I've been working through the news that Marvel Studios' film division will now report directly to Disney rather than be part of the Marvel whole. I have a variety of well-sourced takes that I'm hoping to run tomorrow if I can get all my Howard The Ducks in a row.

But with the news of Marvel's Creative Committee being disbanded, and all sorts of folks wondering what's up… here are some more folks wondering what's up.

An angry Ike Perlmutter reacts by shutting down Marvel publishing's one restroom; "hold it till you get home," he says

Mike Wellman Run free, Kevin! Run like the wind!

W O W

Matt Adler I honestly don't think any big changes will result.

All Kevin Feige has done is make successful movies. I can't imagine him being happy is a bad thing.

David Gallaher Wow. Just Wow!

I thought we were permanently vilifying Ike Perlmutter? Comic fandom is confusing. http://t.co/4MfYmcOE4a

Not about whether you or I "liked" AGE OF ULTRON or ANT-MAN. Marvel Studios in 2015 was a consistent home run hitter having an "off" season.

Marie Javins Amazing industry news.

That crazy guy at Staples in L.A. buying up boxes of paper clips? Kevin Feige. He spent ALL the petty cash at the office today.

Now instead of actively pretending Ike Perlmutter doesn't exist I can passively pretend he doesn't exist.

Deal basically sounds like Kevin Feige and friends have more creative control, so in that sense this deal sounds good

Kevin Feige left the lights on at the office when he left tonight.

One word of warning. There are some terrible stories about Isaac Perlmutter out there. That's because the spin has been solely coming out of the Feige camp. But there are two sides to every story. There has been no site more critical of Isaac Perlmutter than Bleeding Cool, but amongst that I have always credited him with the Marvel movies existing in the first place and taking the form that they have. There's a lot more to come out… he is, if nothing else, a fighter.

See you on Bleeding Cool later. I'm going dark…
