X-Men: Dark Phoenix Official Thread (2018)

[acri1]

Man of Steel and Guardians of the Galaxy already showed audiences are open to space stories if you try. This franchise is in need of a serious reboot and there's no reason it wouldn't work. It took Deadpool for them to actually utilize comic tyoe outfits. Singer and ol boy at Fox need to hand over to a producer and Director who's more open minded about the fantasy element. They barely focus on Mutants facing turmoil for who they are

That's kind of my point though.

How are they going to focus on their issues as mutants living in a world that hates and fears them if they're not even on Earth and instead in space fighting aliens?

You could set Shiar up as a sequel and why even try phoenix again when the reason they did this rebooted universe in the first place is because they fd it up before? Scott and Jean just met and we're already jumping to this point when they can't even get the core TRUE first class right yet?Fox

I don't understand the Singer hate. He gave us X1, X2, and DOFP. The only one that got panned was Apocalypse.

The thing about Singer is this. The approach that he took with the first two movies was absoutely the right way to go in that era. Back then, people were burned after Batman and Robin and weren't ready for the likes of the Avengers, so patterning the look and feel of the X-men movies after more successful flicks like Blade and the Matrix was a smart move.

The problem is that they're still following the same formula nearly 20 years later. They're still pushing characters to the forefront because of star power and whoever's played by somebody. Too many key characters have been underutilized and not allowed to shine enough. They're still running around in black leather jumpsuits and casually killing off whoever they feel like without a thought towards the repercussions. There's no real cohesive game-plan or structure they're ultimately building towards, and the timeline has grown confusing and muddled as a result. They're almost scared to be comicbook movies.

The Fox X-men movies are competently made, but they're playing it too safe. It's very telling that their most successful outing (Deadpool) was the movie that they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to make. The bar has been raised since the era of the original X-men in 2000. It's time for a new take on the series that's a little closer to the source material. And I'm not even saying they have to go back to Disney

I just want to see the team done justice as a whole, and not just some currently popular celebrity and their entourage.

Back then, people weren't ready for the likes of the Avengers, and patterning the look and feel of the X-men movies after more successful flicks like Blade and the Matrix paid off was a smart move.

Greenlantern sucked and had issues from it's inception X-Men can be rebooted. First movie the original damn first class of Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Angel, and Beast being gathered and trained by prof X. Climax of the film is to defeat Magneto. Keeping it simple. Sequels after can follow the original 5 as they meet others such as Storm, Colossus, Gambit, Rogue ect.

making xmen movies about the same 4 characters and none of them being any of the 05 was lame. colossus getting more shine in a side movie is hilarious yet sad.

3? DC can barely do one..lol

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the mutants would be better suited to television. They could start with the O5 and introduce the second team (Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler), Kitty Pryde, Rogue, etc. as they went along.

The original 5 was never interesting..when they broke comic records and left Batman/Spider Man/Avengers/Superman in the dust was when Storm and Rogue were the top two females, Magneto was going strong, Wolverine was still interesting, and the writing was very creative (Legion killing Xavier, Age of Apocalypse, stripping Wolverine of the metal, Stryfe maybe being the abandoned Scott son from the future, etc.
