It's very clear that Epic Mickey is getting a ton of coverage. It's also clear that most people don't bother reading articles before they comment.
In an MSN article about Epic Mickey, many readers latched onto the headline/tagline of the article and nothing else. The headline/tagline reads 'Mickey Mouse gets a face-lift: Disney's updated character will have an edge in the new video game Epic Mickey' People didn't bother to read on and see that Mickey is being taken back to his roots, and that it's up to the player to take on the role of a good or bad Mickey. Just check out some of these comments...
Mickey Mouse is an icon of fun and fantasy...to make him "edgy" by the Walt Disney Company is degrading to their image as a family friendly company...in the long run, this could alienate many Disney followers who spend money for their films, DVD's and theme parks. This may backfire bigtime!!

What a joke! lol Now Mickey is going to be evil? The world is once again turning to ****!

Why does everything nowadays have to be angry? From rap music to video games and now this, why is happy considered a bad thing? We need to laugh more, not less.

Great - a menacing Mickey Mouse. Hey money talks, let's wait and see what happens. Betcha this gets dropped like a hot potato when it gets additional pub in the real world where the silent majority still have some morals and a lot more clout than 'gamers'.
Story Feedback
If we report on stories like this and get upset about it, we're just as reactionary as the people posting those comments.
and wrote not sure...
They just show the image of the scrapper and not the hero mickey so it enrages people. BEsides, classic mickey was not so clean cut...
horny? hahahhahahahahahhahaha wtf?!!?!?!!? OMG! That made my night. lol
I don't think it's fair that no one is giving Disney one tiny chance at this darker-side of storytelling. This seems up there with Nightmare Before Christmas. But I mean one game is not going to make the world see mickey as a frightening character.
No, people just read the title and then comment the article. Don't fret over it lol, they're just dumb
More like the world's gone to **** because there's so many ignorant people out there.
Still, this is pretty funny
But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure Warren Spector has a deeper passion and understanding of the character than any of these guys.
Don't these people do their homework?
"WHAT. That's SOOOO stupid! Mickey can never be cool or evil, that's so dumb!"
and then I actually FINISHED talking:
"Oh. Cool."
XD Some people just don't get it XD
mickey has gone so ebbil!
this world is being destroyed!
i want them all to see some disney rule 34
that would be AWESOME, muahahaha
Btw, I can't hear the word "epic" anymore. It lost all it's weight.
guess there are dumb people all over the internet.
Gamers [in general] are stupid suckers. Who knew?
