Chris Claremont, on why the X-Men comics have been sabotaged by their own company;<br />
"That has nothing to do with comic sales, that has everything to do with the fact that the film rights are controlled by a rival corporation.<br />
I guarantee you that if 10 years ago, when Marvel was approached by Disney, if the X-Men film rights were owned by Marvel Studios and not Fox the X-Men would probably still be the paramount book in the canon. The reason for the emphasis on the other titles is because Marvel / Disney control the ancillary film rights whereas all the film rights for the FF- the Fantastic Four  and the X-Men are controlled by Fox.<br />
So I think the Disney corporate publishing attitude is: why would we go out of our way to promote a title that will benefit a rival corporations X-Men films when we could take that same energy and enthusiasm and focus and do it for our own properties?<br />
Hence the rise of the Inhumans as the new equivalent of the mutants. I could wish for something else but it aint my 5 billion dollars."</p>

<p dir="auto">No he is not. Fox bought the film rights to X-Men during the 90s. They didn't buy the film rights to Deadpool until 2005. Doesn't matter if he was a member of X-Force, because Deadpool has also teamed up with The Avengers a bunch of times as well.</p>

<p dir="auto">None.  DC actually stops everything and starts over.  Marvel only changes a few characters, but the world is still the same.<br />

<p dir="auto">Isn't Rebirth yet another company wide reboot of the comics?  How many reboots have DC done in the last decade? 3? 4?<br />

So that is why those movies had pretty much less than nothing to do with the actual comics?</p>

If you're ashamed of comics, maybe.<br />
Marvel's own fear of people loosing interest in their films is why had Civil War,<br />
A spectacular film.<br />
Marvel is more worried about the decline in popularity of the Avengers movies. Unlike MCU, X-Men's popularity is not linked to the movies. Fox can start X-Men all over again, what can Marvel do?<br />
Keep on with successes and working on all the characters that were neglected for years because of the X-Men.</p>

That's a whole bunch of BS. And no one expected Civil War to make more than Age of Ultron, since it's a Captain America movie and was marketed as such</p>

<p dir="auto">The X-Men has had longevity unlike other Marvel characters who is not named Spiderman. They have lost all their DC-Batman privileges with Marvel and are still surviving  in the  hell  Disney created for them  by remaining a reliable seller for Marvel  compared to every other comicbook.<br />
Comic books are small potatoes compared to film. You have no one to blame but Fox for the X-Men's dwindling popularity over the years. After 16 years of trying, they've still failed to fully realize these characters on screen by making lackluster films that have caused fans and people to lose interest. If Fox was doing their job and put more focus on making X-Men films that people actually want to see, with the right creative team behind them (not Singer or Kinberg), the X-Men would be at the top of the mountain where they belong, despite what is happening in the comics.<br />
Thor 1, Thor 2, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Age of Ultron, Hulk and  The First Avenger are all lackluster movies. If DOFP is lackluster, what should  we call the Avengers? If X2 is lackluster, what should we call Civil War?<br />
Marvel's own fear of people loosing interest in their films is why had Civil War, which went on to perform less than Age of Ultron, while X-Men's Deadpool turned out to be the most profitable comic film of 2016.<br />
Marvel is more worried about the decline in popularity of the Avengers movies. Unlike MCU, X-Men's popularity is not linked to the movies. Fox can start X-Men all over again, what can Marvel do?  They can't cancel X-Men comics since the comics still sells  and they  can't  kill off Iron Man in the movies, their biggest Box Office draw. Marvel is more stuck than you realize.</p>

<p dir="auto">First you claim it is just the movies that make us believe all mutants are saints, and now you are dismissing nearly all of the X-Men runs. Got it.<br />
Most of them keep going for the "Nasty Humans" element and none really seem to realize that the X-Men are partially responsible themselves.<br />
A prefect continuation of Zack Snyder's defense for his version of Superman:<br />
He didn't alter the existing Superman in the comics, he made a new (if flawed) take right from the start.</p>

<p dir="auto">No one has declared all mutants as saints<br />
The movies do.<br />
Saying that X-Men are presented as nothing but "a bunch of victims" is a straw man you have been championing for years and the ideal "Mutant storyline" you want has been found in many X-Men comics.<br />
The only time it was ever done to any degree was in Ultimate X-Men.<br />
And no, just because you don't like how the X-Men are acting now doesn't make it "assassination".</p>
