Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire". In the tech sector, the companies of Silicon Valley (e.g. HP, IBM, Netscape, Oracle, etc.) referred to Microsoft in Redmond, Washington as the "Evil Empire" because Microsoft's goal was to have a monopoly on the tech sector. In the CBM industry, Marvel Studios would be the equivalent "Evil Empire" that's trying to wipe out the DCEU, Fox, and Sony and have a monopoly on CBMs.

Except they're not trying to wipe them out. I've seen many comments from those high up in Marvel Studios who've given praise to some of these other movies like Wonder Woman and Logan.
Sony own the rights to Spider-man and they chose to share the rights with Marvel Studios.
Disney is buying Fox, a deal so massive that Marvel Studios getting the rights to X-men and Fantastic Four is chump change in the grand scheme of things.
Fox already wiped out Fantastic Four itself.
The Spider-man movies had been making less and less money with each movie ever since the original movie with the exception of Spider-man 3's worldwide gross.
The DCEU is also wiping itself out by making multiple movies that people don't like and announcing movies that people don't want.

Lucky no one listens to them. All of the Avengers were in the anti-Trump ads but their failure ensured that the de-nuclearistion of North Korea can go ahead.

In the CBM industry, Marvel Studios would be the equivalent "Evil Empire" that's trying to wipe out the DCEU, Fox, and Sony and have a monopoly on CBMs. Or maybe they just want their characters, which they lost due to mis-management over the decades, under one roof. How would owning those characters wipe out Sony and Fox? And DCEU are damaging themselves by making films that are generally considered lacklustre...or are you admitting that MCUs product is so much better that DCEU is suffering. |

No, MCU's product isn't better. What I'm saying is that DCEU (like the companies in Silicon Valley that Microsoft wanted to wipe out) is the underdog going up against an Evil Empire that's trying to have a monopoly on the industry. But in the end Evil Empires lose. The Soviet Union fell. And a federal judge ruled that Microsoft violated federal anti-trust laws. |

It's called winning and there's nothing evil about it. The last refuge of a loser is to claim the winner is evil. When I say loser, I'm referring to the butt hurt fanboys and not WB or DC or Fox or Sony.
Disney, Marvel, WB, DC, Sony, and Fox don't even view this as a contest. It's just business as usual.

Well, they most certainly do view it as a contest in the context of business competition. They're in many ways competing for the same audience. |

But in the end Evil Empires lose. The Soviet Union fell. And a federal judge ruled that Microsoft violated federal anti-trust laws. The tech industies and CBM cannot be compared. If Marvel want to buy THEIR characters back that is not creating a monopoly. DCEU still have their's. If DCEU is "wiped out" by this action it's not because they have their entire roster back - according to quora DC has over 10,000 characters at it's disposal, Marvel around 7,000 possibly as many as 15 - it's because DCEU is not providing a product the public want. So far MCU has had more success with the characters it does own at the moment than the complete catalogue DC/Warners own...Marvel obtaining the rights to some of their own characters I doubt will alter the status quo. The sooner you stop looking at Marvel and DC as good guys and bad guys, and the sooner you stop thinking that the success of one can only be down to some underhand tactics used by unrelated organisations, the sooner you'll stop wasting your time starting utter shite threads like this. And you talk of an "Evil Empire" in comics...maybe you should look into what DC did to Fawcett comics, or how they tried to prevent Marvel comics being printed in the 70s when they owned the printworks |

It's called winning and there's nothing evil about it. The last refuge of a loser is to claim the winner is evil. It's called monopoly or world domination and it most certainly is evil. And Evil Empires are losers, not winners. The Soviet Union lost the Cold War. And Microsoft lost a federal anti-trust lawsuit. There'll always be Evil Empires whose goal is monopoly or world domination. And inevitably, those Evil Empires always lose. Marvel Studios is just another Evil Empire trying to have a monopoly but they'll inevitably lose, just like the previous Evil Empires did. |

DC-Fan is a pitiful troll. He adds nothing of value to this site, just one troll thread after another.

But at least admit the MCU is an empire. Now that's power. |
