No, the movies are bad and uninteresting. Pandemy is past, and theatres are open. People are tired to listen the same old jokes and one-liners, as well as having funny superheroes not being serious and being cartoonish.
No, no the pandemic isn't past and while some theaters are open, they're nowhere near to operating at full capacity. You also have the remember that these phase 4 MCU movies are not only contending against the pandemic but they've also been banned from the China market, the 2nd largest market after the US. Had X-Men Apocalypse opened today with the same challenges then it would probably struggle to even hit $200 million. Or the movies are bad, and people are tired of childish and juvenile superheroes. At the end of day, "Apocalypse" outgrossed them. That's what truly matters.

I'm just glad that "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016) - an epic and brilliant superhero movie - crossed the 500 million dollars mark (543.9 million dollars) and was a big hit all over the world, outgrossing Shang-Chi and Black Widow.
The X-Men movie franchise was the best of the best. Bleak, intense, intelligent and very "sci-fi-like". Blows the MCU and its cartoonish quality away.
Now, the superhero trend is 100% over, and the cinema experience is super-dead (sadly). Thank God, we have the home video releases. Must buy the new X-Men box-set. It's weird that you posted this on multiple boards. It's weird that you're only comparing Apocalypse to pandemic era Marvel movies it outgrossed, as opposed to the what, 20 that destroyed it at the box office? I mean Ant-Man 2 and Thor 2 outgrossed Apocalypse. Oof. Ohhhh. Getting pandemic is the new excuse for the MCU fanboys. They just cannot cope with it. Okay.

Do you think Movie Raven is American, then? Sure, she's from Wisconsin. Rebecca is from California. Jennifer is from Kentucky.

If a pandemic needs to hit before an MCU movie performs lower than an X-Men movie then that tells you just how lackluster those X-Men movies are.

I'm glad. Another superhero movie that will not surpass "Apocalypse" despite the hype.

Great question. They must conceive an X-Men TV series with the same Legion/Gifted quality. They are not ready to produce serious and brilliant X-Men movies, not yet.

"Raven Darkholme" sounds like German name.
Also, in "First Class", why is she located in America?

And "X-Men: Apocalypse" costed less, and outgrossed it. So good. Music to my ears.

This further retcons the first two Deadpool movies as not being part of the mainstream universe of the XCM. The Deadpool universe is not the "New Beginnings" one.

Yes, the opening sequence of TCM 3D was really good and it was great to have Gunnar Hansen show up. The carnival sequence was pretty good too. Other than that, there were several problems having to do with timeline. The TCM series is such a mishmash of various storylines that it wanders all over the place. The one thing that was constant throughout until Leatherface 2017 was that this character was a huge, hulking, sociopathic and mentally challenged person which does not fit with the 2017 characterization. My personal observance about Next Generation is that there is a decent film hiding in the rubble, and a good editor and sound tech could make something better out of it. I did like Leatherface TCM 3 for the way it reimagined the crazy family and that Leatherface was less of a family lackey and more of a brute, which seemed to be the characterization the was held onto in TCM 2003 and its 2006 sequel. Of course in those two films the standout is R Lee Ermy as the demented head of the family. TCM 3 was actually supposed to be a remake and not a sequel. TCM 2, the sequel that Tobe Hooper directed is just off the rails with so much black humor and bizarreness that it's enjoyable on a different level than any of the others. Another one where the opening sequence really stands out. The timeline issue doesn't bother me too much. As much as the idiotic script. 😆 Characters we basically don't give a toss about. (The boyfriend who liked to Cook was nice.) Were we supposed to care about her boyfriend and bestie cheating?? Or the stupid Cop facetimimg the Sheriff? (No backup??) 😆🤣 Or be shocked by Scott Eastwood's revelation? Scott Eastwood. So you were talking about the 3D LOL. I must watch the movie.

LEATHERFACE (2017) was a great and brilliant movie. Disturbing, well directed and well scripted. The twist was also very good. I loved it.
Frankly, "The Beginning" was the worst origin story. Leatherface does not need to be mentally impaired and disfigured before turning into Leatherface. This ruins and wastes the mystique of the character. Leatherface is supposed to be a disintegrated personality.
Also, 2017's "Leatherface" occurs many years before the 1974 movie, so he just turned into the hulking sociopath over time.
About this: "My personal observance about Next Generation is that there is a decent film hiding in the rubble, and a good editor and sound tech could make something better out of it."
THE NEXT GENERATION is very underrated. Editing and sound were good, for a start. It was a competent movie with lots of underlying concepts.
