Yes, I know they'll probably water it all down and get rid of lots of stuff, but hey Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver won't be called "Enhanced" instead of mutants
What If? The MCU owned the rights to ALL Marvel Titles for their movies from Day 1?

Well, you'd probably see Spiderman early on. And most definitely the X-men. Maybe get Wolverine in the first Captain America movie.
And we'd get to see if any amount of money can make a watchable Fantastic Four film.

Maybe we could have gotten the Hulk and Hawkeye in Old Man Logan
They might be good but honestly, there's a clear jump in quality when making Superhero films. Even films like Blade or the original X-Men, while good, were still limited by the technology of the time.
There's a reason why I think it was Spider-man by Sam Raimi and starring Tobey McGuire back in 2002 that was really the big dividing point between a previous era of film and since then when these huge Superhero movies really dominated the market. I feel that it wasn't until that film came out that it was like.... technology had really progressed to the point where you could dump tens of millions of dollars into a film and make it look like the epic cinematic spectacle that a Comic Book movie about superheroes should be.
Even prior good superhero films with decent budgets and casts and effects just didn't reach the scale of Spider-man and subsequent films. They were really focused or kind of lowkey in comparison. Like I feel there's no real comparison in the action scenes where Spider-man fought Green Goblin and anything that happened in the first (or even second) X-Men film. Blade had some great martial arts scenes, but they wouldn't look out of place in a martial arts or Matrix style movie.
The overall point of this post being... before a certain period of time, superhero movies didn't have the special effects proven to bring the epic cinematic scale of a comic book story onscreen like they do now. Before then you had Batman movies by Tim Burton which had a lot of style and some camp thrown in, but nothing like the Batman movies you have now special effects and action wise. And even good movies like the Donner Superman films were kinda dated, but more importantly couldn't match the visual effects you get now (Weird Moustache Removed CGI face from Cavill notwithstanding).
So Marvel having control over all of the films might help the MCU overall, but then again... only after a certain period of time would it really... be the spectacle it is now.
Maybe if Marvel Studios rolled out more Blade level films like basing them off of DareDevil and Luke Cage/Iron Fist or even some sort of Hawkeye/Black Widow type of deal. More street level and focused until the tech is proven and reliable and you can find a Director and production team that can really bring the technology and visual effects into making a proper superhero film like the ones we see today.
