The point is x-men could have been made over 1 billion which they haven't yet.
All these comic book movies especially xmen before the marvel universe came were done COMPLETELY wrong since inception. Goofball studio execs thinking they were smart and changing the mythos and direction of a property for film.
That was already wrote to be instantly ported to film.
So, this was fukked since inception.
Plus should have stuck to the source material cause we already saw with lotr.
the results when you stick faithfully to the spirit and pulse of a property's source material.
So, from jump heads should have rolled at fox and Sony for spidey and xmen.
Yet they did not because at the time execs were high five'n themselves erroneously for an errant revenue grab.
Reducing in legacy a property that has been uninterrupted in print since the sixties.
Into a worthless short term revenue grab.
That when compared to a real box office of a real comic book property was exposed and should be and should have been exposed.
I am just glad at least marvel/disney is proving ignorant execs wrong and I hope those execs get exposed and run out of fukk'n tken for fukkin it all up.
Like real talk,...xmen has six movies and should have made a billion a piece judged off what the draw and quality of content this property is.
Especially the content it tackles as far as equality.
Yet none of those particulars are present and why this franchise won't ever draw a billion.
As it was not done well enough to draw a billion a flick and all the principals were there to draw a billion.
If you told me in 96 avengers in the future would out draw xmen.
I would have laughed in your face.
Fast forward to mismanagement by fox and marvel is laughing in fox's face and the okay then you got it head nod in defiance marvel gave sony and fox is still justified that marvel gave those clown companies when they sold them, too.
Marvel got to lol in the distance like a wack eighties cartoon villain.
While actually being the villain who won, domestically.
When that typically never happens.
So it is a lot of interesting dialogue points in this entire discussion to shed light upon.
