Laughable statement. Fox has only been a "disaster" with X-Men origins Wolverine out of the 10 X-based films, which had a very negative critical reception but still had a WW gross greater than X1 and First Class. Then you can make a claim for Apocalypse with at the very worst was a mixed reception yet still did over $500M WW. Stop trying to put your own biased spin on it, the rest are far from "disaster" as you can get. Fan4stic is z certified flop.
I also notice you bragged on a "gross greater than X1 and First Class" and left out that Fox lags far behind Marvel, WB, and even Sony in box office achievements. Again...the only movie they ever produced that got above 250 domestic was Deadpool. And they barely cared about that one...giving it a small budget and letting Reynolds and Miller do it their way. Very telling that the one movie they didn't care about is the one the public liked the most.
So yeah...it's been a disaster. How do you have the rights to the X-men and FF characters and lag so far behind the other studios at the box office? FF are comic legends and the X-men are the most popular comic post 70s. Yet Fox somehow can't get the public to care about them.
They turned the X-men into Wolverine and Friends and that's not a disaster? Are we not supposed to notice what they did to Dark Phoenix, Dr Doom, Galactus, Rogue, Storm, Silver Surfer, and Cyclops? Fox is a trainwreck who have wasted more great characters than any studio I can think of. People complain about WB wasting Green Lantern and Superman lately....they've got NOTHING on Fox.
Maybe things will change at Fox now that Jackman is gone and they will be forced to rely on real stories instead of just typing out one Logan story after another with all his angst. They even somehow managed to make Dark Phoenix all about him instead of it being about Jean and Scott. Their literary rape of the Fantastic Four will live in infamy for generations. The biggest joke there is that they are still trying to make more of those! It's a bad joke of a studio when it comes to comic book movies.
