aha, so with this business-history lesson you are essentially confirming his argument; by saying that Fox with "Apocalypse" wanted to play-it-save a la Marvel, but still allowed an out-of-the-formula project. Which in the end gave us two innovative, R-rated superhero movies (Deadpool, Logan), while Disney-Marvel despite their big output have none so far.
I usually don't do this at home, but in this regard I and everybody who is sick of stale formula products must concur with "Fuck Disney"

Not really, my argument was that Fox didn't really care about Deadpool and wanted to put all their chips on X-Men: Apocalypse for it to be one of if not their biggest release of the year, but as it turned out the film they didn't have too much care in from the start outdid the one they were far more attentive to and had much more creative control over.
When you really think about it, Deadpool owes more to Marvel Studios than it does with the previous X-Men installments, as the majority of references to Marvel Studios/Disney is done a more respecting kind of way whereas a few of the X-Men-on-film jokes were also criticisms on Fox's handling of the material - the inconsistent timelines, for one. Speaking of which, the story revolving those X-Men comics in Logan and Wolverine's attitude towards them seemed like a play on how the studio viewed those books when adapting them to movies - the less accurate and visually ashamed they were the worse they got but the more accurate and embracive the better they were( even if they had to play in the sandbox established with the weaker entries).
Should be noted that Deadpool's director Tim Miller was working on a Marvel Studios production and was encouraged to leave and put all attention on directing Deadpool by several higher ups from the studio, including directors Joe and Anthony Russo. Many team players for Marvel Studios expressed love and appreciation for Deadpool after it release, including its faces RDJ, Chris Evans, and Chris Pratt.
