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. Deadpool wasn't that good, it's mainly just an MCU movie with sex and gore. Logan got the reception it did because of the artificial boost from being Jackman's Swan Song. Plus, the FoX-Men fans are the ones who started this "conflict" to begin with. Not MCU's fault they can't own up.
