Do you still want the X-Men film Franchise to be owned by Marvel studios? It's been argued since X-Men Last Stand and the success of Iron Man, that Fox has ruined the X-Men franchise and Marvel studios would do better.
When you look at the Fox X-Men films what do you get? Out of seven movies there have been five good X-Men movies (X-Men, XM2, First Class, Wolverine, DOFP) and two bad (Last Stand, Origins). So five out of seven really isn't that bad compared to any long movie franchise. For example: Star Wars (Episode 1-2), Batman films from the 90s, Spiderman( 3, AS2), a lot of James Bond films, Marvel Studios films (IM2, IM3*debatable*, Incredible Hulk, Thor:The Sark World *debatable*).
In the end Fox created one of my least favorite comicbook films (Origens) and my favorite comic book movie ever (DOFP). They created the first X-Men film which is probably the most important comicbook movie ever because it regained mainstream recognition for Comicbook films. The anti-campiness of the X-Men films set the tone for future comicbook movies. DOFP set another bar on how it combined an actual comic storyline mixed with other movie sequences.
To me Fox has earned it's right to make X-Men films as they have proved that they are capable of making great films.
