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.
