Congrats? Your prize is a crappy FF movie, no FF comics, no FF or X-men promotion, merchandise, or cartoons, and desperate attempts at making the Inhumans happen.
No one should be laughing when a brand gets damaged. I just don't get this mentality. Good comic book movies are good for everyone. Bad comic book movies are bad for everyone. Fans have to be the only people giddy when a bad movie is made.

Fox may consider the same. Utilize Surfer, Galactus, Anhilus or others in an X-Men-related movie. They're unlikely to do another FF movie but they 'may' have the option to still benefit from the IPs catalog of villains.

There's plenty to do in the X-Men franchise as it is and mixing those things in gives me the same vibes as I got when I heard about the concept of FF. Doesn't mean that it will automatically be terrible, but it's not what I want out of the X-Men franchise (which I do want to stay with Fox since mutants and their struggle work better without other super beings around)

Doubt they would though as they don't have great foresight.
I'd love if they did a Starjammers movie with Anhilus and Surfer involved
I always hated the idea of an X-Men/FF crossover and it has nothing to do with the quality of the latter. I'm sure they wouldn't want to mix them now that the FF failed like that but how do we actually know they can't?
They can't do that, because both of them are part of separate contracts. Fox does not own Xmen or Fantastic Four. They have licensing rights to make films based on the characters, so long as they fulfill the terms of the contract, which state they must make a film every X amount of years or they lose the rights.Of course they can. They own the rights to both properties, they can mix them if they want to. Even official interviews were talking about possible ideas for a crossover right up until the film tanked. It probably won't happen now, and thank goodness for that, but if they change they mind they can basically do what they want.

What exactly is my "stance in all this?" I'm not sure I've ever read a post from you that wasn't baiting for a studio flame war. At least you're in the right thread this time.Well that's a rather bitter assessment. But it's not unexpected considering your stance in all this...

Yup, you're so happy that you were right! This whole situation is really awesome for you. Congrats, you're vindicated! I hope the fallout of this movie is everything you wanted it to be. So far it isn't helping your petty and bitter attitude.Really? Why haven't the Mods/admins checked me for it...? I mean that's kind of their job, just like you telling people what they should shouldn't be happy about after being wrong about this reboot the pass few months must be your job I'm guessing.....?
Oh right that's not a real title just the result of eating crow I'd wager. F.Y.I. vilifying me for being right wont change that....
Ah, see there....you're begrudgingly admitting what was obvious to many while trying to diminish it with claims of flame warring.Yup, you're so happy that you were right!

This whole post is Sig worthy. Holy ****!![]()

There's no evidence they have the legal right to do this, other than conjecture. The X-men contract and the FF contracts are separate. I don't know of any movie studio that has separate licensed IP's that they are allowed to combine those elements.

I don't begrudge Fox for making movies with the rights to licenses that they bought and paid for.
I do begrudge them for not making GOOD Fantastic Four movies though. I will happily begrudge them for that. And I am very happy that FFINO bombed because Fox got what it deserved for not making a real Fantastic Four movie that respected it's source material. It didn't have to be that way though. But Fox made it that way.
Well that in itself is ok. Being mad at Fox for half a--ing the film isn't a bad thing. Being mad at them for doing this just to keep their rights is fine also. It's the studio flame wars and hatred for Sony and Fox for daring to do these films that they brought and the udea that Fox is somehw obligated to give any thing to Marvel is what i have a problem with. Not calling anyone out specifically or this board either. Just the overall attitude of a large majority of Marvel fans.
