It really doesn't make sense that people in the Marvel universe would love a freakish looking monster like the Thing, but hate say, Kitty Pyrde or that religious zealots would hate mutants, but would be okay with someone claiming to be a Norse god.
I wouldn't want Avengers vs. X-Men to become a movie event, I wouldn't want Movie Scarlet Witch to depower almost all the mutants, etc.
I like the fact the X-Men movies can go into darker territory, while a lot of the MCU movies remain light hearted and fun. Fox did an alright job with the X-men movies, they have had 3 good ones, two okay ones and two bad ones. Some characters got screwed over, like Cyclops, but I am hoping that after they did a soft Reboot with Days of Future Past, Cyke will have more to do X-Men Apocalypse. I would much rather Fantastic Four return to Marvel, Fox can't seem to make a good FF film and really they were more involved with the rest of the Marvel Universe then the X-Men have been till recently.
Also I think if Marvel had the rights to Spider-Man and the X-Men, we may not have had more obscure characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy make it to the Silver Screen.
