Okay is anyone else completely creeped the fuck out by the Direct Tv marionette ads. Especially the one with the wife seducing the husband. Seriously Direct Tv, the fuck

Help me out, kowhite: for most franchises we seriously over-value what merchandising is worth.

I find the Disney rights issue really weird when it comes to Walt Disney World. They can't have Spidey , Cap or Hulk there because Universal owns the rights

I hope we go the whole Summer without a 100M opening. I feel all tingly inside just thinking about it.

Sony doesn't get merchandise profits for Spider-Man.

They can't have any Marvel characters at WDW.

Yeah those were funny.

Sony is not going to sell Spidey back to Marvel. Please, move on from that fantasy.

He's wearing Spidey pajamas tonight, LOL.

Ah, I remember that one. I remember the ones that had Charlie Sheen in it, those were funny.

Yeah, I know, that's my point.

Well my son is getting a space theme crib this November.

#ED, lay it on him. This is a betrayal.

Sorry let me continue. But they've had monorails wrapped with an Avengers theme but I read something that as long as that monorail didn't enter the Magic Kingdom or Epcot and just stuck to the hotel loop then technically the characters weren't in the parks

[Walt Disney]

It's very weird. To make it even more weird, before Disney bought Marvel, Marvel begged Universal to re-up the deal for the superheroes at Universal in California. Universal decided that they weren't worth the money and passed. Then, Disney bought Marvel and now they'd love to get out of the Florida contract but Universal doesn't want to give the theme park rights up.

 

To make it even more weird, Disney needed an alternative to building new attractions at Walt Disney World since they couldn't use Marvel characters like they could in Disneyland. So they started talking to George Lucas about building more Star Wars attractions. But, Disney decided that they'd be better off just buying LucasFilm. Now, we're getting a new Star Wars movie.
