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.

The X-Men were so big at their peak, they may as well have been their own brand seperate from Marvel.

[@nicsnort]

Honestly, I've always preferred the X-men as their own thing than part of the larger Marvel Universe. It just makes more sense and the roster is large enough that it could be its own thing (as the 2000s movies and most of the animated series show).

Disney trying to completely get rid of the X-Men is, ironically enough, lore accurate to how the mutants are treated in-universe.

This is not a theory, this is just a history lesson which comic fans have known for quite a while. It's still funny how Disney fixed everything they ruined with the mutants the moment they got their hands on them. Disney didn't hate the X-Men.

But to me that... is pretty unrealistic, even if Infinite did great in sales, the budget and return investment were mostly going towards the licensing.

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

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. I mean, we've already seen evidence of that with X-Men 97.

The only time the inhumans were done correctly was Agents of Shield.

Disney's doing the same thing to Star Wars,but all you're gonna hear is "the Fandom is toxic".

[@rayb5934]

It is toxic to dislike wet garbage

[@Drako2577]

I would say both is true. Disney is killing their own franchises, but the fan base can be extremely toxic

[@nimzi4479]

@@Drako2577 you have a greater chance of running into a. Disney saboteur worker than a toxic fan.

[@Drako2577]

@nimzi4479 i said "can be." And both can be true. The saboteur could be the extremely toxic fan they aren't mutually exclusive. Personally, i think disney needs to start over and jump so far ahead in the timeline that the material we currently have are now myths and legends.

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.

[@hazixweek6461]

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

Quicksilver. He's the perfect example of Disney just trying to get rid of the X-Men. Disney's Quicksilver doesn't make it past one MCU movie BUT after he's gone and Disney buys Fox a few years later the X-Men version of Quicksilver is now available to make an appearance in WandaVision.
