@tmp3 - Yup. What a shame WB put Shazam in April in between 2 mega Marvel Studios films. It would have done significantly better as a Summer film.

@CorndogBurglar - I’ve seen the current movie, and that old leaked Reddit summary is in fact true. Based on that, it’s easy to see that only one scene took place in space, at the end, with the title character. You even see said scene in the leaked trailer. Where did he say the act took our characters to space. It was on earth through and through. There was a more cosmic element, that’s what he said. What’s more cosmic than a fleet of ships?

@CaptainAmerica - Aw sounds like you're a Fox-Men fan. I'm sorry...

@CaptainAmerica - Well that's obviously not true then. Did you like F4ntastic, too? Lol

Fox NEVER gave us definitive cinematic versions of the X-Men characters. Not only that but they made them look generic as fvck all franchise long. Hell, it took the Deadpool movies to make a proper Colossus. Let's toss in a completely fvcked timeline continuity, inconsistent character portrayal, and attempting a rewrite of Dark Phoenix within its own universe and there's your recipe for a bland and forgettable franchise. The writing was just simply lazy.

Looks to me I'm not the mindless one. Just someone who appreciates quality. Has nothing to do with some loyalty to a single studio. Fox had the chance to deliver but perpetually failed with few exceptions. I mean Fox had the X-MEN and FANTASTIC 4!! Aside from Spider-Man they were the most popular Marvel properties in the world. Marvel Studios created a legacy with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy! Properties considered B and C list. And shit, Ant-Man not only reviewed MILES better than X-Men: Apocalypse but it out performed in the box office, too. Case in point, Fox put out subpar movies that fell short despite having the A-List properties at their disposal. It's honestly embarrassing.

So yes. Good riddance to the Fox-Men.

@CaptainAmerica - And I think you're missing my point, too. I mentioned "few exceptions" with regard to the Fox-Men franchise. I enjoyed Deadpool; I enjoyed Logan. But those film experiences don't lend to the other films. Much like if only 2 or 3 episodes of a tv show's full season were good...that show would be summed up as a bust.

The universe as a whole is what is so compelling. And so because Fox sucked at long term storytelling and continuity (timelines, time periods, character adaptations, character portrayals) the overall experience suffered. Which results in the franchise's reputation being net negative. Therefore, fvck Fox and their stubborn attempts at a Marvel universe. I LOVE the damn X-Men. So naturally I'm going to resent the studio that handled them so poorly. And yes I'm eager for Marvel Studios to finally write them into the MCU. Not because I have an arbitrary allegiance to Marvel Studios and only Marvel Studios. But because Marvel Studios has given me a reason to trust them with Marvel properties and other studios have been unreliable. See how that works? Success is all about consistency.

On another note, yes Thor 2 was subpar. But major elements of that movie lend to the entire cinematic universe as a whole. Is anyone dying to go back and watch it? No. But we can still point back to it in reference to the Reality Stone and Thor's character development.
