Jlaw Mystique? Not today, Satan
I see you, most people would think she was a generic cat girl, but her people are closer to skunks

I would've handled this movie series by having Mystique being portrayed by a different actress in each movie. She's a fuckin' SHAPESHIFTER, yet she stays in JLaw form 75% of the movie.
man that smasher no look pass from morrison to hickman is one of the GOAT x men moments
Somehow his daughter didn't die in the last film and she's being raised by someone else after Charles wiped her memory of her real parents. Magneto finds out and turns on the X-Men by handing Jean over the Imperial Guard. He goes to his daughter and has her memories restored. His daughter helps him realise he would be just as bad as Charles if he let the Guard take Jean away and swoops in to help the X-Men.
This makes no sense but I bet Fox could find a way to make this happen.

Jessica Chastain?
Is the end fight going to play out in a court room, or office meeting room? pant suits?
White board in the background?
well,
i hope so.

What is it with skunks and French accents? Some national stereotype characterization that existed in the 50's but not now?
(I realize the former is who Marvel Hepzibah is ripped off from, I mean inspired by)

One man gets to ruin The Dark Phoenix story twice in the same franchise, that's something I tells ya.
Is there a precedent for that? There has to be, somebody have had to fuck up a franchise twice

I don't get it. Is Miss Sloan the only Jessica Chastain movie you've ever seen?
I know I can find a picture of a shi'ar court room or office setting somewhere. just you wait.

George Lucas messed up 3 straight Star Wars movies.
In the original story her brother is the one fucking shit up, she is actually an X-men ally
I hope Chastain has some dumbass triangular feather hair.
JLaw isn't a good Mystique.
I'm not usually a "not accurate to the source material!" person, but I wish they would actually do the scene of Jean's friend dying and then later Jean getting fucked up by radiation in the space shuttle before awakening to her phoenix powers. Then it would actually be interesting as opposed to "Oh, these powers? I just have these. And I'm mad now."

Not a 1 movie story.
Also, if they do sideways hawk, I hope she dons the sideways hawk helmet. I love hair helmets that fit air styles. The "hairmet"
They can't because they have to do space stuff now because They Are Groot.
they had like 5 seconds of actual x men at the end there
then were like lol no more jlaw plz

Fox give Marvel some characters, I want and Uncanny Avengers movie. Wait who has rights to She-Hulk?
It sucks when the X-Men becomes about 1 or 2 people instead of team dynamics. It's like they missed the entire point.

I'm only going to see this film because of McAvoy and Fassbender since the start. I love watching those two play their characters.

Didn't Apocalypse show his parents?
I feel this is another case of doing something too soon. Give us a few movies with Sophie before this Dark Phoenix thing. Build up her character, give some room to experience a few (hopefully good) stories with her (& other people involved), give us a lot of reasons to care & be more impacted by this turn and whatever possibly tragic shit happens.
I think one of the (potential) positives of these continuous universes is that there's a possibility to explore characters from different angles and see these characters grow & go through varied, imaginative scenarios that get more use out of their powers & personalities & interactions with other characters, which can make dramatic moments that much more potent.
While masterfully done a movie in most aspects in its own right, Logan wouldn't have had half the impact if it had been, like, the second film with Jackman & Stewart. Same goes for Civil War. Having spent so much time with Iron Man & Cap, it did elevate the experience. Feel like this, Apocalypse and BvsSupes are rushing to the Civil War & Avengers moments without having done enough work to earn the grand "here are these people you've been following for awhile finally together" gathering of superheroes or drama between heroes (or half-assing both like BvS).

If it's too much trouble to get into playing the character, they can always hire someone else. Honestly, it's almost uncomfortable how much time she spends not-Mystique in Apocalypse, given the character's history and motivations.

Shoulda used that JLaw money and thrown it at Jackman.
