726314, boring Posted by BigWorm, Thu Dec-07-17 01:08 PM
Next to Spiderman, X-Men comics were my favorite as a teen back in the 90s.
Sadly I feel like they ran it into the ground. For me the last straw was that they took a great villain like Apocalypse, cast a great actor like Oscar Isaacs, and still managed to make a garbage movie. They didn't even really know what to do with Michael Fassbender in it, other than give his character a half-assed version of how he develops in the last two movies. They even have a chance to switch it up a little with the estranged son subplot...and they don't. Logan was a smart move, going off in an entirely different direction in a seemingly alternate universe and not providing a clear explanation for any of that shit. Take it or leave it.
Pretty bored with this stuff now. I guess The New Mutants movie could be interesting if it's more of a horror movie than another tired X-Men movie.
