We'll wrap with solietaire, who's looking several months into the future to ask, "Can you give us any hints about what's to come for the X-Franchise beyond the summer?"
Alonso: The X-Men office is taking the opportunity of "Secret Wars" to build an entire new world for the characters -- to create a shared universe within the X-books that's set off by a huge event/incident/surprise. At that point, they're going to introduce a new team that feels unlike anything you've seen before. It'll be... "extraordinary."

It's possible that Alonso is being metaphorical, but taking his words at face value it would seem Marvel is planning on splitting the X-Men titles into their own universe, separate from the primary Marvel universe. Although it might sound odd, Marvel did something similiar in 1996 wherein the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man and The Hulk were removed from the primary universe and into a seperate universe and seperate line.

"Segregating". Haha ironic word choice given the themes of X-Men. :P
ReplyDeleteik, a poor choice of word tbh
ReplyDeleteThat's literally the point. The group that's an analogy for minorities are the ones being segregated.
ReplyDeleteThey could have just left them there and had them fade away (like they're doing with the Fantastic Four). Instead Marvel is taking the ironic step and segregating them off.
property that doesen't belong to Marvel 100% is being pushed aside, kinda understandable from a business pov
ReplyDeleteMaks sense they want to prop their characters so the storylines can be adapted so easily.
ReplyDeleteYep. Some of them seem to be getting reworked so Marvel may be able to use them but the rest are being pushed aside. I'm expecting them to slowly fade them out over the next year or 2.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the Human Torch is joining the Inhumans so I wonder if Marvel is going to retcon him into being an Inhuman (Inhuman Torch?) so they can bring him into the movie-universe.
If The Flash can do Firestorm then Agents Of Shield could do a nice Inhuman Torch. (Plus I'd really like to see them play up the Spider-Man/Human Torch bromance)
ugh Spider-Man in the MCU, huh Human Torch now an Inhuman, not right
ReplyDeleteIs this more whining from Marvel Studios?
ReplyDeleteThey did cut off Fantastic Four after all.
lets not jumping to conclusion,shall we?
ReplyDeleteIf it's true.... is sounds a bit petty on Marvel's behalf... but I get it from a business POV...
ReplyDeleteI mean its always odd when you think about it, the way the X men verse is set up it makes it hard for other verse to make sense sometimes. Like where are the mutants when "that" is happening.
ReplyDeleteGood.
