I always thought it was odd Apocalypse was the "first mutant", humans have been around for about 200,000 years, it wouldn't make much sense for the first mutant to appear around 7000 years ago
True. It's weird. I think it's much more plausible to think Wolverine - born in the 19th century - as one of the first mutants.

...on Disney+, Netflix, Hulu or whatever.
Where could I find some rating figures for them in terms of audience and share?
Thank you.

I have to disagree with you. APOCALYPSE was a brilliant and epic superhero movie, and the quintessential X-Men movie to date. DARK PHOENIX was a great movie with soul and heart, despite its flaws. Cyclops was extremely cool in DP, for instance. And its OK that we disagree. But I have to point out that for someone who is supposed to be Jean Greys main love interest Cyclops does very little in the movie. I really don't see how you can say he was so cool in that movie. He doesn't do much. IMO Cyclops should be one of the top three leads in any X-Men movie, not just a supporting character, as he has been so far. I guess that the MCU X-Men would easily fix that. He will be the leader. And I must say that, from an action standpoint, Cyclops had very cool scenes in Apocalypse and - most of all - Dark Phoenix (especially in the final battle). In Dark Phoenix, he displayed his power in a fine way. On the other hand, I know what you mean, and yes, I guess that the MCU will fix it.

The storm/Toad sequence was one of the dopier moments in the film. The wirework reminds me of a cheap community theater production of Peter Pan I saw as a teen.
LOL. The special effects and the wirework of the Storm/Toad sequence were great for their own time. I was only concerned about the vast amount of power that Storm displayed against Toad in such occurrence; on the other hand, Movieverse Toad was as much strong and agile as Beast or even Wolverine, as well as having additional powers.

They fixed this with Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. That said, he was pretty cool in X1 and had a pivotal role in the final act of X2. I'm afraid I have to disagree. I also thought Cyclops might be going in the right direction in the early scenes of Apocalypse, but both that and Dark Phoenix are so bad I cant consider them as fixing anything.

The post-apocalyptic future roster was ultra-cool.

Cyclops is my biggest gripe with the entire X-Men franchise. They treated him like crap in the entire series right from the get go. I acknowledge that Wolverine is the most popular X-Man and should get his lions share of screen time. but Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men, the heart and soul of the group, its back bone if you will. By dissing Cyclops you're showing a failure to understand one of the central tenets of what makes the X-Men so cool. he's the cool head. Wolverines the hot head. And Jean is the glue between them. I know some of you are thinking that Professor X is the heart of the team, but he's not really. He's more the old man mentor who doesn't go out into the field. He's like Obi Wan or Merlin while Cyclops is like Luke or King Arthur (Wolverine is Lancelot or Han, and Jean Grey is Guinevere or Leia. The classic tropes are all there.) I hope Cyclops gets his due whenever MCU gets around to them. They fixed this with Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. That said, he was pretty cool in X1 and had a pivotal role in the final act of X2.

I agree. It's a pretty stellar comic book movie, despite the (relatively) low budget. And as you said, it needed an additional amount of 25 minutes for more action sequences in the final third act. I also feel that the roster needed at least one more X-Man.
That said, it was 100% groundbreaking and a classic of the modern era.

Mind you:
Wherever Ruby #2 (Season 3) comes from a "discarded" alteration of the past or an Alternate 1982, she materialized in the Knowby Cabin few days before young Ash and his group would arrive. She watched the events of ED1 and ED2 from the woods, undetected, without interfering. INSTEAD, Ruby #1 (Season 1 and 2) reached the Knowby Cabin too late. Ash had already come back to the present time, stealing the Necronomicon Ex Mortes from the cabin. At first, Ruby #1 didn't know Ash's identity. That gave Ash an advantage on her, because he left Elk Grove and started wandering across Michigan and America. Ruby #2, knowing already Ash's identity (Season 3), followed/stalked Ash from 1982 to 2018.
I guess it's safe to assume that it's a fixed timeline, and the two Rubys where always there. Ash always traveled back in 1300 AD (his universe), and in 2016 he always jumped to the Alternate 1982 (parallel universe).

Season 2 fixed that (see Episode 9). The entire EVIL DEAD II prologue was a false memory that Ash had at the beginning of the movie.
And we can pretend that the differences we see in THE EVIL DEAD (different cabin, different furniture, Ash looking a bit younger) are the way Ash remembers the events of the first night.
I forgot they did that. Wasn't wholly necessary but it's nice they did that nonetheless. Yes. Ash sees Knowby's desk and says something along these lines: "The book was on there... oh wait no, Scott found it in the cellar". The series fixed a lot of problems, it was pure genius.

I like to see it as a fixed timeline, despite some confusion the second movie caused, so yes.

1) The low budget of that film really shows unfortunately. I like it a lot and consider it a classic- but the effects don’t exactly look great. Forget about the special effects: what about the cinematography of that sequence? It looks a bit "TV-like" to me. Must be the budget.
