Are you a real X-Men fan?

Are you a real X-Men fan?

As I'm sure I'll receive much flak for this, it needs to be said. While I read people's posts day by day, I notice this consensus stating that the X-Men franchise is irreparably damaged to the point it is unsalvageable, and I wonder if those people stating this really know anything about the X-Men at all.

Why all the hate against the X-Men movie franchise? I hear all these people griping about how bad they suck and how completely unfixable the franchise is. But instead of hearing any reasons aside from recent events in the Wolverine movie(the DP screw up and a few others) all I see is outrage, which ultimately makes me wonder... how much do some of you know about the X-Men? This franchise is nowhere near dead by any means. I promise half of what some of you call '[frick]-ups' weren't [frick] ups at all, and the ones that are can either be easily fixed or linked in the comics. Don't get me wrong, there are some unique instances of silliness that really can't be excused/undone, like Emma Frost being anywhere near Wolverines origin or Weapon X. However, for every instance like this, there are 20 in which so many rabid fans perceive one of Fox famous 'liberties' but can in fact be tied to the comics in some way. That said, I issue a challenge to all CBM readers. Call me out on this by all means. "How can you tie Blob to the Wolverine movie?", "How can we bring Cyclops back logically?", "How can Xavier die and then be in a new body?" I can answer all those and more, and I am more then ready to. So bring it on folks, I'm ready to show you how Fox stood by the source a bit more closely than anyone thinks.
