Disney has never been fond of Avengers: EMH. They missed airing several episodes of the first season, first season never had a specific schedule they bothered to adhear to. They however love USM, and second season EMH only has stability because of USM.
On top of that, Disney wanted it to be more about Ironman and Captain America than the other avengers, hense them dumping major storylines for Thor and Hulk mid season, and hurrying to wrap up the scrull storyline.
Also, Avengers is not an in-house production, like USM. It was independent and was being shopped to the highest bidding network, like Wolverine and the X-Men. Disney aquired it because that was around the time they bought Marvel.
Not to mention that EMH has been cancelled so it can be replaced with an avengers series that for what we've heard, is more in line with USM.
So, interperate that as you will. I don't see them as examples of what we could expect for Hasbro shows, but I can understand why these two examples worry people.
That's more or less true about avengers, though it was marvel in house made just had no network to be aired on until disney bought Marvel. The problem came from the media staff shake up though and the appointment of Jeph Loeb. Though tbh, I can't honestly say I'm sure of Yost in charge there either. He has some mild subconcious anti-women order of event choices and dialogue. The shift from emh to USM style is because of Jeph Loeb's interaction with man of action on USM. The idea is an avengers by them(man of action) in movie style would be epic. How that pans out has yet to be seen. (Jeph Loeb is also the man that caused Heroes to nose dive.) Whedon's helping on the live though. That should keep those good at least.
My only hope is with this timing of redoing the series, they opt to go the path of making one censored for younger audiences, and one uncensored for adult audiences, but we'll see.
The problem I was pointing out before though comes from what all the deal entails after, it seems disney lost employees during the marvel buyout aftermath. Disney has more or less stayed hands off. I don't see much difference towards hasbro except better toy shelf exposure. Hasbro does have the age groups paired up all around pretty well. Rescue Bots, Transformers, GI Joe, MLP, Jem, Not to mention the backlog still untapped like their fantasy based series, future series, tech series, monster series, building block series, gameboards, etc. A hungry hungry hippos tmnt spoof movie sounds like perfect disney fodder too.
