The great Stan Lee wants to put fears to rest that Disney's takeover of Marvel Entertainment Inc. will be disastrous for the comic book kingpin and its fans. Lee says that the core young male audience has nothing to worry about.

Lee, who was recently interviewed by Reuters, said that "to me, becoming 'Disneyfied' is not a bad thing. I mean look at (Disney) movies like 'Pirates of the Caribbean."

Stan Lee, who is currently Marvel's Chairman Emeritus, also happens to be one of the co-founders of the media production company called POW! Entertainment, which also happens to have a business partnership with Disney.

"Disney knows how to do movies. They know how to do colorful characters and I think the fans, if they think about it, they're going to love it," Lee said.

@thecritic: I keep kinda busy so I won't get in the way of any of the cap wars.Although they all seem very qualified for the position, maybe some more than others (wink, wink). But I will chime in occasionally! I'm kinda quiet and keep long hours of editing my music and such.

@him: whats up! nice to know everyone is good and friendly on here.

[frick] all you and your Captain America shit! I'm going rogue and starting my own candidate now beotches! Aaron Eckhart as Cap!!! Boo-yah!!!

Whiteass, as long as you concede that X-Men are king... you and I will get along fine ;) Oh, and you are suffering from a head injury if you be thinking these assholes are friendly. Sure, they smile now, but watch what happens if you say something like 'Micheal Bay Rulez' or 'Meagan Fox for Catwoman!' Heh heh, I'm just jerkin' your chain. Welcome to CBM, where opinions can get you killed!

But I've been reading the Garth Ennis Preacher stuff and man its fantastic!

@TheMyth: Eckhart could be a good Cap actually, he'd be my third choice though (after 1: Worthington, and 2: Ackles)...

@Ozy: Cool man... I still have to try and play those games

@white: No one cares about what your screen name is, I've seen more "innappropiate" screen names than Whiteassmatt so its all good

You know I bet Stan owns some serious shares in Marvel. He's lighting a cigar with a $100 bill after this one.
