Or just emphasizes just how the acquisition was driven by other opportunities with Marvel... besides theme parks.
Theme parks were so far down on the list, I'm not sure they qualify as an after-thought.
The reason for the Marvel acquisition was stuff like Disney XD's new Marvel Universe block which premiered this past weekend. Wonder what the ratings for that were like.
(For those interested, Marvel Universe was not nearly as well-executed as Cartoon Network's DC Nation. In fact, it reeked of copy-cat-itis.)
Whether or not the acquisition was a good idea won't be known for a long time. But theme parks really aren't part of that equation. Not in any meaningful way.
