has done NOTHING to ruin ANYTHING that these companies do. why would they start with Marvel??

Disney has given NO ONE ANY reason to think they will ruin anything. you're basing your anti-disney comments off of nothing other than your own fear, and not fact. you say Disney sucks companies dry, well guess what, thats the whole reason they buy companies, to make money off of the things that the other companies do better. until Disney gives you a solid reason to think they will ruin marvel, you should relax :) but don't worry, you're not the only one. like Odinsbeard said in another article, "can you name ONE thing Disney has EVER done to make you think they will ruin Marvel?? name one thing...

i don't mean to sound condescending or like i'm singling you out, because this anti-disney talk goes on all the time. so no offense personally :) its just that everytime there's even IFFY news, all of a sudden people blame Disney. yet you don't hear ANYONE PRAISING Disney when we get great news. kind of ironic, huh?

@ATOMbomb: If you're refering to what I said, a perfect example would be The Dark Knight - reviewers said wasn't like a CBM because of it's focus on characters. It still had action, just not overdone. Or Sin City, aside from the stylize presentation, it's a very dramatic and noirish character-driven film. CGI and SFX are necessary with these films, some more than others - but it would be nice to see something different, something untraditional. Oh, and and your avatar is spooky :)

this could be good news i think .. it may mean we get some more comicbook films yer they will be low budget whatever that means but still i think it means we will be getting more films once they work out what films are going to be the big 1s i really think a lot of CBM are going to be made i dnt care if they are blockbusters or not i just wana see um get made

@Dogs I agree 100%. Marvel has alot of potential for direct to DVD animated realeases as awell as live action and animated tv series.

An Alias tv show could be cool. And I always thought a show about the Vault would be inbteresting. Kind of a Law and Order/Oz meets the Marvel Universe.

OdinsBeard: I didn't mean every character. Your absolutely correct with Cage, Iron Fist and any of the street level characters.

The ones I'm referring to are the Cosmic characters or any of the flying, laser shooting type characters that would warrant a larger amount of special effects.

Marvel has stated they want to get some of their cosmic characters on the big screen. Some of these heroes are not what you would call A-list heroes. I just wonder if their second tier nature would allow for a large enough budget to properly bring them to life.

My fault for not being more clear. There is absolutely no paranoia anywhere in my little world. I merely posed a question. I neither hate nor fear Disney.

DannyRand401 : I believe "The Proposal" was made for under $50 million and this topic came up when the producers wanted to do a sequel. Disney said they wouldn't be interested in a sequel because of this new plan.

@ odinsbeard

right on man, FANBOY PARANOIA at its finest! when you look at the facts, its just silly to think Disney will ruin all of marvel. lol

@ guardian

lol, thanks man! i up your handshake with a high five.

@ upupandaway

thanks for the support buddy!

CDB & OdinsBeard : You both need to back up. I have never said anything bad about Disney. I have no worries when it comes to Disney "messing" with Marvel characters.

My question is: are Marvels characters going to get descent treatment on screen for at or under $50million bucks? The point of this article is they are focusing on movies OVER $150 million or under $50 million.

Now, how many of Marvels B-list characters do you think can be filmed for over or under that amount? Not many. Most fall somewhere in the middle.

Now, find someone else to pin your paranoia badge on because the damn thing doesn't fit me.

This isn't the Disney I grew up with. I watched Mickey Mouse cartoons and anything during the 90's. Nowadays, the words I hear when discussing Disney include every homophobic word in the book. I hope Epic Mickey can change all that.

And watch what you say about the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus. They did that "We Are the World" remake, and if you bring one of their names up and say that they screwed it up, you get a grammatically-retarded response saying that you fail at life and have no heart.
