Pretty sure taking the Deadpool franchise as it stands out of competition would improve the quality of the genre.

People keep recycling the same points year after year. Eventually, they'll be right and they'll ignore the decade of wrong predictions.
With all the movies bombing in theaters in 2019, there are clearly a ton of issues all over the place but not with Marvel or superheroes.
Marvel hasn't redeemed a failed franchise yet. Spider-man is the closest, but that was still in decent shape and Marvel's top hero. They've re-built characters, like Hulk, but not franchises. It'll be an interesting test to see if their brand can overcome the stank around X-Men and FF on film. I'm surprised they're not just throwing them in other movies, first.
I don't really think it's that big of a hurdle really at least not for the X-Men the X-Men franchise Still Remains one of Marvel's most popular properties. All it takes is one good movie with the right cast and the word of mouth will take care of the rest.
I like someone else mentioned the best part the MCU is does shared Universe aspect of it. You can quite literally Cameo, tease, buildup individual X-Men characters before an X-Men movie even drops.

Rumor is they might be developing an Excalibur movie.
Don't quote me on any of this, I'm just the messenger. What would you think of an Excalibur movie?SCOOP – 11/7/19: Excalibur is coming to the MCU. Based on the Chris Claremont/Alan Davis comic-book series, Excalibur will be hybrid of fantasy and comedy featuring time travel, magic, and superheroics. This is part of Kevin Feige’s grand plan to inject new creative blood into the mutant franchise. If you’re wondering why Marvel Studios is introducing the Black Knight in The Eternals, this relatively obscure character is part of a larger overall goal, an X-Men offshoot that will be radically different from the main mutant films they will produce. Not only that, but it provides Captain Britain opportunities to soar. Imagine the MCU filtered through Time Bandits with a dash of Monty Python British humor.
I have a hard time reconciling Monty Python humor and the MCU. They don’t seem to fit together for me.
I mean, if they wanted to reboot the X-Men without starting the X-Men movies all over again, there are a lot of titles they could use, and the comics have just revived some of them (Excalibur, Fallen Angels).
Now that the MCU has already done a whole movie set in the 1990s, they'd even have an excuse to dust off the Generation X name.
I’ve said elsewhere and possibly here that Excalibur is to X-Men as GotG is to Avengers.
Introducing Rachel Summers as the time traveling daughter trope would actually be taken in stride in the context of a zany cross-time caper.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."
