Got Right: Confusing and nonsensical timeline/continuity. Just like the comics on that one.

@BobGarlen - too true!

@BobGarlen - X-Men timeline was fine until like the mid-2000s, even with the Siege Perilous thing. Continuity is always a hot mess in comic books.

How is Old Man Logan wrong?
It was inspired by at best. If that's the case marvel studios got Infinity War, Age of Ultron, Civil War, The Winter Soldier, The Iron Man extremis story and tons of other things wrong.

@kider2 - Yeah this article is definitely a hot take lol

Adaptations don't need to be that accurate. Most biopics aren't even accurate and they are based on real people.

@kider2 - That’s the clickbait one thrown in at the end to generate comments.
SummersEssex
SummersEssex - 4/19/2023, 10:54 PM
@kider2 - Because Logan doesn't follow the Old Man Logan storyline, and it would have made a better better movie if it had.

Meh. I felt First Class was pretty good. It was nice to have an X-Men film that gave Logan a break and put more focus on Xavier and Magneto.

@ModHaterSLADE - exactly, look, I hate to say it, I don’t care what anybody says, though, I hate to say it because I’m a fan, but the way I see it the best X-Men group is was and always will be the one on the cartoon. I don’t care about the founding five. I don’t. But I used to, so that’s why I hate to say it. But I can tell you straight up, that cartoon is my favorite X-Men adaptation.
TheWalkingCuban
TheWalkingCuban - 4/19/2023, 2:05 PM
@TheWalkingCuban - so I say that both in defense of first class, and in dismissal of the true first class. I can dismiss both of them and stick to the cartoon ha ha. I like that movie tho

@ModHaterSLADE - It was really the only one that actually tried to be an X-Men movie and not a Wolverine And His Amazing Scene Dressing Cameos movie.

But it also killed Darwin which was dumb on several levels.

@TheWalkingCuban - In both cartoon (through flashback) and X-Men 1 (at least when Charles is presenting Jean and Scott and says that) the original team was the same as the comics.

I'd love them to show that and then move to the all-new X-Men, with Ororo, Banshee, Wolvie, Proudstar, Nightcrawler and so on. Their dynamic was so good. Damn, I miss the Claremont era.
TheWalkingCuban
TheWalkingCuban - 4/19/2023, 2:17 PM
@Fogs - that was a fun era
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 4/19/2023, 2:25 PM
@Reeds2Much - Yeah, it was refreshing not having Jackman be front and center.

Old Man Logan is a bad? You sure are trolling again, hard.

I love the X-Men movies. With the exception of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: Dark Phoenix, I think they all range from good to great, and even those two have redeeming qualities.

They were doing fine with First Class, the young team, not all of the fully established X-Men, and the 60s setting worked well.

What didn’t work was having Hugh Jackman cameo in First Class and it already screwed up the new timeline.
Then they went further with Days of Future Past and connected this new cast to the old cast so the future is set.

Why is there both an "Exclusives" and a "Lists & Features" when they both lead to the exact same articles?
Fogs
Fogs - 4/19/2023, 2:07 PM
@JoshWilding - Just a heads-up, for some reason we see the "Back/Next" buttons between the list items, according to Nate in another thread, in the new layout there's something you should do differently when composing the article to avoid that.

You forgot how bad they did Apocalypse. Psylocke was very disappointing too.

I generally like the X-Men movies. Kind of a slog sometimes but they did then justice for the most part.

That being said, I never want to see them adapt Dark Phoenix again. Botched everytimr and it's the most overrated storyline from the comics anyways.

Here is a thought for you. What with all the race/gender swapping that Disney Marvel love doing.

The Fox movies could be more comic book accurate.

I use to rip on them all the time for the liberties they took with the source material,now Disney Marvel are just as bad if not worse.

More than anything else, they messed up ROGUE
RolandD
RolandD - 4/19/2023, 3:09 PM
@KNIGHT3OOO - She had the right power set and they even gave her the white streak in her hair but her characterization was about a 180 from her characterization in the comics.

FoX-Men movies are a just poor representation of the X-men, hope Marvel does them right. With Cyclops being front and centre of the team.

Quicksilver using his powers.

Apocalypse

Cyclops is suppose to be the Captain America of the X-Men. The way Chris Evans portrayed Cap is the way they should portray Cyclops in the MCU.
SummersEssex
SummersEssex - 4/19/2023, 10:55 PM
@Order66 - I think they will get this right.

Ah yes. Let's bash a long dead franchise randomly when there isn't even any news of the new rebooted version that we won't see for who knows how long.

Also, they may have f@#$ed up sabretooth, but toad was awesome in the first movie. He was played by darth maul himself and took out most of the x men singlehandedly. He only lost because storm remembered she was op (which is a problem the comics have too).
