Marvel Cinematic Universe

To be fair, this could be their last chance to win back the fans after the last few films tanked at the box office.
Still don't know why Spiderman gets away with keeping his web fluid tech to himself. in general the spider powers are worth fuck all compared to that fluid. sticking to walls isn't that helpful for stopping crime or other shit.
Maybe he doesn't want to risk selling it in case his enemies get the formula?

Well yeah, its just hilarious watching how the Russos basically cooked themselves because they are terrible directors.

Movie is probably not going to be good though since the casting of RDJ already is enough to make me believe they are relying on desperate appeals to nostalgia than making a good movie
 
The Russo bros were also rumored to direct the future X men movies. Feige has sounded a bit excited about the mutants (I think he claimed to be a fan), so who knows if he will change his mind about this too.

TBF, despite I'm not fan of the Russos, one movie flop doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna fuck up other projects. For what I've read, the og source of that movie they just did is a bit difficult to adapt.
 
I think they will scrap X-Men personally just because the next couple of films are going to lose so much money. At the moment Disney is trying to sell a lot of their assets like ABC because their growth is so fucked along with their profitability.

Outside of the people doomin' on the MCU, all I've heard about this movie has been "it's an alright movie clearly aimed at kids, nothing spectacular or particularly ambitious but not terrible". Which doesn't mean it's not a bad adaptation of the source material, but maybe the RUSSOS DISASTER is a bit overstated.
 
I already tardraged about this once but the short version is that the beauty of mutants as an underclass is that they aren't real so you can use them as a stand-in for whatever you want and that's why it's gay and retarded to make them literally gay and retarded.
Its even gayer and more retarded to have the Xmen be hated considering most of them are conventionally attractive people, especially the women, who all save the country multiple times over and work for a wealthy and genuinely intelligent man. Every modern day story where they are hated is pure agitprop made to farm tears from stupid people.
 
(I think he claimed to be a fan
his origin story is that he was a PA but got rapidly promoted because he was the only one on the set of X-men who actually knew anything about the X-men. by the end of the film he became 2nd in command of Marvel studios. which is fucking insane

honestly as much as i enjoyed the xmen films, its going to be impossible to juggle all that shit and give everyone meaningful screentime, thats always the problem with the X-men films, and why by the 3rd one the screen time for everyone was cut to a handful of minutes. there's like 151 mutants people all love and have great powers how you going to fit that all in a 2 hr movie or even 3 of them a year?

I don't entirely disagree with you and if it was a low or mid budget film then being an inoffensive generic film is fine but having a 300 million budget and flopping just made people want to point and laugh at it harder.

No, for sure, but 300 million flops seems to be the way of Hollywood these days.

Original cartoon and first X-Men movie managed their introduction not badly, tbh. Both had the same premise: young mutant (Jubilee/Rogue) just got their powers and unintentionally cause damage (broke electronics at home/put bf in coma). They get chased and later rescued by a "team" with powers (both had Scott and Storm) and taken to the mansion for the proper introduction (War Room/Med. Room) of who and what the X-Men are. Both had also a small scene with exposition of why they have powers, making a difference with other heroes about how they are born this way.

If you never heard of the x-men before, this is enough to give you enough context: Xavier is the founder, Cyclops is the leader, Jean can read minds, the Mansion is their HQ, etc. The cartoon fleshed them all a little bit more: Beast is the brains of the group, Morph was the prankster, Gambit was the ladies' man, Logan was... Logan. All in 40 minutes, the run of Night of the Sentinels.

As they keep claiming it will be the "Mutant Saga", I take it as we're having origin stories of the original group, which is Scott, Jean, Bobby, Beast, and Angel. There is no way they're gonna adapt all the mess that it was the split of two groups in the 70s, so I take they will just find a way to later add the other popular mutants (remember they said there is already a casting call for Kitty and Gambit, and they came in the 80s-90s respectively). As there were also rumors of Sinister being cast, there is the chance to also have an origin for Scott.

It's really not impossible to adapt the X-Men saga, but Disney currently are too ambitious and they want all stories without the building. If it depended on me, I'd make the first movie about the original five members vs Magneto and the brotherhood, which includes origin stories for the five students, the backstory for the romance friendship between Xavier and Magneto, and the possible recruitment of new less known mutants like Polaris, and Havok, which are just small roles. But people are also impatient and they will demand for Logan, Gambit, and Storm, and Disney, being idiots, will comply and we might end up with another Eternals fiasco.

Outside of producing one good movie, the Russos haven't made any good movies.

Also this movie is a massive disaster since the Russos actively seeked to make this movie before the book was even out yet since they liked the author's previous work. Like it isn't a situation like The Flash where the studio picked a random director to finish their movie (ironically the director of The Flash was the Russo's original pick to direct this). Hell they picked the guys who wrote Captain America 2 & 3 and the last two Avengers movies.

The Electric State movie was the Russo's passion project where they blatantly misunderstood the source material they supposedly were fans of since the source material was a pretty dark future that was almost horror-like in some aspects. But the Russos took this dystopian art book and made it action slop where they had Mister Peanut lead a resistance, and completely make a movie that ultimately said nothing.

This movie is 100% their own doing since they were the ones who chose the book, chose the writers, chose the actors, and were pretty much given all the creative control in the world.
 
Good couple of episodes for Daredevil this week. More MCU connections than I was expecting, but they don't particularly detract from the overall story.
 
So they announced the Doomsday cast and pretty much are bringing in as many X-Men cameos as possible including Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. There's also Channing Tatum which honestly, good for him.

The funniest thing to me is how the entire Thunderbolts cast got confirmed except for Taskmaster, so they pretty much spoiled she's toast.
