The X-Men


This movie was a borderline snoozer.. Now I don't mean that it was necessarily bad.. It was just so bland and uninteresting that I dozed off twice.. I think that only my soda kept me awake. All of these G-rated movies are starting to be like that. The MCU needs to introduce the X-Men ASAP; and they need to make sure that they are done right.. It is about the only thing that can save the MCU at this point.

HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! You think the X-Men are going to save this sinking ship, that is fucking hilarious 😂😆! Marvel comics has the worst superhero roster of any entertainment franchise in existence and the X-Men are the absolute worst of them, I don't even consider the X-Men a actual Superhero team...they do not conduct themselves the way I believe a Superhero team should conduct themselves.

I believe that heroes are supposed to inspire you and give you hope and the X-Men do the exact opposite especially that X-Whore Rogue, I hate her with every fiber of my being.... she's a boring, annoying, extremely overpowered, trailer trash cunt... honest to God just thinking about Rogue gives me a feel of hopelessness, despair and in some cases it makes it difficult just to get through the day, thank God for DC comics and the Justice League, they are a true superhero team.

The only way Marvel could ever hope to win me over is to permanently kill off Rogue, I mean for good and make her death canon in all forms of media including comics, movies, and tv shows, I would honestly have the upmost respect for Marvel if they were bold enough to make a move like that, but let's be honest that's most likely never going to happen.

1. Congrats dude, you managed to come off like the dumb 13 year old you probably are.

2. I love DC and most of their (90s and before) characters. Some GREAT characters, especially Superman, Green Lantern, etc. But get real. Marvel has every bit as great and interesting a "roster" of characters. And the X-Men (especially, again, 90s and before at least), when done right were great. I hate to break it to you, but the way your grim-dark, crap-tastic DC films have been, for the most part, is the exact OPPOSITE of what you say "superheroes should be". ESPECIALLY Superman.

3. It really doesn't matter, because both Marvel and DC comics have been largely garbage post 2000, certainly in the 2010s/2020s. And while MCU has had some good films here and there, it was always going to go sharply downhill, as they phased out the GOOD characters, and started phasing in a lot more of the characters from the modern comics. And DC's film track record is NOT good. I liked Batman Begins, and even initially kinda liked The Dark Knight, but honestly in retrospect those films aren't at all what I want out of Batman. There hasn't been a GOOD DC film since Batman 1989, or the older Superman films.

So thanks for the laugh. And learn to talk/think better. Cheers!

So any way, tell us why you love Rogue so much?

Shang Chi, Spider-Man: NWH and Black Panther: WF were the only Marvel films from Phase 4 that I like, haven’t seen Quantumania yet, no rush but hopefully GotG Vol 3 is a lot better since it’s the only Phase 5 film to look forward to. But yeah MCU has gone to the dogs

reply

Hadn't seen BP2 yet. I also liked Black Widow better than most did. It's surprising how the MCU has gone downhill. Maybe the Disney+ shows were a bad idea.

we need more trans heros.

Shang Chi, from what I've heard, was very unsurprisingly bland, literally done so they could check off the "Asian Film" box on their representation list. And they finally did the "Real Mandarin", only to STILL do him totally wrong and ruin him.

Black Panther: Sans Panther, shouldn't have even been made after Chadwick's death. And what they did to Namor and the Atlanteans, making them pseudo-Mayan, JUST as a pathetically contrived attempt at checking off their "Latino film" box, is god awful. That is not what Namor, OR the Atlanteans look like, at all. They have their own unique culture, and they're BLUE underwater people (except for half-human Namor) for christ's sake. Even beyond all that, the plot is, again, very meh.

No Way Home was OK, certainly better than Far From Home. But the only thing that REALLY made me want to even bother watching, or made it much good, was having Tobey and his villains in it. It was literally just OK because of nostalgia for non-connected films.

Dr. Strange 2 wasn't BAD, but it wasn't that good either. Incredibly underwhelming overall, even WITH Raimi directing. Nothing close to his Spider-Man films. Even Spidey 3 was better.

Quantumania was probably the best of that bunch, IMO, as a movie on it's own (and ignoring the Nostalgia Points NWH has), but it also wasn't all that great. It was kinda muddled, it felt like an incomplete story (while also feeling too long, which is impressive), and Rudd didn't co-write it, which was painfully obvious, as it almost completely lacked the tone and humor that made the previous Ant-Man films funny and unique to the MCU. Ant-Man 3 just felt like a boilerplate MCU brick in the road, not an Ant-Man movie.

Guardians 3 might be decent, however, I already hate their design (or lack thereof) for "The High Evolutionary". And I don't have a lot of faith in what they'll do with Adam Warlock, who should have been part of the Thanos saga. All in all, the MCU shouldn't still be going.

reply

I have zero faith that the MCU will do the X-Men or FF properly. Which sucks, because those are two of my fav. comics (pre-2000, before the comics started going to shit) of all time.

Frankly, they NEED to not just keep shitting the MCU out forever. They only do so because it makes them big money. It should have all ended with Endgame, for better or worse. There was no chance that the MCU films weren't just going to be diminishing returns after that. And what do you know, they are. The popular, heavy hitter characters that people cared about, are mostly gone now. And having the focus shift to more and more newer crap comic characters that aren't compelling or interesting whatsever, was always going to yield poor results. I think Marvel is going to find their next "Avengers" films will do underwhelming business, compared to Infinity War and End Game.

reply

No they don't need to do an X-men movie. Especually now. All the MCU needs to do is focus on smaller stories. When the fans enjoy new characters, it can start to bring a few together and possibly do the big bad guy arc.

reply

Agreed. I don't know why the x-men has been so hard for htem, but yeah, single character movies, that is the way to go for now, and not a ton of them.

Let Cape Fatigue settle down.
