Your favorite X-Men story is two issues long. Outside of replacing Kitty with Logan, they did that comic justice with that movie. Sentinels are really bad, especially in the future, and Mystique trying to assassinate someone is the main reason why. The comic isn't long enough to expand beyond that basic premise too

What if I dip my balls in it? Did they study that yet?

Yeah, I love RDJ and the pathos of that scene is going to be off the charts in the movie, but Tony Stark could stand to get his ass thoroughly kicked at this point.

Goo goo ga joob!

MY EMOTIONS!!!

Well, I'm not sure DS9 is universally beloved, first of all. But Roddenberry's vision was a future society in which people of all races, colors, creeds, genders, sexualities, birthplaces, all that makes us different, could work together in relative peace and harmony. Being a sci-fi show, that included people and

Ha! I think I remember that now.

It's too long, that's the egregious part. Seriously, it goes on for something like 10 minutes. I timed it once, don't remember the exact length, but it's way, way too long. Even the shot of the giant ship in Spaceballs, a joke about how big those machines are, only takes around 2 minutes to cover the entire thing.

Haha, that's a bit more detailed but essentially what I said in reply to @HobbesMkii

The idea practically writes itself!

They could show up in the present, just have one of their movies end with them stranded in the Negative Zone and they re-emerge now. Or they could really do the family stuff with their kids taking over in the future. I just think the MCU house style would excel at the gee whiz 1960s sci-fi genre that Kirby more or

I totally like the idea of V'Ger being the source of the Borg, and it does make (at least) thematic sense for Decker's incorporation to be what causes it. But the whole thing of Kirk being the savior is just… come on, Bill.

Yes, "William" "Shatner" certainly does.

Agreed. That sequence with the re-introduction of the Enterprise is both gorgeous and egregious.

Yeah, my dream is for them to join the MCU and fill in the space between Captain America: First Avenger and the flashbacks of Ant-Man, and hopefully the flashbacks of Ant-Man and the Wasp. A 1960s science! adventure.

I actually think a Franklin animated movie, with HERBIE as his babysitter, could be a lot of fun. At least, those back-up comics from a few years ago were a blast.

Roommates don't have to be buddies, and Doom certainly doesn't need to be part of the mission that gives them powers.

Door Man is indeed a devious, swarthy foe.

Right? They're already in the spaceship (or whatever their sci-fi origin du jour is), there's some character establishing banter, something goes wrong, they get bombarded with energy, smash cut to the titles. Then "Six Months Later…" they're a team of crime fighters, and the movie is about them becoming superheroes.

Hm. Doom as an X-Men villain? Mutants fighting a human who wants to take over the world? Who would the world side with? Their saviors, or their own kind? I like it. Release date March 2018, in case it still sucks.
