"Fox understood the X-Men more than Marvel ever will..."

I'm tired of this. It's not worth discussing anymore.

Fox-Men fans have two years to enjoy the remaining output of their beloved cinematic universe. I assure you, if the Fox/Disney deal passes regulatory, there will be no sick merger of universes and no stay of execution. After it's over, Fox-Men fans can enjoy their precious universe, which they hold above the source material, on home video.

If you think that only one era of the X-Men comics is relevant or worthy of your attention, you're not an X-Men fan. You are dilettante and just a fan of a specific period of X-Men publications. The full heritage of the X-Men, starting with the classic team and progressing on to Uncanny is all a part of the X-Men's legacy.

IMO - The X-Men films don't acknowledge the depth of the interpersonal relationships between the characters frequently featured in the source material. The movies recycle the same themes of bigotry and intolerance over and over again and it has become tedious and boring.

The Fox X-Men universe is dead, long live the X-Men.
