I know I am. I've been praying to Jack Kirby every night to save the cinematic fate of the ultimate Marvel A-listers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, from the greedy and sinister clutches of the stunted slime running the House of Mouse, including the Nazi war criminal Kathleen Kennedy. Innit?
Guys, I'm worried about the XCU...

Whoever wins, I just hope they stop making X-Men movies. They've all been abysmal so far.

Disney will eventually outbid them or buy out the Marvel portions.

The X-Men franchise is horribly inconsistent. Universal may not know how to handle a franchise either. Basically it doesn't matter who has X-Men since they can't ruin a mediocre franchise.

Now why the hell would anyone want the XCU to fall with Comcast instead of MCU? What has Comcast done that is better than the MCU?

For one thing they haven't flooded the market with mediocre, if harmless, movies about D-list jobbers that've totally distorted modern audiences' bar for what's even worthy of a movie, let alone what makes a compelling superhero one. Innit? Mostly they just rip people off with terrible cable service. I welcome their stewardship of the XCU with open arms!!!1

It still might end up with MCU getting X-Men and/or FF. The (seperate) licensing agreements for them may contain wording that does not allow the transfer of to a third party even through the purchase of Fox, resulting in reverting back to Marvel. Comcast purchase may still mean Marvel get one or both (or none) of their properties back.

No I'd like to see Marvel Studios get them by now.
Theres been three different versions of the Fantastic Four movies and they've all been considered a failure. So there's nothing to lose there.
X-men has been pretty good for the most part. Some of them have been great but at this point I don't think there's much more left for them to do and I think they're running out of steam.

No, I've not $60B or $100B to spare so I don't care really. Though the thread wars are entertaining.

Solid counter argument, interesting insights about FF. Hard to believe they draw a dime with them no matter what they do. You know Disney would make a cool billion off them immediately.

As far back as I can remember, I was a impartial outsider at first. Then the flailing DCEU drafted me into their ranks. I deserted and was branded a criminal with a bounty on my head. The MCU boards took me in. Trained me in the science of artificial boosters. We faced intermittent but persistent resistance from a splinter group known only as the X-tremists. The DCEU suffered a great loss in the year 2017. They had Justice League but we had a Hulk.

No, Disney is a better place for Fox to sell their film and TV assets to for the long haul. The financial gain they'd get from Comcast would be short-lived.

They wouldn't be getting a "financial gain" from anybody. They would be subsumed by either corporation, who would -- if anything -- become a parent company. Fox will, for all intents and purposes, cease to exist. The financial gain (or loss) would be Disney's or Comcast's. ETA: by Fox here, I naturally mean the piece(s) of it being sold, i.e. "Twentieth Century Fox." I realize that "Fox" would still exist autonomously and produce sports, news, etc.
