which marvel time travel hunting film does the film general fans prefer?
for me I went with dofp because it was more mature and did not look like a video games cgi fest.
this looks too kiddie for me, like a video game. scorsese is right. I see the theme park feel with mcu. DOFP is more grounded

I prefer X-Men: Days of Future Past. The time travel aspect feels more elegant and doesn't require bulky exposition or have a heavy dependence on the story. I enjoyed Endgame but one element I disliked was how they handled time travel. Too much emphasis goes into explaining and theorizing the mechanics of time jumping which takes up screentime. The best movies which adopt time travel keep it simple. In Terminator 1 and 2 for example, all you need to know is that terminators can travel back and forth in time and happens as shown. The rest of the movie is then solely focused on developing character and story progression without having to reference timetravel every 20 minutes (which is why Genysis sucks). As Endgame is 3 hours, there are too many instances throughout the movie where they keep bringing up time travel and the problems and solutions that go with it. I understand that many say it's a time heist movie so it should be expected but I was hoping for something more personal and intimate, which is where imo X-Men: Days of Future Past excels.

DOFP had plenty of CGI and felt no different than the theme park films that Martin Scorsese describes the MCU as.
I'd rank both around the same. Both really good but not the best of their franchises.

DoFP
I find it to be overrated, though.

Lol I love how you used to be a huge MCU fanboy but now you pretty much hate it because Brie Larson said something that hurt your feelings.

DOFP had plenty of CGI and felt no different than the theme park films that Martin Scorsese describes the MCU as. I'd rank both around the same. Both really good but not the best of their franchises. No it didn't. DOFP was far more grounded. the cgi was kept to minimum and did not go on for long. also when there was an action scenes there was story telling like magneto's speech. you felt the tension, drama and stakes. the cgi were practical effects meaning it looked less than theme parks. they were gritter too not fun to look at like endgame. .practical effects offers more realism. more importantly DOFP had a strong message of racism, politics, prejudice, heavy substance abuse issues and complex characters. DOFP is a drama with some cgi. its more like Hugo than endgame.
Ironically the director of DOFP once said everything scorsese said in year 2000, reason he made his xmen movies so different.
DOFP is not an MCU movie, no way Disney will allow that.

Haven't seen Endgame, but DOFP was the weakest of the X-Men prequels, a bloated mess that I haven't had much desire to rewatch
