If they leave it alone the way WB leaves DC alone, we'll be fine. Lots of higher budget cartoons and dvds. But they're not WB. they're Disney and Disney has a very strong sense of their brand. Which does not include blood. If you think the Marvel characters are watered down and whored out now, wait six months.
There's a positive note here. Ten years ago, Marvel was bankrupt. They were being passed from investor to investor. The fact that they're worth 4 billion now says a lot. About Hollywood.

They often avoid blood on the Disney branded products, but they have done plenty of "non-Disney" stuff through Touchstone pictures. So all is not lost.
Disney bought Pixar three years ago, and let them do their thing. They may do the same here.
And I believe Sony owns Spider Man and Fox owns FF, so Disney doesn't have total control...yet.
Sony and Fox own the LICENSE for Spidey and X-men movies, but now Disney owns the characters. BIG difference.
First Disney ruins Times Square now this?
It can't be all that bad. Maybe a team-up with Mickey and Goofy is just what the Spider Man franchise needs.
