Petition for Fox to Sell Rights to Marvel

[starscream22]

I've noticed that if you boil down pretty much every instance of MCU hate what you're left with is "I hate it because it's popular and/or more popular than what I like."


Fox hate on the other hand is entirely justified, they have not produced one single faithful or even good film with the Fantastic Four rights, in fact they made two really bad ones and one that is legitimately the worst rated Marvel franchise based film ever made. The reason people don't want Fox to have another shot is because they gave them three, and all three times made it worse than the previous film.

Marvel Studios had yet to make a film that's rated rotten in RT. In fact their lowest rated film on the site is ten points higher than Fox's average for Marvel properties, even including X-Men. There is objective, real word evidence that shows Marvel is legitimately better at making films on their characters than Fox.

This!!!!!!

And Daredevil couldn't be in a better place right now.

I think people are confusing, "I didn't like it" with, "it wasn't successful". The first movie definitely made its money back which equals a success; the second one barely did and I don't know why they didn't go for a 3rd movie. Perhaps because it wasn't as successful as the first or maybe because they had no more stories. I didn't like RotSS but I did like the first one.
I am not a Fox worshipper, they messed up royally by not doing this seriously and by hiring Trank/not firing Trank when he couldn't live up to the task/or intifering in his creation.
Do I think Fox can do it right, maybe? The ideas in FF 2015 were interesting. The actors deserve to be in a real movie to show their talent.
Maybe Fox doesn't care about this franchise and is more into Xmen...I wouldn't blame them. I just don't like how people wanted this to fail just to benefit Marvel and now it continues with "let's sign a petition to force Fox to do what we want".

It really bothers me when people think all the defenders were against this movie from the start based solely on what studio was handling the property. If you honestly think this then I don't think you've been paying attention, at least not on these boards.
From the start, everything about this project sounded terrible. The supposed casting controversy aside (the absolute least of this films problems), everything we heard and saw from the film looked terrible to us long-time FF fans. We didn't hate it because it was Fox, we hated it because they blatantly did not care to make a good FF adaption. These feelings were magnified the more we heard about the movies content, and the more we heard about the behind the scenes issues.
If fox had given this film the money, care, and attention they usually give their X-men movies you wouldn't have had fans turn against it so much. As it stands they only have themselves to blame, and not the supposed Marvel hive-mind fanboy bias.

So much good stuff in this post.

Um, I want to see the FF fight Black Panther and Spider-man in Civil War.

I want to see their stories and characters mix up while expanding Inhuman/FF, Dr. Doom, snd Skrulls

These aren't mutants. These characters mix very well and compliment each.

And could you imagine if Fox still had Daredevil.

It's almost physically impossible for Fox to do a superior version.

Lets not play games.

Sony realized after ASM2 they had to team up with Marvel Studios to save the Spider-man franchise.

Fox has to realize the same thing.

They're out of options. Their goofy FF is dead and so is their dark and gritty FF.

I'll agree to that. There is literally nothing they can do to fix the mess they created. Except I don't want Fox teaming up since the X-Men are fine where they are. I'd rather they just sell off the FF for TV rights to change New Mutants into a TV show on Fox, then do X-Factor on FX and then Alpha Flight on FXX.

That along with the rights to Captain Britain and all related characters while Marvel get some of the cosmic and mystic stuff related to the X-Men as well as Taskmaster and Viper. Shared rights like Quicksilver in both universes where Fox get one character they want who opens up a whole new Excalibur film series while Marvel get new elements to use in Guardians, Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange films.

Fox also sells back their cut of the merchandise revenue while Marvel no longer take a cut of Fox's box office profits.

Wham. Everyone wins with this deal.
