Disney refuses to let grieving dad put Spider-Man image on four-year-old son’s grave

Stan Lee and Walt would be ashamed. |
Its a Hard Corporation.

They own Spider-Man but they don’t own red faces with vertical and horizontal lines on it. The grieving dad should get a bit creative I think.

I think it's fair, tbh, a spiderman themed grave stone is a bit out there. He could put some kind of spiderman trinket at the grave.
|
Scum!
|
And what if he did it anyway? Surely they wouldn't rip it up, and taking legal action would hurt their image further. I would do it.c

Their best option is probably to buy some sort of official merchandise that's weather-proof and then affix it to the base of the headstone themselves. |
A bit harsh..it wont affect them (or their revenue) in any ****ing way so I cannot see any real reason for refusal.
As if having a kids headstone with his favourite character threatens spidermans 'innocence' :umm2: |
"preserve spidermans innocence? given he could cover the grave with merchandise that seems a bit of an odd excuse

IMO the real reason is that they don't want actual themed headstones to become "a trend". |
it's obviously a corporate response rather than an personal one. Heartless
|
Maybe, but I dn't really get why it would affect disney if themed headstones DID become a trend tbh. They could start selling headstones...or chaging for the right to have a character ( :bored: ) on a kids headstone, another revenue stream for them

A heartless and idiotic move by Disney that will inevitably blow up in their face if this story gets bigger. Whoever made this decision should get sacked for being dumb and risking a huge PR backlash for nothing.

Just a really awful decision in general, with no reasoning that stands up to scrutiny. Edit. Oh, missed the bit about they don't allow their products on urns either..how ridiculous..urns are something that the family keep in their house, not something public! |

Well then he is stuck sadly |
...as much as the headstone wasn’t allowed, I did think their words to his family were lovely and very caring...as was the offer to commemorate one of their treasured fans...RIP Ollie Jones..:lovedup:..
“Although we cannot grant the family’s request, we would be pleased to commemorate your nephew with a hand-inked, hand-painted, personalised celluloid that recognises his love for Spider-Man, which will read: ‘For your _______ (nephew’s name), Thank you for letting us share in the magic of your life. Your friends at the Walt Disney Company. “We feel privileged to have had him as a fan.’” |
Vile and heartless
|
I swear I’ve seen Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs gravestones before :(
Maybe that is just the family doing it themselves Seems heartless. I saw a child’s coffin on Twitter the other day decorated with Paw Patrol characters. |
