How about NOT hiring any Director that don't care for the source material.

@Nomis929 - Singer may have banned comics on set but the irony is that he made three of the best X-men films in the franchise. Not all great comicbook films or tv shows are accurate representations of the IPs that they are based on. Apparently the boys strays heavily from the source material, it’s not a page for page materialisation of the comic. Case in point.

@TheMetaMan - The Boys is the exception to the rule.

Those FoX-men movies went to far away from the source material for me to even consider then a "good" or proper represtation of the X been comics.

All those movies and we know more and saw more of Mystique than Cyclops. Smh.

@Nomis929 - were not a good representation of the characters but the concept of mutants and social comentary was well done and as movies they were good sci fi/action movies, is a mixed bag

They learned how to take great story arcs that Claremont wrote and edit them down to a 20 minute episode with ridiculous dialogue.

The show also does a great job adapting the characters well from the page in both look and characterization. Something that the previous live action movies didn’t do consistently and the MCU version will absolutely be a failure if it doesn’t do the same.

I agree with all of this. Since I grew up with xmen uh '92, the fox-men movies never resonated with me. Just seeing someone jump from comic to screen doesn't do it. In that case then Ben Affleck daredevil and the uwe boll movies are masterpieces.

That's why easily, easily first class is THE BEST Xmen film. It got so many things right while still respecting the other foxmen movies. The tone felt like something out of the MCU and the costumes were on point.

And just to cap off my comment and probably delegitimize everything I just said --- quantumania was better 🐜 > 🦊

@Vigor -better than what?.

Also as someone who recently saw Quantumania , I thought it was decent.

There needed to be more substance too , just was more spectacle & scale over that I felt.

@Vigor -
That first Singer X-Men movie was the first time that any Marvel characters were brought to the big screen in any semblance of quality. While it left a lot to be desired, from a comic accuracy standpoint, it's a good movie that is well acted and McKellen was a great Magneto as was Patrick Stewart as Xavier.

While they went down too many rabbit holes in later movies that first one escecially holds a soft spot for me.
Vigor
Vigor - 5/3/2024, 1:54 PM
@TheVisionary25 - it's hyperbole somewhat but also my opinion, however I don't see the foxmen movies (other than first class) being any better than the worst of the MCU.

They really just don't do it for me
@goldboink - I understand for sure! My fav characters had terrible arcs (rogue for sure, gambit being short changed, ice man only going full iceman once). But I won't deny seeing magneto, angel, wolverine, and Xavier for the first time was special
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/3/2024, 2:00 PM
@Vigor - that’s fair

First Class might be my favorite too but I still wish it was just an Xavier/Magneto film
Goldboink
Goldboink - 5/3/2024, 2:09 PM
@TheVisionary25 -
It took me 3 sittings to get through Quantummania and I was surprised when it was over. An almost complete POS movie IMHO. Most of the Foxmen movies are better than that, and Eternals and The Marvels etc.

Of course these are opinions so, yea, there's that.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/3/2024, 2:15 PM
@Goldboink - damn man haha , maybe somethings wrong with me (nevermind , I know that).

To me it was a B- type of movie , Kang elevated it for me.

Hard to mock things that people enjoy, for the most part. We are all broken toys anyway.
mountainman
mountainman - 5/3/2024, 2:22 PM
@Vigor - I really enjoyed the first two when they came out. I remember The Last Stand I did the midnight showing with a bunch of friends and we all hated it so much. Then X-Men Origins was terrible too. I then enjoyed First Class and DOFP.

Over the Fox movies were a mixed bag. About 1/2 of them were enjoyable. They were never source accurate enough, but good movies and maybe my inner X-Men fan was just happy with what I got.

But now in this era, we deserve better. we deserve the costumes, characters, and storylines adapted accurately.

I hope we get that.

TheVisionary25

@MyCoolYoung - yeah man , me too

I kinda wanna watch it now and see if I’m just taking crazy pills or something.

@TheVisionary25 - agreed. I was in middle school when this movie was announced and me and my buddies would obsess over wizard magazines fan casting for the X-Men movie. Funny that they cast Patrick Stewart as Xavier too. But that first X-Men movie holds a special place for me as well. That first scene with wolverine and the close up of his claws coming out, still on of my favorite scenes in any comic book film.

MyCoolYoung - 5/3/2024, 3:55 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I’ve genuinely felt like that most of phase 4 and 5
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/3/2024, 4:02 PM
@MyCoolYoung - like I’m trying to think of something genuinely bothered me in Quantumania like how people talk about the VFXbut never really bothered me (MODOK is suppose to look weird)

I guess some didn’t like MODOK’s characterization either but I enjoyed just how kinda sad and unhinged Cross had gotten

I do wish there was more substance to the dynamic between our heroes since that felt light imo and I think there were certain missed oppprtunities in regards to Scott’s arc for example that could have been mined to make it more interesting.

@Vigor - 110 % agree First Class is not only a great comic book film, it's thee best X men live action film. Magneto and Charles are so next level but everything about that film is fantastic and it's a shame Vaugn wasnt allowed to continue it the way he wanted to. Hopefully Gunn gets him for DC. People couldn't get over the line up change but the movie is fantastic without Jean beast and cyclops. And Vaughn was clearly leading into that

@TheVisionary25 - from my memory, my biggest gripe with the movie was Casey. She was so self righteous to the point of naivety l but that was my only real issue with it. It was a decent movie elevated by majors like you said
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/3/2024, 8:39 PM
@MyCoolYoung - I guess she is meant to be that way due to how much she looked up to her dad but I get yah.

@Vigor - lol Only if You Only care about colorful flyng people, the first 3 Singer movies we're more faithful tomthe comics than Antman or First Class

I've liked the show a lot. The biggest difference between this and the OG though is that this show is a lot loftier and much more on the nose with its preachiness... it thinks a lot of itself, and too many characters have cathartic monologues. Other than that, it's great.

mountainman
mountainman - 5/4/2024, 6:48 AM
@WruceBayne - Season 4 of the old show had him decline to rejoin the team and just leave. We don’t really know where he is.

I will say , I don’t love Wolverines voice in this..

I know it’s the original voice actor and it’s decent overall but the dude sounds like an old sea captain sometimes lol.

That last fight scene though with him & Kurt…
