Anyone else rooting HARD for Comcast?

Read this bullshit pack of lies if you want to laugh until you've soiled your pants. 
Scott is not just "a leader." He is THEE FIELD LEADER of the X-Men. He ---and no other --- was hand picked by Xavier to personally execute his vision of peace and harmony between mutants and humankind. Xavier is the supreme leader and moral center of the group while Scott is the tactical commander of the battle group.

The relationship between the two is akin to father and son. Scott trains the X-Men in team-based combat techniques that he invented. The witless shadow that is his counterpart in the movies is the third wheel in a dull and clichéd love triangle. He is the X in a sexless equation. He has no credible chemistry with Jean Grey whatsoever.

The Movies, Cartoons and whatever other adaptations you may worship are all beholden to the source material. If you've never read the source material - you don't know what you're talking about and you should choose silence as your primary means of self-expression.

But that's not what FoX-men fans want.  They'd rather the movies stay the same than get egg on their face for saying that you can't do the X-men like the comics for years.  They keep bringing up comic panels of something they took from the comics, but still not seeing that the movie makers took the fantasy out of it.  "More grounded!"  People really don't want the X-men in the "real world." 

Nah.  Cause they can't get the characters right.

I’m blocking you moron. You are too stupid for words. Goodbye.

lol at Fox getting the "tone" of the X-men right. TWS, CW, Thor and BP's tones would have fit the X-men far better than what we got with the fox movies.

The world building environment that the movie is played out in is the tone. And this is split into several factors that permeate the movie. Its really simple, Xmen movies take their world seriously, MCU movies DONT. And this is where the movies align with the comics, as Xmen from the Claremont era was essentially set in the real world to mirror the bigotry and various forms of prejudice. That is the base for every Xmen comic, even for the more fantastical stories. To recreate that, there are multiple things that Xmen movies do in general that MCU dont.

Villains are given respect and allowed to exhibit their philosophies, they arent relegated to talking heads or the butt end of jokes, they are intellectual opposites of heros and their interactions give significant more insight into the opposing view:





An example of how the scene from X2 is superior directing to Ragnarok. Both scenes the heros are meeting their villains for the first time. Within 30 seconds, Hela appears and the action begins. No clever, interesting dialogue. No suspenseful buildup or intriguing character mystery. No tension or the sense of slow dread. Everything which IS present in that first exchange between Stryker and Wolverine and lasts a lot longer without even the need for action. This is what MCU movies are, in a rush to get to the explosions, CGI action with accosmatary punchlines.

The action is more artistic and tells a story rather than by the numbers, in-your-face CGI fix.





Again 2 scene that are similar 1 on 1 duels. Look how superior and more intense the fight is between Shingen and Logan. The way Mangold sets up the direction, the fight choreography, the background sound of harsh rain, the eerie music with No CGI necessary. In comparison the Ragnarok fight is bland, with simplistic dialogue, unmemorable music and minimal tension.




Both scenes involving the climax of killer robots. Yet DOFP blows Age of Ultron out of the water. Lame hide the Zuchinni jokes, bland chroergaphy of CGI punching bags in Ultron clones, no intensity, no stakes and no weight to the whole action scene. No substance. DOFP clip takes care to show the action is relevant to the themes the whole film is trying to explore, that it feels like there are stakes and gravitas to the whole situation.

MCU movies dont take care with setup before actions scenes or during them. They just want to rush into them at 100mph.


The charatcer arcs are taken seriously and are unafraid of delving deeper into darker paths.





Starks PTSD (after having alcohol problems cut) is presented very weak and trivially when compared to either Logan or Professor X. Both Xfilms arent afraid to really convey the true depths of despair both heros are currently in. Starks just feels meh, because Disney are holding back, they dont want to show him hitting real rock bottom.

I was going to post more examples but sleep has beaten me and Im sure you get the trend. None of those Xmen scenes would make it into a Disney MCU film. The go to home point is that Disney just FEELS more watered down and diluted, as if they are primarily aimed at kids. They feel too clean, too safe and risk averse in their thematic presentation. Theres not much affliction for artistry or cinematic depth. I will leave with a scene that does provide it and wish the MCU did more and that is the conclusion to Winter Soldier:



Story telling through action. Emotionally charged well written dialogue. Sweetly infused musical score. Well paced and tonally perfect. Too bad this is a rarity in the box office juggernaut, the mighty MCU.

I apologize in advance but, I was unable to read through more than half of your stilted prose before having to give up for fear that I might be damaging myself in some way. The gulf between what you know and what you think you know is vast. Factual inaccuracies aside, your hatred of all things MCU has prevented you from even addressing my question directly. If you need to compare the MCU to the XMU to establish the superiority of the latter, you've failed.
That statement is incomprehensible nonsense. You've conflated world building, the act of creating a believable and internally consistent world, with the mood and atmosphere of a film. One may contribute to the other; however, they are surely not synonymous. A first-year undergraduate film student or entry-level text on the subject can provide further clarification for you.
What are these factors? Why have you not elucidated them? I took you for anything but being lazy. Instead of doing your due diligence, you lapse into yet another muddled comparison between the MCU and the XMU. Is this the only way that the worth of the XMU can be proven? Could your hesitation to discuss the XMU on its own merits be because of it's glaring inconsistencies, one-note characterizations and profoundly flawed interpretation of the source material? Hmmm, let's delve deeper.
Statements like this often act as the refuge of the casual X-Men reader or those who seek to exalt some political or social agenda by using the X-Men as the quintessential example of how to approach societal criticism in science fiction and fantasy. They're quick to point out Claremont and his use of allegory, metaphor and social commentary as the essential traits of the X-Men. And, while there is no denying that his work was influential, there are several other writers of note who have contributed to the continuing evolution of the Children of The Atom. We do owe Claremont an enormous debt; but, it's not one we have to repay to him by rehashing his themes ad infinitum in the cinematic medium.

If you were willing to look beyond the quotable and often parroted virtues of Claremont's work, you'd find that he was writing a complex and engaging melodrama about people. And he didn't sacrifice the portrayal of these people as unique and complex beings for the sake of turning them into generic stand-ins for all minorities as the XMU is so keen to do. Furthermore, the X-Men of the twenty-first century have long since moved beyond the politics that made them famous in the popular culture. They are now in complete possession of themselves, and they recognize themselves for what they are. The X-Men are gods who walk among men. The decision to interfere in their lives no longer evokes "a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to that school... looking for trouble." It invites new, transcendental understanding.  

Your feeble insistence that galaxy-spanning adventures that placed the X-Men at the center of interstellar conflicts between multiple galactic powers were somehow "essentially set in the real world to mirror the bigotry and various forms of prejudice" is a towering monument to your ignorance. The X-Men did not travel from world to world and save the universe time and time again because they were feared and hated or in spite of being feared and hated. They are not such reactionary creatures. They did it because, when the opportunity arose, they were the only ones who could. Do you honestly believe that all Claremont ever wrote about in his seventeen-year tenure on the title were stories about bigotry and hatred?

Were you not there as Danielle Moonstar and Kitty Pride went through their respective rites of passage and came of age as powerful young women? Did you miss Ororo Munroe falling in love with the same man who was responsible for taking away the one thing that defined her? Did you sleep through Havok and Wolverine discovering they had more in common than not, bonding on a road trip and thwarting a cold-war era relic's plan for world domination? Where you on sabbatical when James Howlett finally paid the psychological toll for years of killing?

You are a dilettante, a dabbler, and an amateur. I watched you for years sauntering into my local comic book store thumbing through the trades with your greasy hands and drooling over the pretty pictures. You look, but you don't see. You read but, you don't comprehend. You chat breezily with the staff as they politely direct you to the "essentials," and when all is said and done, you walk out empty handed and unchanged. Never place yourself on the same level with me as a member of the Marvel fandom.
