They just care about money
No more thought provoking X-Men films with social commentary, because it bores the younger audiences.

Apocalypse especially seemed downright aimed at a younger audience.
The first 2 X-Men would fit right into the MCU more or less, and I'd point out those are still the best two films.

Apocalypse was violent and dark, even for a PG13 movie. There was plenty in it not suitable for kids. |

The X-Men films were always aimed at a younger audience, and they were never about serious social commentary. The "social commentary" was so rudimentary and simplistic, a four year old could have written it.

That's probably why the MCU films just go right over your head. |

Civil War was a gun control allegory and The Winter Soldier was anti-surveillance. I appreciated the XMEN movies' anti-discrimination message but at some point, I'd rather just see them visit the Savage Land or fight aliens.

"I'd rather see them go fight aliens" than say something meaningful to audiences about humanity. That's a typical MCU response. This mentality is what we have to look forward to.

And to you morons that don't get how and why the X-Men films are more mature, take a look at the numbers. More families went to see Civil War than Apocalypse. I was there. Women in the audience were almost appalled that an X-Men film would kill a mother and her daughter like that. Hell, you can see this childish backlash in the numbers for even more mature films like War for The Planet of The Apes and Logan. It's really sad. Audiences just want pretty colors and lights and a few cute one-liners. They're perfect for modern women and children.

I was there at my theater too for both films. Same type of people in both. We got similar reactions when we saw Bucky kill the Starks. Only in MCU's case it was done right, unlike X-Men. |

Yes, actually. You're just too easily pleased. That's probably why the MCU films just go right over your head. The X-Men films have all of the sophistication of a bad YA sci-fi novel. They're all so didactic and designed to be 101-style introductions to complex social problems. It is bad to be racist. Anger leads to hatred. Don't be afraid of people who are different than you... and other lessons of that ilk. Hee hee hee... |

I saw this moral so much it was a penny a dozen during my youth, and I'm sure kids today see it just as much. If the X-Men films really wanted to be as complex as their fans love to pretend they are, they'd actually study why the Mutants are feared and hated as they are instead of just portraying all the normal people as the bad guys. They need to Civil War it, where both sides have legitimate points and flaws. |

Some of the best X-Men villains are just straight-up sadists. I admired Shaw's sadistic streak in First Class but he was surrounded by weak-as-tap-water confederates. January Jones in particular was vomit inducing. |
