Comic book fanboys I will say this to you.....

The studio and production teams are trying to make money off these movies.

Given that variable they try to write and present the movies and characters in such a manner that they appeal not only to comic book fanboys but also men, women, and younger children who aren't as big on reading comics and figuring out the origin and background information on these characters.

Its all about the dollar at the end of the day and these movies are presented in a fashion to maximize profits at the box office.

That's the whole idea I been tryna convey in here. The general audience doesn't really give a damn about the subtle nuances of X-Men lore, they just want an entertaining movie with action and a decent story.

This should open the door for an increase in interest for the brand. You can sell the cartoon on DVDs, new toys, video games etc.

I hate to see Hollywood butcher shit but they do so under the understanding that the audience won't really notice how much the story is disconnected from the comic stories.

^^^ Basically these hardcore comic book fan boys have difficulty understanding that though.

 

[Broddie]

Stop generalizing and painting everybody with the same brush. I'm sure most people here know that adaptations always will take liberties to appeal to a mass audience. However some adaptations do it much better than others while still retaining the essence of their source material intact. Recent examples of ones more successful than any of the X-Men movies in terms of comic book superhero properties include The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Batman, Superman, The Amazing Spider-Man and Kick-Ass so yeah.

this is the same dude that gave us Usual Suspects and we know that he has the ability to tell a dope ass story, it's just that concerning the X-Men, he's choosing not to.[/b]

That movie was always overrated as hell to me. It'd be one I'd nominate in your overrated classics thread. Most of it is boring as hell with some average ass performances outside of Byrne and Spacey though Del Toro had his moments. The best part of that movie is it's awesome ending. Bryan Singer just has a very sterile and muted style of filmmaking that never really resonates with me at all.

co-sign you 10000% there. That's always been my biggest problem with the movies, even X3 which wasn't directed by Singer still felt like his bland-style.

It's like if you compared a good movie to stained glass, you know you've got all these different colors and shit to show all these different emotions and great things, and then singer's movies are just a plain ass clear glass window pane.

it's like the depressing buzzkill friend who is decent but you start to question why you're hanging out with them because they're so bland, uninteresting, and ruin things.

You guys really killed the enthusiasm I had for this movie. I was pretty excited after watching the clip at comic con then you guys had to go a day remind me how bad synger and fox have been

Truth be told B the movies haven't been that bad. These niggas are exaggerating, I been watching all them shits and I think their dope movies, they won't get anybody any oscars or anything but still solid flicks.

Like I been saying these fools want everything to be perfect like the comics and that shits impossible. It's a movie not a comic B.

it's called nerd rage son! RAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude I just watched X-3 and i don't get he complaints, I can't judge shit off what I want it to be only by what it is.

That huge fight scene at the end was dope shit. Magneto chucking cars and Pyro lighting them on fire, Jean committing indescriminate mass ownage of both humans and mutants.

I just fucks with it. I can't hate it, shit I tried. No point in getting all extra with it, all I want is a good flick and it is *shrugs*.

4juggernaut. bad enough they didn't even acknowledge the fact that he and Xavier are stepbrothers,if they did it would've been a wholenother storyline so I guess the writters didn't have time for that shit.

bruh, there could be an entire x-men trilogy just based on all of the fuckin relationships between all of the characters, they're not going to put in every detail from the comics.

More people need to understand this, but at the same time Marvel did it successfully so why can't Fox?

They only have 2 properties, X-Men and Fantastic 4 but they don't even have to connect those 2 IMO. Marvel on the other hand was able to have successful solo movies from Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor and then have them all form like Voltron and drop this powerhouse movie.

Trailer

Could this be nimrod? because that don't look like no regular sentinel.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

I hear what niggas are sayin',. That your average movie goer cares not about the specifics of the comic books blah blah. But I've never seen that as an excuse for these shitty films. if they made the shit correct to the source or not, casual fans wouldn't kno'. So why not make a good film that is close to the source material. That way, everyone is happy

 

[DarthRozay]

inb4 someone finds something to complain about in that pic.

"wrong! wrong! WRONG! Professor X's facial hair was NOT like that in the comics!"

 

[DarthRozay]

Is that supposed to be beast?

 

[iron man1]

Yup that's beast...............continuity HA!

 

[eyes low]

That dude mark miller or whatever his name is said their might be a fantastic 4 Xmen crossover

 

[iron man1]

He said they are in the same universe but no crossovers are planned for now. They are most likely waiting to see how the ff reboot does.

Adapting is one thing, completely changing or ignoring key plot elements is way different though.

And notice both those were fucked up by their bad attempts at making them romantic films as opposed simply telling the stories. Yes super heroes have love stories but Fantastic 4 seemed like a bad attempt at a super hero romantic comedy. As far as X-Men if you went into those first 3 films knowing nothing about the franchise all you'd walk away knowing is Professor X and Magneto really can't be fucked with, Cyclops is a bitch who got who girl snatched, and Wolverine is a love sick bitch over Jean

 

[Sour-Cream]

I wonder if they're gonna explain that beast and wolverine are cousins...

Na, this movie has shit written all over it, lmao.

 

[Sour-Cream]

Would y'all watch avengers if hulk was played by Brad Pitt and looked nothing like a scientist or Tony Starks was played someone that looks nothing like him in the comics? What if Captain America was Chinese?

Catch my drift?

 

[DarthRozay]

Yeah if the actors were still good actors, I would watch it.
