The new FF movie is a total joke!

If Marvel had all the licenses back, movies would be coming out at a slower pace and we may not see them deeper explore their characters all around.

As for the new Fantastic 4, until seeing how it turns out, I can't really comment on it. People thought DOFP was going to be a mess and it turned out fine. The same to many other films that people want to snap to judgments on.

True, Marvel could potentially make more money if those properties were under their control again. But imagine how much money Disney would have to shell out to make and promote 4-6 films a year instead of the two they're doing this year.

That's not even mentioning how much work would be involved in making all those films. I would hazard a guess that the production schedule would slow down dramatically if Marvel Studios became the only one to produce Marvel films. Then again, maybe they need to, given that article in the NY Post.

This. The only thing having the licenses back would bolster is the live action developments on series and the combined universe usages for cameos. There wouldn't be the same amount of movies per year we've been getting.

ROGER CORMANS Fantastic Four ring any bells?
Reb Brown Captain America???

over saturation will kill any idea no matter how good it is or who owns the property. Once upon atime there were several Harry Potter clone movies that came out...they SUCKED! Now its all about Superheroes due to Batman and the Avengers ect...Whats next?? that's what the Studios and toy companies are trying to figure out...

Then maybe they should ask the same crystal ball that got them to this point. Or I don't know, here's a silly thought. Pay for the advice they've already taken if they expect more.
