Disney got started by recycling fairy tales with happy endings instead of sad endings the original books had.<p>Marvel, Star Wars, etc got recycled as well. Marvel got an all brand new universe after destroying Earth-616 and the Ultimate universe to make Secret Wars, and then after Secret Wars they changed things up in the comic books. Star Wars they basically rewrote Episode 4 A New Hope as Episode 7 The Force Awakens by changing the character names and roles. All of this is focused on the young that didn&#x27;t watch or read the original materials. Disney is youth focused, so us older people in our childhood we had things different in Marvel and Star Wars, and under Disney they have been recycled and changed for a global market now instead of just the USA, etc.<p>There was a time when the Disney Channel was stealing ideas from Nickelodeon for shows with teens&#x2F;tweens. But now owning Marvel and Star Wars they can make shows based on those characters on their own channel without having to steal ideas from others.
