the whole "X-Men Books are dead" panic attacks wouldn't have happened if marvel wasn't being so secretive for SDCC

I still strongly believe that Marvel knows exactly what they're doing. They know that their treatment of the X-men and the perception that they're being marginalized is having an impact. It's exactly the impact they're looking for in the sense that it gets the attention of fans. It gets people talking. It gets people emotional. That's a key goal for any business that involves multiple forms of media. Getting peoples' attention isn't the same as getting their money. At the end of the day, profits are the main goal. However, getting peoples' attention is the precursor to getting that money. In some ways, it's the most valuable commodity because without it, getting publicity and sales is next to impossible. It's pretty brilliant in the grand scheme of things. Playing into the perceptions that there's an agenda against the X-men keeps people emotional and invested. If handled correctly, that will pay big dividends down the line. We, as fans, might not see it. But we, the fans, have only ourselves to blame because this tactics works.

Well, given that DisMarvel doesnt plan to do anything with them anyways, i dont mind playing along.

That was the last game released before the ban was enacted, so CoC is fine until Kablam has to renew its license. There hasn't been a new game featuring the X-Men made since CoC.

When was the ban instituted?

When was the ban instituted?

Well, around 2014, and enforced since 2015.

Nah, this one is on people. We had literally many examples of them doing things to make people panic for press happen days/weeks/months before, yet people still chose to see it as a personal attack.

Complexers gunna complex regardless of what is actually going on. Everything is the impending doom

Yea, pretty much 'this' as the kids say.

Marvel could build giant gold statues of the X-men and there would be people complaining they aren't tall enough.

Its not a complex to notice the lack of xmen marketing, merchandise, and games.

[Iron Fist]

Yeah, Marvel should disregard their plans to announce something and just give it all away right now because Complexers can't help jumping to conclusions.

Seems legit.

Jumping to conclusions? Most of the conclusions the Complex has pointed out were correct.

[DDD]

Even a rumor site like BC printing hearsay is more reliable than Marvel.

Exactly, we've had confirmation from several companies that Marvel either refused to sell rights for them to use X-Men or flat out old them they couldn't use them in merchandise.

What happened in 2014 that caused them to do that?

No idea, i dont work there. Maybe Perlmutter was mad at the box office of the DoFP movie.

[The Negative Zone]

anyone else agree? we wouldn't have people freaking out claiming the x-men books are canned if marvel had just released their solicits already instead of just releasing a small checklist and then not saying anything else...

but nooo...marvel just has to keep everything a secret so they can wow the crowd at SDCC....

I guess Marvel should immediately tell us everything about what they're doing instead of being so "secretive" about everything.

Why do people think 2014 was the magic year where they decided to do it?

Problems at the Marvel Heroes game.
