Dark Phoenix X-Men: Dark Phoenix News and Speculation Thread - - - - Part 13

[Davidstorm]

YES
I agree with everything you said, I do not really like to talk about it here.
but I sure hope for comcast, I'm not saying this just because of the x-men
I think Fox has an important role in the movie world,they are always the ones that give more space and support, for indie films, now we had an LGBT movie that for many years no big studio did, among other things
and looking at the segment of comic films, I do not want everything to be summed up to disney vs WB, I think this makes things boring and predictable, I think it's important to have more options, that's healthy for the industry and good for the public.

It is a superhero movie about something. Age, death, and the demythifying of heroism. It also had things to say about the direction the country is headed and updated the mutant metaphor in a brilliant way with how American leadership is treating undocumented immigrants arrested at the border. The only recent MCU movie about something--or maybe only one ever--is Black Panther. Logan is a more elegantly paced and told film, although I like Black Panther quite a bit. Also Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart give phenomenal performances a cut above most of the genre.

To put it another way, Logan was nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars. Something no superhero movie has seen before (although, TDK and Spider-Man 2 were worthy in their years). And something certainly no Marvel Studios film will ever achieve.

It is the first superhero movie to be able to play in the same ball park as Christopher Nolan's trilogy.

So when BP gets the Best Picture nomination that Mr. Nolan hisownself said it deserves you will concede that is an objectively "better" flick than one merely nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay?

If that's what you care about, then you might be rooting for the wrong company.

Why Comcast Would Be Even Worse For Fox Than Walt Disney

Simply put, there is a lot less of a use for Fox movies in Comcast. Universal already makes big movies, like Jurassic World and Fate of the Furious, and they make small ones like Blockers and Get Out with regularity. While Fox’s X-Men properties would give Universal a superhero franchise if they so desire one, the upscale flicks (The Revenant comes to mind) might be in peril. Universal doesn’t distribute super-duper expensive flicks outside of the FF and JW franchises. More importantly, I’m not sure a single studio would need both Girl on the Train and Gone Girl.

Blue Sky would be less valuable to a studio that already has Illumination and DreamWorks Animation under its umbrella. Blue Sky may get sold no matter who buys Fox (Lionsgate might want to take a gander), but Fox Searchlight would be a hell of a lot safer at a studio that didn’t already have Focus Features pumping out the likes of The Darkest Hour, Tully and Victoria and Abdul. Having Focus Features and Fox Searchlight doesn’t buy Comcast anything it doesn’t already have. Hence the types of movies that Fox and Fox Searchlight produce might become an endangered species.

Why Comcast Would Be Even Worse For Fox Than Walt Disney

I totally disagree with the text, but it looks like a journalist who is dissatisfied with the possibility that a "xmen vs avengers" will not happen
say that many things are not going to be done, because the possible buyer already has similar things, it is very unreasonable.
this is just the same as saying that disney would not do x-men movie because it has avengers or that we will never see the avatar sequence because they have stars wars. logically this would not happen
many of the things the fox does will be extinguished or set aside for a long time, that's logical and needless to question, this would happen on disney or comcast, but anyway I see on comcast a bigger possibility of some fox productions going on.
if you make a comparison disney has more profitable franchises than comcast, so by the logic of it and if you follow it, disney is much more dangerous to fox productions than comcast.

 

[Weather Witch]

Well that's a non existing argument. Disney already owns an animation studio and releases big movies as well. The fact that Comcast has experience with Focus Features means Fox Searchlight is less likely to get buried as it might with Disney. As for the upscale movies, that's what the Fox branch of Comcast could be for. Is it opposites day or what?

Its not getting a freaking Oscar. Nolan isn't a part of the Academy, he just liked the movie a lot. If his movie didn't get nominated, then Black Panther isn't either, especially when its not even in the same league.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does get a freakin nomination. We shall see!

In other words, his opinion is just as irrelevant as yours. The only difference is more people will read and respect his.

she's nervous? Careful with the heart, it does not do well.
take a tranquilizer t:
I do not care about what you think of my opinion, your opinion about my opinion and equally irrelevant

You care enough to respond. Good enough for me.

so mine is relevant since you answered first t:
go get some sleep.

 

[GuestStar2004]

People will only respect a journalist as long as they agree with their view. if they don't then the journalist is wrong and sucks at his job.

 

[Kuwolski]

so mine is relevant since you answered first t:
go get some sleep.

Actually it's more relevant as your initial post implied, never a good sign when you start to confuse yourself. Go see a doctor.

my God
You are in a topic where anyone can expose your opinion, because you do not like any, you already attack the person, and I am the one that needs to go to the doctor?

I do not like children's arguments or nonsensical debates.
find another member to spend your time.

 

[Charzhin0]

You think Universal are going to bury the Xmen? Yeah these film executive's are just going to ignore the fact that comic book movies are the number 1 revenue generator in the film market today and with them acquiring the famous Xmen, theyre going to shove them quietly to the side. Please.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Well the Dark Universe stuff was basically them trying to rival Comics Book cinematic universes. they just didn't have comic book characters to use so they tried it with the Monsters brand.

I just placed your trivial dismissal of another opinion on you. Simple. You don't like it.

As the quote goes, "Hubris calls for Nemesis"

[Kuwolski]

Again, you say you don't care about my opinion yet you continue to respond to my posts....I repeat, it's never a good sign when you start to confuse yourself, go see a doctor. I merely used your opinion against you and you start chasing your own tail. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[Micromind]

If Comcast buys Fox, then it will keep it as a separate entity from Universal, just like Lucas Films is different from Marvel Studios, even though both have the same parent company, Disney.

 

[Davidstorm]

I read on some website, that fox is considering postponing the meeting that would happen in July
I think they want to study the offer of comcast better.

 

[Ricardo Brown]

Logan's a solid flick, no doubt, but it ain't better than X-2 or any MCU flick released in the last 12 months. I get why its praised by certain folks - its bleak, it's openly derisive of the superhero genre, and much of what comic book fans tend to enjoy (costumes, power displays, heroism, yuks) are tossed to the wayside in favor of more sadness. But that's more about personal preference than objective quality.

Logan definitely hits its mark, and it's an enormous improvement over Wolverine #1 and #2. But I wouldn't call it an all timer.

Oh... I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst opinions I've heard. Comparing Logan to the mediocrity that is Homecoming or Ragnarok is just wrong.

In my opinion, the only good MCU film in the last 12 months is IW and it's definitely not better than Logan but I can see why some people might like it more.

Ragnarok mediocre?!! THAT is one of the worst opinions I have ever heard. And I am not sorry.

Sorry, and this is so insane, that it's impossible not to respond
honestly i'm not understanding you
I answered another member, I gave my opinion as everyone does, but you apparently got angry with mine, and tried desperately to say that it's worthless, I just said that yours is equally irrelevant (I'm lying?), and now you're in a desperation to become a victim or some kind of persecution (this is very common here) ... I repeat, I'm not worried and I do not want to be more relevant than a journalist, I'm just responding this , why this funny your atittude with an opinion.

You don't seem to be familiar with Scott Mendelson... the guy is not exactly the biggest fan of superhero movies.
