I don't think it's so much that FOX needs to stop making origin or spin off films. They just need to make origin or spin off films people will actually
care about. It's all about dollars and cents and
dollars and sense. For example:
No one was really clamoring for a
Wolverine movie--his origin had taken up two of the 3 X-Men films already.
For a minute they were talking about doing a spin off film for Deadpool. Again, few really give a damn.
And absolutely no one gave a f*** about that damn
Elektra movie.
FOX either invests millions in horses that have been beaten to death like Wolverine, or in B and C-list Marvel characters that audiences and fan bases have little interest in (i.e.
First Class). For example, if they had cast a younger Cyclops, Jean and Storm in FC I can guarantee you that the BO would've been far larger. But instead they focused on Banshee and Havok--characters who are not even big sellers in the comics.
The worst part? Every time they crowd theaters with these lame ass films with low ratings and box office intakes, it just weakens and dilutes the entire brand of this film genre. They need to stop and just focus on the big names of Marvel. I have high hopes that
Days Of Future Past will finally "break the mold" for Twentieth Century Fox once and for all.
