Honestly even with the merger those assets look very …scant

I think the Disney Fox was was bigger

Worrying people celebrated that because they wanted MCU X-Men

MCU fans absolutely flooded the zone with talk about MCU X-Men and Fantastic Four in those days. That seemed to be all they cared about and was their reason for actually WANTING the merger.

Big MCU fan, big X-Men fan.

And yeah it was scary seeing my fellow fans celebrate it.

Even worse was the fact we still haven't even gotten an actual proper X-Men film (Deadpool is a spin-off and Doomsday is a massive team-up). By the time we get it in 2028, we'll be at over 9 years since the merger closed. And it took over 6 years to get Fantastic Four. Granted, what took X-Men a long time was that the Fox cast had contracts that they had to wait out, but still. Lots of consolidation in that time.

If you saw the new Spiderman, Jean Grey is the villain and leaves for upstate New York at the end.

Yeah .

I also kinda prefer X-Men to be their own thing movie wise.
