X-Men 2 is still better than most comic book movies in the last 5 years largely bc they valued the casting and, even with so many characters, feels like a film that doesn't exist just to set up other projects.

I mean they shafted Cyclops by what, actually giving him a personality? Sure they made him into kind of an arrogant douche but atleast he had something going for him. Cyclops in comics and the animated series was always the least interesting character because he existed often solely to be the stoic leader and act as a balance point and voice of reason for all the other characters. He was dull. I don't particularly like this version of Cyclops but atleast it was something.

[@rob_patrick1]

With this particular ability of professor X's, it got me hopeful that mutants has been in the mcu all along but he always wiped everyone's minds and freeze their minds like this, and another tech based mutants erase camera footages etc

[@wafflingmean4477]

That would actually be a semi-decent way of putting them in. The MCU has a problem where it keeps introducing crazy powerful factions that have supposedly been there the whole time and yet never had any impact on any of the previous story whatsoever. And since we the audience know it's because that faction genuinely did not exist before because they hadn't been written in, it's hard to suspend disbelief. But Xavier being constantly vigilant to erase knowledge of mutants would make a lot of sense. Especially since you wouldn't even need a tech based mutant to remove security footage. With Cerebro, Xavier could just have anyone possessing evidence of mutants destroy it. Camera footage, DNA samples, maybe a hospital blood test? Literally anything could just be destroyed and no one would ever know. Hell if Wanda or Vision were still in play perhaps either one of them detects the psychic waves sweeping across the planet (or for a more tech based option Vision detects Cerebro) and they investigate and that's the start of the MCU X-Men storyline.

[@Afdog]

@@wafflingmean4477 he could but why would he do that considering that mcu is full of meta humans and it’s not a big deal for everyone. It also a bit odd how they plan to raise xenophobia issues there, which is the main topic of almost ANY xmen plotline, while people weren’t xenophobic to the whole asgardian population living on earth, and now all of a sudden they become towards mutants? Anyway - I’m curious about what they’ll come up with

[@rob_patrick1]

@@Afdog yeah that's my main concern as well, one that I just know MCU writers is just gonna fuck up royally. I believe one of the ways to instill that fear and hate in people is to have the real civil war storyline unfold with a mutant blowing up the school, I think nuke was a mutant right? And that way people are not only anti supes but more anti of a mutant (i.e people who grew up with inherent abilities). And focus the hate on the mutant gene since they don't want these mutant genes to keep spreading through reproduction. And not all mutants want to be superheroes, they're just normal people who grew up with powers or mutation

[@Afdog]

@@rob_patrick1 that would’ve been still odd. Like if mutants were a thing - then why sups hid their identity in the first place? As it would’ve been quite common But yeah, I agree that they will probably fuck this up

Despite what people say I personally like Jean and Scott s relationship

[@lancer3412]

Maybe if the movies hadn't given Jean and Logan 5 times the screen time that Jean and Scott had, more people would feel the same way. I think this was a nice scene, but there wasn't enough of them. They did not have one conversation in the first movie while Jean and Logan had 3 or 4. I remember saying this in 2000. When they make Spider Man movie do you think they will do that with Peter and MJ? When they make the FF movie will they do that with Reed and Sue? When they make the Hulk movie will they do that with Bruce and Betty? Well, they made all those movies and damn straight they didn't do it.

[@TheDistantman]

There relationship is fine, but this movie showed a lot of problems that would reflect in the third movie. The first movie did a great job establishing Scott and James relationship, especially the tension between Scott and Logan. As much as I like this movie, my biggest problem is how they handled cyclops. He's only in the movie for like four scenes. Maybe five. And after the first two scenes he's in, you don't see him until the last 40 minutes of the movie and he's being mind controlled. It's just like what happened with the avengers when Hawkeye was only in the movie for like 20 minutes before the movie was over when he was not being mind controlled.

What an absolutely beautiful way to introduce the main conflict. We start the movie with an incredible action sequence using a beloved mutant with gorgeous prosthetics and practical effects and then we get to here where mutant children are trying to live a normal life. These seemingly small mutants with little impact to the world are presented with sensational and fabricated news that they are the world’s enemy. A literal attack on the white house orchestrated by a man so devoted to destroying mutant kind, he’d go so far as to use them to push his narrative. It’s so beautiful and hits so close to home.
