ParanoidObsessive 08/26/19 10:14:41 PM #119:	It's not even as if this is the first time Disney/Marvel has done stuff like this. Marvel's basically been sabotaging its own most popular franchise for more than a decade because they didn't control the film rights - and their attitude internally was basically "If we cannot make ALL of the money off this property, then no one should make any money off this property". This isn't even speculation - people in the company have outright stated that was always their motivation as creators. "Why waste effort working on a title if you don't make as much money from its success? Focus on the properties you fully own and devote all your energy to making those better and half-ass the others." X-Men was Marvel's #1 franchise for 30 years, but the combination of Fox owning the right and Marvel Studios being forced to use the Avengers for their films meant they actively de-pushed X-Men in favor of trying to cash in on the film's success to elevate the Avenger titles. The most popular X-Men were outright folded into Avengers' teams, and they were moved to the center of most company-wide crossovers in the same way the X-Men had been since the mid-80s. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four was outright cancelled for years because, in their words, "Why advertise for someone else's movies?". With the Fox properties now back under Disney/Marvel's umbrella, odds are we're going to see the comics re-emphasized. But we're also going to see the MCU pivot towards incorporating those properties as well, or having them run as a sort of parallel MCU of their own. With Kevin Feige in charge of plotting them out and integrating them, because Disney sees him as the #1 reason the Marvel movies have done so well compared to other mega-franchises. It's also been mentioned that Feige is currently doing tons of research on the X-Men so he can pick out which ideas to use and which to avoid, so Disney has strong motivation to keep him from getting distracted working on Spider-Man for Sony. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:926589084] in Valley of ...
