Collider Heroes - Was X-Men: Apocalypse A Box Office Disappointment?

[@The_Fat_Fury]

1) I'm a bit flabbergasted by the mixed/negative reaction to X-men: Apocalypse. It was one of those rare films where I was giddy/excited/thrilled from beginning to end. Loved it! Also, it might actually be my favorite X-men film. 2) I'm happy to hear Eisenberg will be back as Lex in Justice League Part 1! I'm part of the minority that loved BvS and I'm part of the even smaller minority that loved Eisenberg's performance as Lex. Looking forward to seeing more from him and to see how the character has changed after the events of BvS.

[@ShaneStLaurent]

it's also my favorite team X film right barely beating first class

[@viewtifuljoe66]

From what understand consensus why such negativity and mixed reaction to this film, is people got to use to serious drama, that last two xmen films had, and the last wolverine film had. Now seem be heading back to themes of first 3 films, which i fine with, honestly i didn't hate film i liked it, but i felt had way to many mutant cameos, and apcoclypse, way they did him seem just little to reminscent of The mummy yeah stephen sommers one.

[@MrBKainX]

I disagree on apocalypse, its a really bad overstuffed film. But I do agree on Lex, I really loved him BvS.

[@RyRy16oz]

Me three! Definitely my favorite! I'm so confused by the negative reviews. Don't really get what people could've hated

[@rigsby1454]

It was a total and utter mental mess, and I loved it for it. Shlock, shlock!

[@TheJmlew11]

I don't get how John is behind the genius of Lex Luthor in BvS, but craps on Zemo and his plan

[@RedfurredPikachu]

It confuses me too, you wanna talk about convenient how the hell did Lex even know where superman's mother was in the first place, and why did'nt Superman hear her.

[@Amy-hc6xo]

agreed, doesn't make sense how anyone could be ok with lex and then say zemo was bad. doesn't make any sense. kinda lost respect for his opinion now

[@larnizzo91]

+B-dawg8504 luthor making supes and bats fight seems illogical because superman could totally search for his mom on his own in a fraction of a fraction of the hour he was given without even meeting up to fight batman. Zemo didn't want the avengers to fight, just ironman and captain America, the two most influential of the team. Everything else was adapted into the plan like broad strokes, something I beleive a former death squad secret agent could pull off if he was still under the radar. I completely respect your argument. but in my humble opinion Zemo is the lesser ridiculous of the two.

[@ca20mn]

+Anthony Cruz he didn't he just saw an opportunity and took it nowhere does he say he planned for iron man to fly there

[@ca20mn]

I'm honestly confused also Luther was lucky and has absolutely no motive he claims to want to kill a false god but then he creates monster to destroy the world? Wtf is up with him

[@joelhenry5489]

I really don't like what Amy said about Captain America and Nazism. Is this where we have reached? People are so neurotic and immature that you can no longer explore what is obviously a temporary plotline because it hurts their feelings? This is the kind of shit that leads to the bland, sanitized fiction that plagues so many genres. People have to start pushing back against this.

[@theresamonroe1651]

👍👌👏👏👏👏🙏🔥😍

[@KingKien95]

nah she makes a good point actually. it's a totally legit reason to be uncomfortable by it for some ppl.

[@joelhenry5489]

A make believe story, about a make believe character who turns out to be a member of a make believe organisation? And best of all, this will not last. It's typical comic writing. They undo these things all the time.

[@TJTetz]

+Joel Henry right, and she wasn't arguing against HydraCap, she was just saying she can empathize with people who are made uncomfortable by the storyline

[@socialAbomb]

I agree with Amy's point and I do not like it. the reason I do not like it, cause it is lazy and cheap pr stunt. marvel has been pushing these cheap stunts for awhile and this is just to far for me. so I am out.

[@Jean-PhilippeGuerin]

I found X-Men Apocalypse to be very mediocre. It had a lot of potential, but had an overbundance of characters and I did not enjoy the new cast more than the original cast. Sophie Turner was probably the best of all of them and she didn't impressed me all that much to be honest. Apocalypse was a weak villain and his motivations didn't even make sense. His four horsemen (aside from Magneto) don't do anything and he just picks them at random. The ending was terrible and nothing really made sense. The relationship between Charles and Magento was by far the best part of the film for me and the forest scene was the best and most memorable scene of the film.

[@davidn.3017]

Compare to Civil War, OF COURSE!!! no DUH!! compare to Batman v Superman, still a much much better movie.

[@jillvlantine]

+KC Nwaneri ok dc fanboy

[@TrueSankofa7]

Moreso than Oliva Munn?

[@slyaspie4934]

Yeah and the special effects were terrible though out the whole film, which seems to always be the case with FOX

[@jillvlantine]

KC Nwaneri no that means you have good taste

[@No8Named8Shadow]

I hate that the normal reaction to comic creativity is death threats. This happened with Spider-man and now with Cap. Among others. Death Threats are not the way!

[@theresamonroe1651]

Fucking keyboard courage embarrassing

[@kingpin22s]

the internet shed light on many closet assassins it seems.

[@DanteSolablood]

My favourite Richard E Grant role was the 9th Doctor, there was a series of animated shorts in-which Grant was officially the 9th Doctor & the Master was his companion. :P

[@joelhenry5489]

The over-reaction to Captain America almost makes me wish the Internet didn't exist. This is really last days of Rome going on right now.

[@theresamonroe1651]

It's fucking sad the level of entitlement is sickening

[@coolboysagar14]

its a cheap story by marvel for only shock value bcz they knew dc rebirth was going to be better and they have run out of stories for cap so #FuckMarvel

[@losangyolmo19]

ah i see a DC fanboy mad cause Marvel stole their thunder.

[@coolboysagar14]

Yeah Rit!

[@chatroomgoon4975]

It was a dumb comic issue anyway.. idk why anyone gave it any attention tbh

[@INFORSER666]

I think Red Skull implanted false memories in Cap during Avengers Standoff event. There was this one scene where Red Skull defended Cap and it was weirdly out of place, like a setup for something. And the girl in flashbacks is rocking a lot of red.

[@amfpdiddy]

Ryan Reynolds admitted that if it wasn't for Blade 3 , he would have never have became Deadpool. Thank you for Hannibal King

[@t.c.soares2254]

I really love it when Schnepp is hosting! Informative and funny at the same time! He has a genuine enthusiasm that comes across great!

[@SerenityValley84]

I think this whole Captain America thing stems from the misuse of the cosmic cube.

[@StreeTHiPHoP131]

Robert Meyer Burnett kills every episode adding comic insight and explaining all of his thoughts in such a concise manner. Keep up the good work buddy

[@RebeccaHindle]

no idea why people disliked it I thought it was awesome I can't see anything wrong with it I left and wanted to see it again

[@luanpenna]

The problem is: First Class and Days of Future Past were great, Apocalypse is just good.

[@RebeccaHindle]

+Chuck Finley I can't see anything wrong with it I grew up with X Men always loved it watched all the cartoons read some of the comics glad I watch beyond the trailer she loves it as much as me. everything I ever wanted but then that's me. suppose it's personal preference

[@johnvanderhoef]

"There has never been a time in history when self-righteous anger wasn't popular." Well said, Amy.

[@DaBlizStation]

Amy has no idea how cute she is... no idea.

[@DeadlyRythmnStudio]

That makes her even more cute i think

[@jcdemp7513]

+Slim413rd Woo Woo Woo watch your mouth man! It's adorable, not adorkable.

[@Static1583]

she's so petite she makes that coffee look HUGE. I cant tell if its a trenta or venti.

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

I'm not even half way through this episode, but DAMN. This is one of the better episodes y'all have ever done. The points. The content. The enthusiasm, and Camera's smug control.... friggin love today. Thank you. FYI:. Miss ya , Campea. Thanks for popping in . Y'all are all just on fire tonight.

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

Campea....not camera.

[@joelhenry5489]

I'm beginning to suspect Campea has seen Suicide Squad already. This gives me great comfort because he is very enthusiastic about it.

[@chatroomgoon4975]

+samwellard7 like your mother right?

[@mikekennedy172]

My favorite xmen movie..... As a 90s kid & somebody who loved the animated series, this movie felt like it was designed for me. I loved it.

[@215Revan]

worst lex ever. could u imagine if they went with Bryan Cranston. Holy shit. would have been amazing

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

How? If it was Cranston, that wouldn't have changed the script. It would have been exact same lines, the exact same actions, doing the exact same things, the (almost) exact same way Snyder would have wanted it performed.

[@215Revan]

+ColliderVideos I disagree. wouldn't have looked as childish or come of as playful. the same lines can be delivered much differently by talented people. I thought Cavill's lines stunk but he did them well. And to the batman person, affleck nailed and he was the one I thought would ruin the movie for me. all that being said I liked the movie. they just crammed to much shit into it and the Martha thing was ridiculous as was jesse eisenburg or however u spell it. Maybe it's cause I'm 37 and saw gene Hackman do it brilliantly I'm bias. just my opinion. I could be totally wrong. they hired the kid for a reason. just was a little to riddlery for me

[@marc-alexandreplouffe505]

Love Cranston but he could of played a Spacey's Lex / same type. They went for a different Lex, I think its less the actor and more the type of Lex that is bothering people. My 10c.

[@215Revan]

+Marc-Alexandre Plouffe I could buy that

[@215Revan]

+Marc-Alexandre Plouffe I could buy that

[@joe2199]

It is rare and far between...but I always smile when someone brings up "Fritz The Cat" haha

[@ZappaBlues]

I just want a really good Superman movie.

[@TheWeepingDalek]

superman 1978

[@TheWeepingDalek]

erosion271 the 1978 film is a masterpiece.

[@joelhenry5489]

It manages to skirt the line between cheese and brilliance. It's smarter than about 95% of the hero movies made today, especially the dialogue.

[@jonvthvnx5729]

+Slim413rd Yes. Man of steel is insanely slept on. Imo it is the best superman movie we've ever gotten.

[@transfiguration8865]

It would be easier to make a good Superman movie, if you Supes fans weren't so goddamn picky. I think you guys are the pickiest fans of any comic book character.

[@Cullenprime]

Apocalypse needed the Horsemen to protect him while he was transferring himself to Professor X because when he is doing that he is vulnerable.

[@nemqueteba21]

Amy is my nerd crush!!! great show guys!!!

[@perrytanner9762]

Ditto

[@AaronMosmeyer]

I've been seeing a lot of people question why Apocalypse needs horsemen. (Possible spoilers) I think one major reason, as we see in the films, is to protect him during his body transfers. Possibly the biggest reason is, because as he said to Xavier, he cannot be everywhere at once. So he basically uses them as enforcers of his will where he cannot physically be present. As for his motives, they are the same as they are with the comic version of him: survival of the fittest.

[@dudeiscray0362]

X-Men: Apocalypse is awesome. Can't wait for the next X-Men movie

[@MadBeastTitan]

Shnepp is hilarious! Got'em with the "it doesn't matter what you think "

[@LAnimeMaster]

"There has never been a time in human history where self righteous anger wasn't popular." Best line of the video.

[@professorm4171]

I saw an interview with the girl who played Jubilee on IGN. She said she didn't know what to expect because the script was always changing. It's probably why the movie is unorganized.

[@JoeBossRedSeven]

Dammit we need Amy Girl on EVERY Show!!!

[@jrandres3417]

shes an amazing host that simple

[@nintendogamer2419]

I agree she is awesome.

[@kick200]

Completly agreed. The show wouldnt be the same without her.

[@kick200]

Completly agreed. The show wouldnt be the same without her.

[@HoneyPiss]

Agree.

[@huamulan9279]

52:31 *LOL* 👹 James Cameron's floating head shouting, _"Robert, stop what you're doing! This looks dumb!"_ 😂😂😂

[@joe2199]

I like the part where John named a bunch of different bags of shit. hahaha

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

I'm so hangin' quarters of the screen right now! SCHNEPP! DO THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE!!!

[@putridsunrise192]

I really liked Apocalypse, It's not perfect but it's nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. A lot of unfair nitpicking and bandwagoning. And yes I thought the Quicksilver scene was better then the DOFP one (which was also awesome). I do think they wasted Apocalypse and didn't even seed the idea of aliens which they had the perfect opportunity to do with Apocalypse's alien armor (or lack thereof) which can lead into the Phoenix.

[@Odd1x]

When he hits him with the "It doesnt matter" hahaha!

[@ramongarza4991]

+Amy Dallen Nice Doom shirt!

[@jarbothehutt7027]

Seriously!

[@TheHbfnk420]

The naked volleyball joke just made me laugh out loud and everyone in my office was like: "what the fuck?"

[@alexwolfe1994]

I feel like Robert may have a bias lol

[@unlobo6330]

The Canadian comes out of Campea when he says Odin haha

[@TheCalvinProblen]

"I like Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor" And yet Campea is still seen as a comic nerd. I don't get it.

[@isakwolff5491]

Superman Birthright Lex is what Jesses Lex Luthor is based of

[@chatroomgoon4975]

You must not read comics.

[@ryanjessup433]

He might say slightly negative things here and there about DC movies, but he will never say that any of them are bad movies it's just how he is like a lot of fans out there. Same thing goes with Luthor, "I didn't like the Lex and batman prison scene, I also don't hate Lex."

[@TheCalvinProblen]

Chatroom Goon I have a weekly comic pick-up of between £20-30 ( like $30-45) a week at my local comic store, and you look entirely too old to be using such a cliché diss, against a stranger on the internet.

[@TheCalvinProblen]

Despite it sharing a similarity to the aforementioned title, that depiction of Lex was quite clearly dislike by the wide percentage of comic fans and movie goers. Sometime being too apologetic for your favourite things, doesn't make them better in the long run. Kind of thankful I'm on the side of near enough the whole panel, rather than the Fant4stic trailer apologist lol.

[@BadmashFactory]

There's another one with Stan Lee saying "Hail DC" and every Marvel superhero going nuts, even DC superheroes! LOL!

[@nobleskywalker4639]

you wanna know why x men failed NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD MOVIE TICKETS SO MUCH seriously when you consider normal working people they cant be spending money every 2 weekends to watch a superhero movie its that simple

[@therealoptimusprime5249]

Don't know about "that simple", but it's 100% a contributing factor. I spent my extra coin on taking myself wife and son to go see Civil War. The only reason i got to see Apocalypse is because a friend took me for my birthday present from him. Otherwise would have had to wait until midmonth, if not until July.

[@AK-up2pv]

True so many big movies come out every week now because they want a summer spot like shit there are four seasons spread yourselves out

[@MoonLoner07305]

Especially when the average price for a movie ticket is $13 - $16 like it is here in New York. I didn't see the film this weekend because I was broke. I'll probably see it next weekend.

[@izodblackcrime]

Thank God My movie theatre has 5 dollars tuesday for every movie. If not I'd be broke

[@ttandc]

Agree 100%. I have lost count of the amount of times someone here on youtube has called me a hater ( or worse ) because I dare to say I'm not going to see a movie. I don't have 8 hours to spare to get to the nearest Cinema every time a movie comes out. And the $70+ I have to spend to get there is not overflowing out of my pockets. I know not every country is like mine but we have free TV over here that will show all movies eventually. If I miss it at the cinemas then I'll just watch it on TV if I am still interested.

[@phoenixtjg60]

The thing with x men is that it came out at the wrong time and the marketing was not as impressive as the other superhero movies. Plus it didn't have the mass appeal that the past 3 superhero movies did. Deadpool had the best marketing ever. Batman and Superman are in the same movie which was super hyped up. Then Civil War aka Avengers 2.5 ft spiderman. X men just couldn't measure up. The appeal wasnt there and the trailers didn't have that spark that the other 3 movies had. So thats why x men had a weak box office

[@AK-up2pv]

#givemarveltofoxsowecanseeseriousmovies

[@MrBKainX]

It was a really bad film, and box office wise it is a dissapointment, likely making less than DOFP a or Deadpool. Still a profit though.

[@movieheronetwork]

John Campea, you are killing me! I am DYING laughing! Heroes moving to NBC! Collider Nightmares is Schnepp and Campea playing naked volleyball! 😁😂😂😂😄

[@FarisFauzi14]

Apocalypse is too big of a character to fit into just one movie..I would prefer if they just trap him..and use it again in the future for a proper Age of Apocalypse.

[@mscooldeadly]

agreed

[@joelhenry5489]

Definitely. It was too much to do in one movie, especially with all the new characters they had to introduce.

[@aarontrainor9918]

this should've been two parts how Infinity War will be

[@aarontrainor9918]

+B-dawg8504 I meant Justice League

[@aarontrainor9918]

Mason Darkly Matthew Vaughn,Joss Weadon,or David Fincher can take his place

[@nahianzj]

Captain America has gone to such a level that me being a Bangladeshi will follow him blindly because of what he represents, the hail hydra part was a sword through the heart.

[@Batskillz82]

Hate to say this but James lent his name to that new terminator movie

[@Bannyguy]

he totally did, its true

[@rigsby1454]

he endorsed 3 as well I think. They must have just chucked a load at him. Difference here though is he's been wanting to make this for a while

[@niamh5832]

How could they not talk about them killing off Angel in Apocalypse, I mean he's one of my favourite characters and he's played by Ben Hardy from Eastenders

[@julianclanton6603]

I really like apocolypse it has problems but overal i thought it was good. A strong 7.6/10

[@AK-up2pv]

#givemarveltofox #givestarwarsbacktofox

[@chunkymunk3y]

I agree. The things I liked about the movie surpass things i didn't and it was an enjoyable movie.

[@julianclanton6603]

Gabriel Palacios exactly its a step down from dofp but it wasnt a f4 or even a bvs

[@chunkymunk3y]

definitely not f4 bad

[@TJTetz]

+Gabriel Palacios not even X3 bad

[@richardwestsanchezallen6148]

Captain Hydra the trying to make Lex Luthor into the Joker crazy times

[@vkdeen7570]

It's weird the middle ground on critics reviews is getting lost. I don't know if it's because of the outrage culture or social media bandwagons but it's getting crazy. A film nowadays is either amazing or garbage ...There's no grey area at all... its stupid. x-men apoc is is a good film with problems. its not awful and it's not as good all as x-2 or dofp. maybe a 65-75% (6.5-7.5/10). If u watch it u'll enjoy it...so watch it.

[@AK-up2pv]

It's because there are so many generic superhero films.

[@nintendogamer2419]

At least they didn't ruin any characters like X-3 and make it that bad.

[@ca20mn]

Well I don't know what you mean you said it was alright and it has an alright score and you have it an alright score so I am confused You are hating on reviews yet agreeing with them??

[@vkdeen7570]

ca20mn it has an alright score here but look at thr majority of 'critic' reviews online or in need papers n u'll see what I mean

[@nintendogamer2419]

Vk Deen It's a mix between people half liked it and half didn't like it just like BVS.

[@tomoliver6095]

People who send death threats over a comic book need to get a life.

[@somesinger1575]

Loved X-Men! Please kill Mystique . . .her character's relevance hinges on the actor's fame. She had many cringe worthy moments and perhaps the worst speech in cinematic history at the end :( I like Jennifer, but this performance hurt.

[@davidsirmons]

Wait. Alpha Flight? What? What really happened to Guardian??? : | I stopped reading/collecting it at issue 12 by Byrne, when Guardian 'died'. More info, please.

[@panamanianbloodline7585]

Xmen was a let down. It didn't brake any new ground. Apocalypse was a week villian. The 4 horsemen was week. Bad script. No Character development in the character. I'm sorry Im not feeling Jennifer Lawerance as Mystic and the leader of the X-men. I get it DOFP changed everything I'm still not feeling it.

[@panamanianbloodline7585]

Dude did watch watch the movie. EXAMPLE : opening scene Apocalypse tranfering his consciousness to anothe mutant, Egyptians tried to kill him 4 hoursemen tried to protected him which led to the temple being destroyed and him being buried. Next scene Jennifer Lawerance (aka Catnis ) Help nightcrawler escape the cage fight scene with angel.

[@panamanianbloodline7585]

XmenMagnetoAcolytes you realize you look stupid getting mad at my opinion over a movie. While your entiled to your opinion if you disagree with mine how about you get out of your famine emotional panties and have a conversation like a grown up

[@panamanianbloodline7585]

+Cory Weston you realize you sound like an idiot get upset over my opinion of the movie. You realize its a movie not real life not facts.

[@tysoon3000]

If X-men apo cant even beat The mermaid at the box office, Fox must return full rights to Marvel immediately.

[@franciscomatallana8676]

Henry Cavill 4 Bond

[@fobudomh]

I agree . Atleast he is on my top 3 list along with Idris Elba if they want to do a Bond persona as Daniel Craig . Otherwise if they want to go old school than Tom Huddleston .

[@VitaminStudios]

James Cameron on CAMERA endorsed Terminator: Genisys which equalled: bag of shit lol

[@panamanianbloodline7585]

they made 65mil domestic. that is not good for the franchise and 101 mil global. Its not doing doing well as a franchise movie. I get it you like and I don't. But box offers shows allot peoole isn't feeling it and word of mouth and divided feeling shows why it didn't make it's mark.

[@aarontrainor9918]

who cares,Fox is Keeping X-Men Anyways just Bring Back Matthew Vaughn

[@jillvlantine]

+Aaron Trainor yeah

[@Spartan_83]

it has made over 250 mil world wide.

[@jcoriha]

So condense The Invisibles into a film focusing on Jack Frost's arc? Didn't the Wachowskis do that already?...

[@vincentnguyen1995]

Is it wrong that I see the Comedian as the embodiment of American values and ideals?

[@keenanmcxarty5641]

I would say he's not, but you can view him as a perversion or realist take on those ideals and values.

[@870124ch]

+Keenan McXarty Yeah he's what humanity is, a sick joke

[@jllovit]

Peter Dinklage in a Howard the Duck role... how would that not be a good remake now?

[@Y2JercichOJO]

Someone just told me today that X-Men Apocalypse is better than Captain America Civil War...... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

[@dominicjesus96]

I haven't seen the film yet so can't really say but I've also heard this comment and it makes me laugh. the trailers (all three) still didn't get me hyped for this film.

[@VMG3001]

Did they give any reasonable reasons?

[@Y2JercichOJO]

+Dom Anthony Jesus I know the marketing, like Campea said, wasn't that good compared to others like Civil War and I think that's why this was low on my most anticipated comic book movies of the year list

[@Y2JercichOJO]

+VMG3001 they said that it was better executed, it was ''wavey'' loool. They also said they found Cap corney and Spider-Man was asking too many questions.

[@Y2JercichOJO]

+Dont Worry looool Civil War, for me, is the greatest comic book movie of all time along with Dark Knight (maybe Winter Soldier as well). Don't get me wrong I liked Apocalypse but Civil War is on a different level.

[@Neverbetred]

I have come to enjoy Collider and Screen Junkies alot. Excellent work.

[@Brook11223]

Erik Lehnsherr's storyline in the film was my favorite period. I think seeing him trying to lead a normal life with his wife and daughter was just beautiful and at the same time seeing his past coming back to haunt him was just tough. He wanted to put his past behind but just couldn't seem to escape it and going through the loss of losing his family was just painful. Fassbender really nails it perfectly.

[@nwo2cool]

The problem with X-men Apocalypse is that it's the same old shit that didn't delivered anything original and special. It's all been done before. The Wolverine/Stryker scene was out of place that didn't need to be there. I didn't like how they put JL Mystique in a leadership role. This ain't Hunger Games Mockingjay. Apocalypse wasn't a compelling villain. There's too many plot holes. Most of all, all the characters who introduced from First Class and DOFP are supposed to look old, but they still looked the same, ageless.

[@johnnybone86]

finally someone, Schnepp, explains how comics work with the twist from Captain America!!!

[@francescadipisa667]

Loved the discussion about Cap. Everything that I thought stated and more. Love everyone on the panel!

[@chazertronfivethousand4425]

Thanks, Amy! You brought the balancing thoughts to the discussion about Cap's twist. Just because I don't like the "1st" twist doesn't mean I've never read a comic book. The only thing that was of worth of discussion is the death threats. It needs to end. It's awful. That people feel so entitled that they'd threaten to kill someone over a fictional character/story is just beyond understanding.

[@xboxallin2953]

Great to have John on these podcast. He hit the nail on the head with Captain America. Comic book culture is now pop culture and pop culture has gone mainstream. It's a big tent now so of course people will have a huge reaction to something like Captain America saying "hail hydra".

[@Tware8100]

If Amy can't be on as much, they should give her a solo show. I would watch every minuet if she was the only one on camera. She is so captivating and awesome.

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

Lol! That description of Xmen was hilarious. Thank you.

[@alexmathayes1]

Apocalypse is a great movie, i fell asleep half way through

[@jaredwaters4633]

I'm not sure what John is talking about. Fox as a studio has been very hit or miss on the comic franchises. He seems to be forgetting the Wolverine. Which was average at best. Fox has a big problem with consistency. Xmen- good, X2- Great, X3- average/bad, Wolverine Origins- Bad, First Class- good, Wolverine- Average/Bad, XMen DOFP- great, Fant4stic Four- Terrible, Deadpool- Great, X-Men Apocalypse- average/bad. That's 5 good/great films and 5- average/bad films. And this is reflective of their box office success. Fox is easily the worst performing studio at the box office for these comic movies. With just 3 films breaking 500M worldwide. Infact X-Men Apocalypse will struggle to beat even ANT-MAN's worldwide take of 519M. Let that sink in, a upstart Ant-Man will challenge the final chapter in a solid trilogy. Apocalyse -domestically speaking- will NOT even make what BvS pulled in opening weekend (166M) it currently stands at 147M domestic.

[@miglarmar]

I wanted to see if they talked about Rebirth and they barely mentioned it. Such a shame. One of the best DC comics in years.

[@newyork-lj6xh]

campea always keeps it real. bro you are really honest. I respect you so much.

[@gcemjie69]

I genuninely look forward to this show every week. Tuesday was a great podcast day - now I guess Wednesday is gonna be a great day from now on. Thanks for all the wonderful ear-phone that you provide while I work at the office. :) BTW - didn't James Cameron sponsor Genysis? He said that the movie was good in an interview...that movie didn't do too well..

[@alexcosta2614]

The Rock description of Doc Savage matches perfectly Sheldon Cooper's personality

[@cdfreester]

Marvel published some Doc Savage comics and magazines in the 1970's. I think pulp had a renaissance in the 1970's with republishing those original stories in paperbacks with new art, comic books, etc.

[@jayplunks]

I just want to see THIS Cyclops, THIS, Jean Grey, THIS STORM. This was a great set forward. Guys not ALL superhero movies have to follow what Marvel studios does

[@JeremyWilliamson]

Looking back after ALL the #Apocalypse talk... how about that LOGAN film?!!? lol I wonder what they'll do with the X-men franchise now?!! Has anyone heard anything yet?

Still nothing. Feige gave it a few more years until effectuation, but anything is possible.

"Which was the last time that Cameron out his name on shit"...well he didn't put his name on it but the interview about Terminator Genysis, the favourite Schnepp film, says other thing.

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

Wonderful show. Thanks and appreciation to the panel. Gnite.

[@brock985]

Always love seeing this in my feed.

[@UNDERTHESUN783]

just watched BvS a second time, and it was even better. Editing still poor of course, but I noticed even more thematic moments. Like the sound when Batman scenes are cut is the World Engine sound (I believe). Even the manic traits of Lex I didn't notice because I was more in tune with just how twisted he is, this Bluray cut may be a master piece (I hope)

I loved Apocalypse. My 3rd favorite X-men movie after Days of Future Past and X2.

[@christian8657]

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

Ms. Dallen, you have been much more vocal and killin' it today. Y'all make me actually want to visit the Burbank area.

X-Men: Apocalypse was not bad but it was disappointing. After Days of Future Past, I had HIGH hopes for Apocalypse but it let me down. It started off good in the past with Apocalypse and the new X-Men were all dope but they were all not used that much. Charles Xavier was good and Magneto was great as usual but everyone else was meh. Mystique was alright but I never liked her as a good guy (always thought that was stupid) Beast was whatever and the new X-Men didn't have enought time to shine(Jubilee did NOTHING) Apocalypse was wasted and his Horsemen were weak as fuck! They went out like they never got their powers enhanced. However, it is worth seeing just for the Quicksilver scenes and Magneto in the forest.

at 32:00, i thought Amy was going to say "Captain America never REALLY came back after getting shot in Civil War."

[@batistaandreymyst]

AHH WHEN SCHNEPP SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK LMFAO

[@amadeusblack]

So, when is Robert Meyer Burnett getting his own Collider Trek Talk show? This needs to happen! He is such a joy to listen to. Of course Amy, Campea and Schnepp are super awesome, as well as the whole Heroes show, but Robert talking Star Trek is where it's at!

in a bigger scheme it will be revealed that cap needed to pose as hydra-agent to infiltrate and do greater good.

[@horsebrusher]

"didn't give human torch a bank loan." (anchorman) "i understood that reference" (captain) :P

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

God damnit, Robert.... almost finished the night with no toy doll reference.

[@870124ch]

I see two hours of Heroes, I instantly sweat the like button

[@TrueSankofa7]

nice to know I"m not the only that thought Eisenberg's Lex was good. The same goes for Duncan's Kingpin in the director's cut of Daredevil. The best thing about Lex in BVS is you DO NOT LIKE HIM. There is nothing cool about him, when Doomsday is about to take him out and Superman stops him is a classic moment where you are so pissed at Superman's boy scout antics, saving someone who almost had his mother killed.

[@DBuckyBoy]

YES!!! Ultraviolet!!!! I LOVED that series. SOOOOO glad someone has finally mentioned it cos nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I do lol
