My favourite directors are John Carpenter, Takeshi Kitano, Hitchcock,Scorsese, Pressberger/Powell among others. I have shelves and boxes full of DVDs and blurays including most of the work or Keaton, Chaplin, Wenders, Fassbender, Kurosawa...if only I knew in advance that my preference for Endgame negated all these things, I could have saved a fortune in money and so much time.

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 Ha ha this is so far off that it boggles my mind. I think that DOFP is the best X-Men movie, but I guess I can see people liking X2 better. It is a great movie. However, to say that Apocalypse and Phoenix are better than DOFP is an absolute joke. There is no comparison.

I know that this is an unpopular opinion, but Endgame might be my favorite Megadeth album.

Personally, Avengers: Endgame. Not only do I prefer it, but I did not like Days of Future Past.
It's not a bad film. In fact, it's a pretty good one, I've been hot and cold on it and I've been cruel to it in the past, but it's a good film. I don't like it because I don't care for its adaptation of the source material. I think the 2 episodes of the animated series from the 90's did a better job with the story.
I also don't like it for what it did for the franchise. As a standalone movie, it does more than it does for a franchise that had grown stale. It had been revitalized against the odds with new crew, new cast and a new perspective with X-Men: First Class, and then reverted back to what made it stale in the first place. Is X-Men: First Class good? Perhaps, but more importantly, it was fresh and different. It was a step forward, and Days of Future Past went two steps backwards bringing back all the old characters, all the old actors, and even the old director. It really showed in X-Men: Apocalypse.
In my opinion. To each their own.
MCU fans prefer endgame, real fans of cinema go with DOFP.
MCU fans are still in all opinions. in the mcu world but cgi and formulaic story telling is just opinions, this will have never flown IN 1998-2008.
I am a pretty big MCU fan and DOFP is in my top three comic book films ever. Nice try though.
