All the Disney movies coming to Netflix is crazy. I never would have guessed Disney would do that considering how seriously they take their vault. What is also cool it includes all the Lucas Arts films as well! Don’t forget that.

For my part I want them to stop making the movies, for three reasons:
1) The fact that Fox is holding the movie rights makes Marvel push the X-Men to the background in the comic universe
2) I want to watch X-Men movies with the care and treatment of MCU that we’ve been spoiled over the past years. And I’m only betting on Marvel themselves to do that.
3) I hate seeing my favorite comics being diluted. I’m all for proper re-imaginings, but I don’t think these movies are doing that, and neither are they doing justice to the characters. I’d rather see no movies than bad movies, but that’s just me.
So yeah, as a huge fan of X-Men, the only way out I see is X-Men being left alone for a few years, being dropped by Fox, and come back better. I’d make a Phoenix analogy, but I think that’d be too cheesy :) FWIW I liked First Class, but even DofP, was the beginning of a steady decline, in my opinion.
I would love to see the Avengers vs X-Men story line playout on the screen some how. That would be epic.
