So now that the dust has settled, and X-Men Apocalpse has officially bombed and flopped.

What will happen to to the future of Fox's X-Men now that people are getting tired?

Will they reboot the franchise? Will they make a deal with Marvel Studios and have Wolverine show up at Infinity War? Will JLaw Mystique get her own movie?
>>
>>82961409
Get their villains, Deadpool and Wolverine to MCU.
Oh, and babes.
>>
The executives are going to look at what Deadpool did well, and what Apocalypse did poorly, and completely miss the point with their next movie.
>>
>>82961409
They should just give the rights back to Marvel already.
>>
>>82961485
Yup, sounds about right
>>
>>82962172
Never going to happen, Fox is not Sony.
Never should happen either.
>>
>>82962501
Yeah. Marvel's table is full.

Maybe the Fantastic Four would fare better there, but the X-Men never really even worked well in the comics alongside the Avengers for example.

It has great potential, but not in the MCU. Certainly not at FOX, but there it won't ruin the other stuff.
>>
>>82961485
This.

They didn't learn their lessons the last two, three, four flops... why the fuck would anyone think they'd learn their lesson this time?

It will if their movies keep bombing.

I predict Deadpool's novelty will weigh thin quickly. Expect Deadpool 2 to bomb.
>>
>>82961409
First they need to finish their current universe: Deadpool II, Wolverine III and one last X-men movie. After that all doors are open and I have no idea what could happen

Man, Days of Future Past was great, what the fuck happened?

>>82962501
Sony haven't given the rights back on Spider-Man, they've gone into partnership.

FOX has to continue making a sequel every couple of years or a fresh sequence within 10 years of the original (which has now passed, ie, they can only really make sequels from this point on, unless they want to outright reboot within 5 years) to retain the rights to X-Men.

They could also make a tv show, which may or may not have to be within the same continuity. Certainly the first movie they made was definitely not in the same continuity as the first tv attempt they made (which was in 1996). So in theory they could continue the rights for an indefinite period, but that's dependent on people continuing to want it - with tv that's much less certain than with an established movie sequence. The problem is one of investment capital - if they choose to continue sinking money into movies that don't sell well enough to justify the investment, they're losing money compared to where they should be if they'd invested more wisely. This is an important consideration; nobody wants a situation where you're retaining rights just because someone else can make them work consistently, even though you can't. With tv it's a similar prospect; sure the investment is lower even over a whole season, but the number of new shows that fail is non-trivial and you may not make your money back even with established properties.

So I wouldn't say never, and I would advise that FOX has let rights slip recently - Daredevil going back was down to them having no idea of how to reboot it and make money - and will almost certainly do so again. I would guess they'd try and sell them back, though - the way that Sony sold back Ghost Rider after the second movie flopped. Again, it's a question of recouping that investment cost, not just from one movie but whole-life on the rights, including development work that leads nowhere.

This movie happened, I remember how great the ending of DoFP was because in the final scene we bring closure to the whole franchise by showing Wolverine in a happy future with everyone alive and well...then we got the fucking Apocalypse stinger in the mid-credits and shat over that beautiful ending,this movie was destined to fail.
Saw it last night, really disappointing movie

Is china getting a release on the same day as the Alice sequel? if so the X-men are fucked

I hope Wolverine 3 is set in a semi-standalone universe that Wolverine 2 seems to exist in.

They've been working on some, Hellfire being a thing a think. However FOX only has the film rights to X-Men, and any TV projects need to be approved and supervised by Marvel
>>
>>82962653
It's got a worse RT than MoS and ASM2

How can people actually want the X-Men in Marvel movies? Are they mindless about their loyalty to that "cinematic universe"? Do they realize how problematic they are? Having them on their own is the best thing that could happen.

They're already planning Deadpool 2, X-Force, and Dark Phoenix saga movie

>RT score means movies can't make money

I understand that cape films have reached a point where bad word of mouth is the first, and sometimes last, nail in the coffin (of course big expectations to keep a shared universe going mean a movie will almost always underperform big time if they fuck up) but usually with most other movies they can get fucked sideways on RT and still make some dosh
>>
>>82962746
>They could also make a tv show,

They could make a TV show but they need to get Marvel's approval to do it. Fox has far more control on getting a film made, though.
>>

So what? The Transformers movies get some of the worst scores ever on that site and are some of the higuest grossing movies in the world.

This. x1000 this.

DOFP was the perfect ending point for the series and tied things up together nicely. It's basically become a jumping off point for all the fans of the franchise that began with the original X-men back in 2000.

>>
>>82962172
I swear Disney is paying people to say "sell back the rights" at this point.

Quite insidious, get the fandom to believe that the only way to see improved X-men/FF/Spider-man movies is for the rights to come back to them.
>>
Can someone give me some spoilers? I legit don't care enough to watch it.

Sorry but the movie is doing 700m with a way lower budget than BvS and CW. Its not tanking and you are not getting rights back.

Nice console war thread btw.
>>
>>82963153
And Disney is not? 13 movies and the only thing they can show is TWS and "colorful costume adaptations".

The 3 are shit but for different reasons.

>>82963354
Iron Man 1 is the only "great" MCU movie. TWS is only above average.

The first Iron Man is TDK tier.

Also why the fuck would you want that? Quality aside, the X-Men work better in their own universe. Plus trying to shoehorn mutants into the MCU? I don't think that would work out well
>>
Marvel has reached a point where even if one of their movies gets banged up by critics it will still make a ton of money. It's more of a branding thing, and a goldmine at that.
>>
>>82961409

It hasn't bombed and flopped yet.

The Transformers movies are universally shat out by critics, but they still make assloads of money.

Magneto's wife has more lines than Psylocke (psy has two lines). Magneto pulls a Vader NNNNOOOOOOO when she dies. Turns evil (again). Instantly forgiven for killing billions of people at end of movie.

JLaw is bored and shows in her performance. Mystique is the savior of mutant kind and the biggest hero ever.

Wolverine cameo ignores ending of DoFP.

Fox has had eight chances to make a good X-Men movie and continue to fuck it up. Every movie is "don't worry, te next movie will be the REAL X-Men movie. We promise!". Fuck Fox.

Haven't watched it but probably won't.

I remember the commercials being on TNT during NBA playoff basketball, I was only half-watching but I had to stop because JLaw's "You're not students anymore" line was delivered so blandly that I had to stop and marvel at just how uncompelling her acting is.

Soft reboot their continuity into *current year* with re-cast Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Beast, Wolverine, Gambit and Rogue. Have them fight Bastion.

They need to give the lead role to a character that can take criticism, and let Magneto rest the antagonic role at least once.

>the teen cast plays the most important part in the plot and they're all great.
How to spot a paid Foxshill, ladies and gents.
He spreads lies about his boss's movie to make it seem better than it really is.
The Foxshill lies an says the focus of the movie is on JLaw, Magneto, and Prof X. The only Xkid who does anything really important is Jean Grey (and only does so as to set up the Phoenix for the sequel). The rest of the kids are poorly developed and hardly do anything cool (Jubilee was cut from the movie to make way for more JLaw and only has a few seconds of screentime).

Hopefully, if Deadpool 2 bombs, Marvel will get the rights back.

Marvel won't do shit with the X-men, they've been hating on them so hard these past years their judgement will be clouded by vile by the time they get them back.
This is not Spidey who they love and cherish despite how much they have to make him suffer. This is the franchise they've tried to divorce from the main line forever but haven't because they made shitloads of money and are Stan Lee's only genuine brainchildren.

>>82966520
No opinions needed. Other than Dark Knight, Marvel, and Watchmen none of the other hero movies have done well. Those are facts.

USA public education system is rated as one of the worse. Which explains people like yourself who are unable to tell the difference between facts and opinions.

Don't worry next you're going to be like Sheldon's Mom and say that's just my opinion. Which only furthers my point.

as a Marvel kino fan, FUCK THE X-MEN

they literally add nothing, hardly any of them have origin stories

>i woke up like this

Pulverine steals all the spotlight despite being utter shit

People say Tony steals the spot light in the MCU but to be honest it's pretty fair, at least everyone else gets their own films or are major characters in multiple films, can you imagine a fox x-men film where cyclops beats wolverine like cap beat iron man?

Pullverine is Batman tier in that 9/10 x-men related things are about him

sick of those faggots, fox can keep them
>>
>>82966550
Yeah, he was a plot breaker.

Best thing Fox can do is make the next X-Men more like Deadpool by making it X-Force instead.
You get:
>Violence, sex and drugs
>Deadpool in a team movie
>Loli Wolverine
>>
>>82966105
It's true that Jubilee does very little but Scott, Jean and Kurt all have plenty of weight in terms of plot, and they're absolutely adorable.

While it is pretty annoying that Jlaw is basically made into Mother Teresa meets Ghandi in terms of influence to mutantkind, they do at least use it intelligently, the only real shitty part is how she's basically the team leader giving pep talks the entire time and only stays blue for like five minutes worth of screen time.

In terms if fan service, the best part is either Sniktbub going on a mini rampage in full Weapon X outfit, with the batteries and modified helmet, or when Scott turns on his classic Cyclops visor in the danger room ending scene.

>>82961409

How about you wait for people to actually see it?

Frankly, they should let other people direct.

Vaughn did decently with First Class, and honestly, so did Mangold with The Wolverine.

Though since Fox execs are the ones that push for certain recurring flaws in the franchise, they might never completely escape them.

Deadpool got lucky.

Depending on what happens to Deadpool 2, there might be a future for them yet, if they learn not to meddle too much.

I'd say he's workmanlike.

He hasn't made anything truly great since The Usual Suspects. And that I suspect has more to do with Christopher McQuarry's script than his direction.

The movie doesn't even acknowledge the passage of time since First Class. Characters look exactly the same even though it's been years and the relative age that should exist between characters is ignored.

That's really the problem.

They attempted a soft reboot with FC, but then decided to mix timelines in DOFP.

While this worked great, and gave closure to the fans of the originals, it really fucks up the narrative possibilities for the FC timeline going forward.

Magneto in particularly.

He's going to go on on more and more overt and outrageous genocidal attempts, and somehow we're supposed to still believe there's good in him and he can see the light down the line.

No, FOX has the full rights and can make tv shows the same way that they make movies.

The approval/supervision thing is strictly speaking true but it's something they do on all their movies anyway, so it's not a big deal. It's just to make sure they don't do any pornos or cross it over with American Dad or whatever (because that would complicate the future rights situation - the assumption on all these leasing deals is that the property should come back at some point, and that it should be in good condition. It's a little like any rental agreement in that respect).

>>82966247
The email leak that happened before they agreed a deal? Yeah I'm sure that's still accurate.

Especially since the first Sony/Marvel Spider-Man movie isn't due until 2017, meaning the sequel can't happen until gosh 2019 probably later.

I don't doubt that they discussed it, but I wouldn't put any faith in the accuracy of those discussions to the final deal.

The worst part of Jubilee's role is that she was in the car coming back from Return of the Jedi with JG, Nightcrawler and Cyclops. Yet instead of hiding in the building's wreckage from Stryker like the other three, she somehow ends up being amongst those left behind and missing out on the second half of the film. They could've least made up some excuse as to why she stayed behind.

I found Psylocke's cleavage distracting. Also, my lore is failing me here, but isn't she supposed to be British?

Last year's top Memorial Day Weekend gross was Tomorrowland, which finished on $200m worldwide.

Followed by Pitch Perfect 2 (about $280m) and Max Max: Fury Road (about $370m), and Poltergeist (about $90m) with the fifth spot headed up by Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4bn).

Of the top five grossing movies that weekend, Tomorrowland and Poltergeist were the only new releases.

Alice will probably do well, given how well the last one did; it's a classic story with a lot of appeal across different demos. I'm not completely convinced a movie about a mass murderer and the paramilitary team of children who have to stop him because a woman with an incredibly unconvincing Scottish accent woke him up will do that well on Memorial Day Weekend by comparison. It's not a question of tone, it's a question of themes.

>>82966078
It's a Shadow King movie rather than an Apocalypse movie, too. If you were hoping for some ridiculous power levels shit to introduce Cable and all the other crap they're promising... forget it.

It's ironic, they had a scene where the crew leave Star Wars RotJ an they make a jab at X3 by saying the third movie is always the worst one. And X-Men Apocalypse is the worst one of the First Class saga (and third movie in the universe). It's like poetry, it rhymes.

They literally got it right with Deadpool with small shit like X-costumes & that was with a fraction of the budget. They'll fire Singer's pedo ass for him. He'll be the Russo to Singer's Whedon.

>>82975556
I don't wanna pick on the X-Men movies too much cause I still like X2, FC, and DoFP, but the costume design has always been atrocious. This is so much better.

No, they'll blame Apocalypse's failure on not enough Magneto and JLaw. Next X-Men will have more Magneto and JLaw while Rightclops is pushed to the side (again). And they will bring back the """"""classic""""" black leather outfits because it worked for the old movie right?
At most, they will take from Deadpool that auidiences want more gore.
>>
>>82975704
DoFP made me angry with how much Magneto got away with and how petty and stupid he was.

Xavier's got no excuse for not turning his brain into a baked potato the first chance he gets.
>>
Nightcrawler was pretty good, I hope the kid can keep the role for future movies, it surprised me sincea he looked the worst from pics before the movies.
They use him a lot, in the same way Magik gets used a lot for her teleportation discs in the comics.

Its a low budget movie with salaries not even close to whatever RDJ asked for CW. It probably does huge profits just at 600m.

hey man, video's been FOX'd.

It's kinda funny that Psylocke has her classic 90's look, and Apocalypse for the most part looks close to his comic counterpart, but the xmen themselves are still with the fucking black leather
>>
>>82977361
Well, Apocalypse seems like the first movie of a new trilogy rather than the last of the current one. At least they sort of tie up Magneto and Xavier trilogy arc.

>>82977443
He wasn't paying attention. And he is not perfect. He also got fucked hard by Apocalypse.

I wonder how the next villain will survive a Quicksilver attack. Apocalypse survived it and could counter attack because his powerlevel was insane, it literally took a cosmic entity and an Apocalypse powered Magneto to kill him. But anything less than an Apocalypse level mutant will get fucked good by Quicksilver if he goes savage as he went for the big blue guy.

I think they will go against Protheus or Phoenix because anything else, even Sinister would be raped by QS.
>>
>>82977639
Did we watch the same movie? They have some blue and gray armors from weapon X and none of it was leather.

At the end of the movie they get the classic suits and again, none of them is black.
>>
>>82977354
this. At this point the MCU has marched to far ahead to suddenly turn around and go; oh btw, mutants are a thing now, even though they were never mentioned and we already introduced the Inhumans, aka MutantsLite. I'm sure having shared custody of Spiderman alone is a headache enough, at this point they would probably tell FOX to go away if they approached them with mutants. I'm fine with the mutants having their own universe, feels alright tbqh
>>
>>82966371
this meme needs to die
>>
>>82977799
I actually agree with him. X Men has enough to work on its own.
>>
>>82977720
At most they might use Huge Jackedman as in he jumped universes through a portal just for this movie and at the end he goes back to his world.

Anything else than this is not happening. Ever.

They could still make X-men videogames and have their own videogame universe with all the franchises they dont have the movie rights.
>>
>>82977799
X-men are a cancer that ruin the marvel universe. You cant justify anymore people hating them but loving every other meta human.

And if they finally go past that then most of the X-characters will become useless and aimless like Scott, Xavier and Magneto if their universe didnt hate mutants.
>>
>>82977879
Hugh Jackman is not coming back after Wolverine 3.
>>
>>82977799
It's not a meme. Needing/Wanting dumb Cap/Wolverine banter is.

To think X-Men could have easily been wasted on these Disney cartoons and yet it wasn't...maybe there is a god.
>>
>>82977799
It's true tho. Like other anons have pointed out, its weird as fuck for the general public to love the shit out of heroes like the Fantastic Four, Spiderman and Daredevil whilst hating on the X-Men when they're really not that much weirder than the aforementioned heroes.
I mean c'mon Scott Summers, a totally normal dude who shoots punchbeams from his eyes is despised whilst the freak who can crawl silently into your bedroom and suffocate you with webbing in your sleep is celebrated by the general public? That shit makes zero sense

Also, it would give their adventures a bit more weight knowing that if they fuck up there's no SHIELD or Avengers team to save them and the world. It really raises the stakes when you think about it
>>
>>82961409
Watch it for yourself, anon. I did and I think it's pretty great.
>>
>>82977443
That's the great flaw in his character. as cool as his scenes are, they make it so the writers have to come up with more and more bullshit reasons why he can't defeat the threat by himself. For the sake of the narrative, he shouldn't exist!
>>
>>82978099
For the right amount of money and for the cameo on Avengers he always wanted he will. If Fox's let him of course. But thats the most you will get. A single character from the FOX universe jumping into the MCU universe for a single movie.

QS probably would fit better the MCU universe for a single dimensional traveling movie cameo.
>>
>>82978325
Except he goes full supersonic berserker on Apocalypse but he starts watching in super speed and rekts him hard.

The next villain will be an issue because he will either have to be a powerhouse like Apocalypse or just write QS off the fight.
>>
>>82963237
I think it does if people are already on the edge of wanting to see it. This movie is the third large-scale superhero movie in a very short period. A good score might have convinced people to see it, whereas normally they'd be tired of these kinds of movies for a while. But since it didn't get DoFP-tier reviews, it won't get that boost.

Transformers are usually considered terrible by audiences, but there isn't much competition in giant robot movies, so if someone wanted to see that kind of movie, they'd be more willing to see one that isn't really considered very good.
>>
>>82978199
If it was great then it wouldn't have a lower RT score than Man of Steel and The Amazing Spider-Man now would it, Paid Fox Employee?

Besides, why watch this trash when you could watch real Capekino like Captain America Civil War hmmm?
>>
>>82965530
Well in terms of patterns the next X-Men movie should be a 90s period piece.

Okay, you should never have a seen in a movie where your big, intimidating villain makes a face like this.

No, I don't, because I'm not a ridiculous caricature.

Having comedy in your movie is fine, but when your villain is supposed to be intimidating, you don't make him buffoonish.

You don't make him a comical figure or put him into farcical situations.

Again, look at Ronan.

Ronan was never anything less than serious in a movie otherwise trimmed with comedy.
>>
>>82979898
>Jobber

That isn't jobbing, Quicksilver literally only gets some punches in because of his powers allows to take Apocalypse by surprise, and it lasts only for few punches until Apocalypse is able stop Peter in his tracks, after which he breaks Quicksilver's leg. Then Apocalypse proceeds to take on, and effortlessly blocking an simultanous attack from Magneto, Cyclops, Xavier (fighting him on the psychich level) and Beast, without as much as a drop of sweat and curbstomping everyone until Jean goes full Pheonix on him and even then it still requires additional help from other people to properly defeat him.
>>
>>82983343
I saw the leg break, I just wouldn't expect Quicksilver to be able to knock Apocalypse around that easily at first, until Apocalypse got control of the situation.
>>
>>82983429
Quicksilver is ridiculously OP in these movies, given how his powers work, ie. time is super slow to him. After the first punch Apocalypse is in the air the whole time and it takes a moment for Apocalypse to catch up to QS' speed and once that is accomplished, Quicksilver is immediately down. It's nothing more than Quicksilver throwing some lucky punches that virtually do nothing in terms of damage beyond throwing Apocalypse off balance.

>Colossus in Deadpool is exactly what MCU X-Men would be, that was the joke
What? No, the joke is that Colossus is a caricature of old school heroics, where everything is is vague and empty moralizing buzzwords. His personality doesn't map on to any of the modern incarnations of any comicbook movie, even Captain America. For all his pretty speeches and moral bluster, the MCU Captain is a lot more down to Earth and less platitude spouting than any Golden Age hero.

Colossus is just a classic hero to contrast to Deadpool's severe anti-heroism. That's it, that's the joke.

If Marvel properly made Civil War it would have been terrible. The Civil War we got was amazing unlike the ham-fisted comic book event.

For the record Last Stand, Origins and Deadpool were all made by Fox, so no matter how damning a comparison you try to make with Marvel by using them you're only making Fox look that much worse.

>>82987702

>>82987501
Fair enough.

The X-men movies have always been lukewarm to me, though the MCU have not really been much better. Probably the only one that has really stuck with me is GotG. And Iron Man, but I'm not sure that counts given its position as the Granddaddy of the MCU.

It's just interesting to compare MCU movies to others. A troubled Fox production gives us Fant4stic, and a troubled Marvel production gives us Antman. Regardless of one's opinion on Antman, its unarguably a better movie than Fant4stic. I'd even consider it a good movie. Not a great one, but a solid piece of entertainment, which is honestly an achievement given the shit it went through.

Would Wright's vision, had it been allowed to fruition been a great movie, or even just a better one? Even if he'd gone through with his plans of making Hank a villain and destroying a huge chunk of the US? I don't know. Maybe. But circumstances interfered, and not entirely on Marvel or Wright's end, and we still got a good movie.

BvS may not have been bad, I haven't seen it and won't comment on its overall quality, but it simply never interested me as much as CW after MoS. I liked CW. I also thought it was good. It, and GotG before it, actually shows you can introduce a bunch of heroes without throwing the entire movie out of whack. BvS was pretty dumb with its youtube videos of the rest of the league, and ASM2 completely beefed it.

I don't particular care about the MCU as some sort of brand to defend. And I don't think they should take over X-men or even that X-men is doing so bad that it's a feasible idea to entertain. Deadpool was great, I loved it. A true win for Fox, no matter what else is going on. All I know, is that the MCU keeps making okay to good movies I enjoy (except Thor), while everyone else aside from the X-men movies is still fucking up trying to blatantly imitate or distance themselves from it. Either way, the MCU is dominating and everyone else is just fucking letting them.
>>
The costumes and character designs in this movie are just plain terrible. Apocalypse is even worse on the big screen then in stills.
>>
It was good though, Quicksilver is GOAT
>>
>>82987990
If he had Mr. Mannhattan eyes for most of the scenes, it would be better.

I did like the ending costumes but sadly I doubt they'll be using those in the future, and would just have them fight in civilian clothes.
>>
Blame it on Fass, McAvoy and Lawrence(rightfully), and keep going with the young team, next, set in the 90s.
And work around Deadpool for current time.
>>
>>82988062
I like how his character is being "the fastest, laziest guy" while still having some more personality than Cyclops.
>>
>>82988062
I'm just glad MCU Quicksilver wasn't alive to see this abortion of a movie.
>>
>>82988075
I was honestly expecting the credits scene to be Deadpool stealing Beast's jet, but then I remembered that he belonged in the Iphone era.
>>
>>82988092
Apocalypse>AoU.

I liked both Quicksilvers but I hated how Joss killed MCU's so early. Both were best buddies in Kickass too.
>>
>>82988120
I've seen both and as much as I hated AoU I'll take it over Apocalypse any day.
>>
>>82988120
I've seen this thrown around a lot. I don't think Joss wanted to kill him, the executives wanted someone dead and he killed the least interesting character. The MCU already has a bunch of loveable dickheads in Stark and to a lesser extent in Hawkeye, so he picked the lesser of two evils.

Quicksilver doesn't have a lot to offer and at least gave pathos to Wanda. It's very hard to not power creep with speedsters, and Quicksilver doesn't bring a lot of new things.
>>
>>82988211
No it was Joss Whedon who wanted him dead. He even filmed an alernate ending where Quicksilver lived just in case Marvel wouldn't let him kill him off.

>>
>>82988254
you mean this cringeworthy scene? >>82978966

Quicksilver would've given more development to Scarlet Witch or their past rather than letting her just be ship bait to Vision.

What forced quips were there in Civil War, give me exact instances.
>>
>>82988230
Something something burgers burgers thinking they're the only ones that matter clap clap clap

Or does RT only take from American reviews and audiences? I actually hadn't thought of that. I don't recall what happened with other major comic movies released worldwide before the US.
>>
>>82988285
It wasn't cringeworthy when you watch the movie. Most of his scenes had him doing OP shit while that shot simply showed that he was lucky in punches but they hardly did any damage to Apocalypse, and served more of a distraction.
>>
>>82988228
Well then disregard that part.

I maintain that it wasn't a negative of the movie, in the script at least.

I have this problem with AoU where I think that the general script isn't terrible, and is actually pretty good, but they should've hired a better director to skip the quips during filming and to better balance the scenes.

Widow + Banner actually kind of makes sense for both characters to at least entertain (which they do in the movie, they are just flirting around and decide not to do anything about it), but it was directed terribly and cut terribly.

The farm and the dream sequences are also nice touches and would have added a lot of characterization. They should've cut the Seoul sequence or just have Hulk go on rampage there if they wanted the Asian market. It adds nothing to the movie, structurally.

>>82988291
Nah, Wanda is great on her own in CW. Even without Vision she goes through a nice little arc. Quicksilver would just be a quippy cockblocker in any regard.
>>
>>82988285
No faggot , sweet dreams scene

>>82988338
AoU could be so easily fixed by re-edditing the fucking movie I don't know why they haven't bothered as an extended cut or something.

Did he quip a lot in AoU though? The only memorably funny scene I remember was him with the AK telling everyone to get out.

That's very nice, but you should consider the following.

X-Men in the MCU = 90s again.
No GotG, no Ant-Man, no Captain Marvel, no Black Panther. Everyone is either a mutant or Avenger.

I agree that F4 should be in MCU, and it will, it's a matter of time. It will certainly happen.

As long as X-Men are away from MCU, capefilms will thrive. If they merge, the bubble will burst. You can cap this.

Even captcha agrees: 333. half satan
>>
>>82988371
No but he's generally written in that cocky archetype that Tony Stark is. And his point of view adds very little. Even Hawkeye becomes more interesting by being a human amidst gods and whatnot.

I prefer him as pathos-fodder to Wanda than just another guy running around.

Just because they Can have him, it doesn't mean they should.
>>
>>82968570
Cassandra Nova

But MCU got the only woman who can play her already, based Tilda
>>
>>82988380
It was in character for awkward Spider-Man. Also it wasn't a quip.
>>
>>82988380
Oh, you mean that line which was in the fucking commercials so somebody who didn't even go to see the Movie could cite it as an example.

You mean that line delivered by a character who's canon comic persona is someone who makes quips all the time while fighting people?

I don't think you understand what "forced" means.

Yes, we can probably expect him to return during Infinity War.

I think maybe you missed the part where I don't think the MCU should take over the X-men movies.

I don't really think it would change much, honestly, and I don't think any one but the money counters would care to (and they're probably thinking it'll cost more than its worth to attempt it anyway). My point was more about why I like what I'm getting from the MCU to answer the guy who virulently hates it.

Besides, of all the other franchises out there, the X-men are the only ones managing to successfully do their own thing in a sea of people both trying to blatantly imitate the MCU success and universe and also trying to blatantly distance themselves from it. Spider-Man was doing okay for awhile, but then they reached too far with ASM2 and got super spooked with the leaks. Now the MCU has gobbled it up and probably turning a hungry eye to Fantastic 4.

The Snyder-verse is monetarily successful, yes, and has its defenders who have their points, but I doubt its doing anywhere near what its creators or investors wanted it to be. I bet there's a lot of heated discussions over it in the boardrooms because of both it not meeting expectations AND not actually shit enough to justify tossing aside.

For some reason, the MCU has managed to make a production line of its movies that also tends to turn out some amount of enjoyable quality. That's probably not great for the nebulous idea of "capeshit movie potential," but as movies I go to the theater to see? I like it.

I'd also like it if other franchises could stop falling on their faces and give Marvel something to worry about for once. BvS moved its date to not compete with Civil War, specifically to a dead zone of releases. To make this clear, a Batman and Superman movie was put up against an adaptation of Marvel's CIVIL FUCKING WAR, one of the dumbest events ever that made Marvel insufferable for years

AND THE BATMAN AND SUPERMAN MOVIE BLINKED!
>>
>>82988766
No death in CW was the way to go.

Any of the players death would either have to overshadow the climatic twist, being a more recent death, or they'd just ignore it and make it like Quicksilver's.

The climax of the movie is how both parties react to their dispute going forward, killing one would martyrize him, and rob us of his development going forward.
>>
>>82988794
>tfw Fantastic 4 is still a long shot to come back
>>
The intro was probably one of my favorite cape scenes.
>>
>>82988766
>>82988851
There have been, perhaps, oddly, too many death's in the MCU already, mostly on the villain side. Which is frankly typical for cape movies up until now.

CW may not necessarily been the place to have it not happen, though. Still, it serves a bit as a point about how your close friends dying is not the only terrible thing that can happen in a conflict.
>>
>>82988794
Lol, you have to be delusional to think that it wouldn't change anything. X-books are still best-sellers, despite no promotion, no anything.

X-Men in MCU = dead anything else.
You shouldn't want X-Men back, if you like Ant-Man, Gotg, Black Panther. Seriously.
>>
I cant believe there are people who want X-Men Disney Channel action comedies. It would go against everything Claremont ever did.
>>
>>82989153
Right, but if, say, Rhodey died, then the whole last act of the movie would be out of place (since Rhodey should be more important to tony for recency's sake) and there'd be no gut punch that would top it.

Only Disney. Everything else is an abomination.
Otherwise, I agree with you. Apocalypse had numerous FLAWS, but it was a fun movie.
I can accuse this movie of many things, that it was dumb sometimes, but at least, for the first time, it was fun.

For the first time in capeshit history, we got a fun X-Men movie. And it's going to be the most vilified movie. The very same people who shit on the movie, but didn't watch it, will say that they want MCU X-Men. It's fucking disgusting

>>82966638
Wolverine's rampage was so disappointing for me. Seemed like they didn't have the budget for that part of the film. Wolverine runs around a building as they cut the scene as many times as possible in order to not show wolverine getting shot, and not show him actually killing anyone.

Maybe because I've seen Punisher and Deadpool now but I expected to actually see wolverine be violent
>>
>>82991885
I feel like genociding you.
You should die
>>
>>82991831
I'd go one step further and chalk it up to Fox's inherent unwillingness to go the extra mile with cosmic shit. Apocalypse in this movie felt more like the Shadow King with a little En Sabah Nur thrown into the mix. They already had the Egyptian base to work with, and I guess the idea of Apocalypse burning away his various bodies due to his powers simply being too great to contain in a fragile human shell is cool too, but unless you have Celestials thrown in the mix, Apocalypse being a god-like Egyptian mutant just doesn't cut it. Granted, Fox don't have the rights to the Celestials, but they should have found some way to tie him to cosmic-level beings.
With X-Men 3, they made the mistake of keep the Dark Phoenix grounded on Earth. ''Killing'' off a major character pails in comparison to fucking destroying an entire inhabited solar system, and X3 also would've been the perfect opportunity to bring shit like the Skrulls, Badoon and the Shi'ar in as well, and maybe even an X-Men/Starjammerss team up too.
For the huge role that space has in X-Men stories, Kinberg and company seem absolutely clueless when it comes to incorporating that into the movies.

I don't understand Bryan Singer.

At this point in time, he has no excuse to not dress the characters up in something that isn't boring black leather or paintball costumes. Marvel's Avengers and even Spider-Man pretty much proved you can use comic book faithful superhero costumes and audiences wouldn't have a problem with suspension of disbelief. Furthermore, this movie was set in the 80s and was primed for flashy, colorful comic booky costumes in a context that made sense.

Instead this motherfucker turns Apocalypse into Ivan Ooze and puts everybody but Psylocke into stupid paintball armor. What the fuck is his problem with those outfits? It might be excusable if his alternatives were inspired or lifted elements from the comics a la Vaughn's First Class costumes, but they're boring ugly monochromatic dumb shit.

And I thought gays were supposed to be good at fashion.

Fuck JLaw.
>>
As someone who has seen this movie and BVS but not Civil war let me list my pros and cons:

pros:
Starting scene
Ending scene
Both Quicksilver scenesThe second scene was good imo cause it gave the impression Quicksilver would be sidelined at first,then it gave the impression he would solo taco lips before he gets owned
Apocalypse buffing up his horseman is a power I'm glad they kept
Wolverine cameo was short and sweet
Everything fassbender does
Tacolips plan while simple(wanna take over da world) was actually quite well planned considering how little time he had to prepare(disarm the world,transfer body into Telepath to control the world,locate 4 trained/powerful/misguided mutants and buff them to make them protect you,(try to) destroy the building of probably the only people who can defeat you

cons:
Apocalypse himself was pretty terrible,I mean his voice was annoying,his design was horrendous and a baddie who's power is literally 'pull whatever power I want out of my ass" is dumb to watch because then you need some asspull to beat him
JLaw was totally phoning it in,it's not a meme she was so souless
Sophie turner was not up to par to play Jean,both acting wise and physically(too fat and ugly),seriously even Munn played Psylocke better.Sure she had no dialogue but my point still stands
Moira mctaggert and Havok are retards,moira frees apocalypse single handily and Havok almost kills an entire school
Quicksilver's sister completely absent
Jubilee does nothing
Mystique disguised as Stryker ends up turning Wolverine to Weapon X anyway?!?
>>
>>82961409

>As retarded as it sounds, people now apparently need to base their opinions entirely on what RT says.

Well, RT isn't just one person, it's a general consensus of people, many of whom do nothing but watch movies.

Not that your opinion should be swayed by RT (you like what you like), but an RT percentage holds more weight than one person's opinion
>>
>>82994295
>Mystique disguised as Stryker ends up turning Wolverine to Weapon X anyway?!?
Maybe Wolverine asked her off camera to send him to Weapon X program so he can get the adamantium. We will hopefuly see the answer in Wolverine
>>
>>82994295
Ten years is more than enough time for Stryker to track down Wolverine and turn him into Weapon X. Considering how much he knew about Xavier it's not much of a plot hole, just slightly weird decision in retrospect, but perhaps someone wanted it to be like in the comics, i.e. he gets jumped after walking out of a bar.

FOX does this thing where the main characters are an esamble film who get the most screen time are not the most important characters to the plot or the most interesting in the film, but are the highest-paid actors in the movie.

This sometimes works (such when the writing is 100% on-point) and sometimes it doesn't.
Ultimately Fox makes and writes superhero movies like they're making a regular movie rather then like they're trying to make a superhero story, which can occasionally work right but just as often go wrong.

>And why it's a bad thing?
Because villain is devoid of personality. Personality of villains used to be strong point of X-Men movies. Apocalypse lacks that..

it was that dumb 'magnetos family' scene i didn't like. they had disposable written all over them. i would have honestly been really surprised if they had made it out of the film alive.

I'd like the FF rights to revert back to Marvel but I'm fine with X-Men being elsewhere. It always felt like it's own universe anyway in the books.

It wasnt so terrible
My only problem with it was the shitastic action. QS was the only semi decent part. The rest was so poorly done. Like, they framed it all wrong. And many parts were "scene with one throwing projectile" > "scene with the rest dodging it". Boring.
Its definitely the weakest of the current trilogy, and I find it hilarious that Sansa is self aware of it.

>>
>>83006639
The Wolverine did not do $600m. It barely scraped past $400m, like almost all X-movies.

In fact when you correct for ticket price inflation, it had a lower audience than any previous movie in the series, and when you correct for general inflation it's not even close to the best performer financially. Nor is there a general pattern of increase to point to in any of the X-movie sequences (1-3, the Wolverine movies) that would indicate a growing audience and good word of mouth.

http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/X-Men#tab=summary

"Fine for this franchise" would be about $400m; that was only good for The Wolverine because it was made on a shoestring budget. If this one "only" makes $400m, it's a flop - the production budget alone is known to be $234m, which is still cheaper than X3 (equivalent to around $250m) which was, guess what, a weak success on the equivalent of $540m. This film cannot afford to make franchise average - it has to do significantly better, and not just than the average X-Men movie.

On $234m with another say $75m marketing, it has to make back at a minimum $418m just to break even, and that's before we consider how much they're paying Jackman, Lawrence, McAvoy, Singer or whoever in gross points. If they want to make a worthwhile profit at this level of spending that would justify sequels at the same level, they need to make $800m; it's too late for Singer to hand back half his budget and say Deadpool turned out fine guys I don't need all this money either. Poor dumb bastard probably shit himself when he heard about Deadpool's opener. That's got to be hanging over every conversation he has about funding now.

Because at one point in the script process she wasn't the main focus. There was going to be a whole future scene with Master Mold experimenting on Rogue, which is why the sentinels can copy powers.

They literally got Deadpool right because they didn't care enough about it to meddle. They gave it a tiny budget because the director and the star sucked off the right people to get the movie made and basically said: "Fine, go make your little movie, we don't care."

>>
>>82978191

Do you read comic books? We've been over this.

The x-men are feared and hated because they do NOT do as much super hero stuff as the Avengers or FF. A lot of the stuff they do is in space, or in the savage lands, or in the sewers, where the general public doesn't hear about it.

When they DO get in the public eye, they're often fighting people like the government. Maybe evil black ops government sentinels, but still the government, so they're the bad guys. They occationally save humans by fighting the Brotherhood, but the public just sees this as rival gangs fighting than good vs evil. It doesn't help that their membership often includes "evil" mutants like Magneto when he goes good once in a while, then evil again, then good.
>>
Why is this movie getting so hated? At least here?

Pros:
>not so much Wolverine wankfest for once, he is only there for the time he was necessary
>the characters chosen to form this new team of X-Men were all pretty good, and the OGs that were neglected before get a chance to shine. Like Beast, or Scott who becomes an actual character outside of getting cucked by Wolverine
>there is still a conflict between Charles and Magneto, but the movie also builds up the villains relatively well; and the focus on the teenage team was great
>good intro
>good scenes in the mansion
>great costumes which actually respect their Comic counterparts
>Apocalypse may not be the best villain ever, but he has understandable motives and crafts a pretty decent plan to get things done

I'll also list some of its weaknesses for some balance:
>Quicksilver's reveal lacks impact, you could think he was bullshiting and you wouldn't be proven wrong until Storm brings up the topic again by the ending
>Havok's appearances and death are treated like an afterthought
>the rival mutants became irrelevant after their introduction
>Mystique was very unlikeable
>the big fight was rather lame and most likely will end up as forgettable

Having said that, I still believe the pros vastly outweight the cons.
XM Apocalypse easily became my second favorite capeshit movie from this year, and holds pretty well among the other X-Men movies.
>>
>>83024260
Rotten Tomato says otherwise
>>
>>83025533
Literally this.

Just got back from the film. It's not actually terrible but it's hardly worth praising either. It's fun especially if you're a fan of various X-Men media ("X-Men: Evolution" definitely came into mind). The RT meter being at approx. 50% doesn't sound off either, in that I'd say it's pretty divisive.
>>
>>83027790
I've just watched it. It was great. Ask me anything
>>
>>83026232
This movie actually makes an interesting observation. You see, in this movie mutants are actually accepted. However, it takes one mutant like Apocalypse to make humans fear mutants, which is fair
>>
>>83027186
>the big fight was rather lame and most likely will end up as forgettable
the reason for that might be because the X-Men get pawned easily by Horsemen. Also, there's not much fight, as much as there is "save the chuck"

Still, the death of Apoc is actually believable, as it took a joint effort of Magneto, Chuck, Phoenix, Storm and Cyclops to defeat him

One thing that no one notices is that Apocalypse actually welcomed his defeat. His smile, when he is incinerated was creepy.
>>
cont. also, the biggest problem of Apocalypse is that when you describe the movie, it feels kinda sucky, but when you actually see it, it looks badass.

I think that it was as good as DOFP. If you liked DOFP, you'll like this one as well.
>>
>>83027790
It says that %49 of the critics that are counted in the Tomatometer didn't like it. Nothing more, nothing less. And being critics, the fact that it seems so repetitive of the last X-Men movies they had to write about for their job is probably a point against it.
>>
>>83028321
I looked at the reviews, and they aren't as negative as I thought would that be, while some positive also criticize a lot about the movie. How do they chose, whether the review counts as rotten or fresh?

It's definitely one of those "turn your brain off" movies, though, that much is undeniable. The dialogue in particular was extremely cliché.
>>
>>83028816
Cyclops rescues X-Men from the Stryker's clutches

Actually, it's Cyke + Jean + Nightcrawler.

The only time he cries is when his bro is dead

Apoc tries to embed him in the wall, but with the help of Beast, he gets free

I would say that most of the characters got their time to shine.

Actually the U.S. education system isn't a federal institution and there are many regions that support effective curriculum with a direct path to higher education and careers. Some of my brightest colleagues hail from the states.

It's unfortunate that almost all of those studies decide to ignore population density and urban centers' impact on the overall scoring of the 'American Education System'. It's sad that you're only able to parrot things you've heard without empirical evidence to incite a response from people you'll never meet.

You are a coward and a gullible fool.

Bomb and flop are the same thing. A bomb/flop is any movie that does not make back any returns from the box office.

Good Dinosaur was not either as it made all it's money back in the box office, extra costs not included in the initial budget. Delgo is a historic bomb.

There is a difference between movies that people doubt over time, like Spider-Man 3, and movies that people like or hate on the spot and don't budge, like Iron Man 3. X-Men Apocalypse is on the latter.
>>
>>83029383
ASM is just typical Marvel schlock under a different brand name and so has X-Men since First Class. It's always the same formula, and I fail to see how it's any different outside of people more willingly to point out the genres faults when it's not Marvel.

Also I don't see the point in casting characters if you don't use them. They had to nerf Psylocke so she didn't kill Beast, Angel didnt even get to use his blades after a 10 minute transformation scene showing them off, Storm had 5 lines and 3 minutes of screentime, Magneto spent the climax of the movie in a magnetic bubble doing sweet fuck all

But the real hilarious part was making Mystique the most important character in the movie and she did NOTHING in the fight except try and sweet-talk Magneto before getting choked out by Ivan Ooze

The movie was hilariously bad on so many levels, let alone character motivations making zero sense
>>
>>83029627
How else would you defeat apocalypse?
By hugging him?
>>
>>83029627
Mystique being "important" is shown mostly through dialogue, as she served as the inspiration. Most of the movie she was rather useless, which is fine by me, because I'd rather have Young X-Men shining, than her.

Storm was introduced rather good. The scene where Apocalypse watches tv and is "disappoint, son.jpg" and then rapes Storm into superiority, was really cool.

Psylocke mostly had a dialogue during the Caliban scene. And recruitment of Angel.

Angel used the blades in the scene when he attacks X-Men in the blackbird with Psylocke, and later when he tried to get out out of the ruins. He also attacked Nightcrawler with the blades.

I agree that Magneto swapping sides wasn't as convincing as it should be.

I would argue that Apocalypse was one of the best comic book villains on screen. Definitely my personal favorite.
>>
Also, I think that a lot of people hate Apocalypse to be "cool". I do wonder if the movie will have a good word of mouth.
>>
>>83029627
>X-Men have super powers
>They use them

Also:

>Yadda yadda character motivation

Nigga if you're expecting character motivations to be understandable or in depth this is the wrong genre of film for you. Not even the best super hero movies have good character motivations. I can back behind criticisms on the poor use of the roster but pointing out obvious problems with super hero movies as if it's a legit criticism is pants on head retarded.
>>
>>83029649
Teeamwork? I mean, they are the X-Men right?

BvS might have been bad but at least the trio worked together to strategise and defeat CGDay

>>
>>83029734
Check Twitter, people love it. Batman v Superman was in the same boat of good peer to peer word of mouth but struggled with not being rewatchable which apparently is a big reason for many films to get big pops in the box office.
>>
>>83029779
>Teeamwork?
And what did they do, if not teamwork, you fucking idiot?

Keep in mind that they were rookies, they weren't an experienced team.

You also gloss over the fact, that it took Magneto, Prof X, Cyclops, Storm AND Phoenix to defeat Apocalypse. It's like you're being a retard on purpose.
>>
>>83029794
To be honest, I regret not watching BvS. If I knew that critics would shit on X-Men so hard, I would probably shill for that movie out of spite for mcucks
>>
>>83029813
Batman v Superman is fine for one sitting for the spectacle, but it is a highly flawed film. It's exactly like Age of Ultron, which I only liked for the punching and explosions but not for the characters or depth because outside of what it did best it didn't have much of a cohesive plot.

Guilty pleasure of the month BvS was, fun, was hated a bit too much, but I could see why people didn't go back to watch it after the first time.

The problem with Bryan Singer's X-Men films is that he doesn't cast actors that have charisma or know how to act. Also the costumes always make his films look like straight to DVD garbage.

I sort of get the sense that when each reviewer gets to have their reviews counted on the Tomatometer, they get to choose how their personal star or other grading system translates to "Rotten" or "Fresh". That, or they make the reviewer make a hard and fast decision with each movie about whether they overall liked it or not, in addition to the little blurb they write that shows up on RT.
>>
>>83030098
What happened, did Magneto go so overboard that even Apocalypse told him to dial it back?
>>
>>83028372
>>83030669
Thinking about it, a 50% score can either mean the critics were completely split on it, with some thinking it was the second coming of Christ and others the shittiest shit to ever have been shat. Or, it can mean most critics were lukewarm on it and their apparent split is due to having to rate it yea or nay. You can only tell once you actually dig into the reviews themselves.

But yeah, I think that the movie will have really good word of mouth. The movie is basically DOFP-tier, so people hating on Apocalypse would have to admit that they hated DOFP as well
