Why

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. I don't want my X-Men ruined by MCU.

I agree. I want the Fantastic 4. But not X-Men. It would be too difficult to add at this point when they've already written around mutants. And there are too many characters.

[sparklywalls]

Even before the rights coming back I wasn't keen because I found the idea of both Wolverine *and* Iron Man dominating absolutely everything in the same universe incredibly off-putting.

But with Iron Man unlikely to feature much more in his current guise beyond next year and fans perhaps suffering Wolverine fatigue...I could see it if they explored some of the lesser known characters. It's probably difficult anyway considering the MCU has had to skirt around mutants until now.

I'm kind of interested in how they'll marry everything together.

Have the mutants been there all along and just been really well hidden? Are they going to have an alternate story for the mutations - Hydra put their near-super-soldier-serum into certain water supplies, the Infinity stones themselves, an effect of what Thanos did, an effect of whatever they do to fix what Thanos did, etc.? Would people assume Spider-Man is a mutant? Is Scarlet Witch a mutant? Could they do a Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends story? 'Cause that would be awesome.

Re: I'm kind of interested in how they'll marry everything together.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be satisfied with them marrying one or more of my slash OTPs together.

[anarchicq]

Likewise OP.

It's just too much.

I've felt this way ever since people started talking about the Fox deal. The F4, yes, the MCU can absolutely use them and I'm glad they'll have the chance; but unless they have a really good plan for how to make mutants work I can't see it fitting together.

Hell, I felt this way for years before it was ever on the table. I remember chatting with a friend before the Avengers came out about what characters the MCU might use down the road (neither of us read comics much but we were following how things were going) and I remember saying that the Avengers and the X-Men don't really fit in the same universe in my head. How do mutants face so much prejudice and distrust when the world idolizes other people with powers (we've got Norse gods running around, but that guy has a loud scream; Johnny Storm can turn into fire, but Pyro can light fires; etc)? It could be done; with the state of powered people in the MCU right now I can see ways to at least partially make it work (aside from basically making a modern day First Class), but it will have to be very carefully handled and they're going to have to spend at least one X-Men movie just covering the plot holes their existence creates.

But I don't see any way this doesn't make a huge mess out of the TV side of things. Where people go 'Mutants, are those like Inhumans? Because we've we've had Inhumans for years. They're mostly kind of terrible, but they're definitely around.' Even ignoring the show Inhumans, which I think most people will happily do.

[fishnchips]

I would have liked it if this had been done from the start but by now, I think it's much too late to incorporate anything X-Men related into the MCU. At the very latest, it would have had to be done before Civil War (that way they could have stuck to the actual Civil War plot and maybe the movie would have made more sense). But now? Wouldn't work anymore, at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. There's too much water under the bridge for both franchises to put them together in a way that is even remotely coherent.
