Earlier this month, enthusiasts celebrated the 20th anniversary of the X-Men of the 2000s, and while it’s simple to revisit this film with pink glasses (it actually replaced the game with the superhero genre), there are many things Fox has done with the Marvel franchise… while they were still in charge.
Now Marvel Studios is in charge of rebooting the X-Men franchise, which is extremely exciting for many reasons. However, we still can’t help getting back to the history of these films with disappointment, and while the long run is really brilliant, the beyond is definitely full of mistakes.
These are the ones we’re hunting today as we explore what we haven’t painted with the ones and the only moments and decisions, with the hope that Marvel Studios might not repeat the mistakes of the beyond when the reboot took place.
It was a debatable resolution about the marvel comics component to reveal the early years of wolverine in the pages of Origins, but the story was well won through fans… well, for the maximum component anyway.
However, his early years were absolutely caused in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a series of artistic opening credits actually presented James Howlett’s story with the war, his years of training really deserved to be more than just overlooked in a matter of minutes.
Cyclops’ laughable death scene in X-Men: The Last Stand came as almost a relief after the previous movies butchered the character. The leader of the X-Men was turned into the possessive and unlikeable boyfriend of Jean Grey, and his sole obsession with not letting Wolverine get his claws on her ultimately made him a bore to watch.
James Marsden perfectly well in the role, but the brave leader of the X-Men turned into a jealous and small crybaby did him no justice and led enthusiasts to feel these films.
Unfortunately, each and every edition of this team we saw in the original trilogy of the film was either C-list characters that no one cared about, or very poor interpretations of the enthusiasts were doing. In the end, it all seemed to boil down to Magneto and Mystique (perhaps that’s why their encounters became an integral component of X-Men: First Class).
However, the way Sabretooth and Toad were treated disappointingly from the start, so maybe it’s just a sign of things to come… Either way, the smug people did little to fix it and only weakened the Brotherhood enthusiasts they hoped to see in the comics.
The absence of Wolverine’s vintage blue and yellow dress in the global X-Men videos is a big surprise, but the resolution to give him and the rest of the dress team as if he were a comic book fan (without any personality type) returns.
As if to underline how monotonous and generic these black leather fittings were, the X-Men X saw Wolverine borrow one of cyclops’ costumes, and things didn’t happen until Deadpool in 2016.
The X-Men 2011: First Class served as a reboot for the X-Men franchise, and Matthew Vaughn’s edition of these characters would prove to be one of the most productive to date. However, as it is also a prequel to the original trilogy established in the 1960s, the director has confined himself to whom he can use only as members of the “first class” of mutants.
As a result, we ended up basically getting B-list characters like Banshee and Angel from the vintage line (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, Beast and Iceman).
Instead of focusing on the “Dark Phoenix Saga”, the X-Men: The last stand also made the decision to stuff elements of Joss Whedon’s very good X-Men race. It certainly did nothing to this story, and the fact that there was a mutant became little more than a practical conspiracy that still didn’t really end up serving much.
As if to display it, they deported Rogue, Mystique and Magneto, but finished the film returning to the latter their skills. So what’s the point of this cure? It’s still some other frustrating component of one of the worst X-Men films, and anything that X-Men: Days of Future Past didn’t bother to deal with the return of some familiar faces.
“I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!” is not only one of the top lines worthy of a movie, but also a clever indication of how Brett Ratner misinterpreted this character in X-Men: The Last Stand. Whether it’s the ridiculous dress or that horrible dialogue, the iconic villain has been absolutely wasted, and he’s been little more than an Internet meme ever since.
There are many characters that the X-Men franchise failed to make its transition to genuine action, but this would possibly be the worst example. Juggernaut has at least one comic personality and his role in The Last Stand boils down to nothing, a pity, since he is the kind of villain who can and deserves to have a long season on screen.
As we mentioned, “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is a vintage comedian arc, and although it was still unlikely to be adapted faithfully to the big screen (part of the story took position on the moon), what we have X-Men: The Last Stand was, in the end, a big disappointment.
Professor X and Cyclops were killed with little or no idea or meaning, and the return of Jean Grey’s death as a dark Phoenix came this far for his manipulation through Magneto and intense hunting of people! Writer Simon Kinberg shared years of talking about regretting his resolutionArray… and then start all over again with Dark Phoenix.
Colossus was a victim of the X-Men franchise’s bad cameo habit early on, but movies like X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine went really crazy with the Easter Eggs, throwing in pretty much anyone and everyone just for the sake of it, even if it didn’t make sense.
The last few films did exactly the same thing; To prove this, just see how Psylocke and Archangel were treated in X-Men: Apocalypse (you can also upload Jubilee to the list).
Logan is a wonderful film, but it’s not the adaptation of “Old Man Logan” that many enthusiasts have been waiting for. When Hugh Jackman uttered these words at Comic-Con, it became transparent that Fox might not just adapt it faithfully (given the number of characters from Marvel Studios studios in the comics), but the film turned out to be a tale with an older edition of Wolverine!
It’s simple to forgive in so many ways, because James Mangold’s Logan was great. However, it was undeniably disappointing that when Wolverine breathed his last breath, he was in the hands of a clone.
