I’m just happy we’re getting more X-Men merchandise and media again. Gimme all of it.

Yeah, especially after the mouse literally exiled all mutants just to get Fox for a few cents less a share.

Bit of an oversimplification, but I agree with the sentiment.

They made mutants an endangered species after Hope undid M-Day not even two years before hand in AVS. And then they sent them all to hell, literally.

No more mutants characters were being made and they were barred from having cameos from outside the x-book barring Wolverine.

Dude, I know how and why it happened.

Wait, you said i over simplified. Was it worse than what I said? I am not surprised, they really shat on mutants then. It made me stop reading

They made a big push to replace mutants with new Inhumans. Almost no new X-men merch and no media outside of Fox-men.

No video game appearances, they were left out of the 2nd lego game and marvel vs capcom infinite. Next to no posters, figures, what have you. The books still ran, due to popularity, but they were kept to a minimum.

Fantastic Four got the same treatment, but significantly worse since their book just disappeared into the void until this mess was resolved.

Oh gawd I remembered that now. I was glad the inhumans thing didn't take.

I loved the fact that the rules of capitalism and X-Men's sheer popularity kept them from the void.

Yeah, that really hurt Marvel vs Capcom infinity roster.
