X-men: Dark Phoenix: (June 7,2019)

So Caliban and an underground setting?

speculation: Morlocks? Maybe Storm will be aligned with them?

Another possibility is that Caliban could be one of the Horseman.
He was Archangels unofficial replacement after Warren broke free of Apocs brainwashing.

Nothing connects at all. Not from the comics nor the movies. The contradictions were such major things that they insisted to go “hey, just pretend that the other x-men movies never happened” and create random internet blogs to explain why this is like this and how this was like that. It was horrible

Vision and Scarlet Witch never had their own movie but they were well received by the fans because the writers did it write. The X-men was always a ensemble cast, giving no care to big figures like Cyclops and ruining characters like Rogue was just terrible and you should be ashamed of even defending the movies.

So?

I’m not because they ruined the x-men.

Not really “news”, but Storms actress is bald, so most likely she will have a mohawk
(IIRC only time comic storm was bald was X-tinction agenda after undergoing the mutate process)

Well, you have to understand that was an ADAPTATION. If you follow the X-Men 1 plot, you can see Rogue makes total sense as a character and as an actant in the movie, she might not be quite the same of the comics but her role was perfect in the first film…

What did you expect? Seeing her flying and throwing punches just like Superman? It was a more grounded (no pun intended) and humane interpretation of the character, a runaway self-deprived from human contact because she couldn’t touch anybody. Yeah, there was probably more room for her to grow up but the years on the Xavier Institute are much more of an adaptation of the classic young X-Men struggling with adolescence. Maybe she was not quite the same of the comics, but she was perfectly fitting with the concept of the X-Men universe.

X-Men movies were a huge step up from previous superhero movies and for sure it gave many ideas to Marvel of how to adapt superheroes to modern cinema.

They didn’t ruin shit. They got many things of the comics pretty well (maybe that’s why the Ultimate universe drew many things from their vision), some of them outright wrong (Cyclops personality) and the most blatant problem (the excessive protagonism for Wolverine) only became a major criticizable point after Singer’s exit, with X-Men 3 and Wolverine Origins. Right now, I think they’re doing the stuff pretty good.

Only elitists would shit on the franchise that catapulted the stories they love to the big screen. Blade did have success, but there’s a huge difference between a dude who’s a vampire killing other vampires vs. people with flight, telekinesis, and laser beams fighting one another.

I actually liked Rogue taking the role of Jubilee in the first X-Men movie, because Jubilee sucks.

Man, around the time the 2nd and 3rd X-Men films came out, I swear younger me thought Anna Paquin was hot as hell.

And as for Jubilee, last I heard she was some vampire or shit? I don’t really care on that though to be honest. Just put X-23 in that Wolverine sequel without fucking her up completely, and I’ll be happy.

Yeah, the movies did screw up many things, unfortunately.

Speaking of Wolverine, meet the new one

That isn’t the new Wolverine, that’s just X-23.

She’s obviously picking up the Wolverine mantle, just like what happened to Thor.

This “new Wolverine”… smh

Jubilee got turned into a vampire in a X-Men event that tried to feed off the popularity of twilight. She managed to overcome the daylight weakness and adopted a child named Shogo. Jubilee still awesome.

Is that like some weird way or trying to have her de-powered but essentially be like “hey, not she has stuff that’s more than just ‘ooh, fireworks’”?

pretty sure they alluded to her powers being more powerful pre-vampire.

She doesn’t have the fireworks anymore. She’s one of the few mutants who stayed depowered thanks to House of M.

curious i havent been following the retcon bullshit. but is 90s jubilee playing any part?

Yeah, that’s what I meant. That they pretty much were like “since she’s de-powered and lost the fireworks, we can swap them out for some other powers we think are better by making her a vampire”.

There’s a book called X-Men 92 based on the 90s animated series. She’ll likely pop up there.

A GIRL WOLVERINE OMG FUCKING SJWS DESTROYING THE SANCTITY OF WOLVERINE HE USED TO BE STRONG AND EVERYONE KNOWS GIRLS CAN’T BE STRONG WTF LIBERALS RUIN EVERYTHING

shrug She has a stronger healing factor than he did anyway, so whatever. I mean who were they expecting to be the new Wolverine? Daken with his being batshit?
