Let's hope this ain't true, otherwise the Virus will spread beyond all possible quarantine.
[QUOTE=Zombii;38333790]PLEASE GOD NO
Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, the makers of D&D, Magic, the Pokemon TCG, and numerous other games and franchises which are currently making a FANTASTIC comeback and would be completely ruined by Disney
PLEASE NO[/QUOTE]
Hasbro hasn't had the rights to the Pokemon TCG game since 2003, Nintendo brought it in house.
MLP killed, I like that, but transformers would die too
Thank fucking god, we can have finally princess pinky pie be another disney princess, I've always wanted to kill heartless in equestaria

And fuck yeah summoning Cobra Commander
Oh jesus christ I was expecting this, Bob Iger saw the ponies and went "god damn it we need those for Disney Channel, not 'hub'"
Disney if you dare touch the ponies you'll...wait nevermind you stop the fan base
[QUOTE=Ereunity;38332995]Disney better not fuck with my ponies or my Optimus Prime.
Fanbase, roll out![/QUOTE]
Michael Bay already did enough to Optimus Prime
Leave Gijoe alone please
[QUOTE=Greenen72;38334052]And fuck yeah summoning Cobra Commander[/QUOTE]Summoning anyone from G.I. Joe would be a [i]horrible[/i] idea.
All they'd be able to do is shoot lasers wildly into the sky. It's a trait hard-coded into anything which had both guns and a cartoon show in the eighties.

daijitsu come forth, there is spaghetti for you to ruin
They will probably keep MLP but tell the team to loose the adult pop culture references after a bunch of angry parents (me) will send them 500 emails (me on 500 disposable emails)
everything would be business as usual, why is everyone mad also hi GyroburnerV2

At least they are not taking the Blue Sky Studios approach via by also raping them.
So, when do the anti-trust laws come into play?

not until they buy out viacom
[QUOTE=Paramud;38333000]Please, purchase MLP and kill that off too.[/QUOTE]
No, Disney, it is not enough to merely kill it's body. To truly kill off The MLP, you must destroy it's soul. Simply cancel it, it and it will become a martyr, but turn away the most zealous of fans in disgust with crossovers with your sitcoms and music by your teenpop bands, and then you will have achieved victory.
They have gone mad with power.
MAD I SAY!
Disney is gonna take over the world.

chill the fuck out it's a cartoon
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;38334708]Melodrama much?[/QUOTE]
That actually didn't turn out as melodramatic as I wanted. I was thinking of adding something about the scent of blood, but it didn't really fit.
you say that you hate all overly-obsessive bronies then you say this shit
[QUOTE=Paramud;38333000]Please, purchase MLP and kill that off too.[/QUOTE]
Knowing Disney, they'd run the brand into the ground for several more years with the knowledge of how big the fanbase is. So Disney purchasing it would actually make the show last LONGER.

You are starting to sound like a super villain there.

That's totally what I was going for. I do a great evil laugh.

He is like one of those Republican Senators that bashes gay rights, but then get photographed with a prostitute of the same sex.
• Disney is rumored to have an interest in buying Hasbro
• Hasbro owns Transformers, GI Joe, Nerf, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and a plethora of other popular and nostalgic franchises
• They also happen to own My Little Pony
• The first four comments are about ponies, and the thread is showing signs of evolving into another pony shitstorm on the second fucking page
Stay classy Facepunch
Oh well could be worse, it could be a franchise I actually like.
