Dude, what are you talking about? Yes, they would split profits for an X-Men Avengers crossover movie, collaboration has been done before with different studios for big films, it isn't unheard of. The Sony deal further shows how Disney is willing to put pride aside as well as competing Studios for maximum profits. Why are you trying to deny this, when it's not only possible but HAPPENED with Sony!?

They would get the entire X-Men to play around with however they like in the MCU films, plus they would be able to start selling merchandise tied to the X-Men movies if they're part of the MCU giving them profit, not only that but the X-Men films would than on just be free advertising for the MCU and the Marvel Universe owned by Disney. While Fox could still make the profits for stand-alone X-Men films, and Disney profits off the rest.

And about the TV show thing, it doesn't really work like that. Fox can use other Marvel characters (not sure how they would handle Spider-Man) and Marvel can use X-Men characters, end of story. They might not have the right to say "You can use a character here, but not here" because that violates the very principal of the contract. Plus, Marvel has the Television rights to the X-Men completely (the only reason they can't use them is because Fox has the exclusive movie rights to the X-Men), so if they're appearing in movies in the MCU they can appear in the TV shows too.

About the Cyclops analogy, Fox can't make too many alterations to the characters and storylines it's against the contract. For example they can't make Wolverine a nazi or something, because if it's as unprofitable as you said it ultimately damages it's profitability for Marvel, who DOES still own the X-Men! Not to mention Marvel Entertainment has creative say over all the films that use their characters, Fox or Disney.

Aye, that's true but they are a popular series. The movies, like most other Non-MCU Marvel movies are largely being ignored since the whole shared Universe gimmick is expected between the two new universes, and if the X-Men films are in a different continuity not as many people feel an obligation to watch them, because it isn't part of Marvel's larger story. But as I said, the character themselves are still very well known, and infinitely more popular than the Inhumans, the fact you act like DISNEY would turn down the opportunity to use the X-Men in the MCU, just because it would be sharing (something they've done with Sony) is laughable.
