Is disney still a good thing for marvel?

Hey guys, I was just thinking about how marvel shares or has shared its rights with sony disney fox. Technically disney owns Marvel as a whole, but do you think nowadays that Disneys ownership is still beneficial to marvel?

I think in recent times, Disneys push for the TV Shows, and its overall influence on marvel has had much more negatives than it used to. Pre-Endgame marvel was very consistent, and we have Disney to thank for helping establish this MCU and working it out with sony to bring us spiderman in some form.

However, at this point I feel like Disney is kind of spoiling what made marvel special, it’s really over saturated. Majority of projects post endgame have been mediocre, Fantastic 4 was a savior thanks to the acquisition of their rights.

I’m grateful it’s not owned by Sony for example who would literally destroy marvel which we’ve seen them do with their Spiderverse without spiderman which is so stupid when they could create an else world type of thing like how Matt Reeves’s Batman is separate to DCU.

Overall I don’t think it’s possible since disney literally owns marvel, but in another universe do you think the MCU would have fared better without Disney and without any other entities like Fox, Sony, etc. Just Marvel by themselves. I don’t know the history so I’d love to hear about it, maybe Disney revived marvel, I wasn’t really old enough back then to know the full story.

You mean the company with the most leverage in the theatrical business is bad to Marvel?

Creative fumbles arriving 15 years late aren't going to change the fact Disney was a net positive for Marvel.

Not to mention capital B Bankrolling all of this and keeping the publishing alive.

Well you should have know from the start when Disney got Marvel that they will ruin most of the IP that are violent and target 18+ audiences. They did a sloppy job with Punisher, Ultron, Multiverse of Madness and Marvel Zombies and I expect a sad PG treatment of Blade. These are all very dark and violent Marvel characters.

...Um the Punisher was written the same way he was written in the Netfix Shows.

...Also of course post hidden of freaking course lol.

You’re right, the Kingpin crushing a man’s skull with his hands so hard that that his entire head bust and blood dripped his shirtfront while everyone looked on, agog with sheer terror and fear for their own lives was just toooootally tame. I felt like I was watching Paw Patrol!

That's just one closed of event, which could have been edited better, might I add.

LTM4382026-01-03 16:27

Okay, then how do you like Jack Russel brutally mauling a bunch of guards as a werewolf? Gargantos' eye getting skewered with a magical spear? The totality of Deadpool & Wolverine?

Ugh, who am I kidding, the real violence is having this conversation with you. And it's self-inflicted.

usmannaeem2026-01-03 17:12

yes D&W is the only most realistic one and they marketed it properly that way as well. To match the characters IP's depiction on the big screen - cinematic action that's not held back. True and living up to the to the characters. Deadpool, Wolverine, Punisher, Marvel Knights, Blade, Dr Strange the mystics universe and countless many target older audiences through the comics. As compared to the Avengers family with is more for all ages. To honest even D&W didn't really actually show scenes, felt like it was held back, it was mostly just blood splatter.

Dude, a guy's head was exploded with a rocket launcher in a close-up shot in Deadpool, what ARE we doing here? Also when has Dr. Strange EVER been an R-rated property? You ever do the research on this stuff?

usmannaeem2026-01-03 19:38

I am referring in reference to comicbooks in terms of Dr. Strange. Multiverse of Madness editing was sloppy that way. And one 3 second scene is not enough to call a movie violent. Now this is turning into a discussion on filmmaking and the genres.

LTM4382026-01-03 22:02

Editing is not what’s on the li- you’re not getting this, are you? So I submit again, why am I here? Fare thee well, stick in the mud!

lol, Pre-Endgame Marvel wasn't very consistent.

Every phase has had hits and misses. Out of the 12 Phase 1 & 2 movies, only 4 were as well-received as most Phase 3 projects.

...Box office projection... we are talking about box office projection.

I'm guessing that Lilo and Stich was a 3rd best movie of the year right since it's make the 3rd best box office since that's; the only thing that should matter to everyone now.

...Answer the question is Lilo and stich the 3rd best movie because it has the 3rd best box office since that's the only thing that seem to matter now. Is the Minecraft the 4th best movie.

Is Brave New world a better movie then Thunderbolts or First Steps cause it make more box office?

To be fair the issues with Disney right now was company wide, not just Marvel.
