Just to clear things up, I am in no way associated with FOX. These are all of my personal opinions based viewing films. I'm going to avoid going into the "Fantastic Four" films because FOX is more of the X-Men company.
As the teaser suggests, I have been on several X-Men film related articles, be it THE WOLVERINE, DOFP, or X-FORCE, and have seen the troll comments. I call them trolls because they post no facts, just continually repeat the words "Bastardize" and "Rape." For the record, I am not going to compare a absolutely horrible crime committed by people less than animals to some a**hole fanboy saying "I didn't like what they did to that character." Is FOX completely innocent? Absolutely not. There are a ton of things I question about them. So now, I present similar problems between MARVEL and DC movies to the ones harped on by FOX haters.
1. Hate for Singer
What has Singer done to anyone here? Did he come to your house and slap your mommy around? Kill the people in your village? Let your pets out of the gate? I mean come on. Sure, his Superman movie wasn't loved worldwide (personally I didn't find it that bad), but his X-Men films started the trend for comicbook movies. Without X1, we wouldn't have had Spiderman. X2 is one of the greatest CMB's of all time. If you google "Bryan Singer plans for xmen 3" you'll get an article from Screen Rant in which Singer explains how X3 would've went had he not left, and in my opinion, it is far superior than what we got from Ratner. Also, Singer was heavily involved in "First Class," which people on here seem to love, and some claim revived the X-Men series.
2. Wolverine is the Star
More prominently in X2, but overall a lot of attention has been paid to Wolverine on film. He has had solo films, team films, and even a cameo. Sound familiar? Iron Man has appeared in 3 solo films, a cameo in "Incredible Hulk," and was made the star of "Avengers," and will no doubt play important parts in A2 and A3. Why? Because they are popular characters. Sure, it gets tiring, but if the money's good, why stop?
3. First Class Wasn't the Original Team
Tell me where Giant Man and Wasp were for Avengers? Or tell me why Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow were on that team? Sure, they're important, but its not the original team from the comics. I'll admit, "First Class" must've had a Roulette Wheel of mutants and whoever it landed on was on the team, but it wasn't a bad movie. It certainly wasn't the best, but it was decent enough to make people forgive the previous movies, if only for a short time.
4. The Bastardization of Characters
I'll admit, what happened to Deadpool was terrible. But aside from the mouth being sewn and optic blasts, there was nothing that far off. In the comics, his healing is derived from Wolverine. While his teleporting was taken from Wraith in the movie, he did teleport in the comics. While the sword-claws were bizarre, he is a sword master so it didn't bother me much. I'm not going to spoil "The Wolverine" but what happened with the Silver Samurai was no different than what Mandarin was in Iron Man 3. A lot of characters aren't used to their full potential in FOX films, but with the announcement of "X-Force," and who knows what'll happen after DOFP, there can be several team/character movies that can happen. Also, Bane went from being a nonspeaking, green, Hispanic, brute, mindless drone being controlled by a woman to a articulate speaking, white, slightly british, mindless brute being controlled by a woman. Why isn't Nolan being hated? Why wasn't Selina Kyle referred too as Catwoman? Even the beloved Joker from "Dark Knight" was not a direct adaptation from the comics. He was more of a deranged lunatic in make up than a psychotic clown, but most people loved him. (I found his performance a little overrated, but that's a story for another time).
5. Bad Casting
"Hugh Jackman's too tall." "Wolverine's a musical star? WTF." As I said in the comments on another article, Hugh Jackman is extremely dedicated to the role. And I'd guarantee that we will NEVER find an exact 5'3" hairy, muscular, gruff actor with dark hair. It ain't happening. If some of you are willing to change the orientation or skin color of major characters, why would height matter? Or background? Chris Evans was a comedy star, and had two failed CBM's before nailing the role of Capt. America. Heath Ledger played a gay cowboy, and no one critiques his Joker. Personally, I find Hemsworth too young to play Thor, but you don't see me on every article saying his movie is going to be s**t. I didn't even know who Henry Cavill was, but he was a pretty good Superman.
6. No Costumes
This one apply's specifically to Wolverine critics. X1 happened right after the critically panned Bat-Nipples. I don't know the reason for the black leather, but Singer obviously had a reason for not going for the classic suits. And that only matters now because MARVEL pulled the Avengers' costumes off wonderfully. No one criticized Nolan's Batman for not wearing gray spandex, or MOS Superman isn't in tights and underwear. In "The Wolverine," he had given up. There was no need to wear any type of uniform, as he wasn't there as a hero, he was there as Logan.
In closing, I know this article won't change a lot. I mainly wrote this to vent, as I am sick of trolls bashing good movies. Yes, X3 and "Origins" are very flawed, but the other X-Movies range from decent to great. "The Wolverine" was an incredible film, yet had haters before it was even released.
