Mavel vs Toei

acdcguy · 01-08-2015, 01:37 PM

Does Marvel/Disney share the rights to Battle Fever J and Denziman with Toei or is it a sole Toei property? Also, now that Japan's Spider-Man is being brought to the USA by Marvel, will this open the door to Battle Fever J and Denziman comics (for modern audience assuming if there were or were not comics for US audiences in the 1980s)?

No it won't open the door. Leopardon & Spider-Man being in the book is just a one-off reference if anything. Simply because Spider-Verse involves every spider-hero in the multiverse. There is zero chance that american Battle Fever J or Denziman comics will ever be a thing. There simply isn't a market for that.

Optimistic much?

Japanese Spider-Man showing up was fan service to the hardcore fans. Den-O is right since a comic based on Battle Fever J and Denziman won't likely sell well since it's based on a niche TV show from over 35 years ago. I think the people would likely buy into a Battle Fever J comic are the hardcore Toku fans and Sentai/Power Ranger fans like us. Besides that, it's not really enough.

Yet everyone is still ignoring the first part of the question

It's just being realistic. Marvel may have helped produce the series, but considering they didn't use any previously established characters, I doubt Marvel/Disney has much stake in BFJ or Denziman.
It was just a fun little nod to the people who'd get it.

But does Marvel/Disney share the rights with those 2 sentai series with Toei or not? That's the main question.

Very unlikely.

From what I heard that Battle Fever J and Denziman fan subs get taken down mostly in part by people a part of the Marvel Comics team.

Unfounded rumors in a fandom full of unfounded rumors.
