    I dug the heck outta JL. Can’t wait to see Aquaman next year.

    The last Fantastic Four was truly abysmal...so was Iron Man 3 (although I admit, it made tons of money). So Marvel does lay out some bad eggs too.

    DCEU will be just fine...Zack Snyder is out...nothing but improvement from now on...
    I thought Homecoming was by far the worse marvel film and that's including Thor 2 which I can't remember the plot of.

    IM 3 wasn't awful but a borderline parity bought on the success of the success by the previous films and Avengers.

    But Spiderman I can't defend other than their plan was to reinvent the character for a new generation, blah, blah . I honestly think it was almost at F4ntastic levels other than the editing was clean and taking place in the MCU.

      Homecoming was a QUADRILLION times better than Iron Man 3.

      Lame annoying boring Tony “Panic Attacks” Stark and kid interaction.

      Iron Man repeatedly crashing and destroying suit.

      Iron Patriot, the most useless so-called superhero ever.

      Dozens of Iron Man suits (controlled remotely by J.A.R.V.I.S.) can’t defeat Killian...oh, but Pepper Potts can, lol.

      ...and don’t get me started on the Mandarin, one of the lamest treatments of a comic book character ever.

      I’d rather be beheaded by Kim Jong-un than watch that garbage again...

        I have to wonder how they handle the situation with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Do they bring the Fox version of Quicksilver over and say "Oh hey,he was your real brother all along." Or will they do something else?

          On the bright side it looks like Singer is done with Fox. he was fired from the Freddie Mercury film last week and I imagine Fox will not want him around any other movies for them.

                A god that wants Disney to own everything. Its never good to have all the eggs in one basket.

                    Of course there are reports out there now (reported on by the Nerdist) that Marvel won't get the FF rights back because Fox only owned distribution rights, not the IP rights, which are held by a German production company...



                    if these reports are accurate, no FF characters in the MCU unless another deal is made with this company.

                      There's a lot more to this than just getting back the rights to some Marvel characters. A lot more. They now own two tv networks and 2/3rds of Hulu, all of Fox's properties, too. Aliens, Predator etc. This is more a plan to take on Amazon and Netflix than to reunite the Marvel Universe.

                          Its a lot bigger plan than that if you don't see it or don't care if all your entertainment ends up controlled by one corporation then enjoy.

                                It is. Strange how most people are anti-big corporation, except when it comes to entertainment properties. I'll admit, there are tantalizing surface positives, but big picture, this is just one more loss for the art of cinema, how movies get made, and who gets to make them.
