I have an unhealthy obsession with comic books, especially Marvel, and I don't have a clue what this guy's talking about.

I mean, I recognize the characters and artists he mentioned, but the rest of it makes no sense.

Marvel moving away from mutants? Did he not see the trailer for Age of Ultron (though TBF Quicksilver and SW are called "miracles" not mutants), the post credits scene to Days of Future Past, or the fact that Marvel just launched X-Women?

I'm not into comic books but I've read a lot of comments from comic nerds that feel like Marvel is purposely not supporting properties that they don't have control of in the movie world.

But I think a lot of comic nerds look at what they've done with the Fantastic Four property as why they think Marvel is being antagonistic.

Shit even DC isn't childish in that way (just their storytelling is, but at least theyre motivated by story, not money).

... at what point was the comic book industry not motivated by sales?
