B/c its nothing memorable about it. It wasn't wack but it has no replay value at all IMO. First Class on the other hand comes on all the time on FX and I watch it. They completely ruined the flow of that series with Apocalypse trash. Logan seems more of a stand alone movie so I don't even count that. The Sansa chick cant act to save her life so doing a Dark Phoenix story is ridiculous. When will this new one even be set?


How she going dark already when we just saw only a glimpse of it? Why are they so afraid to go into space with the Shiar and give the pheonix at least 1 movie to show off and have an after credit scene of lilandra watching them with ships ready to roll out

That's the issue with Fox. They have trouble with developing characters. They just thrust them into main character role and expect them to carry the franchise when they are incapable of doing (excluding Jackman). fukk it I'll just say it. No one wants to see these weak ass non acting female characters in the main character role. They bobbled it with J Law who truth be told didnt even want the role the last movie and Sophie Turner just stares panting heavily with no expression on her face. Them even teasing The Dark Phoenix shyt was a mistake. No development at all just a big ass bird behind her the last 5 minutes. Now I guess she just gonna be the Phoenix with no development. Her and the actor playing Scott have no chemistry on screen and they barely had any interaction. They had plenty of time to go the space route the first time but they were scared and now that Marvel beat them to the punch twice (Ragnorok and Guardians) they gonna look like the following them if they decide to go that space route with the Dark Phoenix.

I actually fukked up. I was talking about First Class. I never see it on tv and don't remember any key scenes but know I liked it.

I actually thought DOFP got worse every time I saw it. Always felt the future cave scenes were terrible.

FC is always on FX and FXM. Sometimes even HBO. I dont even see DOFP on that often and when I do I either dose off or turn the channel.

remember liking it a lot (huge Matthew Vaughn fan) but why does it seem like a forgotton movie? i don't remember ever seeing it on cable, and i legit don't remember much from the movie. seems like it came out a decade ago when it was a few years.

It's on the FX channel all of the time, breh.

No key scenes...like when Magneto tried to streangle Emma in her diamond form to get info....when Magneto caught up with the Nazis at the bar....when Magneto killed Shaw with that coin, took over as the top villain of the movie, and redirected those missiles. It was pure greatness.

It's foolish for Fox to do a Dark Phoenix saga and even a Phoenix saga on film. It's way too much to cram in a 90-120 minute movie. Phoenix saga has the Sh'iar, Starjammers, M'Kron crystal, etc. You can't fit all that in a movie. Dark Phoenix saga had the Hellfire club, the X-Men vs the Imperial Guard, Jean's death. All that can't fit in a two hour movie. A saga like that is best in a comic and cartoon and possibly a live action weekly series.

It'll probably be the dark phoenix saga in name only. Which I find disappointing, there are plenty other story arcs they can do rather than hacksaw this one for one movie (if that is their plan).

Yeah we need other stories brought to the screen. They could do Genosha, Mr. Sinister and the mutant massacre, or even do an original story.

Got damnit...

You have to watch all these X-Men movies independently...continuity doesn't mean shyt to these people.

It's so fukking frustrating, because I love their casting and I love the tone of the films...but now I'm getting mad.

They had a perfectly cast franchise damn near...

What's funny is...I think i finally just realized I'm legit mad about this. I was letting my love for the X-Men blind me to the fact that they completely fukked this series up...

There were some flashes of brilliance...Quicksilver, Magneto, Prof X, Wolverine...but all in all, these movies have come up flat.

And no, I don't want fukking Marvel to have this shyt...The Avengers tone works for the Avengers...I don't want to see that shyt in The X-Men. X-Men had deeper themes from what I recall reading and I don't want these nikkas having one liners and shyt. Fox has the tone and the cast, the execution is just so fukking bad i can't hide it anymore.

I legit know I could write a better series than the people who have been doing it for the last 20 years. I know people on this board could write a better series...I know my pothead nephew could write a better series.

I've said it before...At this point...they shouldn't do another fukking movie. Reboot the series on TV, and do a long-form dramatic show ala Game of Thrones.
