Maybe Fox didn't want Spider-M-n. Maybe Sony didn't want the X-Men.
You're BS conspiracy theory is just dumb.
ok, first, it's "your". "You're" means "You are", so you essentially said "You are BS conspiracy theory", and you basically sounded like the Heavy there, calling Me a bullshit conspiracy theory, as opposed to calling my theory a bullshit conspiracy theory.
Secondly, the common sense of things is that if Fox or Sony are actually looking to buy one of Marvel's comics, then odds are they'll want to buy the rest of them. Sony wanting Spiderman over the X-men? That really doesn't make any sense, and you know it. Frankly Marvel is a goldmine of characters and stories, fantastic characters and stories, at that, but the fact that Marvel couldn't be bothered to hold it out with one company really doesn't make any sense other than "they wanted money". Why do people work for a living? Why was Marvel even started up as a business in the first place? Why were these comics made into movies? I can sure as hell tell you that it's not about doing it for the hell of it. It's about 60% making money, and 40% for the fans. Admittedly no one could predict what this could all come out to, but the very fact that they couldn't just sell all their rights towards one company is why we should be placing blame on them. You don't think that DC would sell off Batman to one company and then lose the rights to the rest of them to some other company, or New Line Cinema buy the Lord of the Rings, but have to miss out some other characters because they didn't buy the rights to them? No, because universes stick well as universes. And even then, why not just pull out the X-Men and Spider-man? They're Stan Lee's stories, he has the right to pull them, except he doesn't. In fact he seems much happier leaving them the way they are and making cameo appearances in basically all of them. I'm not saying he's a bad man, he's simply made a bad choice, which he should at least try to amend before too long. You're so quick to blame Fox and Sony, and although they are partly to blame, due to the fact that they're blood sucking corporations who don't know a good movie opportunity if it slapped them in their faces, but Marvel made the mistake first. Again,
they're not a bad company, they're a good company who've made a silly mistake. That's my honest to god take on this.
And I am serious. I find that whenever I'm serious, people think I'm joking, and whenever I'm joking, people seem to take me seriously. And whenever I correct people on this, I get yelled at by Time Turner. Figures.
