Why did Marvel even allow him to pull this **** in a long term franchise like this and under the circumstances with Fox.

Blacking out almost the whole post for the benefit all three members who are yet to see A:AOU.
Highly doubt Quicksilver dying was Whedon's decision. He said he'd filmed two versions, one in which Pietro dies (which they ended up using) and one in which he was grievously injured, but not dead (which they ended up ditching). Personally, I think this was more of a business oriented move than "purely" a narrative/storytelling device. While I'm about to take a small trip into tinfoil territory, I think my reasoning is somewhat sound.... My thought is that this might be due to a shake-hand agreement with Fox, who've been uncharacteristically friendly with Disney off late. QS might have been sacrificed in order to avoid confusion with the X-version of QS in order to bring the FF rights home, among other things going back and forth between the two companies. The recent announcement of the Star Wars digital download proves that Disney and Fox are negotiating at some level since Fox owns the distribution rights to the original Star Wars (i.e. Episode 4) in perpetuity. While all of this is highly speculative in nature, I think that some kind of "enterprise level" deal is being negotiated between Disney and Fox that involves the following: * QS dies in A:AOU so that the X-version is the only QS kicking about currently. Maybe Fox agrees not to use Wanda in their movies. * Disney can include Episode 4 in Star Wars box sets, etc. * Fox knows they have a stinker on their hands with FF, and renounce the rights after that movie's theatrical run. * Disney/Marvel approves X-Men TV shows. Currently, Fox cannot put X-Men-based shows on TV without Marvel/Disney's approval. * Some kind control over X-Men-based merchandise going to Fox. |

In the empire podcast, Joss even admitted that killing off Quicksilver was his idea. Splitting up the twins between different universes is a dumb idea to begin with anyways. IMO, the alternate ending shot is going to be thrown into an end credits scene on any upcoming MCU movie if they want to revive him. According to Joss, it was just a scene with Quicksilver waking up...which technically isn't an alternative ending since there was no confirmation of his death out side of getting shot. I doubt Marvel/Disney gives a rats ass what Fox does with their version of Quicksilver and vice-versa. If they did, he wouldn't even be in the movie to begin with. |

^ Exactly. But it was still a stupid move on Whedon's part, imo. Especially when your version is the better one in every way.
Absolutely ridiculous. |

Yet people keep overlooking Urich, Owlsley (Sr.) , and Wesley's deaths in Daredevil. Unless the Soul Gem extends to them, these death poke a hole in that growing water balloon.

Sorry, but both are to blame, Whedon and his dipstick writing style, and Marvel for not saying no, or come up with another idea! |

What the hell happened to Whedon? He made the Avengers movie, a great movie, people loved it, he had a blast going to all of the comic cons and visiting the fans, and seemed to be part of the MCU team. And then, in 3 years, he seemed to get this really fat head, like he was untouchable, and when his ideas and decisions didn't go over so well with the public, he is now turned into some raging cry baby! Eh, maybe the dude should go back to TV.
