Before some mutant (Magneto??) took it over, it was a country that hated and enslaved mutants. There are some pretty badass stories in the mid-80s and early 90s involving X-teams getting captured or entangled with the country, getting depowered by one of the country's enslaved mutants, and having to somehow escape.

On a related note, we really need a trip to Genosha in one of the next X-movies. Hold off on the Dark Phoenix saga and other world-shaking events and just have it be a frigging 2-hour-long prison break movie with Magistrates, Cameron Hodge, and the X-Men from X-Men: Apocalypse.

Fear and Logan in Las Vegas

I am also tired of it being about "Professor X, Magneto…oh yeah, and those other guys with the Xs on their uniforms.

Just imagine if Magneto's dad had been played by Roberto Benigni!

I think it's more likely to win in the new Best It Is at What It Does category.

I think if they had him as Batman's teen hacker assistant who Bruce Wayne is also training for combat for future future crime fighting it could work (and maybe does some secret, unofficial crime fighting when Batman's away or hurt?).

Multiplicity?

It's late and I'm blanking on examples, but one that comes to mind is This Must Be the Place (Sean Penn) (which

Oh, I'm well aware that if you're not drifting towards Jimmy Fallon/James Corden-style lowest common denominator stuff you're courting disaster ratings/cancellations-wise. It'd be nice to see him say "screw it" and go down in a blaze of glory, though.

That's sort of what I'm hinting at. If he's going to get cancelled eventually, I wish he could do something radically different.

Great list, folks. I especially agree on 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8.

I'd do Her, but Spike Jonze refuses to remake it.

It should be forced to have a scarlet C as its logo forever.

Well played, 2 Broke Gorillas. Well played.

I wish they'd finally make Admiral Baby into a movie.

He was sadly lost during their first mission, entitled Operation: Danger Zone.

How's that working out for them? Being clever?

Where's my movie about anthropomorphic punctuation? The lead is an excitable exclamation point who teams up with a snooty Oxford comma with a British accent and a private eye/question mark to find out who's eliminating punctuation from text messages.
