    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am a fan of both. Also, they're that different? Embracing of the silly nature of the source material, faithful replication of the look and tone, strong character focus, humor throughout the narrative? That's exactly how the MCU rolls.

    Haven't followed the Marvel cartoons, so no clue about that (although I will concede that the art style didn't appeal to me). Sadly, people in the real world generally love the Marvel movies. Same with Star Wars, which has been overall a success (and yes, the fans hate it, but their pathological hated of Star Wars is normal and would be there no matter who was making it, so that's to be expected). I get it that you have a great deal of hatred for Disney and the MCU, but there's a difference between having your own opinion and not wanting to accept that it's not a popular one.

    Except for the fact that until Feige supervised an MCU X-Men movie, there's nothing to go on how well the adaptation would or would not work, that you have to ignore the goofy stuff that the franchise also has in its DNA, and there is something to be said for the Fox series' chronic unevenness (and am saying this as someone who does like that series overall). Frankly, I think that saying Feige has the power to redeem or destroy the X-Men movies is premature, at best. Let him do what he will. If we don't like it, we don't have to watch it.

    Didn't watch Legion, so I couldn't directly compare, however, seeing as Feige supervised the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Doctor Strange, and Thor: Ragnarok, he's no slouch when it comes to getting people who know how to make impressive visuals sequences.

    Just like with Raimi, that doesn' really make any sense. Once again, character focus, use of humor, and, in this case, hopeful tone over the nihilism of the Snyderverse that then made up the rest of the DCEU. Sorry, but I don't see it.

    Haven't had a chance to see it yet, so no spoilers please.
