Marvel studios is basically a super power now

and the conspiracy continues

I don't think this is true at all

How can FOX cancel COMIC BOOK toys?
They only own the movie rights

What shocks me is that, movies are movies. I think we all (begrudgingly) accept the current situation. However, now comics and collectibles are affected. It's starting to get ridiculous.

@blackandyellow Disney doesn't have the merchandizing rights. That's all tied up at Fox.

Specifically the profits are.

@Bulldawg2014

Marvel owns ALL merchandising rights to all their characters, both those tey have at home, as well as any properties currently licenced to Fox and Sony. Marvel never gave up toy rights, just live action film rights.

Yo, @Jollem! What's with the Bieber pics mang?

I'm sorry but I could care less about this. If the rights issue is the base for this animosity with FOX -then all the power to Marvel. Marvel has a good relationshp with other studios like SONY and Universal -but I feel FOX has gone out of their way to make it hard for Marvel to keep a friendly relationship open. FOX sued them over the television rights to "Mutant X" awhile back (and won!) and wasn't willing to work with Marvel during the rights swap for Daredevil and Galactus/Silver Surfer. FOX corporate has made it VERY clear over the years they want no relatinshp with Marvel over their X-Men and Fantastic Four licenses. SO why is it bad that Marvel is snipping their cord with FOX.

It obviously is a no-win situation for fans. But I see this more FOX wanting to keep their autonomy from a direct competitior (Disney). It would be nice this relationship was a two-way street. For all the hate Marvel gets -no one questions what part FOX had in creating this animosity between the studios. So in this situation, if Marvel wants to sever any tie with FOX -I'm all for it. To me, they've tried to work with FOX -but that company clearly didn't want to make it work with Marvel.

If others see it differently, that's fine. For me, I cannot see a situation that FOX or Marvel Studios could ever work out their differences. At least in most of our lifetimes. As long as FOX micro-manages these franchises to the point that they can make maximum profit to their company -they never need ask for Marvel's support. So why should Marvel make any effort in return. FOX makes no profit on X-Men merchandice -so does FOX even care on this issue. All this does is make Marvel look like the the bad guy and that works to FOX's favor. Then again, I doubt even Marvel cares at this point and I don't fault them for it.

WTF . . . .petty.
