One good thing from this, no more terrible Fox Marvel movies.  Soon, soon they will all come back to Marvel Studios

False. Fox owns the rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four in "perpetuity," meaning that as long as they continue to develop them, they will retain the license. Unfortunately, Fox will hold the licenses for as long as they're relevant.

Chesire Cat:
Fortunately Fantastic 4 are incredibly boring, so Fox is welcome to the rights for as long as they want to make shitty Marvel movies.

Given that Marvel was hemorrhaging money every month they did this to keep the comic and movies going...Disney has more money then God and the Saudis

Ummm...what?

Marvel's probably about the most profitable comic company out there...

Sure, they're not doing nearly the business they did in the early nineties and having Disney in charge should help financial matters, "hemorrhaging money" isn't just a stretch, it's an outright incorrect statement. Where the hell did you get that idea? Economy aside, Marvel's actually at one of the more profitable points they've been since the late nineties. For June, the last reported month in sales estimates, Marvel more than doubled the next closest competitor for overall cash influx ($13.1 million versus DC's $6.2 million). That may not seem like a whole lot of money for most big corporations, but let's take into account that the #3 publisher on the month, IDW, took in less than a million on the month.

Did you just pull that out of nowhere, or do you actually follow any of this stuff?
