The Complex

[ChildOfTheAtom]

FF Avengers Spider-Man etc are all NYC heroes

X-Men was put upstate for a reason back in the day I think its time for X-Men to leave Marvel I'd be much happier.

and they are also beginning early in their cross-marketing for x-men apocalypse.

for example, m&ms (america's favorite candies), is currently running an apocalypse campaign with the hashtag #mformutant

Just because Marvel isn't pushing the X-Men doesn't mean they aren't popular...

[fabulousmax]

Well, at least the X-men make any money; unlike the Inhumans, whose most popular characters mostly doesnt anything to do with them, and their team books sell as much as Storm's solo book.

Funny you brought up storm. Lowest selling marvel book despite still being a single digit issue. Inhuman sold as much as cyclops and storm combined. Maybe that's why xmen shouldn't be getting more books.

Marvel willing to deal, fox isn't:

It's only the "Age of the Avengers" as far as the MCU, and maybe Disney/Marvel, is concerned. FOX is still making X-Men movies that make a shit-ton of money and the X-Men comics still sell. Age of the Avengers, my ass...

Yeah that's fox. What does it have to do with marvel? Or do you expect marvel to promote a rival company?

[Bl00dwerK]

Guardians of the Galaxy next week. Star-Lord, Venom and Drax on November. Infinity and RR&G on December. Gamora still hasn't a date but it is confirmed to be happening.

So the push is on, I guess. It's gonna be quite enjoyable to see nearly every one of those books get cancelled due to poor sales...

The X-Men still belong to Marvel, they just can't make movies about them. Promoting the X-Men isn't promoting a rival company. It may be all about the Avengers as far as Marvel goes, but to everybody else it's not...

So the most profitable aspect of the franchise doesn't belong to marvel? I don't see an incentive to give xmen priority over anything else except maybe f4.

What do you mean everybody else? Don't see anyone complaining about this except for the complex.

your happy with this?
this happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR

look at past X men movie promotions
they make a deal with coke, candy, foodlines, and then get a KIDS meal toy at Carl's Jr
Then they get a CRAPPY Minimate toyline and 1 single Wolverine Hot toy

it happens every year! Dis-marvel doesn't let FOX release REAL merchandise so they settle for Promotions

Most fans, movie-goers, etc., don't even visit these forums. If the X-Men weren't still wildly popular the movies wouldn't make any money. Just because Marvel is butthurt doesn't mean the X-Men are any less popular than they have been...

Yes but the point is the movie money mostly goes to fox not marvel. I think you know this.
So not much incentive to put xmen above avengers, guardians, inhumans for even howard the duck.

Inhuman came in at #95 and sold 25,510 Magneto came in at 104 with 22888. Inhuman sold lower than every Team X-book out that month. According to your sales logic the Inhumans should have way less books than the upcoming team books. Wait that is right your sense of self-entitlement forces you to think that the Inhumans deserve more because they have a movie coming out someday.

So the Inhuman's main team book made the same amount of money as two low-selling solo X-books; that's why the Inhumans shouldn't be getting books anymore.

Well, what that article says is that FOX didnt had any problem with giving Daredevil (and the Punisher) back to Marvel, and the reason of why they wanted to keep Galactus and the Silver Surfer is because they were making a movie; all of this sounds pretty logical to me, i dont know what are you talking about ?.

No marvel is trying to push the inhumans. I never denied that. We'll see if there is a payoff in 2019 like it did for guardians.
Xmen on the otherhand don't have a movie coming in for marvel and therefore will get lower priority. Marvel does things in its self interest like any business including fox. Why do you force marvel to a different standard?

Except they're not making a galactus or silver surfer movie. And only forced a loss-making f4 movie to keep the rights. Like I said who is the one being petty?
