FX is exiting Marvel’s planned Deadpool animated TV series.
The cable network, as well as Donald Glover and Stephen Glover, will no longer be involved in the series. The Atlanta star and his brother were set to write, executive produce and serve as showrunners on what was described as an animated adult action-comedy series originally intended to launch this year on FXX that was to be based on the comic book giant’s Deadpool. It’s unclear if Marvel Television will shop the series elsewhere (or if it could wind up on Disney’s planned direct-to-consumer subscription service).

so you think R rated marvel movies are going to disappear when the Fox merger goes through?

i mean I think it just depends on the material. Obviously Deadpool is something that people expect to be R rated now and I think most would say it is necessary for the proper Deadpool experience. Yes Disney marvel has their formula and clearly it has given them mass success. Their movies are tend to be very fun and crowd pleasing. My problem with the MCU though is that to me it feels like everything is sort of shackled by various guidelines, and unfortunately, i dont think you can get movies like Deadpool or Logan or The Dark Knight if you are under their system. Those movies were able to be what they were because they were not under the MCU’s formula. I mean do you really think we would have ever gotten a film like Logan if Disney had the rights to wolverine? I just feel like this limits marvel’s potential in a number of ways.

The parents that were furious about Deadpool being R – A)obviously never read a Deadpool comic and B) shouldn’t be parenting if they feel that way as the rating system tells YOU what is appropriate not the other way around. Entitled shits.

Jumping ship because of the Disney thing, just like Ryan Murphy.
