Apocalypse is one of the first superhero movies I can remember seeing at the theater where I felt bored. It kinda marked the end of the X-men cinematic universe for me. Maybe Disney can make it good again down the road.Man this looks worse than Apocalypse and Sophie Turner is legit abysmal in this trailer footage. Unless this turns out to be a surprise then I'm relegating this to netflix while mega-bored viewing.

One of my main issues with Fox X-Men is just the timeline stopped making sense. I am sure someone who is a fan and has it all charted can tell me I am wrong, but it just seemed needlessly convoluted.
From what I understand, all these films exist together. From X-Men 1 to Wolverine Origins to Days of Future Past to Logan. Correct me if I am wrong but I was led to believe they are all on the same "timeline."
Assuming that is true, some of these characters/character interactions make zero sense.
Nah, there's separate timelines. X-men 1-3/First Class/The Wolverine/DOFP before the time reset are in one timeline (Origins: Wolverine is non-canon). Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix follow the new timeline set by the end of DOFP. Logan is in a completely separate timeline since it can't be the first timeline as Logan's world condition doesn't include any Sentinels, but also can't be the new timeline because they mention in Logan that there had been no new mutants in 25 years but in the epilogue to DOFP there are kids all over the place.
It's a bit convoluted but honestly it's still easier than trying to follow the many times DC and Marvel have had alternate earths, alternate timelines, cosmic retcons, etc. in the actual comics.

Did anyone see that video/news/whatever where McAvoy says they had to reshoot the whole ending because the original was "too similar to another superhero movie?"
Word on the street is it was too close to Captain Marvel with them fighting enemy spaceships and shapeshifting aliens. Of course, there wasnt much of a battle to begin with in CM so it seems silly to me that they changed it.

Storm actress unhappy with role?
didnt watch, but probably more like "fans unhappy with Storm Actress"
id rather they de-aged halle berry. and I am NOT a Halle Berry fan.
Before watching, be warned that Grace has a habit of “imply spoilering” or “reference spoilering” movies in her non-spoiler reviews. I’ve only watched the first 30 seconds of this where she says the movie is “surprisingly watchable” and that’s all I was looking to hear so closed it out

Prrrrrrp.
The franchise is all over the place. The movies range from amazing to kinda cool to downright awful. Truly a sight to behold. With Dark Phoenix i expected nothing and the reviews so far seem to prove it

Actually, don't bother, I have the objective truth right here:
For balance
I'm hearing they dropped some woke scenes in the movie mostly to do with the X-men name. Seems the franchise might not be called X-men going forward...
More money I save...
Aren't the X-Men themselves a political metaphor, and have been since day one of their comics? Hasn't some form of a political aspect been in every X-Men film with the exception of The Wolverine?

I don't think I can ever take Jean Grey seriously again due to the 90s cartoon series

Everyone has a level of tolerance to Hollywood (Marvel) preaching. Mine has been exceeded.Aren't the X-Men themselves a political metaphor, and have been since day one of their comics? Hasn't some form of a political aspect been in every X-Men film with the exception of The Wolverine?
there are just too many damn comic book movies. i actually liked X-Men Apocalypse but i only just gave the Avengers 3 hours of my life just a few weeks ago. ffs.
growing up, i kind of felt that all major franchises only had 2 good movies. Terminator. Aliens. TMNT. Batman. Ghostbusters. Jurassic Park. Star Wars. The Matrix.
but this need to endlessly pump out sequels, it's like, every new movie that comes out, i care less and less. it is like when you repeat a word over and over again, it looses all meaning, it just becomes a series of sounds, grotesque, absurd, gratuitous.
