And that's worth thousands of Fox employees losing their jobs and their kids going hungry during what should be the most wonderful time of the year? Ah so you've moved on from valiant no tolerance crusader against pedophilia to concerned employment advocate, huh? Nice concern trolling. For the record, I think it's terrible people are losing jobs over this. Considering FOX were the ones selling, I see it more as their fault unlike the "BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP DISNEY BRINGS RUIN TO POOR DEFENCELESS EMPLOYEES" narrative you're now pushing. Are you going to bring this up years later when we get the first MCU X/F4 film or will you have moved on to another trolling fad by then? 1st, I didn't just bring this up. I brought up this issue of thousands of workers losing their jobs and their kids going hungry when the articles first came out about the buyout, but MCU fans here threw a hissy fit and attacked me for brining it up because they didn't want anything to ruin their life-long dream of getting X-Men and Fantastic Four into MCU. 2nd, it's entirely Disney/MCU's fault. They're the ones buying out Fox and sending out the termination letters to those workers.

Oh please, you would love to see Kevin Feige and James Gunn jobless for the rest of their lives. MCU Dictator Kevin Feige and James Gunn are millionaires so I don't give a shit if they're jobless. But the thousands of Fox workers who will lose their jobs just so Feige and many MCU fans can get their life-long dream of getting X-Men and Fantastic Four into their precious MCU as quickly as possible aren't millionaires and many won't be able to provide food and shelter for their children if they lose their jobs.

Dude this is the real world, not a cartoon. Most of the employees you speak of who are likely to be laid off when the merger finally goes down have known about it for a long time and have been able to apply for other work and get all their finances in order to support themselves and their families, and because LA is pretty expensive to live in those who may face mortgage issues can move somewhere cheaper to live. It's the smart and realistic thing to do for any adult.

That's really sad to hear. That means thousands of Fox employees will lose their jobs right before the holidays. It's already bad enough that they're going to lose their jobs. But now they're going to lose their jobs right before what should be the most wonderful time of the year, just so MCU Dictator Kevin Feige and MCU fans can get X-Men and Fantastic Four into MCU as quickly as they can. www.comicbookmovie.com/x-men/with-the-fox-disney-merger-set-to-be-completed-sooner-than-expected-heres-what-it-might-mean-for-the-mcu-a164055 The sad reality is that while we're all getting excited about seeing The Avengers in the same world as the Fantastic Four and X-Men, thousands of Fox employees are about to lose their jobs.At least Kevin Feige won't shit all over the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchise like Fox has over the years. What are you talking about? They made a profitable franchise that lasted for 20 years without a reboot and one of their films was just nominated for a screenplay Oscar.

Also we gave them 90 days severance and letters of recommendation for each of them after the 6 months was up in case the company we sold to laid them off.

MCU zealots like justanaveragejoe show their true colours with comments like that.
Get back to us when Disney-MCU produces a masterpiece like Days of future past, an Oscar calibre winner like Logan, an R rated no kiddy-audience-required box office hit like Deadpool and another masterpiece where a woman is the lead heroine without any of the SJW propaganda behind it like Captain Marvel (too late, X2 with Famkes Jean Grey takes that prize)

Dark Phoenix looks like another Fox disaster. The entire MCU is better than all those films I just mentioned. And those 3 Fantastic Four movies are just awful. Also, Logan didn't win any Oscars, but I'll get back to you when Black Panther becomes an Oscar caliber film.

Those other three had middling reception and honestly were better than Incredible Hulk which was a Box Office bomb. I mean people tend to forget it even exists.

In other words Sociopaths are like Psychopaths without the commitment. If you do something go all out, leave no doubt, I say. ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/iqp324knt/bounce.gif)

I enjoyed the 1st and 2nd movies but that doesn't make them good. FF1 was bad, FFSS was horrible, and F4F was an abortion. Fox's stewardship of the X-Universe hasn't always been stalwart. X1-X3 gets passes on some of what is wrong with them. They were busy saving a genre at the time. They had to be made more mainstream in that time period. They couldn't have a whiff of campiness (nobody wants it then or now), visuals had to be muted, tone had to be dire as possible to separate it from Batman and Robin. X1: is a good film even with the limitations of the genre then. In fact the limitations probably made it a better film than it should be. I'm not saying grounding completely will work with every Superhero movie hell it probably won't be suitable for every X-men movie. X2: is a great film. It took all the good aspects of X1 and turned it to 11. X3: is just plain bad. Uninspired drivel. XO: is not only insulting to superhero movies, it was insulting to movies in general. FC: is great they moved the visuals toward the source material. It had vibrant cinematography, it lighting and color saturation was spot on for being set in the 60's, there was a balance between honoring the source material and making a good movie (and yes I stall the balance line from Charles) and every actor, even a certain Blue Girl, were on their A Game. TW: is 2/3 a decent movie. It's shift back to realism hurt the first 2/3. The last 3rd of the movie turns decent into bad. DoFP: is a good movie. I have some complaints about some aspects of the plot. I think with the exception of one's commitment to her part, **cough she's blue **cough, it was acted wonderfully. The future scenes became more sci-fiction-y I assume the director, concept artists, writer, and cinematographer binged watched Terminator movies before designing the look of their X-future. DP: all I got to say about the quality of this movie is ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/iqp324knt/bounce.gif) !!! I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the fact that Fox was perfectly happy to let Barrakapool be our only cinematic version of Deadpool. It took Ryan Reynolds commuting a crime to force Fox to make DP. Leaking the test footage is stealing from Fox and infringing on Fox's intellectual property rights they leased from Marvel. So this is a good and bad stewardship. XA: is monumentous in it's mediocrity. It's the khaki cargo shorts, golf shirt, wearing crocks while drinking coors light of the Superhero Genre. I think being medocre is worse than being horrible at least horrible is memorable. L: is a good film. You know how I said I can enjoy a film and still consider it bad? It works the opposite way too. I can dislike some fundamental parts of a movie and still know it's a good film. Like I can appreciate Citizen Kane is a master work in Film it doesn't mean it will ever be on a list of my favorite movies. And yes by reference I compared Citizen Kane to a Superhero movie. My art Proff in college just turned in his grave. DP2: ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/92g8cqf89/chatty.gif) !! Is all I did throughout 87.43% of the movie. There have been 14 Fox Marvel Movies 3FF+11X. I have to say it's 50/50 on if you will get quality or not. I think seven movies showed their conservancy of the brand was quality: X1, X2, FC, DoFP, DP, L, DP2. They're eight Fox Marvel Movies that show a failure in the duty of care they were entrusted with: FF1, FFRS, F4F, X3, XO, TW, DP, XA. I think DP should be counted as good and bad for Fox's stewardship. When the studio thinks what we got in XO was adequate and were only forced to make a movie by a crime, how you got to the finished product is just as important as said finished product. Fox's content with XO shows contempt of the subject matter, so I counted it in both.

If you do something go all out, leave no doubt, I say. varientAs someone who scores highly for the traits and tendencies (but not the typical behavior) I’m inclined to agree with you. Sociopaths are pussies. Be all that you can be. Be a psychopath. God I don't know why in the hell, I've been so long winded for last few days. I am actually boring the shit out of myself. There are a few test now that points doctor's toward a psychopathy diagnosis. There are some genes that have a Psychopathy Variant. These alone won't make you one, but there is correlation between those genes and psychopathy. Some articles are willing to say it's more than correlation, that there is a causal link. These are the genes that can express the varient : ANKK1, DRD2, DRD4, MAOA, COMT, and 5-HTTLPR. The MAOA is the most important one it is associated to aggression and is called the "Warrior Gene" There are more Serial Killers/Psychopaths represented on the Autism Spectrum than the general population. 29%-34% of serial killers/psychopaths are on the spectrum. In the general population that is 1%. People who skew to High Functioning Autism usually has strong almost redundant connections between several regions in the left hemisphere of the brain. You can actually see the structural abnormality on FMRI especially The Arcuate Fasciculus. You could have everyone of these abnormalities and still not be a psychopath. Even if you were a psychopath doesn't mean you can't be a productive member of society. 1% of the population are Psychopaths. That's 3,257,000 in America a lone. Not all are killers in fact only a small percentage are. Most are non-violent. They tend to be managers, board members, CEO. COO, etc. There is a good book by James Fallon "The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain." He thought if he could causally link brain scans that showed damage, genetic scans, and resulting psychopatic personalities, then we'd have a good basis to diagnosis them. (the jury is still out if psychopathy or sociopathy are diagnosible diseases.) He found a pattern in brain scan of 70+ killers. They all had reduced gray matter volumes in the anterior rostral prefrontal cortex and temporal poles. This defect is in the part of the brain that is associated with empathy and feelings of guilt. He had himself scanned as kind of a base line. (you see where this is going) Suffice to say he diagnosed his brain as abnormal. The Genetics test were abnormal. He had all the bad variants . He is a psychopath. This could lead to diagnostic tests to detect psychopathy early. It's cliche but it really is Nature AND Nurture. Both shape our lives/personalities. Fallon looks to his childhood to see why he didn't turn into a killer. He had a very stable home life. He learned young, actions have consequences. He was known to be impulsive and gregarious. He focused all of his energy in having a good time and making others feel the same. When people found out about the test results everyone said of course you tested positive. How could not see it? You like controlling people but not in a shitty way. Like being a boss, being a leader, taking large vacations with friends and families and you handle everything. It's a good book you should read it. www.ted.com/talks/jim_fallon_exploring_the_mind_of_a_killer?language=en&utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
