Nah, we'll just settle for the packed theaters Marvel will continue to have. You're -- you're gonna meet up with weirdraptor in a packed theater full of kids and families watching a Disney McMarvel movie and perform illegal public sex acts with him? I mean. You do you, but fair warning: you might get arrested. You said "Get a Room", you didn't define what we'd do in there. We'll enjoy our MCU success, naturally.

Does Disney send you a check every time those movies come out? Otherwise, apart from being a fanboy loser, how do you personally "bask" in and "enjoy" its success? Because I'm a shareholder, and Disney sends me a check four times a year. So unless you can quantify it, sounds like I'm "enjoying" the MCU's success a hell of a lot more than you are.

This is Apocalypse. The dude has access to Alien tech in the comics and Singer teased at this in interviews. But not in the movie... He can talk about it all he wants in interviews and it can be in the comics all it wants, but until it is in the movies, it's not a part of the movie universe. It's the same as Superman having freeze breath. He has never used it in the Snyder movies. So he doesn't have that ability.

Except this is a studio known for making films about aliens. lol They're also the studio that turned Galactus into a cloud.

ID4: Resurgence didn't do that well, so they'll be feeling less brave about doing an alien-based X-Men film, not that Singer would ever have had to the balls to do that, anyway. He did Superman Returns which was an alien-based film. But Superman Returns didn't have anything original about it. It was an homage to Superman 1 and 2 and at the same time meant to be a replacement for Superman 3 and 4.

Probably not, though I'd prefer they stay separate right now.

I don't think they can merge right away even if Marvel Studios and Fox were getting along enough to do it right this very minute. I think it'd have to wait until after The Infinity Wars, bare minimum.

No, I just like them. And I enjoy how they give a nice middle finger to the pretentious types who think all CBMs must be "grounded" instead of embracing their origins.

I do, too, but there's room on the spectrum for all kinds of approaches. I don't think one is more "right" than the other when you're talking about adapting one medium to another. It's a sliding scale. Also, if you like them, you should buy stock in the company. Seriously.

The thing of it is, the X-Men aren't grounded. At all. Take the grounded approach with someone like The Punisher, who warrants it, but the X-Men have had just as much weirdness surround them as The Avengers over the years.

It's even weirder when Toxic X-Fans go one about Chris Claremont...when Claremonts' run was loaded with stuff like aliens and demons and vampires and all the other things they hate about the MCU.

This has really happened, and with Claremont's run being used as the "example?" What.

If one thinks putting the X-Men franchise into the MCU is a good idea, look at Sony. Sony is currently developing Spider-man spinoffs such as Venom and Silver Sable, which are confirmed to be unconnected to the MCU. They do not connect because Marvel/Disney do not have financial incentives to help a rival studio make more Spider-man movies every few years other than Spider-man: Homecoming. Now the Spider-man Cinematic Universe is stuck in a limbo with Spider-man joining the MCU and the rest of the characters being excluded. Fox does not have a reason to join the MCU on this ground. Marvel/Disney may help Fox to make one X-Men movie every three years, but X-Men has a lot more spinoff potential. Hence we are getting films such as Logan, X-Men: The New Mutants, Deadpool 2, Gambit, and X-Force. If the main X-Men team joins the MCU like Spider-man did but the rest stays at Fox, it will be very troubling to share characters as Professor X, for instance, will only appear in the MCU film but not The New Mutants. This is a very logistical problem that the studio is more aware of than the fanboys. The idea of a solo Venom/Black Cat movie without Spider-Man is a stupid one. Sony shouldn't have bothered, it's just going to hurt them more. The answer is easy...just give back the properties in their entirety to Marvel and don't try spinoffs that will likely flop and do you more harm than good.

And yet the MCU, which fully embraces the source material is by far the most popular superhero property right now. Seems you're just wrong. The demand for comics is the same. People don't take it seriously.

People don't take it seriously. And well they shouldn't. Comicbooks are works of fantasy. Read them for enjoyment, don't take them seriously.
