There are no doubt teenagers who think Thor, Loki, Snow White etc. were all thought up by Disney/Marvel. Disney has been laundering (and copyrighting) folk history for a century now, and Marvel mythology for a little less time.
- wolverine876 5y ago> Disney has been laundering (and copyrighting) folk history for a century now, and Marvel mythology for a little less time. Almost every fiction ever written does that. It makes better stories, arguably: 1) Those stories persisted across eons for a reason, and 2) it anchors the new story in something people already have an understanding of.
- effingwewt 5y agoI think not. It's one thing to adapt/re-boot something and quite another to try and re-write history via shitty contracts to try and make yourself the sole creator (Disney, Marvel/Stan Lee). Credit used to be given, now it is stolen.
