It's been awhile since I've posted a thought topic here but I've came across something that inspired me to post a topic. I'm a poster on a comicbook website called Comic Book Resources, Legato to the curious. On said website I'd sometimes read and even get involved in topics relating to comic movies and this one actually caught my eye. Someone commented on why X-Men and Fantastic Four should be a shared universe.
Honestly it's the age old debate. People have been demanding that the X-Men should cross over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And we are kinda getting that with the appearance of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. This kind of topic has been going on ever since Iron Man made the MCU a household name. You know what my answer to this is? The X-Men shouldn't be shared with the rest of the Marvel Universe.
Now I'm not talking about the X-Films here I'm talking about the X-Verse in general. I know that some of the X-Characters have a history with some of the Marvel heroes. Like Spider-Man and Captain America to name a few but think about this. The general public can accept guys like Spider-Man, regardless what JJJ says, the Fantastic Four, Thor, or any non mutant born superpowered hero yet a mutant couldn't walk a few blocks without running into Sentinels or Anti-Mutant Groups that want mutants dead. Between you and me that sounds a little silly.
You have guys like Thor who is a God and has the technology to wipe out the whole world yet the general public is like"OH THOR IS AWESOME!!!" Then you have mutants like say Jean Grey and the general public is like "KILL THE MUTIE!!!"
Also I've always ask myself when the X-Men are dealing with mutant related issue then where are heroes like The Avengers or the Fantastic Four? Don't any of them care about the mutant crisis? And if they do then why aren't they helping the X-Men?
Personally when the story arcs are focused on just the X-Men some of them can be pretty entertaining. Also I feel that the X-Men has such a large variety of characters and a rich history that I believe they're capable of standing on it's own away from the other Marvel heroes. Plus it would make the story of them finding human acceptance much more believable.
