.funny no place in the article did he say X-Men should revert back to marvel for artistic reasons.
Typical IMDB posters or retarded fanboys, they love misquoting articles for their own validation. At no point in the article where Claremont's bashing Fox.
This will be the only comment or reply you'll get. Like I give a sh!t about YOUR interwebz opinion. -

I agree with this comment:
whereas all the film rights for the FF- the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are controlled by Fox who has no interest in the comic books.
Fox never cared about comic books. Chris Claremont's best work (Phoenix) was ruined too.
Hopefully Fox is more careful and keep better track of stories and characters in their next movies. Fox seems to be getting better at that. -

Oh I agree that Fox never cared deeply for comic books because they are not a comic book studio. marvel is a comic book studio that was designed for the purpose of making dumbed down comic movies , making them worse than Fox.
It's one thing to be ignorant and learn with time like Fox has. it's another thing to know the truth from the start like marvel but dumb it down to please the masses.
The real legit question would be, the Claremont
ever say marvel should get the rights to X-Men? nope.
he never said that. Claremont like most x-men fans said the damage is because of disney and owernership. marvel comic fans said it four years ago when we noticed that the marvel comic universe was becoming more and more like the MCU movies. -

MCU is for making proper CBMs, not ones that are ashamed of themselves (FOX).

Fixed.

More unashamed, then. -

Fox is ashamed? Please.
X-Men: Apocalypse was far closer to X-Factor: Fall of Mutants than Civil War was to its storyline. And Jean Grey was written like her comic counterpart unlike that Jean-wannabe Wanda. lol -

Not really. You know what was missing? X-men. Mystique working for the government with Freedom Force. Magneto teaching at the school. What did X-men Apocalypse have that came from that story? Apocalypse and four henchmen? A few moments don't make it close to the comics story. Also, stealing moments from a bunch of other characters and giving them all to Mystique, Xavier and Magneto doesn't make it close either.

I didn't say it was identical to that story, but that it was closer to its comic counterpart than Civil War was. But X-Men: Apocalypse was a combination of a much of stuff from the comics for the most part. Civil War was mostly original content.
And by "stealing moments from other characters" do you mean like the whole Ultron's creator situation? -

You mean like how Ant-man was suppose to come out before Avengers, but Edgar Wright sat on his thumbs doing something else pushing the movie back so they couldn't use Hank Pym (the original lead character) for Ant-man? So yeah they moved on from their original plan. Fox didn't have that problem did they? They just gave it all to Magneto.

Actually, Ant-Man was always going to star Scott Lang as the lead and Hank as the retired old hero. So even if the movie came out before Avengers Hank was never going to be apart of the team and thus likely not be the creator of Ultron. Since AOU was set-up for Civil War, similar to how Apocalypse was set-up for a Phoenix film.
And honestly, Magneto was a better choice for the central horseman than Warren in this case. In the comic it was about Warren's fall into depression caused by years of anti-mutant hystisa, the lose of his fortune, and then his wings that caused him to lose faith in Xavier's dream. That is until he is brought back by his friendship with the original five. That is something that couldn't done properly in one movie as that would require Warren to have a developed friendship with the heroes and a series of misfortunes.
Magneto had a developed friendship with the heroes and series of misfortunes. The holocaust, the military's attack on Mutants in Cuba, and losing his brotherhood made him the perfect replacement. All he needed was one final push to make him sink into depression and that was the form of his second family(which is lifted from the comics). -

In other words, the films did a lousy job actually being about the X-Men. -

They could've done all that with Angel but they didn't plan correctly. Angel in apocalypse was a disappointment.
This is coming from someone who loves DoFP and First Class more than all the comic book universe films other than Winter Soldier.
