Before I get things underway I just want to make one brief political comment. I know things are...hectic now but that doesn't mean that the fight is over. If anything, this should inspire you to continue the fight. Continue spreading the word and continue to vote. Heck, if you vote the right person in then perhaps something can be fixed.
Never give up the fight.
As to the main topic at hand. It appears that Disney is pulling a Vince McMahon towards the film industry. This time the company that they've bought is Fox's movie assets. I can understand why people are going to be concerned. Fox's X-Verse is doing a better job with their films, more than DC/WB has been at the moment. And the primary concern is that we might not see as many R-Rated superhero materials.
There's even a worse case scenario, Disney could end up being lazy with their storytelling regarding the MCU. I have seen the consequences of not having competition.
Yet there is something we could possibly look forward to with this buyout. And today I'm going to list the top 5 reasons why we should be looking forward to X-Men & F-4 in the MCU. Why Top 5? Because I can.
5. The Fantastic Four Comes Back Home
Let us be honest with ourselves, Fox just couldn't do anything right with the Fantastic Four property. Fant4stic went beyond epic fail. Yet with their return to the MCU it means we might finally see some epic adventures across the world and through space. It would also be good to see a superhero married couple within the MCU. Something that the MCU doesn't have as of late.
4. Doctor Doom
With all the talk about Marvel's villain problem, Doctor Doom could be the step in the right direction. We might finally see a Masters of Evil Arc in the MCU with Doctor Doom being the villain that puts the band together.
3.The X-Men Might Be A Separate Universe
I have one possible theory. Say Disney decides to take a break from The Avengers for awhile? This could give them time to start building the X-Men in a universe separate from the prime MCU. Much like how Supergirl is in a universe that is separate from the rest of the Arrowverse but can still have a few crossovers with the Arrowverse cast. By putting the X-Men with its own universe it gives the X-Men a chance to have its own identity.
2. The Fastball Special
We could finally see this live on the big screen!!!
1. A Good Rogue/Mystique For A Change
Because the two deserve better than what they're getting already.

Why I Wont Invest In MCU's Spider-Man?
First off, it isn't because I've got some kind of "emotional connection" with the Raimi Spider-Man films. As good as, the first two at least, are I find Toby's Spider-Man to be lackluster regardless of the fact that Marvel Fanatics speak of that version of the Spider-Man character like he's Christopher Reeve's Superman. And Toby's Spider-Man is no Reeve's Superman.
The key reason why I'm not going to bother looking at either Homecoming or anything involving MCU's Spider-Man is that MCU's Spider-Man is one giant contradiction to the Spider-Man character.
When Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee he was created as Stan Lee's answer to kid heroes. You see, Stan Lee hated sidekick heroes. So he created Spider-Man as a means to have the kid hero be his own man and not be dependent on another superhero. While providing a lesson on the true meaning of being a superhero.
Peter Parker wasn't a rich guy, he wasn't a guy born from another planet. He was an everyman. A smart everyman but still an everyman. Who'd have to work hard to earn what he got and never had anything handed to him on a silver platter. What does the MCU do with this version? Turn him into a sidekick and give him a costume that was made by Tony Stark. They might as well call him Iron Kid while they're at it. Case en point the MCU turned Peter Parker into a sidekick. To make matters worse, they made him kinda dumb.
It's like the MCU took away what made Peter Parker such an inspiration and turned him into some bland hipster superhero sidekick. Hell, last time I've checked, Marvel Comics turned him into a wannabe Tony Stark. It's like turning Batman into someone that isn't Batman.
But yeah, I'm not going to invest in the MCU's version of Peter Parker and quite frankly I'd be a little concerned what the MCU could do to the X-Men if things go their way on the Fox movie and tv buyout. I wouldn't be too concerned about the Fantastic Four. After the trainwreck that was Fant4stic not even Disney could make a F-4 movie just as bad.
