Like what, the sudden ability to sing?
We can only hope. The pain I have seen on my son when he wants to read a good decent comic and instead has to read the stuff that is out now. He just gave up.
I can see this happening easily. Knowing Disney I think they will do the minority heroes first. So I can definitely see a big budget Black Panther movie getting made now. I mean they already made one. I hear it was pretty good.
They used to do this all the time in 60's and 70's so it would not be something new. I have seem worse ideas.
Especially from the folks at Marvel and other people in the industry:

Steve Wacker: Deadpool is now called Alivepool...
Dan Slott: Squirrel Girl on Toon Disney. Hey, it could happen...
Steve Wacker: I'm not sure why, but I have four fingers...
Warren Ellis: So I got this phone call from Joe Quesada and it was just the sound of him rubbing himself with money and now I am confused...
Brian Lynch: First Disney/Marvel collaboration: Hannah Montana refuses to reveal secret identity, goes to war with Iron Man. Iron Man wins easily...
Good point - without something to interest children, where will the future adult comics readers come from?
I second your
!Whilst I feel the pain and anguish of Marvel superhero fans in this time of change, as a creator of a small press "sex focused" comic, I must say your sweeping generalisation is totally unfair. There is a vast world of excellent stuff in multitudinous genres and styles out there.
One possible benefit of this is that the CrossGen material Disney bought up might come back into print via Marvel, either as part of the Marvel multiverse or a separate imprint.
I would imagine Marvel will take over the Disney comicbook licenses in a few years when the Boom! Studios contracts expire.

I wouldn't worry too much folks.
Disney once owned Dimension films, which produces all those R-rated horror films filled with nudity, violence, violence, and more violence.
Likewise, they own Touchstone which used to be how they did PG/PG-13 films and still do R films.
Ownership is about business, IE money.
They won't mess with things too much considering Marvel Films has been highly profitable. It'll likely remain as is.
As far as existing deals with other companies for films, they'll remain intact. It's simply that post such films, Disney will likely handle distribution of future films in those franchises through itself or another subsidiary.
In other words, don't fret much for the future of the marvel films. Disney didn't buy them to change things. They bought them for the future earnings, not only film wise, but comic wise.

I have no pain, as I am actually quite happy at this purchase, if I really have an opinion about it at all.
Also, I didnt call all indie comics "sex obsessed", I said that the vast majority of indie comics out there, the ones that actually manage to avoid being badly written or badly drawn, are either all about sex, all about uber violence or all about some "high art", pretentious nonsense, or a combination of all three different content types.
There may be one or two good indie comics out there, but they are few and far between, all you have to do is look at any of the ones published within a particular month to see that.
It would be great if the realms of indie comics were home for classic after classic, but they arent. As I said, the vast majority are crap, both in content and production values.
No good will come from this.
