[News] Disney acquires Marvel? Somebody got X-Men in my Wonderland!

There is some good news to all of this, however. NO MORE FOX RUINING MARVEL MOVIES.

Otherwise, I very much doubt Disney will meddle too much into the comics side of things. You don't buy a profitable company just to screw with what makes them work. Unless you're Activision.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That has to be the most senseless post I have ever read, and being on Gamingforce, that's saying alot. Please tell me how you get "browncoat 9/11 conspiracy theories" out of me saying 20th Century Fox makes shitty Marvel movies? Did you really love X-3 and Daredevil that much? I suppose watching Elektra enough times would make anyone a crazy douchebag, really.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, Lehah, I really appreciate you spelling all of that out for me. It was very insightful. Good to know what a Browncoat is now. So thanks for that.

Now then, that doesn't really change the fact that all of that shit has nothing to do with what I said, dickhead. First of all, I'm not really upset with Fox for canceling Firefly; it kinda sucks, but I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near the level as a "Browncoat". Now I understand that you were just using that as an alternative to calling me an idiot, but really...why not just call me an idiot? It would've been a little more relevant. And as far as 9/11 Conspiracy Theorist goes, well, you only used it to reinforce the notion of being said "Browncoat", so again, completely out of context.

Second of all, Fox Studios does make shit movies. Unlike many other "Big Studios", Fox is notorious for meddling and chopping block antics. Eight (Fox) Marvel movies so far and the only one that can really be said to be "good", is X-2. And I think X-2 is only good because of how much better it is than X-1. They also have 2 more definitely on the way, and another 2 possibly after that, but we all know Wolverine 2, Deadpool, First Class, and Magneto are most likely going to be shit as well. Doesn't seem like a great track record. So when I say I'm happy Fox won't be acquiring any more Marvel licenses to ruin, there's really nothing wrong with that statement.

FOX makes movies to make a profit, not to ruin your self-absorbed dickhead notion that you deserve some modern cinematic masterpiece about your pulp character.

That's right, Fox does make movies to make profit. Let's look at the top 10 grossing comic book adaptations. Oh, only 2 from Fox, and only 1 of those being any good. On the other hand, 8 of the Top 10 movies were actually pretty good (the other 2 being Spiderman 3 and X-3). Obviously, there's no correlation here that "A studio intends to make profit, not to make great movies". A Studio can absolutely choose to make a movie that is both of good quality (and no, I do not demand cinematic masterpieces, but I do demand a movie good enough to be worth the money I pay to see it) and that is designed to make a profit. Fox simply doesn't seem to give a shit. Every property they've produced had the potential to be so much better. Sure, the other studios haven't all made perfect Marvel movies, but then they don't have a 1-in-8 track record of quality either.



I made sure the B in all Browncoats were capatilized so as not to offend you.

Please find me someone on this board that thinks X-Men 3 was an excellent film. Even if you can, it doesn't change the fact that Fox only has 2 movies in the top 10 grossing comic adaptations, despite them producing the largest share of Marvel works and, as you said, focusing on making a profit over making quality films. Obviously hasn't panned out for them quite as much as it has for, say, Warner.

I really don't mind if you choose never to reply to my posts again. It's hard to argue with crazy people anyway.


And Deni, how are Spiderman 1 & 2, The Dark Knight, Batman 89', Iron Man, X-2, and Men In Black (the first one anyway) atrocious movies? As comic adaptations, they're all better than most others. Hell, The Dark Knight stands as a better crime drama (clearly a more respected genre among film snobs, like you guys) than it does as a comic book movie. I will, however, concede 300 as a toss-up.
