You are good people. I'm starting a petition, we gon make this happen!
X1 is really terrible for every possible standpoint.
I never liked what they did with Civil War, but having tension between a big group of superheroes is part of what made Avengers so good. I don't think they should do a 'Avengers 3: CIVIL WAR' or anything, but the idea is fertile for a good story.

So would I. I'd love to see a Hulkbuster armor at some point. Even if it's just in the background in IM3, or something.
do you know what happens when a toad is struck by lightning?
I think that's a given for Avengers 2, and it will be glorious.
I'd like to see Jarvis gain sentience... but that's a bit too stupid for the Movies I think.

The entire comic movie industry owes Singer for what he achieved with X1. That's not to say it's aged well, but that's only because there was nothing like it before it's release.
As a team comic book movie, yes. Also that director for Blade and Tim Burton for Batman.
This is true. X1 was the first hit and S-M1 was the first megahit. Together they are responsible for the past 12 years of superhero movies.

Why does everyone forget it was blade that started the revival of the comic movies?

Isn't that line Whedon's, too? :lol
Sentry said:That was the most cringe worthy? Dude. You're forgetting a lot of hilariously shot scenes.
I guess I am. Most people seem to pick the Doc Ock train fight, which I didn't take issue with outside obvious CG shots. The Aunt May scene to me was just beating the "BE A HERO!" stuff in my head that I just groan at every viewing.
Because Blade made $70M while X-Men made $160M.
the Blade Blu finally coming this year! (don't mention the crappy Canadian release that's out now.)

Who owns the rights to Blade? I remember reading somewhere that they were planning a prequel trilogy about Deacon Frost.
I'd love to see an assault on Latveria end up the same way Wolverine's attack on Genosha does in Wolverine in the X-Men - what the hell were we thinking?

You forgot the real savior, the one that removed the sour taste Batman and Robin left:
Without him, Blade would be nothing! NOTHING!

For an R rated comic book movie in 1998 that was very good.

Batman and Blade were good movies, but their styles weren't transformative. X-1 practically layed out the humour, human drama, and Hollywood blockbuster action style that went on to form the structure of practically every comic book movie that came after. Oh and it made a decent amount of money to create the incentive.
Taking the topic to the MCU thread. ASSEMBLE!: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=37668574#post37668574I'm really not seeing it. I'm open to see what you have in mind though. Maybe you could propose it in the MCU thread. I really think the entire idea is terrible to the core.
This thread has basically become future MCU talk anyway, lol.

Because it wasn't that comic booky. Blade feels like something that could have been created on its own, without being based off a comic.
It wasn't until X-Men and Spider-Man that people went "oh, so superheroes can be done".
well, you have a point there.

I wonder how many children looked that word up.
I guess he's not getting away with it in Avengers 2.
Not shitting on it, it's just hard to watch these days. It really shows how far the production values have come since Singer started this wave of modern comic book movies off.
X-Men is still watchable to me, except for Magneto's God-awful helmet.
Sabretooth was the worst.

Yeah, so true. Still kind of upset that the X-movies got borked with 3. First Class was pretty good, but it didn't really feel like the X-Men...felt more like the Brotastic Adventures of Erick and Chuck.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. Emma being in there and being played by such a terrible, terrible actress annoys me to no small end.

Magneto: Nazi Hunter was a good movie, though there was too much non-Magneto.
I like Bond Magneto. Sequel should be great with full on Magneto.
And it's not like Civil War is the alpha and the omega of Avengers stories where the team is at odds with the government. The scope of CW is not doable in the current state of the MCU anyway.I'm really not seeing it. I'm open to see what you have in mind though. Maybe you could propose it in the MCU thread. I really think the entire idea is terrible to the core.
And +1 to "Civil War was crap". The idea was interesting but It's execution was lacking. At least we got great stories from writers trying to "fix" Tony Stark and Reed Richards.

Wasn't First Class supposed to be the Magneto movie that they just combined with X-Men?
I caught it on USA this weekend and yeah...not really that good. Actually it was only the CG that was horrendous. Still stuns me just how much better X2 was and what a colossal piece of shit X3 turned out to be.

Magneto and Xavier's dialog at the Capital building was awesome. The movies should have always been about them. Nothing was wasted in the dialog or the performances in that scene.

That scene was fantastic. No special effects except awesome acting and character interactions. Those are some of the best parts of X2 as well, the quieter moments between characters and the actors really getting into it.

With that sexy brown and yellow Wolverine costume.

Yes! And a proper Colossus fastball special.

God, yes. Not this "oh, look! Wolvie is on a wire flying towards some lights that they say are a sentinel." Ugh. That was so horrible on screen. Thanks, Brett Ratner.

I hope we get the gay sentinels. Pink with the triangle symbol. And bulbous crotch.
"Mutants detected."
But more agile robots would probably work better on the big screen. Huge lumbering giants aren't exactly efficient in their retrieval of targets.

Last Stand and Origins Wolverine made me lose interest in anything X-Men without Fassbender. I was kinda hyped for Wolverine 2 but Aronofsky jumped ship so I'm not entirely convinced it'll be something I want to see even though the setting seems to be interesting.
Deadpool movie can die in a fire after what they've done to him in Origins. Just a big wtf.

I read that with a gay lisp and laughed hardily.
The Deadpool movie, from what I heard, is not going to be based on Origins but it's own thing instead.
