You’re kidding me Marvel.  It’s been disappointing to watch one of the most cherished companies of my youth shoot themselves in the foot time and time again.  The one big thing they’ve got going for them is their licensing for movie properties, and they somehow still manage to screw that up

Look, if it’s that important that Marvel doesn’t want people to see this movie, then I guess I won’t be going to see it this opening weekend.  Normally I’m all over super-hero movies, standing in line on opening night, but apparently Marvel doesn’t want geeks to watch the movies.  I realize that my boycott of Marvel doesn’t mean anything to them, but I’m not going to give Marvel (through Paramount) money when they think they can jerk people around like this – at least not on opening weekend.

Update: TechCrunch got to the bottom of it, it turns out Oracle was the culprit.  Marvel apologized, so I’m good with Marvel once again. Oracle, on the other hand…
