Disney buys Marvel: Reactions

As you can imagine, the reactions on twitter have been flying since today's announcement. Here are some of our favorites so far:
- Brian Reed has the quote for the win: "Face it, Tigger, you just hit the jackpot!"
- patrickkeller: Brian Michael Bendis is currently having giant, round mouse ears surgically attached to his head.
- Pinguino: Hey does this mean Rogue and Storm can be disney princesses now and get frilly dresses?
- Dave Stokes: Tinkerbell to play The Wasp in Avengers movie?
- uberthegeek: Chip & Dale: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- joshuwain: "Finding Namor"
- One person we won't name: "maybe this means i'll be able to go into the disney store again without looking like a pervert". Uh, if you have to ask, then the answer is NO.

Will Howard be allowed to wear pants?

Oops. I had that backwards. Disney was the one who forced Howard the Duck to wear pants.
(I could blame my mistake on the Internet providing too quick and easy access to putting my foot in my mouth, but I'd have made the same mistake, regardless, not thinking about it until after I'd written it.)

It's amusing to me that most people fear Marvel will be Disneyized. What if Disney will use Marvel to create a harder edge for itself? The current general trend seems (to me) to be towards darker, more potent content. It would have been difficult for Disney to develop this market WITHOUT taking in something like Marvel. It's all about money.
