I really wish MCU die hards didn't have the need the put down other CBMs because they don't like them. I really, really wish they'd just be real and say they don't appreciate the experience they offer versus what you get with DisMarvel. Because that's ultimately what it comes down to.
You can't honestly say MCU follows the all too precious "source material" much better than any other studio. And if I wanted to play that game I could easily point out how the majority of MCU characters barely resemble their comic counter parts. Ultron, Ant-Man, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Zemo, Mandarin... The list goes on and on with regards to how their studio will show horn ideas into their films to fit the flow and narrative they're trying to achieve. But only Fox and WB get called on those types of discrepancies.
As far as continuity goes, that's another BS argument I'm sick of hearing. Because it's again only a problem in movies that aren't MCU sponsored. I get that DisMarvel has built this great universe of films that all look and feel exactly the same. They're all shot the same and have the same tone. And I fully understand that people have come to expect that at this point from CBMs. But it's not realistic. It's a bubble that's going to burst just like the 90s collector boom. What people commonly refer to "continuity errors" in other studios films are really just filmmaking tricks that are almost necessary in order to tell a story with a beginning, middle and end. But MCU movies aren't bogged down by that whole story-telling mechanics mumbo jumbo because they aren't really telling a story in two and a half hours. They're only advancing one. Some people enjoy that and that's fine, I'm not going to rain on their parade cause it isn't my cup of tea. But you have to understand that's what's going on. In my estimation, they aren't producing movies as much as commercials for more movies to come at a later date.
How is splitting hairs over how old Archangel is in Apocalypse versus X3 any different that wondering where the rest of the Avengers are in Winter Soldier when there are helicarriers crashing on the Washington mall? Or why didn't any Avengers help Tony when he was attacked in his home by the Mandarin? It's called suspension of disbelief! And you're willing to give that to MCU movies but not to movies by Fox or WB.

In summation, don't post these crazy tirades trying to use some quasi intellectual nonsense to justify your dislike for the other team. Just come correct and say that's not your team and so you're gonna openly root against them. That's cool. At least you're being honest. You can't point to a single shred of evidence that DisMarvel would do the X-Men any better than Fox. In fact, I could cite the fact that the mastermind and head of the MCU, Kevin Feige produced the first several X-Men and Spider Man films as evidence they couldn't. You say give them a crack at the franchise and I say their golden boy has had one.
