Kevin Feige Is Waiting On The Phone Call That Will Let Him Bring The X-MEN Into The MCU

@Dersgnar - I get there are the staunch anti-Disney AND/OR anti-MCU folks; to each his/her own. What I don't understand is why people feel so strongly against Marvel reacquiring THEIR OWN properties; it's like, "How dare they try to regain control of the very characters they created and innovated" -- ya' know, like everybody else.

I dunno.

@Dersgnar - I could wait a bit for X-Men but the Fantastic Four property needs a much sooner revival. A swift injection to the cosmic MCU. If not for the team itself, then for all the characters the F4 franchise has threaded into the Marvel universe over the years. Can't do Annihilation without Annihilus. Apparently, can't even do Kang because for an absurd reason he is wrapped in the F4 rights instead of the Avengers, whom he is a major recurring villain for. Besides, I'd like to see Peter Parker and Johnny Storm team-up to build a car that can drive up walls.

@EskimoJ - there are actually individuals on here who would rather the property STAY fox?! Some people are impossible to please. It has to suck a giraffe tallywacker living life necer having satisfaction. If they aren't clinging to Wilding's scrotum they are sobbing like a 15 year old girl. I must be crazy for liking both Marvel AND DC and their respected properties. I

@JosephCronos92 -

I'm 6 posts in, and it is folks talking about 'these people' against the Disney-Fox deal celebrating Comcast disrupting the deal. I read more than I post here, and the majority seem to be MCU-heavy on their opinions. So where are these commenters that bash on the MCU and ridiculing the MCU regularly?

Even when Fox or Sony news comes out, it seems to be comments about 'wish these were back at Marvel' quite often. Or with WB/DC, it is what a dog something is going to be before it is even released.

Or is that just imagination?

@KillerCroc357 -

It's a mix bag. MCU always makes "hits" because they are formulaic, so their movies are all the same with different genre blends. Fox is always a "hit/miss" but more creative to the extent where they let their directors do "anything" because they don't earn merchandise sales. Disney is primarily aimed at "kids" and "merchandising" so there is a line they won't cross. Logan and Deadpool would never have been made because killing characters and trash-talking other franchises hurt merchandising.

On the business side Disney already has too much assets. They own many movie, news stations, channels, etc. They want Fox for Sky Ent, not for F4/X-men. Sky Ent is the biggest media company in the UK and Rupert Murdoch owns 40% of that company. Disney wants to buy Murdoch's 40% and an additional 20% afterwards to own majority. Governments and people "all over the world are protesting" this buyout because "Disney execs/shareholders" will control the "media/news" and push their own agendas like...hydra

@mastakilla39 - And the only big merger that the US government seems to be challenging is AT&T Time Warner. Accusations of “fake news” anyone?

@mastakilla39 - The point of my last comment, which you seem to have totally missed is that the first large merger challenged by the US Justice Department in decades just happens to include a news outlet that Trump sees as one of his enemies. Not saying that it shouldn’t be challenged, but appearances are telling.

@Dersgnar - it’s the idea of future movies like Logan and Deadpool no longer existing.

The mcu is fun and all, but it’s nice to have an alternative. Deadpool 2 and infinity war were so wildly different, I wasn’t bored with superheroes by the time it was all said and done.

Personally, I hate the idea of an mcu Deadpool movie. But, I do think the mcu should be whole.
