It's sort of depressing that this seems to have shifted from the "Keep Hope Alive" thread to the "Who cares, it's only the Fantastic Four" thread.

If the FF come back in the comics and then Universal get the FF rights, expect another bomb to hit the Baxter Building again and destroy it.

But seriously whats the deal with Namor...
I thought FF was the main thing everyone wanted to get back.
Willie, you misunderstand me. I of course want Marvel to get the X-Men and FF. 100% this is what I want. I am addressing this notion that there will be backlash if it doesn't happen. In our nerd circles, maybe there will be. But by and large there won't be. That is my point. Not that the FF coming back to Marvel doesn't matter to me. As stated many times prior, the MCU is better for the FF and better with the FF (and X-Men but to a lesser degree IMO).
Sure, and I think it's obvious that our power is limited and because our power is limited, we've seen crappy film after crappy film and that pattern may not be ending.
I don't expect Disney management or Comcast management to care or do anything about it, but this is a small oasis of people who understand and HOPE whether that hope is realistic or not.
And you're just one person and you shining the harsh light of reality on things won't derail the thread, but it seemed like there was a period yesterday (perhaps amplified by my own frustration and disappointment that there is STILL a big question regarding if I will die without seeing a decent FF film) in which the whole thread (not just you) seemed to shift from the hope it has always been based on to a general mood of "It's not going to happen and it doesn't matter because Disney and Marvel will just continue with what they have so let's just forget about it and move on."

I don't think it is over by a long shot. Disney is going to make a counter offer and we're going to see how Comcast responds. There is still reason for hope, and my goal is not to squash hope. What I want to sort of temper is this expectation that we're all going to grab out pitchforks and scorch earth Comcast if they win. The situation with these rights is out of our hands and pretty much all we can do is wait.
It is true though. The MCU doesn't need neither X-men nor F4. That is the reality. You are a huge F4 fan so you feel the need to amp their importance but we are talking about a studio that took Black Panther, Cap, Iron Man, Guardians and Avengers and made them A-listers and the most popular comic book properties on earth.
There is nothing tht tells me that Feige can't do that to Cap Marvel, Kamala, Nova or Eternals. Nothing. THat is the reality. The MCU doesn't need the 4.
I'm definitely not trying to be pessimistic or saying to give up hope. All I'm saying is that I don't foresee this being a gigantic problem for Marvel, if Comcast gets Fox. Fantastic Four and X-Men (and their fans) need Marvel far more than Marvel needs them.
Definitely I would personally like to see all of the Marvel properties under one umbrella, and still think that's a very good possibility.
