The whole Marvel superhero thing is getting over cooked. X-men are getting beaten to a pulp trying to squeeze more money out of the franchise.
I’m old, but I enjoyed the comic books when I was a kid. The superhero movies in the first wave were fascinating, I loved them. The Christian Bale Batman movies, the first Spiderman, the original X-men, Iron Man, Thor, great stuff.
X-men epitomizes what is going wrong with all of them. The story wanders, the alternate timelines are confusing, and replacement actors dilute the product. I just watched X-men Apocalypse the other evening. It was terrible, I mean really bad.
Hollywood has no ideas, and their cash cow is starting to go dry.
I never cared about X-Men.
Oh well.
I got a great idea why not hire good writers and allow them to be creative and write original scream plays that don’t rely on previously written material
