If Disney offered to buy your IP today, would you accept? (+poll)

Yes Hulu is an interesting breed, some of the things owned by companies have several steps away from each other that you can have some breathing room. If we wanna get REAL technical here pretty much everything (news programs included) are owned by about five companies. So if your principles can’t be bent or you can’t compromise your kind of screwed no matter what. (Which is why I think indie comics and games are becoming more wide spread?) like I said It would take a LOT for me to give my IP over to Disney when there are other studios/companies that I respect a bit more. But I would never say it’s impossible.

I picked yes for this because yes money. It would be nice to live comfortably and I could still continue to make comics.

I don't think they'd want either of my series though. Well, for True Power you could cut out some of the sexual stuff without changing the story, but I do have some strategically placed breasts in the stories. I feel like I might be lenient on cutting it down since it wouldn't change the feel too much.

Celestial Chronicle Shion is a whole different story though. The mature themes in the story are definitely needed and I wouldn't want to change the story almost at all. I feel the story says a lot about me personally so changing it wouldn't fly with me. I just can't allow for even one panel to be censored in it.

I may be destitute but I hate disney so much I wouldn't

[CodeMonkeyArts]

That's a rough one. I mean everyone has a price. It depends on the IP and I would definitely negotiate royalties because if they use what I create in a property, book, ride, movie, tv series, merchandise, whatever, I want a piece of that pie.

[Rhonder]

Oh yeah, 100% without a doubt. My current comic is pretty much just a training ground to get my feet wet and hone my skills anyways, so if they want to give me a bunch of money for it that would just help the cause tbh. Live comfortably, practice using a different story, see multimedia adaptions of my existing story, etc.

Whatever they make will probably be better than what I'm doing right now (and have a lot more reach as well)--they're professionals, so may as well.

[Rodimus13]

I have no clue. Hubby seemed to have no clue until I told him "Pretend I'm dead"

"Yes." So fast. "They are offering a lot of money and will animated it? It'll provide for me and Xaver for years to come plus I can't do animation."

How can I possibly vote on this with no dollar amount? Or are you asking if I object to Disney itself.

There's an ocean of difference between $10k (hell no) and $10m (hell yes).

My IP is not a remake of their existing IPs, why would they want it?

[jensrichard77]

What is an IP?........

[qwerty]

intellectual property, i.e. your story

[jensrichard77]

intellectual property

Fancy wording you got there

[qwerty]

I'd say hell yeah, ideas are expendable anyway. It's much easier to make ideas than to make money X'D

[jensrichard77]

And it is much easier to buy idea then came up with one. So why are we not making money?

Negasonic in the Deadpool movie was gay...

[WriterLinXiaolong]

No. But I'll probably sell the license to it. Remember, never sell away your rights because you will lose everything. Instead, sell the license to those rights.

[TAMAnnoying]

Feel like its a little unfair to use Deadpool as a "look disney is fine with R" when both deadpool movies where made before fox and disney sorted everything out. if they make a third deadpool movie thats R we can confirm that maybe they're willing to leave their comfort zones.

[Shanny8]

You have a point. Looking to see what happens with Deadpool moving forward...I'm hoping they dont squash any of the elements that made the first two movies hits.

[kitschensyngk]

I wouldn't sell.

My main comic Nachos Con Carne was inspired by how cheesy shows like their tweencoms are.

Besides, they own too much already.
