10 Problems For Marvel Studios If They End Up Owning Every Character
6. Each Franchise Having A Different "Feel"
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is meant by the "feel" of each of these franchises, but the fact is they have very different and distinct atmospheres and tones, which would make combining them a very difficult task. Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings seem to have a lighter tone to Sony and Fox's productions and they focus on very different aspects of the lead characters' lives. Sony's Spider-Man movies, for example, keep the lead character much more grounded, as he focuses on his relationships as Peter Parker and his family just as much as he focuses on his life fighting super-powered enemies as Spider-Man. The X-Men movies, on the other hand, feel almost operatic and deal with real life problems such as bigotry and discrimination, as well as major events from history. There's also the fact that things like magic and aliens have been explored in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while both Sony and Fox's universes are very much based on Earth science (albeit advanced Earth science). There would be so many potential clashes if these realities got thrown together that it would actually seem quite ludicrous.
