Are marvel and Star Wars characters considered to be Disney characters?

They are owned by Disney, therefore yes (unfortunately). Marvel has been a Disney property since 2009, and Star Wars since 2012.

That said however, it's easy to make a distinction between original source writing and material versus post-Disney acquisition.

I don't know about marvel but star wars is unfortunately cause Disney bought star wars, I still decide what I want to be cannon tho cause Disney is ruining the franchise.

Yes and no. Yes by technicallity. No because its not typical disney. That being said I do consider leia my favorit disney princess. 🤗

Google:


“ Disney wholly bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion in 2009. ”

My boyfriend tried to argue with me because they aren’t original Disney movies.

[BarryLiverstone]

Prior to 2009 Star Wars and Marvel wasn’t

[BarryLiverstone]

You may both be right in this case

[Asker]

But I was talking about now. But he is still saying that it is not.

[BarryLiverstone]

He knows how to Google right?

[Asker]

I don’t know why people make everything out to be such a big deal.

[BarryLiverstone]

I don’t either. Just like not sure why you asked anon? Mysteries abound

[Asker]

Because I didn’t want to feel like I was a dumbass for asking

[BarryLiverstone]

I feel like that and I still ask questions lol. You can see mine

[NamerOfStars]

I certainly hope not.

[Asker]

Why?

[NamerOfStars]

Because of what Disney has come to stand for. They're not the company they were even twenty years ago, and they can't even be bothered with basic respect, let alone stewardship, for their OWN properties, let alone ones they bought.

I don't have much personal history with Marvel, so I can't really speak to that, but look at what they've done with Star Wars- it's not the Campbellian saga any more, but not only haven't they moved past that, they've regressed it, turning it into generic McProduct, assuming that the name "Star Wars" was all they needed. I doubt any of the writers have even READ Campbell, and probably think "Mircea Eliade" is some kind of Hungarian soup. It's not art any more, and the more people come to see Star Wars as a "Disney thing", the less they'll see it as the incredible thing it originally was.
