I know a Turkish Fellow of that name... might have spelled it with a y somewhere.

I really wish people would stop it with this Disney adds sparkles to everything meme.  Disney bought Marvel and has not made the Scarlet Witch into one of its Disney Princesses.  It bought Star Wars and isn't going to turn everything into rainbows and sunshine.

Companies like Hasbro and Disney live and die by how they treat their IP.  They got this big because -- while they can make mistakes (Battleship movie, I'm looking at you) -- they generally don't mess with the IP that drastically.




I am all good with Disney owning two of the three pillars of my hobby.  Marvel comics and Star Wars.  They handle Marvel well.

Hasbro won't mess up the IP.  They even try to keep a line of transformers true to the original.  It took Michale Beigh to mess up the transformers but that is not hasbros fault.

D&D Grognards are the CAMRA of D&D!
