The Marvel Studios/Fox debate has gone on for a while, with fans arguing over which studio puts out the better films. Much like Kevin Feige who commented on the DC vs Marvel battle, director Bryan Singer has a few words to say., “It’s not healthy for us,” says Singer. “I’ll tell you why: they’re both comic-books and at some point you can expand the universes, that’s where the comparison ends. He continued, “The Marvel universes – particularly Avengers and Iron Man – are… and it sounds defensive, and it is defensive, but only because people make comparisons between [X-Men: Days Of Future Past] and The Avengers, which is ludicrous. Is it though? Both franchises are juggling a large ensembe of characters, and fans have been very criticial of Wolverine's involvement in the X-Men franchise, feeling that he's the centre of attention, hogging the spotlight from the other X-Men characters.
“It’s very different universes,” said the director. “The appeal is different and to try and do the same thing… this in an ‘inbetweequel’, OK, of two ensemble films, Avengers and the Marvel movies are individual franchises based on major characters that’s why there are some Marvel characters in Avengers that don’t have their own movie, because I don’t know if they had their own movie anyone would be that interested. Singer continued to talk about how the average joe will not recognise the other X-Men characters outside of Wolverine, “We’re the bastard stepchild of the comic-book universe, you can go to my mom and she knows who Captain America is but you try and explain to her who Deadpool is? She doesn’t even know the Hulk – ‘You know, the Hulk! Green! Big guy!’ – so Gambit?
