Larry Houston, the Director of the 90s X-Men: TAS, said this in the comments...
As the Director of the 90s X-Men:TAS TV series, I want to applaud your efforts, Joel, and I respect the passion you put into your work. Unfortunately, the Marvel I worked with and the Marvel/Disney (M/D) you've just experienced are not the same company and they are very litigious. A really smart PR department would've found a way to work with you so that their interests are protected and the free publicity you'd generate would be a win-win. But M/D really wants the rights to the X-Men back and your high quality of work and publicity is not what they want to happen at this time. M/D has taken very extreme measures to undercut the franchise, rewriting their comic book mythology to replace the word mutant with Inhuman, in a major power play against Fox. You are now, officially, just part of the collateral damage in the ongoing corporate battle of egos.
Marvel comes down hard on fan-made X-Men project.
Marvel/Disney have been kind of lenient on some fan made artwork in the past, but this guy went a bit too far. (there is also some speculation that he was trying to financially benefit from the project)
Also, you have to remember that Marvel is purposefully trying to lower the profile, of all of it's non-Marvel Cinematic Universe properties.
Marvel doesn't want any promotion or marketing of X-Men or Fantastic Four as long as they don't have the film rights.
