That formula has worked for Marvel with 17 movies over the last 9 years. They have all been successful critically and commercially. Why do they need to change something that isn't broken?

Fine but that's not the point discussed. We discuss that Fox-Men dares to do different, original and adult things, and that these artistic merits would likely be lost if Marvel claws the IP back. And you argue that clinging to the same children-orientated MCU formula repetition is fine because MCU are currently so successful. All the more a reason to be glad that X-Men do not go to MCU.

Comics are full of light hearted jokes and faux deaths. It's been like that for decades.

And Graphic Novels are full of dark jokes and real deaths. It's been like that for decades. So what? Let's not destroy graphic novels by integrating them into MCU, no?

There's always the Netflix shows if you want to see a R rated dark MCU experience.

We are talking about artistic merits in movies and the consequences of X-Men going back to Marvel Studios. And no thanks, I have seen some netflix shows. While some of them seem a tad more mature than MCU movies, I would hardly call that dark or R-rated. To each his own.

Ehhhh I'd say X-men dared to be different and original because they kinda had to. The budget for the X-men movies became so big by X-men 3 that they went with the prequel root for First Class to lessen the budget.

The Wolverine made a considerable amount less than X-men Origins Wolverine in the US so they would be more willing to take the chance and make it R if they thought a third movie would just follow the same pattern.

Deadpool they never expected to be the massive success that it was, it had a small budget so making it R rated wasn't really taking a big chance.

Marvel hasn't been in a similar position yet. All it's sequels are successful and they don't make small movies.

The Netflix shows were pretty R rated. Kingpin smashed that one guys head in with a car door until he was decapitated, he bashed his dad's skull in with a hammer, Punisher's Prison fight scene was violent, Jessica Jones brought up rape, that one dude ate out the blonde woman's snatch adams. You aren't going to find things like that in X-men Dark Phoenix.

X-men is doing fine on its own though, it doesn't need the MCU.
