He claims he and many MCU fans saw New Mutants, which was delayed for next year. Originally it was suppose to come out last month but summers8 didn’t know that and thought it was released.
I think some fans in general conflate style and tone with storytelling far too much so now it forces people to pick a side in the wrong fight. That really irritates me.
Neither the XMEN movies or the DC films as a whole wound up becoming outpaced by the MCU simply because they took themselves seriously or chose a different style like a drama or a horror, etc. The bad ones were hampered by bad storytelling decisions and studio interference. Same as with any other film franchise.
I welcome variety to the superhero genre, that's what keeps it from getting stale. Whether it's broad comedy, action, horror, drama, whatever. Make it good. Remember that two year dead zone in the first superhero movie boom between 2006 and 2007 when most films that were released sucked or were mediocre? No matter what their tone or stylistic choices were. Superman Returns, XMEN: The Last Stand, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Spider Man 3, remember that?
Then in 2008, something amazing happened. We got Iron Man and The Dark Knight which were opposite ends of the spectrum and did just fine. People may have their preferences between the two but both were just great well made movies. I'll throw in Hellboy: The Golden Army as a third example that is content to be in the middle and it was part fantasy/horror on top of that!
Now let me make this topical, since we're on the XMEN board, I think New Mutants has a chance to be good. Venom, I don't expect it to be good since it's indistinguishable from any other standard Hollywood blockbuster if not for that logo at the end. It's not that superhero movies shouldn't take themselves seriously or not have fun, they just shouldn't suck at it.
When we say DC movies. we talk about the TDK trilogy, tim burton's batman, original Reeves superman movies and some underrated films or over hated films- Superman Returns, man of steel, batman vs superman extended version and watchmen.
New Mutants was the only film that showed any real artistic art of all the films in 2018. No surprise MCU fans hate it.
MCU does not have to take themselves seriously, that is not my problem just keep xmen away from that.
Meaning he had not interest in seeing New Mutants. So you guys should just put him on ignore.
