@Waddles - how about some BEAST-iality

@Will44482 - Okay, this might sound crazy but hear me out, maybe a lot of us don’t really like those movies all that much.

@Will44482 - *I don’t understand why

@Will44482 - I don't agree with that at all. DoFP was a good movie and entertaining. I'd even say its the best X-Men movie. But in full Fox fashion, it still had a lot of the same crap that irritates me.

1. How can Kitty suddenly transport people's consciousness through time and into their body in the past? We've never seen her do anything remotely close to that, and anything she has ever phased has been herself or solid objects. Yet, now she can send someone's completely intangible thoughts into their past body?

2. The future X-Men team. Why do we care about half of them again? We didn't see any of them for longer than a minute total on screen, yet we're supposed to care when they are getting killed? Bishop, Warpath, Blink, and Sunspot. I don't even think they even said Warpath and Sunspot's names.

3. Magneto taking control of Sentinels by jamming rebar into them? Explain to me how that works again? Lol. So now his powers allow him to run electrical currents through mechanical objects and control them? Makes no sense.

Its just par for the course though. Ramming in characters into movies where they don't belong and doing them dirty, and totally getting people's powers all wrong.

You don't really get any of that in Civil War or Winter Soldier. (Winter Soldier beint one of my favorite CBM's of all time.)

@tripttwe - Yeah, I agree, but I really don't want mutants to just appear out of the Multiverse or from the Snap. I feel like thats really lazy, and there's a much better way to do it.

@tripttwe - Man, I don't know why but I always loved Arcade and Mojo. I don't think we'd ever see them as big threats in the films, but I would love it.

But them again I always loved the weirder Batman villains too, like Ventriloquist and Mad Hatter.

@TheUnworthyThor - Have they confirmed if The Mutants is the actual name of the film or if its just a working title?

Either way, I really struggle with this. I don't know that the X-Men need solo films or shows first. Mainly because they all have their powers for the same reason. They were born with them. And they've been at Xavier's school training.

But at the same time, the X-Men have always benefitted from their characters having so much depth, and I'm not sure you can pull that off with a 2 hour long team movie. Surely you can only focus on a few main people and only give small explanations for others

I do like the idea of them showing up in other Marvel movies and shows though. Storm could show up in Black Panther showing off her African roots. Rogue could show up in Captain Marvel 2 and show how she got her powers. Colossus could have been in Black Widow since it deals with Russia.

People like Wolverine and Gambit don't need tons of story in the first movie because they already have shadowy pasts. Gambit could have a D+series after the movie. Wolverine should have a solo trilogy beginning with Origin, Weapon X, and Alpha Flight ending with him meeting Xavier.

And Cyclops and Jean should have their stories told in the first movie, with Sinister being the villain and catalyst for that.

@Godzillakartt - I would loce to see the Brood. But the problem is the X-Men, at their very core, are all about protecting the people that fear and hate them. So I think its really important that the first trilogy deals with that theme.

My perfect idea would be that mutants are pretty much unknown to the wider MCU. Even mkst mutants don't really know why they have powers. Xavier's school is an outreach program to help mutants cope with their powers.

The first movie should be Sinister manipulating Trask in the government. He tells Trask that mutants exist and they will be the dominant species within 3 generations. So Trask outs mutants to the world and gets backing to create the Sentinels. Like Sentinels always do, even their cold logic can tell that mutants are just humans, so they start capturing and killing normal people also. Xavier takes his best students and forms a team to stop the Sentinels.

Part 2 should be Magneto. We see that instead of him being a WW2 concentration camp survivor, that he was actually held in a government testing facity that performed experiments on mutants and sometimes killed them on accident. This way he still keeps all his same motivations while not requiring him to be 80 something years old. He attacks humans because he sees the Sentinels as an act of war on mutants.

3rd movie we learn that in the first movie, Sinister was testing mutants and humans for the coming of Apocalypse. Apocalypse is the main villain.

In my eyes that would be a good first arc and put something of an ending to the mutants vs humans side of things. Then they can dig into more sci-fi stuff, like The Brood, Starjammers, Shi-ar, and literally anything else they would want to do.
