I want to say a quickie thing about this.
I’ve noticed very, very recently that Marvel’s being a bit more respectful to the stuff owned by Fox now. I didn’t post about it, but the Marvel Entertainment E-mail account has used Deadpool as the focus to advertise Marvel happenings. Now, we have Apocalypse Wars as well, which ties into the coming Fox film.
This is a good sign in terms of not just the future of the X-Men franchise, but in terms of Marvel’s future too. I’m not sure who between the two companies is the one to thank, so I’ll assume it’s Marvel at least for the time being.
Marvel’s finally doing the smart thing here. Instead of tearing down these franchises and cutting them out just because Fox owns the film rights, they’re now trying to take advantage of Fox promoting these franchises via films to draw people into the rest of the Marvel universe.
Hopefully, this translates into more opportunities and use for Polaris. Apocalypse Wars would be a damn good chance to pull in Lorna’s time as Pestilence. It could even serve as an excellent in-roads to finally seeing one potential storyline pursued: Lorna dealing with that anti-Apocalypse cult that tried to kill her. It was a throwaway line used only as an excuse to send her into space at the time, but it could’ve made for a whole awesome story arc.
