Have the FoX-Men movies negatively affected the X-Men as a brand?

Although the movies did have a fanbase, I do wonder how much of it was left by the end. As I said in the OP...


It feels all too true. I honestly don't think anyone I saw was pumped for Dark Phoenix, and it just felt like something that had to pass. I think the impending MCU reboot did a lot to kill whatever potential Dark Phoenix had in terms of success, regardless of quality.

I'd agree with that, but it's hard to blame the movies for extraordinary circumstances. Outside of that, though, I think there was less excitement for the main movies than there was for some of the upcoming spin-offs - more Deadpool films, New Mutants, X-Force, etc.
