It needs to have existed for decades and engrained in society. Also if they wait until at least like 2022 and use Magneto my guy will be like at least 85 unless they write out the holocaust stuff which would be a very bad move.

      It has the coolest fight scene (the X-Men Vs the Sentinels) and they do Ice Man a little justice as someone that hard too bring down, even tho just a little, it has his justice, he is a freaking hard opponent to fight after all.
      And Quicksilver scenes was just pleasing, and Kitty Pryde is my favourite female character from the Marvel Universe, she's so cool with a cool power too, and also because of a fact that she's in a relationship with Star Lord.
      So seeing her in a movie always made me so happy.

      No, no, it’s true. Marvel had different plans for Phase 3, but a lot changed after Avengers 2 and Whedon dropping out.
      You can look up some concepts for the original idea they had for Captain America 3, with Steve becoming American Agent, and it changed even more once Spidey was confirmed to be a part of the MCU, since he wasn’t even included in original drafts.
      Unfortunately, as soon as DC announced BvS, Kevin Feige got the green light to announce they were doing Civil War. Had they at least waited a few years, they could’ve done a Spidey and a BP solo films to introduce them in the MCU without just forcing them into basically an Avengers movie.

    I feel like people tend to be too simplistic in saying that bad movies are all because of studio interference, and good movies are only because the "artist" directors were allowed to do what they want. Sometimes artists given free rein make garbage, and sometimes studio involvement makes a so-so movie amazing. What you need is a supportive studio, who picks someone who is talented and a hard worker, but also has individuals who care about the property and know when to get involved. This is the case with both Star Wars and Marvel.

  • @felman87
    @felman87 5 років тому +1

    I think one lesson we should take away from this is that the prevailing studio attitude of "audiences don't like _____" is pure bullshit. Audiences, for the most part, like a good movie. Action, comedy, emotional, whatever. If it's well-written and directed, people will enjoy it. Look at something like Game of Thrones. The early seasons were filled with small scenes between two parties discussing minute details like where to send troops, forming alliances and whatnot. It got into the nitty gritty of all the choices that characters would have to combat with. As a pitch, it sounds pretty boring. It's easy for the audience to get confused or bored and just tune out. But it was well-written, directed and acted. Whereas Season 8 just feels like a shell of the show's former self. All that attention to detail is thrown out and instead we just get the action beats without any of the political intrigue that the series gave us. Game of Thrones took the manta of "audiences don't like _____" and said "We'll write this shit so incredibly well and engaging that audiences will like it!" and look at how successful it became.

    Well there was always the successful legacy of X1, X2, FC, DOFP, Wolverine 2, Wolverine 3, and Deadpool 1 & 2. Although, I don't mind X3 or Apocalypse, they're fine to me. Not great, but entertaining enough and have a few great moments each. Just my opinion.

      The Comfy Geek Comics get very creative. Mr. Incredible stretching that thin is a small example of how creative/wild comic books tend to get with the abilities of their characters. The closest we've seen in film to the kinds of wildly creative/massive comic book fights is probably the fight scenes in Infinity War

      That and the fact that if they had saved DoFP for the third film, wouldn't that mean Vaughn would've stayed for the whole trilogy? There's no guarantee it would have turned out as good as it did, especially with how Kingsman 2 turned out. Vaughn has yet to prove that he can handle sequels properly so, in a way, I'm glad he didn't direct it.
      Edit: to add to this, I don't think it was ever confirmed Apocalypse was intended to be the second film originally so it sounds like goat boy got his facts twisted. Hell, Apocalypse should have never been a villain for this universe in the first place.
