How is DOFP overrated.Compared to which movie? I didn't even love DOFP as much as I did until I saw a worse execution of time travel with another marvel movie called Endgame, that missed more opportunities even for MCU usual immature standards.
Mystique's ending was not a shock ending, if you have watched many time travel movie or many twisted movies you would expect that type of ending. The director doesn't want to make it easy, especially when its time travel. There could still be consequences for violating nature like reserving time, that was the point of the ending. That is smarter to how simple and preditcbale Endgame used time travel.
You are right that DOFP messed up the continuity but as a stand alone movie that was supposed to be the ending to the prequels, it was a pure gold. Logan was a breathtaking send off to the main character of the series.
You can like whichever film you want (DOFP is fine, just overrated and too many missed opportunities in my opinion), but Singer himself was quoted as saying that the twist ending in DOFP was added late in the game when the film was nearing completion. He justified it's inclusion later, but really had no grand design when it was initially put in the film.
What does any of this have to do with Endgame or the MCU? Summers8? Is that you?
I don't even know who summers8 but I am dying to find out. Endgame and DOFP are too alike and they are marvel movies. Let me guess, you love MCU movies and can't tolerate a movie that did the same concept better. If DOFP is overrated what is Endgame and other poorly drawn out time travel films to it?
Frankly I could care less what Singer said, maybe it was a happy accident but it worked as a more interesting time travel movie. The shock ending as you call it can be found in another movie masterminded by one of my favorite directors. Inception by Chris Nolan. I was in the wrong. I should never had compared DOFP or Inception to an immature simplistic written MCU movie. This was about Logan and DOFP, it almost symbolic as this is where X-Men really ends.
