And why do you think they didnt want to?

Disney was able to put X-Men characters in MvC Infinite but chose not to in order to promote The Avengers.

Now that they've bought the movie rights and will benefit from promoting X-Men, maybe they'll come as DLC.

Blah blah Monopoly is all you can say - one sentence wonders.

Do some research and look up the history of Marvel Licensing rights

The irony.

You have to love how people are cheering for this. As if Disney having an even BIGGER monopoly of the ENTIRE entertainment industry, could ever be any kind of good thing.

Yeah, X-Men and FF can now somehow be shoe-horned, far too late, into the MCU, so that Disney can continue to pump out 3+ Marvel films per year. Every year. For the next several decades.

Honestly....the movie industry is in the sorry state that it is, specifically because the modern movie-going audience has not only allowed them to get this bad, but cheerfully helped them to. People proved with every new Transformers or Fast and the Furious or now Star Wars film, that they will gladly pay for shit. And because shit makes money, movie studios will continue to produce more shit that people will continue to pay for.

People vote with their dollars, and instead of creativity and risk taking and bold new ideas, people have let studios know that what they apparently really want, is a never-ending stream of sequels, franchises, remakes and reboots. So congrats, movie-goers. You did this to yourselves.

This. All of it.

I'm shocked to see these users that are normally concerned about such practices from other companies (and in other industries) now suddenly cheering for a company reaching 40% market share, controlling media/social networks and churning out generic yearly releases.

Today's people are truly demoted to be mindless consumers. Nothing more.

The problems we face in a first world country.  For shame.  I'm just glad the pickle jar is full of pickles for my daughter's school lunches.
