I see Marvel comics have made the jump into films. Hardly surprising, given the success of Spidey and the X-men, and the complicated legal wrangles of licensing out other people's imagination and hard work. They're going to make film vehicles for ten of their characters. So anyone who was fan of Captain America, Nick Fury and the Avengers as a child, prepare to have your childhood memories tarnished forever...

Apparently they've also changed their name in view of this move from Marvel Enterprises to Marvel Entertainment. Not sure why this is, as all pretence of entertainment now seem to have been dropped. The BBC quotes a Marvel suit as saying:

"We are excited to launch (the characters) as consumer brands via feature film releases under our direction."

Sounds like he's about to have a personal accident just thinking about the wedge of cash they'll make from impressionale young children and nostalgic adults. Well, at least he's honest about it, the shallow, greedy, soulless, money-grabbing, parasitic, weaselly, spine-free little corporate crook...
