James Mangold voices concern about Disney/Fox Deal

So you are saying Xavier has a new mutant power called hope that can get rid of the drugs and alcohol in his system?

No, I said that Tony's PTSD was a personal thing that had nothing to do with the villain.  You are the one that said that they should have had the villain use it against him.  And Banner was falling asleep because he is not that kind of doctor.  He didn't care to listen to Stark's problems. 

So we just randomly kill characters?  But that's only for the MCU, huh?  They didn't kill any heroes in the X-men movies.  Oh, I'm sorry, they killed characters in the X-men movies between movies because they didn't want to use them anymore.  They killed Cyclops because he was making another movie and was only in that one because of contracts.  They killed characters in DoFP, but brought them back at the end of the movie.  What are the stakes in the X-men movies again?  Nobody dies there why should they randomly kill the love interest in Iron Man 3?  Who the hell is Rachel Dawes?  Oh the made for the movie character that was meant to die from the beginning?  What about the more important character like Selina Kyle?

Coulson actually died.  He was brought back to life using alien DNA.  Tahiti.  Fury fake died because that's what he does.  He's a spy that had a bunch of people after him.  Not faking his death would have had people constantly chasing him.  Are you mad that you weren't in on Fury faking his death?  Is that it?  You need to be told the plan of the characters?  What do you mean a genuine decision.  The X-men characters died and were brought back to life.  Hell they had them die more than once in the same movie.  And brought back to life after both times.  In one movie. 

Peggy's story was over.  She was there in Winter Soldier only to let us know that Steve visits her.  They killed her off to free Steve.  So everyone needed to give Steve a reason to do what he does?  Didn't Aunt May give Peter the same speech (or a variation of it) in all 3 movies?  Priceless?  She wasn't that type of character. 

He's been living across from her the whole time since he woke up.  Just because you don't see it through all the movies doesn't mean it didn't happen.  In fact, they tell us that what the deal is.  And no it was not a "comedy gag". Only their expression while looking on.  I think it's more that you look at everything that happens in the MCU as happening for a laugh because it is the MCU.  They can have a completely serious movie and you'd still say that the whole movie had one joke after the other.

Maybe, but the Mask also didn't have the hype machine that Deadpool had behind it as well. It still holds up as a good film.



Now you see how the MCU is in a no-win scenario with some people?



But it isn't something new, if you know what Franco's usual works are. And saying "Nobody cares so if they change things it doesn't matter" isn't much of an argument seeing how the MCU made us care about D-Listers like The Guardians or Ant-Man.



Yeah, and maybe he's upset he didn't get to make them all hard R too.

Eh, something tells me that there won't be satisfaction until it's all R Rated.

IE, Ragnarok is exactly the same except we see Fenrir eating people for no reason and the zombie Asgardians aren't reanimated skeletons but decomposing corpses dripping with blood for the sake of it.

Look at Wonder Woman, it was set in WWI but wasn't rated R and it was a success.



They also think if Logan is ever put back, he should only be R rated too...despite him only having ONE R rated film to his name out of all his appearances.



Yeah but that wasn't his usual Sex fest.



He thinks that Disney is incapable of making a good X-Men story despite them probably being the same rating as Fox gave them.

But they're hardly alone in this regard, otherwise there wouldn't be such an uproar over the whole "will Disney make R rated stuff with Fox's properties or not?"



But it was in WWI, one of the bloodiest wars ever.



? Unfamiliar.



And if Fox did the same thing with having present day movies where he's back to the way he was in all the OTHER X-Men films, no one would care. It's only Disney that gets this stink eye.



I think the whole thing is a stupid idea, and odds are Franco had an idea of having an orgy with clones of himself while high on coke one night.

No. I liked phase 1 movies but they made them more lighthearted and forcibly comedic as time went on.

Its a shame because we arent going to see that style and tone of movies anymore such as Raimis spiderman and Foxs Xmen which will be/are both under Disney. And add Nolans style of Batman movies to that list too since the DCEU now is just trying to immitate MCU with their own twist of the cheesey formula. All superhero movies post 2018 will have generally the same look, feel and taste. No more true variety, just the same assembly line super polished safe products one after the other.

If Disney had made those movies and then Fox bought them and did the exact same thing erasing Disney's logo you wouldn't be complaining.

That's because they TRIED Nolan's way, but realized his way doesn't work with actual superheroes.

And Hell, TDK only got THAT to work by making Joker omnipotent and omniscient.

He understands all of this. He's just acting like a disingenuous dickhead because it's all he knows how to do. His empty, sad repetitive little schtick.
