This Is Awesome!

How awesome is the news that Disney has acquired Marvel?

Well, take those three crappy Spiderman movies, the horrible Daredevil attempt and two sub-par Fantastic Four efforts, ball them up and throw'em in the garbage, because with the backing of a major studio with beaucoup bucks, you can be sure that new versions are in the making.

The same goes for the two shitty incarnations of The Hulk too!

Now, all those characters that you (read: me and my fellow comic book nerds) have always wanted to see on the silver screen will be get the royal treatment from a studio with the pull and pockets to do them justice.

As great as Christopher Nolan's take on Batman has been, the rest of the DC Comic collective isn't nearly as appealing, aside from seeing some young starlet slip into the Wonder Woman outfit.

The latest Superman was nowhere near as successful as anticipated, and while The Flash and Green Lantern have sound possibilities, the Marvel Universe is just too impressive to beat.

Besides the characters mentioned off the top, you still have Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, each of the X-Men, Punisher and many, many more.

Regardless of your comic book affiliation, this is a great announcement for geeks everywhere!
