Man of Action On "Big Hero 6" & Comics/Hollywood Relationship: "Credit Is Proper"

Other way around. Disney told Marvel not to do anything with BH6.

I keep on hearing this, but I have to say where did this idea originated from anyway ?

Sunpyre & Ebon Samurai are the last two Big Hero 6 members available for sequels. Not X-Men, not mutants, and created exclusively by Scott Lobdell for the Big Hero 6 franchise.

More like at the moment Disney requested that any ideas in regard to a sequel for the movie come from them. Also I don't trust the President of Marvel to be honest given the way he acted in regard to the marketing of various toys and other related merchandise causing at least two lawsuits and three or four people who created some very big lines for Disney to up and Quit on them. There's a lot of rumors going around about who controls what between the two companies right now.

If thatsthe case they didnt want Marvel editors to screw with the story or change the characters. Now where is Sunfire? I hope Big heroe 6 introducesthis mutant.

Sunfire can't be introduced due to the whole situation with Fox, even just using his name would be a big no no. As for the story, wow animated movies from concept to film take about 5 years. This includes the fact that the director of one film can be suddenly pulled into helping script another and work on the story board of yet another. If anything most studios don't get into contact with the creators at all. Especially if the people doing it have no real interest in creating what was in the story, they just liked the concept. Howls moving castle and Earth Sea are two of the bigger examples of totally messing with the story from the East, and Black swan is pretty much a messed up version of Satoshi Kon's perfect blue which was bought by the director of Black Swan because "He liked the idea of a woman going nuts like that."

Owned by Fox like the rest of the X-men.

Yeah I don't know where it started in regard to the whole Disney/Marvel issue. From what I've read on the business side there's a lot in the top brass (Iger and Pearlman) that isn't really talked about. There are a lot of rumors in regard to Marvel running the show more given that Don Hall was told rather then asked to look into the Marvel properties for his next film. My guess was that there was some sort of thing where Disney had to at least use some aspect of Marvel to please certain people. Although Marvel is making the Disney Kingdoms comics so it's all really weird.

Sunpyre is Sunfire's cousin and I think she's a mutant too. As for Ebon, he could be used they would just have to change up the whole resurrection thing, and I don't think following a god of chaotic evil would fly well with most parents in general.

You're thinking of another Sunpyre (the one who died). Big Hero 6 Sunpyre is from the Microverse and her powers are derived from her alien physiology. Not mutant. Not Sunfire's cousin.

Well, Disney didn't really stick to the original comic book origins of the characters in the first movie, so why start now?

That's not how copyright laws work. She's nothing but an alternate universe version of an X-Men character. That's like saying that Ultimate Captain America or Ultimate Wolverine are distinctive from the mainline versions. She still has the name and exact likeness of a heroine who was created as part of that franchise.

Something similar goes for Ebon Samurai. He's not a mutant but he's a derivative of a property explicitly owned by Fox (to the extent that Silver Samurai is a major part of his backstory and he dresses in a black version of his costume) so it's unlikely Marvel somehow has access to him.

Thanks for your lesson in how copyright laws work. Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

It's actually more like saying that Rama-Tut (a Fantastic Four villain) is distinctive from Kang (an Avengers villain).

Again, it's not like Disney is going to strictly adhere to the characters'established back stories and/or uniforms from the comics.

And that'd be fine if they went so far as to give her a completely new design and called her Solar Flare or Sky Flame or something then.

Which Marvel already did in the characters' most recent appearances . . .

But is she still called Sunpyre?

There's literally nothing in Sunpyre's backstory that is derivative of Sunfire, though, aside from her name. She's from the Microverse. Her powers aren't mutant. The only thing derivative is her costume, and that's easily changed.

This is also not keeping in mind the very loose rules about who owns what. There isn't a master list, and anything that isn't core X-Men or Avengers can be finagled- this was mentioned when the Twins were announced for AoU.

She's an alternate universe version of of Sunpyre, who was already an X-Men character, and has the same name and costume.

Alonso said it, IIRC, maybe during one of the AiC or in an interview her on CBR.

That's because he's E-I-C and has to obey certain Disney orders. I mean it's not like he has any Disney/Marvel Crossovers in his head that he wants Marvel to do now that they're owned by Disney.

If you know that, then why are asking where the info about the Disney edict came from??? Or why are you always complaining about Marvel not doing anything about BigHero6 comics / promo? It's out of their hands. It's Disney's decision.

[Jody Garland]

She's an alternate universe version of of Sunpyre, who was already an X-Men character, and has the same name and costume.

She's not an alt Sunfire, though. She's some chick from the Microverse who has a reminiscent name and powers. The costume is an nod, though. She's a counterpart created because they couldn't use Sunfire- she has an original backstory, though.
