It makes perfect sense. Why rush into a x-men film and rush mutants into the fold when you just had black panther and now cap marvel doing 1 billion? Especially since fox is wrapping up their x men series this year. Add to the fact they have now a ton of cosmic characters they can use and integrate into the mcu without the obvious hangups.
Feige could be looking at the long game, where they can set up mutants properly, they'll have a ton of stories they can dive into.
I hope they don't go full cosmic. I mean that stuff is cool, but the best most relate-able stories with the most intrigue are still the earth based stories, like Winter Soldier, Logan, Spiderman 2, Civil War, Black Panther, Blade, the dark knight. None of those cosmic movies except Infinity war seem to work for me as well. Too goofy all the time.It makes perfect sense.

This is actually a pretty good point. The studio will not be happy sitting on that much money for 5 years just to serve the story. But that might be where deadpool and other non-canon fox characters come in. They aren't rebooting him so they could immediatly start his sequel and something related to that in the meantime outside the MCU but still x-men related. Maybe just finish off some the last fox movies that were in development to buy some time like New Mutants.
Both of ya'll making good points actually.

I think the main reason is that they force too much humor in order for them not to seem like a star wars or star trek clone, which for the most part are more serious space movies. Ironically Infinity war was the rare exception where it was in space but wasn't a full out comedy. But Warlock is probably going to be a clown because he will be introduced and a guardians movie. Thor is a slapstick comedian in ragnorok. Captain Marvel had the supreme intelligence dancing to 90s music. Starlord legit had a danceoff in his movie.
Darth Vader never danced, Yoda was funny in way that served the plot, not the audience. Spock never once mentions Kevin Bacon or any 90s pop culture and he's been to earth too. but yet those characters still worked.
anyways rant over, as you were. forget what i said.

Everyone talks about how they love CA The Winter Soldier but its in the middle of the pack as far as MCU films go.
Funny, cause I did see some early reviews of how the music and tone of IW reminding them of IW
well, at least black panther & spiderman will hold it down for the earthlings for two more movies.I think Feige said that phase 4, even prior to them getting fox (although he might have know about the deal) was going more cosmic and less earth base, which kinda makes sense IMO; considering that only GOTG and Thor were the only cosmic based franchises.
As far as humor goes, y'all all say this but it doesn't show at the box office.
I honestly think the humor thing has more so to do with the director, than with if a mcu film is cosmic or not
Professor X was part of the illuminati too. They can add side characters without doing the X-Men like Logan and Cap in a cold war past sequence or Rogue and Captain Marvel.
agreed
