Marvel Buys Disney: The 5 Stages of Depression

spiderman-sadIf you haven’t heard yet, it looks like Disney will be buying Marvel Entertainment. This is pretty damned scary as Disney has a long history of abusing their talent, and making all around dick moves as a company. I thought about writing a long diatribe about how this news both enrages and depresses me, but I decided instead to share with you the IM conversation a friend and I had upon hearing the sad sad news.

Svenn: Disney bought Marvel? wtf?

me: yikes
where’d you hear that? I haven’t heard that – I choose not to believe it until I see proof
harumph
Stage 1: Denial
me: Fuck that – Fuck Disney I hate them so fucking hard – they’re gonna ruin everything
Svenn: if that’s not good enough: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8230504.stm
lol
Stage 2: Anger?
me: Spiderman will be holding Doc Oc’s hand(s) as they walk through the fields together
yes, stage 2
Svenn: my boss is a big Marvel fan… I just heard him say “A little piece of me died today…”
me: agreed
Svenn: I think he’s got Marvel tattoos, lol
me: maybe a petition
I mean, they’re not usually effective, but perhaps with enough people Disney will stay away from my milkshake
Stage 3: Bargaining
Svenn: lol
me: I’m gonna effin cry – I’ve been a Marvel fan since I was a kid
I even stuck with them through the Blade movies
It’s like loosing a family member
:(
Stage 4: Depression
……. oh well, I’ve still got DC – Batman FTW.
Stage 5: Acceptance
