I don't know why this is just interesting to me. Every once in a while I'll hear someone say MCU is focused on nobodies and we need the xmen but the xmen (and fantastic 4) can't even make Thor numbers ... Copied to Clipboard!

Movies in general have become more profitable than they were back when the Xmen movies were being released. Especially if they're Disney, including the MCU or Star Wars. Just look at the highest-grossing films of all time and see how many of them are relatively recent releases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films ... Copied to Clipboard!

X-Men movies alternate between dumpster fire and freaking awesome. So each bad one negatively affects the earning potential of the next good one ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also, GOTG were barely even D-list when the movie was announcedBoth of these. A lot of people forget how many of the most popular MCU characters were "nobodies" before getting their movies.

When he was introduced and talked all Shakesperian and was more serious you'd struggle to find an MCU Thor fan lol. --- Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all.

Can we stop pretending that Guardians of the Galaxy was an underdog? You could add a raccoon with a gun to literally any movie and it would sell.

From what I understand, Hulk and Thor had their media rights tied up in the 90s and that's why they didn't get as much exposure. Hulk received a cartoon and a video game. Thor got nada. Even in the Avengers video games, Hulk and Thor were absent. I'm not sure who held the media rights to them, but I know that Hulk was appearing regularly in Capcom games by the mid-90s. ...
