WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MARVEL GAVE THE TV RIGHTS OF X-MEN TO FOX
As of today, we have read about a TV series in development; Yet, we know that Marvel owns the TV rights for X-Men. What would this mean, we ask. Could it be amazing? Could it mean that Marvel looses grasp of X-Men comics? Would we see many different kinds of series? Here is my Theory
WHAT IF FOX GOT THE TV RIGHTS TO MARVEL'S X-MEN
NOTE: Before you read this article I want to clarify, I am a neutral on this and I am not against Marvel, nor Fox.
So as of today, we heard about a tv show that is in development by FOX. That tv show is X-Men. Finally having heard nothing about this tv show, we learn that it was not a rumor. So as I said in the intro, I am not against Fox or Marvel, so Marvel Fans or Fox Fans please don't attack.
We ask, where the tv rights lie, well the are with Marvel. Well, then how can Fox be making a TV show? See, Fox is negoiting to gain the TV rights for X-Men from Marvel. Although, Fox is far from gaining the rights, what if they get the rights and make a tv show around 2016-17 (which was said in the article). What would we see? Would it dominate the comic tv shows out there currently? Would it fail? Would Marvel loose the only grasp (besides the comics) they had with The X-Men? or, Will Fox mess it up? Well, I am going to give my theory to these set of questions.
Question 1 : What would we see?
I ask this in terms of watching the tv show, what would be based on. I think it would be based on the X-Factor Invesitgations. That would be the obivious choice, seeing that few months back, we heard that a tv show was in development and that it would be based on The X-Factor Investigations. See, I may be wrong but thats what was said a few months back. Next to this, Visual Effects, would it be good ones or terrible ones. See, this is up for opinion, there are many characters that could be used but its all about the budget: I WOULD RATHER SEE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THAN A FEW ACTION SCENES.
Question 2: Whould it dominate teh comic tv shows out there, currently
In my opinion, If the tv show is done right, then i see why I it would not dominate. Having said that,
what if the Comic Book Era is done by the time this show comes on. I mean, we are getting a handful of tv shows, this year of 2015. In terms of dominate, I strictly mean ratings wise. I think many more people would watch this show more then other comic tv shows because it has had seven succesful films, meaning box office, of backing behind it.
Question 3: Would It fail and would Fox mess it up?
Those are two questiosn that are quite similar. When i mean having it fail, I mean having done poorly, bad viusal effects, little character development, bad script. Although, Fox has delivered fantasic films, there are some that havent been as great. (I AM NOT THROWING SHADE AT FOX)
Question 4: Would Marvel loose the only grasp they had to the X-Men?
Again, another opinationed question, but an important one. I say Yes and No, just because it would make it very difficult for Marvel to gain those rights back, if it was given to Fox. Plus, think about the animated tv shows, we wouldnt see the X-Men anymore (I am assuming on that one). Then i say, yes, because they will have there comics and devlop those characters thier own way. But, I think it would be hard because they would not have a chance to bring those characters to life on animated shows at the very least.
Thank you for reading this article, and again I am not on any side: Marvel or Fox, i just gave my opinion. Please comment what you think about the show or any of the questions i listed.
