Are Disney burying another beloved Comic brand in their petulance?

[Darth Snoopy]

Supporting Fox with merchandise that Disney will make poor returns on is a waste of time for Disney. It would be one thing if they owned the movie rights, but they don't. Why would they bother? Because you want X-Men toys?

Disney exists to make Disney money. If you want new X-Men stories, draw and write them yourself.

Fox is saying "sorry Marvel, no movie rights," so Disney is saying, "sorry Fox, no tie-in merchandising." It's completely fair.

If Fox wants to make it worth Disney's while to distribute toys and books then they can split the IP with Disney and allow for movies that make both sides happy and for both sides to profit. If WB and MGM can work out the mess that was The Hobbit and other studios can share in the budget on certain movies like Avatar where one gets domestic profits and the other international then surely Fox can work with Disney especially since outside of movies those are *Disney's* characters.

Fans have no one to blame but Fox for all of this.

Two good posts and I agree 100%.
