Disney could possibly buy 20th century fox.

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney could buy the 21st century.

It might be a problem if the Trump administration decided to treat the sale of Fox the same way they are treating the sale of TW to AT&T. But, you're right, it's not a problem if the Fox sale goes through without any resistance at home or abroad.

Disney would water down age of apocalypse beyond recognition. At least in Foxs Apocalypse there was violence and brutality that pushed the pg13 rating to its limits. Yeah, Disney might produce a better looking apocalypse but they would absolutely tone down the deaths, rhetorical themes and mass cullings. No thank you, dont want another pathetic age of ultron or ragnarok which are supposed mass extinction events.

Lets see how this rendition of dark.phoneix turns out.

And only characters you have mentioned that were "wasted" are Galactus and Dr Doom. The rest have been underused and not focused on purposely. Fox already shown it can produce great characters like magneto eric and xavier if they dedicate screen time to them. No reason why they cant do that now with Storm jean cyclops.

Yeah fox has such a terrible record, only 3 rotten films out of 11. Go to sleep.

I gotta say I'm impressed with that Disney money.   They had so much of it they decided to pay critics to give good reviews to a movie from another studio.   I wonder if I can get in on that benevolent charity from Disney?

You've strayed off the Marvel Haters Handbook© a bit here though.   The talking point is supposed to be "Marvel has weak villains"...not "they make villains the star of the movie".   I realize the fake complaints about Marvel are a fluid thing according to the situation, but that's a little too far off the track.

But all they'll do is turn other characters into that character.  Everyone has the same assenting or dissenting voice.  They are either a variant of Xavier or Magneto.

What violence and brutality was there in Apocalypse?  I think Marvel understands the meaning of usable characters.  That's why they really don't have major character deaths.  They know they can still use that character. That's why they have multiples of the same character in the X-men movies.  They kill them and bring them back as a different character or change the look of them or change their age.  Not understanding that there are other characters with the same power or a similar story. 

And Ragnarok was not a mass extinction event.  It's about the end of Asgard.

How many of those movies did a good chunk of the general audience go see?  Or even like afterward?  3, maybe 4?  I bet DoFP made all that money only because people liked First Class (not in theaters though).  Notice the drop off on Apocalypse.  Guessing that's because those people didn't really like DoFP as much as First Class and decided to skip Apocalypse.

This is how weak the argument is.    We actually know what Fox does with Marvel properties.   They fail.   They've failed with the two biggest X-men stories and failed completely with FF.   We've seen them utterly fail with Dark Phoenix but of course the argument is "Lets see how this rendition of dark phoneix turns out".    How many chances are you going to give them?   Let me guess....you would condemn any failure by Marvel after one instance.

But you don't even have a failure from Marvel to hang any claim on.   Check out their "record"....17-0.   So going by your own metric, that means Marvel is doing a better job than Fox  (as if everyone didn't already know that).   In direct contrast to reality, you actually claim "would" as if there is anything to back up the idea that Marvel would do a worse job than Fox.   

I love the revised claim that suddenly Fox has been making R rated Xmen movies.   No...they make PG-13 movies just like Marvel.  Ryan Reynolds is the one who got them to do an R rated movie.  That never would have happened without him.  (or are we going to erase all the previous Wolverine movies now?)   Obviously history shows that Marvel "would" make a better Apocalypse movie than Fox did.   And of course Marvel haters would claim it's "watered down" (as if Fox made it rated R or something).

And they absolutely wasted Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Ice Man, Angel, Deadpool, and even Nightcrawler except for one movie.   You spin that with "underused" as if that's not the same thing.    They've had all those great characters for almost 18 years and that's what we've gotten.    Congrats to Fox for doing well with 3 characters out of the entire Marvel lineup in 18 years.    To the Marvel hater, that argument actually makes sense. 

 Fascinating to watch this weak argument in action.   Fox has obviously lagged behind every other major studio making CBMs.

I dont see how different characters are just extensions of magneto and xavier. Logan, nightcrawler, quicksilver, scott, mistique in the recent films have had their own personalities and stances. I can see for someone like Hank McCoy that may be just an Xavier-lite but not for anyone else. If you want to talk clones of one another, then antman, starlord, thor (now) and stark are all slightly different shades of the same goofy, cocky, arrogant base personality shtick.


The opening scene where people are straight up crushed and burnt alive.
Wooden arrow impaling magnetos daughter and wife through the chest.
Magneto slicing through the cops necks.
Apocalypse decapitating the thugs heads with sand.
Apocalypse leveling a fully populated Cairo.
Apocalypse breaking Peters leg in a close up.
Wolverines weapon X sequence is the most violent one seen before Logan.
Even Angels transformation with the metal wings from his bones is gory and brutal.

None of these would be in a family friendly Disney movie. At least Fox can give justice to Apocalypses brutal unforgiving nature in that regard and not hold back. What did Ultron do, slice off some guys arm in the most unrealistic manner ever.


Xmen started with no vision of a larger extended universe so theres bound to be some recasts and inconsistent character portrayals. I dont see it as a big deal if its just some support minor characters like Jubilee or Caliban. MCU has the advantage of being started after studying other franchise universes' continuity errors.


Invoking the box office numbers to show the quality of movies is not smart. If movie audiences were actually clued up then First Class shouldn't have made $200m less than freakin Antman.

Nah, whatever you wrote is wrong and it's the opposite of those things.

Nah, they rightfully own everything.
