It is never going to be fixed until they give it to the MCU. Period. Sad, because I really like the cast and I think the films have come a long way since the 2000s.

I think after the fallout of Infinity War, where the MCU will likely change a lot going forward, they'll have room to slowly introduce the X-Men off to the side. But I think it's right they're going deeper into the non-mutant well right now.

The Wolverine collapses into a mess of CGI in its final act, so…

What's memorable about Romijn's performance? That one time she flipped someone the bird, or the fact that she never wore clothes?

Rebecca Romijn's Mystique was a glorified stunt double and sexy sight gag. While I actually don't think Romijn is a terrible actress, the way they visualized and used Mystique was lousy.

Let's not bring up the terrible Mekanix miniseries, where Claremont has Kitty Pryde and Karma flirting. (We all know Kitty's only girlfriend was Illyana)

It was a dumb PR stunt that really came out of nowhere in the stories in their respective books (in part because BET head Reginald Hudlin was writing BP's book at the time, while Christopher Priest's extremely-influential run had been marginalized in favor of Hudlin's name value). They eventually walked it back.

The Usual Suspects was 20 years ago.

They chose whatever was left after Fox, Singer and Ratner just raided the canon and threw in a bunch of characters as mostly mute, expendable extras in the first 3 movies.

The problem with all of that is that most of the actual First Class was used up in the Singer movies/Last Stand and their fucked continuity.

Living in his parents' basement, IIRC.

I don't even want to know where that expression comes from.

You forgot to mention that it can't use Sharlto Copley.

His Alien idea is almost certainly nothing more than a rehash of Aliens, but with more guns, more CGI, more explosions and a far more ham-handed take on the Evil Company that Alien fans tired of in the early '90s. So yeah.

Enough with fucking Sharlto Copley. I am sure that if Blomkamp somehow manages to get his terrible-sounding Aliens fanfic sequel made, Sharlto Copley will turn up again to 'steal the show' from Ripley. (And BTW, is there any doubt that his idea would be little more than a vapid run-and-gun action movie with more Evil…

It's sad how he went full Juggalo.

Even butchered Ambersons is superior to many films.

Southland Tales is the nadir.

In this case Nabin is right. It's as bad as Elysium, just in a slightly less boring way.

Saw this on Showtime not long ago. Really not good.
