What you want in a new XMEN film series?

Yes, I'm sure that's the story they're pushing to let Cruise save some face.

No, actually, Loki hasn't. If he were given the same screentime as Magneto, he'd be in nearly every MCU film as a main character. As it is, he's been regulated to stories concerning Thor. No, Magneto has had more screentime. That character has been in all six of the main X-Men films so far.

The last two movies had Magneto more prominent than Loki.

Ah, Bizarro. Been wondering where you were.

Ah, costumes/big world threats/real shows of power/Magneto not being the only villain.

Everything X-Movies should be.

this is not weird. this is a picture with school uniforms. its not different from star trek that wear different colours to show what area they specialise in on the enterprise.

excessive colours and uniforms  are secondary and meaningless to a life action x-men movie. Lets assume x-men goes down this path, I see more of a star trek DS9 and  harry potter type of uniforms than actual c omic book colourful costumes that will removie x-men from the grounded world and tone of the movies.

For all those that were screaming about Logan not wearing his yellow costume, it  made little impact on the recent Logan movie.

some of you people need to wise up and understand that not everything you see in a comic book needs to be translated in a live action comic book movie. Apocalypse failed for many of those reasons.

I remembered how we were getting word before apocalypse was released that ...it was the most  singer ''comic book'' movie yet. it turned out to be his worst x-men movie.  a comic book movie is not defined in one particular or truthful way. I am sure this lesson was learned after Fox released Dreadpocalypse while  looking back at X-Men 2000, X-Men 2, First Class, DOFP,  TW,  and Logan.

"Grounded"...that word disgusts me in conjunction with X-Men.

That's not the part I was saying about accepting the weird.  I want the school to look like this:

I want it so that if you see something like this in an X-men movie you'd be okay with it and not think it was weird.  It's quite the opposite in X-men.  In the comics you'd have the majority of mutants with physical mutations.  They don't all look normal. 

And I'm not talking about about color showing their specialties with the school uniforms.  But the style of uniform would go with their powers.  A character like Colossus wouldn't wear the same uniform as Iceman or Cyclops.  Color of their uniform could be something like on that picture.  It would go with the class they are in or with their advisor.  And it is a school.  How can a school with uniforms not still be grounded?  Also, they are kids with powers.  Giving them costumes that won't melt away when they turn into acid or shred up when they stretch their body would be a good idea.

Didn't need it for Logan.  They showed it in the comic.

Apocalypse failed because they retread the same things from the other movies.  They came up with an excuse of time correcting itself and things will happen the same so they can be lazy about the story.  It didn't fail because he "went closer to the comics".  Something he didn't do.  He actually stayed in his normal black leather armor comfort zone.  I'm thinking it failed because Singer stayed in his normal sensibilities. 

Can you really say that anything prior to DoFP was a BO success?  Especially when they all made a fraction of what Spider-man made at the time.

a fair point but the truth is we have more mutants without physical mutations. I will say the ratio is about 75 to 25. if x-men does a morlock story arc maybe we can get more mutants with physical mutations. The films have used Beast, Nightcrawler and mystique though.

going to the aspect of uniforms and comparing it to star wars you have to realise that the jedis have only one uniform and dress the same way.
James Mangold gave the perfect response to the yellow costume problem.

''I always feel a certain contingent of fans who are yearning for it. But the biggest block I’ve had – I’m willing to take the heat for it – is that, I can never get past, being a writer for these movies as well, that Logan is the least narcissistic of all the superheroes, any kind I can think of – Marvel, DC or anywhere else. What I mean by that is, who puts a special branded outfit on when they do good deeds? And why? The only reason you do it is so you can have some sort of trademarked claim and get credit for what you did. Nothing seems less Wolverine-like than the desire to put on a trademarked outfit , particularly canary yellow, and kind of prance about doing good deeds and have people go, “Oh my God! It’s The Wolverine!” At least the Wolverine, as I see him, that’s a real struggle for me and always has been. I somehow feel that if somehow we ever put Hugh [Jackman] into one of those outfits, people would not be happy. Essentially, it’s something that lives on the page and I’m not sure could live anywhere else''.

This is what I said earlier. not everything you see in a page translates to the screen. My point was he did not wear the costume in the film. it is irrelevant if we saw it in the comics of the film.

Can you say the x-men movies were flops? Spiderman was always an anomaly, his movies did better because it appealed more to kids and was marketed 3x as much as the average x-men movie.

If you want to see how the sucess is measured look at the box office of DOFP and AMSM 2. Both films made over 700 million. one was a sucess, the other was a flop and had to make a deal with MCU. X-Men is not in the same category, making a deal with the MCU would be senseless and totally out of character for Fox because Fox enjoys all the sucess for every X-men movie and uses it to make more sequels and spin offs. Because a film makes more money than the other does not mean the other film was not a sucess.

Also to some of you saying that the X-Men films don't require you to think, maybe it's just because their goal is to be more visceral and fun with the silly comic book elements. I mean, they take the source material so seriously that they make it easy for everyone to care about a criminal like Magneto and his family... when we barely know them. That's awesome filmmaking. The MCU films are as cut and dry and as deep as TV movies. ZZzzzz. I'd rather these kind of movies play with and master my emotional responses while I'm watching them than give me boring, dry, unrelatable nonsense (because we've seen it all a billion times before).
