Wait a minute. Maybe this has been discussed before, but I thought Deadpool isn't actually a mutant, so how did Fox get the rights to him?
Via Contract? They have rights to lots of non mutants so why would this be any different. He mot likely just got bundled into as part of the "xman family"

I'm guessing that Fox owns more than just "mutant" the deal was made back in 94' when Marvel was nearly bankrupt and at it's low, Fox probably really owns the x-men franchise and all inclusive. Like Trask and Striker are human(the mutant haters) but belong to the xmen franchise.

Also back then, Deadpool was just another one of the 50 mutants they created in the 90's, he even first appeared in "New Mutants" and his weapon X origins weren't explored until much later.

Basically I think, if the characters were created and featured in almost exclusively xmen titles, then Fox owns it.

New Line Cinema originally owned the rights to make the Deadpool movie but that sort of floundered as they weren't allowed to connect him to the X-Men (including the Weapon X Project) in any way. In 2004, they sold the rights to FOX.

I saw this video about the Death of Superman, and death in comics in general, and wanted to share. We've been talking killing characters in the Marvel thread, but this is a DC thing here for the most part so here it goes. It's sort of a drunk history thing.


Lots of cameos and at least 1 porn actress I recognize.

That was all sorts of awesome.

So who's this dork who apparently knows Ron Howard, Simon Pegg, Frodo, and probably some chicks I don't recognize?

Also, video was pretty great, and probably quite true. Fuck assholes who cavalierly screw with beloved stories and such. I've never been a Superman fan, but plenty of the things that I do love have been fucked over by asshats who just don't have any respect for it.

While what he said is good, he still comes off as a bit of a douche though.
Go figure that the King of the Superman Fanboys has a problem with the clip. He said Batman could beat Doomsday in a few seconds with a little preparation, but Superman acts like a retarded and drunk fratboy, and you go apeshit. Go back to the Man of Steel thread where you belong.

You got all that from "While what he said is good, he still comes off as a bit of a douche though." ? That's pretty impressive!

Abefroman summarized it pretty well already, but wow, you saw WAY more in my comment than was even remotely in my head when I typed it, and you actually seem genuinely upset. I don't like the guy himself, not the content of what he said. I agree with most of what he said actually, since apparently I wasn't clear enough on that point the first time.

You know, quite often you have some really good info about comics, movies, hell even running your own business. I'm capable of recognizing those moments as times when I should pay attention to what you're saying. Too bad those moments are getting fewer and fewer.

I had forgotten about Doomsdays stupid origin being like the exact opposite of Darwinian evolution.

Opposite? Thought it was more like manipulated/forced evolution, like hyper eugenics on a micro scale. Each time he dies he's adapting to something new and harsh so the next clone is the next step in his evolution.

He's like Syndrome's robots in The Incredibles!

Don't worry, my hatred for you only applies to subjects involving Superman. Pretty much after the Man of Steel thread, I'm going to hump your leg every time you bring him up. Other than that, we are good.
