There has been more than enough chatter in our comments sections to know that we fans are not happy with the way most of our favorite Marvel characters are portrayed on screen. Marvel Studios has given us two of the best comic book movies we've seen, Iron Man & The Incredible Hulk.; movies that have given fans hope for their future projects. Here's where the problem arises: the Marvel movie universe will NEVER be complete without the ability to intertwine Spider-Man, the X-Men, Daredevil and the Fantastic Four into the same continuity as the Avengers. It's time they put their money to good use and buy back their character's rights that are currently held by other studios.
We need to take a more active role and let the executives at Disney and Marvel know how we feel. Below you'll find the petition I've created. Let's see if we can garner enough support to make the big wigs take notice:
To: Disney & Marvel Entertainment
We are your loyal customers. We've purchased your comics and merchandise for most of our lives.
We are your avid supporters. We've followed the history of your comic characters from beginning to end and back again. We've welcomed new writers and illustrators, as well as their diverse character interpretations, with open arms.
We do not wish to see anymore of our beloved characters portrayed in movies that do not showcase their true potential.
We do not want to see the essence that made these characters great destroyed by studios that only wish to make a quick buck.
We are tired of trying to convince the general movie-going audience that your characters are fictional masterpieces after a horrible film shows them as otherwise.
We are frustrated seeing mediocre films that could and should have been great.
We are your true fans, the backbone of your industry.
And we implore you to find a way in which to bring these lost heroes home. Buy their rights back from Sony, Fox, Universal and anyone else who does not deserve to have them.
Do whatever it takes to finally give us what we've been missing: a united Marvel Cinema Universe. It has the potential to revolutionize comic based movies, and solidify your high ranking place in the film industry.
I know, at times, we seem hard to please. That is only because we care so much about these characters; they've touched each of our lives in one way or another. Is it too much to ask for you to back this endeavor when it will be both enormously pleasing to fans and prove financially lucrative for you?
We know it is not. We know that now is the time for these measures to be taken. And we hope, at least now, you know it too.
