Film Theory: The X-Men Should Be VERY Afraid of Disney!

*🦹‍♂️ Don't be a VILLAIN!*

Boy oh boy, loyal Theorist, the Disney+ X-Men 97 show was SUCH a banger. We still can't get over how awesome it is to see Wolverine on the small screen AND on the big screen, in Deadpool & Wolverine, this summer. Now we all know the worst X-Men villains like Magneto, Apocalypse, and Sabretooth; but did you know that NONE of them hold up to the worst X-Men villain of all.... Disney!

I love how this weeks video isn't a theory, it's sort of a mini video essay on what happened to the x-men as of late

[knottyorchid]

to quote Scarlet witch

"No More Mutants"
literally describes Disney to X-Men

[WebbedManiac]

This is not a theory, this is just a history lesson which comic fans have known for quite a while. It's still funny how Disney fixed everything they ruined with the mutants the moment they got their hands on them.

Disney didn't hate the X-Men. They just hated that such a valuable IP was owned by a rival studio.

"Some of their characters are... less recognizable."

*Picture of Forget-Me-Not flashes briefly across the screen.*

Hey, I saw what you did there, and your writers are still top-notch and brilliant.

[TeeJai.]

Disney has the same energy as the angry spoiled little sibling who can’t share, and would rather break something than give it to someone else

[denizplays]

If I remember correctly, I still find it funny that Stan Lee created the X-Men because he was sick and tired to come up with origin stories for each character, so what did Stan do? BAM!!! Mutants and that's it 😂

[ronakdave]

"Disney is the biggest villain of X-Men"

Meanwhile the Justice League: first time??

[CaptainCat]

It's funny that Disney tried to completely distance themselves from X-men because it was oned by a rival studio, but they didn't really do that with Spider-Man (and Hulk I guess). I guess Spider-Man is too big of a cash cow to mess with.

Magneto’s backstory was that he was a Jewish boy who was sent to a death camp during the Holocaust, where his entire family was killed. This formed the background for what he believes and why he acts the way he does.

[daner]

The Inhumans where not ripoffs of the X-Men until Disney. Half of the similarities came after the X-Men Purge.

Lee I have to say this is now my favorite film theory. You have really stepped up to the plate and taken on the big issues like Disney doing things like this. Thank you for saying what NEEDS to be said and also explaining WHY people should care. Keep doing incredible ❤

In honor of A Quiet Place: Day 1 coming out soon, it would be amazing if you guys did a theory on how loud you have to get before one of the aliens hears you.

[kingaxolotl]

6:28 The fact that the x men and fantastic 4 were huge parts of Lego marvel superheroes 1 but were no where in the sequel is just infuriating

[Da_Donut]

NO WAY!!! I COULD NEVER BELIEVE THAT DISNEY IS AS PETTY AS REVERSE FLASH!!! HOW COULD THEY BE!?!?!?

[anijitha.k]

Donald the Duck: Why don't you show some respect, mutie?
You're looking at the Mouse who wiped out your kind.

Mickey the Mouse: My friend Donald overstates.He makes it sound more brutal than intended.
The goal was not to end the mutant kind, but to control it.

Logan: Making Inhumans of your own?

[cherrytonshawty]

The X-Men were so big at their peak, they may as well have been their own brand seperate from Marvel.

[Lrbearclaw]

I was wondering when Film Theory would tackle this topic. I mean, Bob covered this YEARS ago on either "In Bob We Trust" or "The Big Picture" (I forget which) and as a guest writer, it just makes sense that Team Theorist would cover this topic.

And this week is the PERFECT time for it.

In honor of A Quiet Place: Day 1 coming out soon, it would be amazing if you guys did a theory on how loud you have to get before one of the aliens hears you. 9:47

Disney absolutely tanking a show that was going well? They’ve never done that before!

[Prof.steelSRM]

7:10 You left out a big detail. Disney OWNS 21st Century Fox and its assets. And this has been since 2019.
