EDITORIAL: No More Mutants?

WTH is this crap?

Put this in Editorials dude

Just Speculation, The real Thor will come back in the comics, so will Steve Rogers....The MCU has been releasing great movies, and I do hope they focus on the Inhumans more in the comics, can't wait to see Inhumans come to the big screen and the MCU

First it was Fantastic 4

Now it's X-men

I don't see spiderman up there, so I guess ppl are going to start saying Marvel is getting rid of him too lol

What a joke! I think people overestimate the power that Disney has or asserts as far as comic books go. There's not really any proof that Disney is behind the changes in Marvel Comics. Disney was more interested in the lucrativeness of the MCU and not the comics themselves (hence why they didn't purchase them until after they saw how successful the Avengers would be).

Furthermore, it's a little ridiculous to say that Disney purchasing Marvel is a bad thing, let alone, "the worst thing that ever happened to Marvel" as you put it. Disney hasn't had a ton of recent success producing big live action blockbuster type movies (i.e. Lone Ranger, John Carter), thus they've proved more than willing to bank roll the established properties like Marvel and Star Wars. Disney will throw whatever money necessary into Star Wars and the MCU. Marvel being bought from Disney is like handing Feige a blank check.

I put it in the editorial section. I was hoping to get people's insights on the subject. Sorry of mislabeling it. Here is the excerpt from the CBR Forum
"Get ready to say goodbye to the X-Men.
Most of you reading this will initially react to what i have to say with skepticism. I'm a brand new poster with no posts. That's understandable. But i can only assure you that what i have to say in at this time and present is 100% true and will happen. I obviously can't release my sources but it's actually become an open secret within the marvel offices, and many are NOT happy. There have been a few leaks by various ''in the know'' people who work at marvel within the community and on personal blogs over the last few days. Don't be surprised when other sites/blogs start to come forward with more information soon. Obviously, these leaks on personal blogs have been redacted very quickly. Onto the dire news:

Marvel WILL be rebooting their entire line next summer, and they will be rebooting it without the X-Men. Without mutants at all. This includes Wolverine, Storm & Cyclops. Every mutant is gone. However, The Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver will be reintroduced as Inhumans. Although this won't apply to any other X-Men related characters. Currently unsure what will happen with Namor. It's currently unknown if any of the X-Men will ever return to the comics, but if they do it won't be for quite a while.

The X-Men as we know them will cease to exist by the end of Axis. Whatever this means, the end result is that the X-Men are finished. For the second time in 3 years the Avengers office will be hijacking what's going on in the X-Books to further their own stories, and once again Cyclops, as the face of the X-Men, will be portrayed as a villain. They're having him go full Magneto and he will die at the end of the event in shame. Bendis is NOT happy about having his stories hijacked by the higher ups, but he's going to be documenting Cyclops decent into insanity in the post ''Will'' issues of Uncanny so his characterization in Axis fits. Once Cyclops dies and with Wolverine also dead the X-Men will be reunited under Havok's leadership for a few short weeks in real time until the reboot, where all X-Books will be cancelled. The idea is, with Cyclops dead and buried, Marvel no longer have to worry about their ''mutant problem''. I can also confirm that the Scarlet Witch is the ''hero'' of Axis.

I know it sounds too crazy to be true, but i assure you it all is. There are clues for those who know what to look for ''out there'' already. I will update this thread as myself am updated."

Well I think it's just Marvel banking on the MCU right now. Casual consumers will buy these comics because most of the MCU Avengers are on the cover and that will peak their interest.

As someone who never really cared about the X-Men and also as someone who doesn't read much modern comics (I much prefer the Golden/Silver/Bronze age), I'm completely indifferent about it.




I also don't buy it for a second.

Oh, no!

We're all going to become LEVEL 7 DIZNEY PRINCEZZZZ!!!11!!

The fact that anyone thinks Disney controls the comics. LMFAO.

Never was a Xmen comic fan that much. I read events to keep up with 616, but the whinning, boo-hooing,"O, poor mutant me" bullshit got old years ago. It does sorta suck that Fox seems to be turning it around but i dont blame Disney one bit. I'll bet they have made offers, nice offers, and Fox didnt take them(no obligation on their part). In equal fairness, Disney has 1000s of Marvel heroes to chose from and has shevled characters before for decades. I would Zap them out of existence and leave them in limbo till Fox gives...

Sorry, sucks for xmen fans big time....but business is played to win...Disney is basically saying "Take your mutants and choke on them"

I think Marvel would possibly put these characters in the back burner for the character that they ae displaying in the movies. I highly doubt they will be canceling one of there biggest comic money-makers in X-men.

I mean Disney is [frick]ing stupid in this. Fox will continue to make money off of X-Men movies with or without Disney's support. Unfortunately, the fans get screwed because now Marvel's best team is being cut out of video games, comics, etc. all because Disney is full of a bunch of pricks.

@YoungThanos "So why is Sony.."

That begs a bigger question. Both Cap2 and GotG came in at about 170m to make with abotu 100m to market...ASM2 was reported by deadline at 255m w/ 180m marketing...DoFP around the same.... Also subtract whatever Marvel/Disney takes off the top. In all fairness, kt might be very difficult to continue to make money for both studios. Throw in Marvel get discounted in house Mouse perks, and that hits the bottom line. We can spare that "who made more money" debate (or lack thereof) but some studios may stop doing this because the dollars overall could get better return elsewhere.

They are running out of stories. Gotta expose the second rate heroes

I don't understand anything in this editorial.

I actually like Sam Wilson as Captain America and i don't mind it.

I'm really not sure what to think. I don't mind FOX keeping the X-men and it's universe but at the same time i would not mind if Marvel had the rights back. I wonder if mutants where to be in the MCU would it convoluted it's universe.
