Do you want to see X-MEN go back MARVEL

[Dales]

I am no huge marvel fan, sometimes I find their films can be a bit too childish and too comedic. I really Love Bryan Singer's XMEN Films. I find them personally better than all the MCU films. Singer Xmen film is like star trek. there is a lot of drama, depth and social themes in it.

it is not just about action and explosions or the coolest fight scenes like MCU films and that is why I am one of those people that dont want to see the rights of the xmen films go back to Marvel.

I feel Marvel may strip away some of the maturity and depth of the xmen series to make it more marketable and commercially more success especially with Disney doing the promotion. I don't know what is going on with marvel. rumours has it that the rights of Spiderman has gone back to marvel for limited uses. rumour also has it that if the new fantastic 4 films fails, FOX may have to give the rights back to marvel. I hope XMEN never gets to that state where the rights will be in danger of going back to Marvel. I really like Singer;s vision of xmen. its fits a more mature base than MCU films and the films are more serious with a more terrifying threat.

 

[StarMan]

I'm more than happy for Spiderman to be absorbed into the MCU given the dreck Sony has produced in their previous two ventures. Same goes for F4 (and Galactus!).

But I'm more than happy for X-MEN to stay it's own thing, especially given the new lease of life the franchise has since X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Secondly: Given the abundance of characters already present in the MCU plus the addition of several more as the third phase unravels, how could you hope to realistically incorporate the already heavily populated X-MEN?

 

[Saga]

if the new FF film fails Fox does not have to give the rights back. there is no clause that guarantees they have to make a 'good' film. but, they may let those rights expire if the film is a colossal failure. again, if.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The X-Men films are my favourite superhero movies. So, I say they should keep doing their own thing.

 

[Relayer1]

Firstly, although I love the X-Men films, saying the MCU is childish in comparison is ridiculous. Go watch The Winter Soldier again.

I'd like ALL the Marvel characters back under one banner, but if Marvel did get them back, I'd insist on Singer and the same cast. I'd have kept Garfield as Spidey too

To be honest, the mutants function well in their own universe. The FF would (and should) fit in the MCU better, as will Spidey. If the new FF movie isn't any good AND doesn't integrate into the Xverse, give it back to Marvel !

At first, I didn't like the separation of properties but having multiple studios working on projects assures more movies yearly. I would like to see Wolverine fighting next to Captain America or the Punisher, which is possible in a joint project, but that's unlikely.

Avengers verse X-Men. A great comic book.

 

[Gaith]

No, for the reasons stated above. Besides, the MCU basically has their own mutants now with the Inhumans, so mutants would be redundant at best.


... That said, it would be pretty freaking awesome if the Coulson Crew (Bus Gang? Phil and Friends? We as a global fan base really need to come up with a single name for the AoS team) somehow flew through an ionized cloud into an X-Men parallel universe, had a few adventures' worth of insanely expensive episodes, and then were sent home, with no further in-universe ties. Freaking awesome, yes, but obviously not gonna happen.

 

[Dr. Funkenstein]

No, but not for any of the reasons stated above. I have no doubt that Marvel would make a more true-to-comic series of films that would be both entertaining and successful.

The reason I don't think they should is simply because the whole "anti-mutant" thing doesn't make any sense in world literally full of superheroes. Including ones who are essentially "human mutates" already, such as Spider-Man, Captain America, and the Hulk.

If it wasn't for that aspect of the X-Men franchise, both in the comics and on-screen, I'd be 100% for Marvel getting them back. If they'd promise to keep them separate from the rest of the MCU, however, I'd be completely okay with it because their love and dependency on their characters means they'll work their asses off to make sure their movies are great, whereas Sony is just there to make a buck.

…Coulson Crew (Bus Gang? Phil and Friends? We as a global fan base really need to come up with a single name for the AoS team) …

S.W.O.R.D.?

 

[Frodo Lives]

Actually I believe A.R.M.O.R's the acronym you're looking for; S.W.O.R.D. mainly deal with extraterrestrial threats, whereas the Alternate Reality Monitoring and Operational Response Agency is for your extra dimensional heebie jeebies and hopscotching through the multiverse.

I think they're headquartered in Man-Thing's swamp.

Gross.

Burns at the touch obviously.

Either them or the Captain Britain Corps.

 

[Gaith]

Coulson's the SHIELD Director, committed to rebuilding SHIELD. As such, names such as SWORD and ARMOR don't work; rather, the fan name for the team should be something non-canon, and kinda goofy. The Young Turks spinoff channel What the Flick, for instance, reviews The Flash and calls the Star Labs crew the "Misfits of Science", which is absolutely perfect. Meanwhile, Team Arrow is "Team Arrow" - ordinarily, such an obvious name would be too plain, but here it works because it's known to irritate Ollie in-universe.

Bus Gang, Coulson's Crew, Phil and Friends... my three ideas are all totally legit. I/we just haven't decided on a particular one, is all.

 

[Frodo Lives]

True enough, and love the Young Turks reference, Misfits of Science is a great 'Scooby Gang'-esque moniker.

Is anyone using The Champions name anymore?

Coulson's Champions - isn't it supposed to be a SHIELD rank also? Ah, 'full champion license' which Steve, and maybe by extension Phil, has.

Admittedly it doesn't really roll off the tongue, maybe just the PhiliPawns?

 

[Hound of UIster]

It still amazes me that Fox and Sony don't just team up to do their own mini Marvel universe as their version of the MCU.

 

[Anwar]

No, but not for any of the reasons stated above. I have no doubt that Marvel would make a more true-to-comic series of films that would be both entertaining and successful.

Well, the Marvel Movieverse...doesn't really have that many real Superbeings in it.

Captain America isn't widely known as a true Superhuman, just a Patriotic Icon.

The Hulk IS feared and hated.

Iron Man is a Human.

Fury, Widow and Hawkeye are Humans.

Thor isn't that widely known and is essentially recognized as an Alien.

So fitting the X-Men in there wouldn't be too hard.

Heck, it wouldn't be too hard tying them all together. Just do what the comics did and explain that the Weapon X Program was a growth from the Captain America program and they decided to just use Mutants instead of trying to make a Superhuman from scratch.

Stryker and his crew? He's really a SHIELD Colonel and his program is a SHIELD Department.

Cap? Saved Magneto from the Concentration Camps (which allows for the "Worthy Opponent" thing they have in the comics where Magneto sees Cap as a Human he can trust and respect).

Etc, etc.

I wasn't saying that they couldn't fit the X-Men in. I just don't think they should because the hatred the population has for Mutants doesn't make sense when you have figures such as Thor, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four running around. Fuck, the fact that the Fantastic Four are celebrated while Mutants are loathed, alone, is beyond ridiculous as the only difference between them is that the former got their powers through a freak accident of science while the latter got theirs through a freak accident of genetics.

 

[Awesome Possum]

As long as Singer is in charge, I'm fine with the X-Men staying at Fox. He's done a great job with it, although as soon as he's gone the franchise starts crapping out X-Men Last Stand and Wolverine Origins. So just let him stick around or anyone else who understands why the X-Men have worked as characters for nearly 50 years.

But I want Spider-Man saved from Sony as quickly as possible. Or at least get someone who understands the character and/or picked up a Spider-Man comic published after the 70s. Maybe then we can finally get away from the idea that Spider-Man has to be a teenager, but get him out of high school as quickly as possible. Maybe show a grown Spider-Man struggling to maintain his life as Peter Parker and fighting crime.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Given the oversaturation of X-Men and Wolverine over the years (not to mention Spider-Man) maybe it was a blessing in disguise that Marvel was compelled to develop its other products. We might not have had the diversity of product that we now enjoy.

 

[Turtletrekker]

While I consider the MCU to be FAR superior to the X-Men movies, I don't think that either franchise would really benefit from coming together, so keep X-Men where they are at. Spider-Man, on the other hand...

What about the FF ?

Really?!? Serious question: Did they name them that in reference to the 80s TV series, or was it just a coincidence? (Loved that series, BTW! Cheesy 80s action, and I just ate it all up as an 11-year-old.)
