There’s a lot of this video that is just factually wrong too. Like, who did the research for the video?

[@homerman76]

No, this is still a theory: A. It hasn't been proven that Disney did all of this intentionally out of spite, it just as easily could have been the writers finding themselves lost in a rut after a few bad decisions. B. It all starts with a hypothesis about Disney intentionally sabotaging the X-Men and the history lesson is the supporting evidence. I feel like people like you just don't get what a theory is.

Y'all are way behind the curve on this. Anyone that was paying attention during the last decade already knew that studio politics was destroying X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man. The blame is not all on Disney. Fox and Sony deserve just as much blame, because they were constantly pushing out garbage movies just to maintain their hold on those properties, while refusing to sell them back to Marvel, where they belonged. Sony is still doing this with the side Spider-Man characters. That's why I was so glad Disney bought Fox to put an end to some of this nonsense. Now Marvel will be happy to include X-Men and Fantastic Four in anything they can. Now they will bring them back. Saying that we should be worried about what they do with them next is just because you want to hate on Disney when, in reality, now that they are back under Marvel's control, Marvel will do them right.

They Should Permanently Get The Streaming Rights As Well As All Non-MCU Movies And TV Show

[@calvine295]

There's a lot of Marvel cartoons that should be brought back.

[@nightwish1453]

personally i feel it's redundant after watching 97. I say this as 97 feels like in it's DNA witholds all prior x-men shows in some form of capacity with how the show is paced, concept they present etc. the original show sacrificed a bit of character for stronger payoff whilst evolution was the opposite, 97 does both and executes it phenomally and wolverine and x-men has concepts such as genosha being a paradise and later we will see emma frost take charge and become an x-men herself

Hi!!! I thought in honor of the new A Quiet Place movie coming out, maybe you guys could make a theory about how loud you have to be in a quiet place before one of the aliens hears you.

[@kathryncaldwell9122]

Mel Brooks movies are fantastic.

If you've never seen it, you should. A beautiful send-up of _Star Wars_ and other space opera movies that still holds up today.

When he said that the inhumans and the x-men were feared and hated because they were born different something they didn't have control over, i got intense My Hero Academia flashbacks especially with Toga as well as Spinner and how they were shunned by society for being born different i would honestly love an x-men x MHA crossover comic or anime that would be awesome

My mutant power would likely be slowing down time at will. it's like quicksilvers ability, but the world slows when I use my abilities, fitting my lazy attitude, willing too take things slowly.

[@gagedavidson2020]

YOOOOO film theory was on a crusade against disney with this video. BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 I really enjoyed this episode.

[@EggShen905]

Whaaa??? Ms. Marvel wasn't "wildly successful". She's been rebooted a bunch of times in just a handful of years because her comics didn't sell. She's only in live action because they really want to push the character, but she's just not catching on and all of her live-action appearances have tanked.

[@theverminator4219]

Fr she’s the most blatant self insert character in the whole company as well, she’s never ever once caught on

Ok, the idea of the last 2 episodes are directly connected to what's happening in our world. Explaining how wars work and what war crimes is an obvious one, I did'nt realize this one until you showed the barrier then it clicked. I appreciate how you try to make us aware of this without directly telling us, which is kinda of the point of this channel, to figure things out, to uncover the truth. And the fact you always come so close to actually spilling out what your referring shows how you actually care. Thank you

They brought back Marvel vs. Capcom, so thats promising at least

[@Capt740]

@FilmTheory number one, I can't reply to ya'lls comment because the reply button is gone but more importantly. My mutant ability would be "Adaptation". Basically, I would constantly adapt to any situation and phenomenon. For example, if someone shoots me I'll adapt defenses against bullets and adapt a means of recovering from the damage I've taken. If someone blasts me with heat-vision of a fireball, I'll adapt defenses against thermal energy. If I get tossed into a lake and start drowning I'll adapt a means of breathing underwater. If I get chucked into space I'll adapt a means of moving through space as well as a defenses against the cold and I'll adapt away my need to breath. If I starve for long enough I'll adapt away my need to eat. If I die then I'll adapt a means of coming back to life. If my enemy has a strong defense then I'll adapt a means of hurting them. For the younger generation and for the anime fans, Think Mahoraga from Jujutsu Kaisen but mixed with Doomsday from DC comics and juiced up on steroids. As a side note, my physical human body won't ever look all that different, if at all, unless one of my adaptations requires a change to my physical appearance.

6:10 The placement between the avenger's nfinty war and end game saved Captain Marvel movie from obscurity. Just look how the Marvel's sequel of captain marvel did without the avenger's help. Also, your not going to touch how many number ones that Ms. Marvel comics series the character had?

[@MBarberfan4life]

If Disney wants a good live-action X-Men movie, the safest thing they could do is just translate X-Men '97 to live-action. I don't know how hard that would be, but any other plans would be way riskier.

[@antoniorodriguezlopez3931]

6:05 he was right in the end

[@Shane_111]

Exactly

[@rubixcuber936]

does anyone else think that in the Spider-Verse movies that Miles (or at least the spider part of miles) should be glitching in earth 1610 (his original universe), because spider 42 gave Miles its DNA and powers was from earth 42. and in the first movie we see the dead spider 42 glitching and we also see peter's explanation of "his atoms or DNA weren't real jazzed to be in the wrong universe" when we see peter glitching, and if you say that "Miles is still himself and wouldn't be glitching in his own universe" I would have to respond with, in the second movie Miles uses the "Go Home Machine" and it reads his DNA and figures out his dimensional signature and sends him to earth 42 not 1610 which shows that at least some of Miles's DNA is from earth 42 so wouldn't Miles be glitching in earth 1610 from the moment that the spider bit him and mutated his DNA.

“Ms marvel is widely successful” She was so popular that every time she got a comic of her own it got cancelled ya REALLY popular character 💀

[@JoveJoved]

Seems like this channel got sold off to a dishonest team.

[@feuryie]

and she had to be killed off in someone's else's comic to get any publicity and hardly anyone cared.

[@shaneg9081]

Pretty much every Marvel character gas had their comic canceled. Even Captain America and Iron Man have been canceled at some time.

[@feuryie]

@@shaneg9081 yeah. but most of them haven't been cancelled so quickly or soon as ones like miss marvel and captain marvel. you check how quickly the new ones have been launching and been cancelled and that isn't normal.

YESSS AN X-MEN THEORY

[@Taiiiate]

We need a theory on judyhopl0vr69’s new content theres ALOT of lore

[@jan_almeida]

What ruined the X-Men was Wolverine, suddenly everything was centred around him and the X-Men became background characters. I read the comics, and even in the X-Men cartoon the first "billing" wasn’t Wolverine. But, as your video proved, everything now is about Wolverine and that’s what everyone cares about. So… the X-Men are just kind of pointless! ✌️
