Hopefully, "Generation X" will be released on blu-ray or UHD. That has as much chance of getting a physical release as the Corman Fantastic 4 movie does. Very little. Or even UHD streaming.

The movie is very good. It's as much good and entertaining as any "generic" MCU entry like "Thor 2" or whatever. The only sequence that should be "redone" is the bathroom one, because the CGI claws were not good on that.

I think this is a genius move that will re-establish "Superman" as the top seller comic book it was in the Forties.
Because let's face it: this is a very original, subtle and definitely cool "gimmick".
Kudos to DC Comics. God bless America.

It's a deleted scene, unfortunately.
I understand that you don't like the movie. But why shouldn't it be seen as canon anyway?

About Sabretooth: Victor Creed underwent a secondary mutation and evolved into Sabretooth. Or maybe, someone experimented on him in the 1983-1999 timespan. 16 years. Maybe Stryker... because we know that Stryker did not stay in prison for too long, after the events of "Origins". Logan lost his memory and he couldn't recognize Victor anyway, because Victor as Sabretooth looked vastly different. Sabretooth lost his memory too, but he did seem to recognize Logan's dog tags in X1. Nice touch! Vague reminiscences... Eh. It’s just inconsistency, honestly. Origins just flat out disregarded X1. And Sabetooth was not meant to be Logan’s brother in X1. In any case, Origins is not canon so it matters not.
It's not inconsistency at all. Both the characters lost their memory. And it's obvious that Victor underwent a secondary mutation. Even in "Logan", Old Man Logan aknowledges that he and Victor had been teammates at some point, and that Victor was Sabretooth.

I think the movie is marvellous the way it is.
Did you like the clothes that Logan wear? Too bad he did not wear any costume, ninja garb or special suit at the end.

Looking back, I think it’s a shame that Liev Schreiber never reprised his role as Sabretooth. I never wanted it because Sabertooth is so different in X Men 1. Not that that version was good, but bringing back Shrieber’s version would’ve messed with the canon. Origins alone raised the question of why they didn’t seem to know each other in X1.

I thought the movie takes place in 1979? No. Scott/Cyclops is 18 years old, as revealed in "Apocalypse" (set in 1983). James Logan joined Stryker in late 1973. He left Team X in 1977. 6 years before the events of "Origins". 1983 + 15 years = 1998. "X-Men"/X2 are set in 1999, and the characters were rounding up dates. It's perfect.

Tell me.
I think that the movie is a good and fun popcorn superhero flick, they just should redo the digital claws sequence in the Hudson family's bathroom.
I don't see anything wrong with it, quite frankly.
Emma Silverfox and Wade/Weapon XI are just reinterpretations. Weapon XI was scary and frightening. Who cares about having a comic book faithful adaptation? Later, we got the two Deadpool movies and the Deadpool cinematic universe. The character is a bit overrated anyway.
In terms of continuity, Emma Silverfox, Quicksilver and Banshee could be seen as an issue, but we can suppose that they are clones created by Essex/WideAwake.
There are no other continuity problems.
The movie is set in 1983. 15 years before "X-Men" (1999). Cyclops is 18 years old, exactly like he was in "X-Men: Apocalypse".

It’s good until the third act. I’m sorry, but the final battle was terrible and Viper is a garbage character. Yeah this the movie was very solid until the ending which seemed like a different movie altogether. The change of setting, the giant samurai robot with a heat sword and the bald venom spitting woman brought it down unfortunately. Viper was great. The third act resembled a Wolverine solo comic book more. The Silver Samurai mecha was astonishing.

Quite simple, having the movie in B/W underlines its "standalone" quality in comparison with the rest of the franchise.
So the Noir version is a What If… but maybe the theatrical is canon?
Apart from the chromatic change, they are 100% identical.

Read my original post. There are several points explained. Caliban is the biggest red herring, as well as the overall tone. That said, having the movie looking like a noir B/W helps supporting the notion even further.
I don’t know. I will personally always think of it as canon but that’s just me, I guess. I haven’t seen the “Noir” version. I never saw the point of it. There is really nothing Noirish about the movie or it’s cinematography so I don’t know what the B&W would add.

DOFP is the ending. And it's a great ending. "Logan" is indeed a wonderful "What If" story, inspired by the Old Man Logan comic book universe.
If someone were to watch these films without knowing that the director/studio made off hand comments about it being a What If story would that person then have any reason whatsoever to think it was a What If story? There is nothing in the movie to suggest that it isn’t canon.

I liked it better than Logan tbh. The WW2 scene is a great opening and the bullet train fight is awesome. Yukio is a good sidekick but his romance with Mariko seemed rushed (I know it's canon). I actually don't mind the climax with the mecha samurai.
The final battle was very comic book-ish, and in a good way. It was aggressive, well-directed an definitely cool. The "mecha" Silver Samurai was terrific.

I like "Logan", and it's a terrific movie. This doesn't change that it's supposed to be an alternate universe, and even Mangold and Marvel aknowledged it. It was a dark and bleak "What If" story, and we love it for that. The real ending of the franchise was DOFP, because it makes the entire saga worthwhile and meaningful in terms of story-arc and message. But as I said, sometimes it’s nice to just end at DoFP and enjoy the happy ending. DoFP is a terrific film.

Anyway, while Evangeline Lilly was very careful about saying anything about the Ant-Man 3 plot, she did praise screenwriter Jeff Loveness’ (Rick and Morty) script saying: “I think he is phenomenal. I think he's one of the best writers we've ever had. I think he's got an incredible mastery of voice. So, on the page, I could hear all the characters, and I knew that he'd really kind of harnessed each person's unique personality. I just think that it's going to be really special. I actually think it has the chance to be the best one we've done yet.” collider.com/evangeline-lilly-ant-man-3-script-wandavision-female-marvel-characters/She's paid for saying nice things about the studio and its hired guns.

I don’t think it invalidated anything. Not all endings have to be happy. I rather liked that the humans succumbed to their worst desires and more or less eliminated mutants. It’s cynical, but it fits the franchise perfectly. Xavier accidentally killing the X Men was perhaps too dark… but it was clearly a direct nod to the opening of the Old Man Logan comic where Logan does the same thing. Also, Charles’ dream does not fail. He and Logan save the children and allow a new generation of mutants to go free. Logan is canon and it should have been where the franchise ended. The next two movies were gratuitous. That said, I could definitely understand not liking it or wanting to simply end your rewatch after Days of Future Past. I did that last time I watched these. DoFP works as a solid finale. I like "Logan", and it's a terrific movie. This doesn't change that it's supposed to be an alternate universe, and even Mangold and Marvel aknowledged it. It was a dark and bleak "What If" story, and we love it for that.
