well, I'm not a comic or DC-fan (read the last one before hitting puberty a while ago) but that assessment of yours deems me to be pretty bad, dude - esp considering the exorbitant success of WW (a female led origin CMB beating all other origin movies) and the even more incredible success the Suicide Dreck (despite the latter's dubious quality on Hulk turd level). People just want to see fresh faces after decades of the same characters; MCU just came and delivered. Apart from this, DC is iconic since ever unlike Marvel which is a mere upstart. And let's discuss DCEU's merits after only 4 movies vis-a-vis 16+ MCU movies, shall we? (remember this comes from an innocent bystander, not a DC fan) Last but not least, MCU will never claw back the Fox-Men, and that is an unrelated yet deeply encouraging and rewarding parting thought. You have the right to accept your defeat by remaining silent   ...send Colden my regards. The MCU doesn't need X-men. They've made $12.6 billion at the box office becoming the highest grossing movie franchise ever without them. They have Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, The Avengers, Ant-man, Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel. They won't lose any sleep by not having one other property. I did not insinuate that MCU needed the X-Men commercially, they currently do not. Rather, the X-Men need to be shielded from the greedy clutches of MCU to artistically prosper further; we would never have gotten a quality, out of the box film like Logan or even Deadpool under Disney-MCU dictatorship, it would have been all the same kiddy-friendly play-it-safe formula. Apart from that, MCU seems to have all its eggs in the cinematic basket without a varied media portfolio. When the CBM bubble bursts - and they usually burst when ppl deem it least likely - there will be much more crucial things that Marvel Studio will lose than sleep. Hence all the passive-aggressive, petty bullying towards Fox-Men.
