i still havetn seen DOFP but damn this makes me not want to see it now
Nah go ahead and watch it. It's not horrible but leaves a lot to be desired IMO. It started feeling like a Mystique/Magneto love story towards the middle and end. It was just a way to reset everything and start a new timeline and the first thing out of the gate is Apocalypse...not Mr. Sinister or even Cable but Apocalypse against some teenagers who don't even have a handle on their powers yet.

Avengers compound
theres so many ways to go with xmen but it needs a reboot. imagine xmen vs the shiar, age of apocalypse, etc

dofp is done, it was ok really, if they did it how it should have been done it coulda been better

no more phoenix tho, that storyline is so tired

give us mr sinister, madeliene pryor/birth of cable

give us asteroid m and ripping out wolverines skeleton

give us cassandra nova even, i just reread that arc, shyt was dope
We didn't even get a proper Phoenix storyline :francis:I'm hoping we get a Shiar movie then that would lead to Jean being exposed to the Phx force properly

I Googled it years ago
Once you seen it you can never unseen it
One glimpse and the harrowing image is forever burned into the back of your eyeballs, like a curse on a bloodline.

Stare deep enough into your soul and you'll see it reflected :dead:

If the Magneto character is out of the future films and they really go with the gay ass original X-Men? I'm off after this movie. They could ADD SINISTER and he could be ALL TIME great if they do him the right way but who knows what the next move is after this and Magneto has always been the most reliable character in any of these Fox/Marvel flicks..so he's out, that's a wrap.

Afraid of losing those checks


We understand
Nah..she's much bigger than that, kiddo. This girl is on a run in Hollywood right now where she gets good checks and an option for roles. She's not going anywhere unless she messes up in the public.

Truth be told I'm tired of all those X-Men movies. That shyt needs to go away for a good 7-10 years. I'm sick of Wolverine and Mags showing up in damn near every fukking movie. They need to focus more on Deadpool's movie universe with new characters and directors. I swear to god I'm so sick of Singer and his bullshyt.
Who is so great from the Marvel flicks that's just BLOWING AWAY the X Movies? LOL.....Winter Soldier? LOL. THe Hydra fake out? Please. Hulk slapping everyone around in animation.....Loki? Thor? Pepper being more responsible than Tony Stark? hahaha.

I just want my mans Cyclops to get the screen time and development he deserves in this series :yeshrug:
For what? He won't be acting like Magneto Jr onscreen..he's gonna be a simp for Jean Grey like he ALWAYS was before the 2000s. The Cyclops character is extremely overrated. He was never that smart or intriguing until they acted like he was the long lost son of Magneto in the books of recent.

Nah, Cyke was always that dude until they messed up his character with the Phoenix retcon and X-factor. (His character didn't really recover until Morrison and Whedon stepped in :mjcry: )
With all of the extreme personalities and angsty characters in the mix, they really need a functional leader who's actually responsible that can keep the likes of Bishop and Gambit from killing each other in a fit of rage.

Cyke stayed making the tough calls, constantly suppressing his own emotions and issues for the good of the team, near-singlehandedly turning the tides in countless no-win situations involving Magneto, the Hellfire Club, and other threats. On top of that, he not only also stayed sonning Wolverine on the regular, but even managed to outwit and ether the entire team by himself.

He was a far better character than most give him credit for during the GOAT era of late 70's and early 80's.

Cyclops was bailed out in those Magneto fights by Charles Xavier and Magneto letting himself fall into Re-entry. Stuff like that. Sinister, Apocalypse, and Magneto slapped around Cyclops so much that it could of been a fukking meme. Stryfe punked his ass REAL bad too in that X Cutioner's Song sonning. Dude left his son and wife for the ghost of Jean Grey:laugh: And then the writers tried to WHITEWASH it...real fukking gay.

The writers tried to whitewash it because they weren't the ones who made those decisions to begin with. The Madelyne Pryor breakup was all a result of editorial mandate. The top brass at Marvel saw how popular X-men was getting so they retconned Jean's death on the moon and demanded that a spinoff with the original 5 be made in order to capitalize on the mutant craze without telling the original dude who was writing the actual series. The original dude writing the books at the time (Chris Claremont) initially had him marry Madelyne in order to give the character a happy ending and permanently write him out of the series-- he was going to get married, move on, and stay that way, only occasionally coming in to help out periodically in case of emergencies.

The higher-ups made sure that Claremont didn't find out what they had done to the character for the sake of having another X-book out until it was too late for him to prevent or change anything. When Claremont found out, he was disgusted to the point of wanting to quit the series.

While better stuff eventually came out of X-factor later on when the Simonsons took over (Archangel, Apocalypse, etc.), the first several issues are generally agreed to be seriously problematic.

They destroyed the pathos of the Dark Phoenix Saga, character assassinated Scott for the sake of $$$, and their initial "Ghostbusters-like"premise (they initially posed as normal humans who hunted mutants in order to capture and study them, while secretly taking them in to train them) makes no sense when they have a veteran Avenger (Beast) and a ridiculously wealthy dude with a public identity (Angel) who could have easily used their resources and Avengers contacts to create a legitimate organization to help mutants. And at no point does anyone else in the story tell Scott to man up and call his wife. Basically everyone was hella out of character in that series for the sake of having another X-men book they could market and make bank off of.

tl;dr: Scott leaving his wife and kid was grossly out of character and basically a result of sloppy writing for the sake of the $$$ that came with having another X-book out. The original writers had nothing to do with it.
