Disney is not against sex - they own ABC which runs Desperate housewives. 
 
Disney is not against violence - they own ESPN which occasionally features boxing, MMA, etc. 
 
Disney is not against adult topics, it created Touchstone to be able to produce movies with sdult themes.  It bought Miramax to be able to support "Indie"-type films. 
 
Just because Disney owns a company, does not make it Disney.  If they take away the name Marvel and put Disney on the comic books, worry.  The Disney name is what they cherish.  I truly believe Marvel will be run as an independent brand under the Disney coporate umbrella, which can only help for all the reasons previously listed.  There are 2 Disneys out there.  Disney coporate and Disney creative.  Disney corporate is a massive, strong corporation now backing up Marvel, as well as bringing greater experience in the movie field to develop their own properties.  Disney creative makes kiddie entertainment.  You may see more Disney comic books, but don't fret for Deadpool or Wolverine.  They'll be fine.  You're just more likely to find them on a toothbrush now. 
 
The musical acts spoken of in the article (Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Hannah Montana) are "Disnified" because that's where they live.  They are under the actual Disney brand, not an offshoot.  They sing on the records, star in the TV shows and movies, and represent Disney solely.  They have to remain safe to keep the trust of parents who buy the stuff for their kids.  Notice Miley Cyrus is now releasing edgier stuff.  She's not releasing it on the Disney label.  She's releasing it under Hollywood Records, a different Disney company.  She can stretch there because it's not on the Disney name.  Just like you can see a show about a pregnant teenager on ABC Family but not on The Disney Channel. 
 
Marvel will be fine and can only become stronger for this

I liked him in the villain role in Face/Off, and particularly when he was playing the villain.  I think Nic is a natural for a comic book villain role with his penchant to go over the top in emotional scenes.  Over the top works better for villains.  And he should be able to play a gangster...he is a Coppola after all.

My worry is that Green Hornet won't find much of an audience.  It's core audience is likely an older crowd that watched the original TV show.  And the older crowd really don't support the superhero genre that well.  Gen X and beyond are really kind of left behind with the whole Green Hornet phenomenon.

And I'll close with my favorite Nic Cage quote from Face/Off.

"If I let...you suck on my tongue...would you be grateful?"

You say this like it's a bad thing...

I'd love a Voltron movie.  It seems to be a little harder beast to sell.  The cartoon and toys weren't quite as big, and the premise is a little more out there.  But I'll go!  As will several of my friends from childhood I'm sure.  so maybe we're enough...

My reasoning is that that tech is advanced beyond anything available to the general public and allows them to achieve superhuman feats, which allows them the mantle of superhero.

"
By this definition, it would seem to put Bats back in the Super category with all his various toys.  You can debate hero until the end of time, and how does that change with the new Batman - but if tech makes you Super, Bats qualifies.
