Title: Disney stole our slogan!
Post by: Klendarin on September 02, 2013, 05:37:00 PM
My son just asked me to watch the Phineas and Ferb/Marvel crossover episode.  At one point, when all of the Marvel characters had been stripped of their powers but were about to take on the bad guys anyway, Iron Man says "We're heroes.  This is what we do."

No no no, my friend. What they did is give us the chance to turn our slogan into a Youtube clip from freaking Iron Man. 8)

Waitaminute....we sent a proposal to Disney to bring our game back. Our slogan is "We're heroes. This is what we do." Disney uses our slogan in one of their TV shows. This must be subliminal message to all former CoH players that Disney will be bringing back our game!

Or maybe it's just a sign they are about to trademark the phrase and dare anyone to try and use it without their permission.

I'm not saying Disney deliberately did it because of us, or that we made up the saying. I'm saying that, oh look, here's a clip of Iron Man using our chosen catch phrase. What a coinkydink.

*pounce*

I don't trust disney. Knowing them, and their batallion of lawyers, they probabaly did something legal to say, "nope, is our slogan".

yeah. I rather have the government lawyers on my case rather than disney's lawyers. They could sue someone for trademark infringement for having a Mickey Mouse hairline naturally and probably will win.

They are known to be some of the best corporate lawyers in the world.

There's not a lot of competition where they're from, though. They do live in a small world, after all.
