I wonder how bad this will screw over Universal Theme Parks?!  :lmfao:

Probably not very.  Most major companies who've invested money in Marvel IP will have contracts that protect their interests for a number of years out.
And then in five or ten years time, they'll rename the Incredible Hulk roller coast the Dora The Explorer roller coaster, or maybe Kung Fu Panda roller coaster, or maybe some franchise we've never even heard of.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You guys are fucking nerds!

How the hell do you know so much about friggin comics?

Dude, I used to beat the shit out of kids like you back in school.

Not really. I took several nerds under my wing. I fucked with them, verbally, but my sefaradi education placed the taboo on me of fighting the weak. I always had compasion for kids with no idea what life was for.

Girls and War.

One girl, many wars.

To put it in terms that you guys can understand, I'll repeat the words that the character Hector says in that 2005 Troy movie:

"All my life I've lived by a code and the code is simple: honor your G-d, love your woman, and defend your country!"

Kung Fu Panda coaster would be cool.

BTW, I think Mickey Mouse was smart in this.

Guess what Siege?  We won.  We rule the world, and people like you are slaves.

You are probably right. Regretably, social evolution, modern capitalism, and technology have allowed B-males to rule over the Alpha-males.

This is, of course, incorrect.  The nature of the alpha male has changed.  The thuggish characteristics which were important in pre-civilized societies are no longer important.

In short, the nerds are now the alpha males.

I don't agree with that. Alpha males are by definition the males that rule over other males.

When I'm on the battlefield, I own the enemy males, I kill them, I capture them, I occupy their houses, I own their women and children. It is only the laws of the B males from my own tribe that stop me from taking what is rightfully mine, earnt by the edge of my sword.

That's reason 11th why I hate B males.

And since nerds rule over the other males, they are the alpha males.

Besides, as an infantryman, you're obsolete anyways.

It's very much about Iconic Imagery being owned forever by Disney, someday they'll buy Coke, Pepsi, and DC. Superman & Spidey will greet you with Mickey & Goofy as you enter the Disney Biosphere formerly known as California.

Time-Warner is unlikely to give up the rights to the most iconic superheros there are.

The only reason you prevail over what you call "B males" is because you have technology and superior logistics on your side.  Your so called "alpha" status would disintigrate when subjected to a well placed missile, artillery barrage or when your supply lines are cut.  You owe your petty personal victories to the nerds who perfected your tactics, your tools and who bring the support when you're in over your head.

In short, the only difference between you and your opponents is that you have better nerds on your side.  If you didn't, it be your woman, your house and life that'd be owned by your foes.

Hello, inferiority complex. Don't ever make the mistake of calling me a beta. You need brains and brawn to be an alpha- you ain't got one, and you're dreaming you've got the other. And that's why you're a fucking idiot in my book. I don't just respect some half-brained halfbreed with a killing fetish.

Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they are so clever. I'm very glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard.
