X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

[RIDDICK]

Sounds almost as bad as Scarlett Johansson led Black Widow movie.

Still does to me.

No new stuff for me either, will just serve to taint my happy memories sitting in my attic.

Now I just go watch the movie versions of my collection even if all the stories are combined into a blendar for maximum profit and efficiency.

I ain't complaining.

Disney lover here, no problem admitting that.

Fraction's Iron Man ended before Marvel NOW! and honestly, it felt like reading an old book. There was inner monologue,

Do you recall when exactly they got rid of all thought balloons?

Still does to me.

So many characters deserve standalone movies over both of them, I would love to see a Namor or MoonKnight from Marvel, and Fox needs to get New Mutants and X-Force out there before they think about anything else. No X-Man or Brotherhood member deserve their own movies outside of Wolverine in my opinion, at least not until they're established in a team film and there's some sort of demand there.

I did like that Singer the at least hinted that the movie doesn't need Jennifer Lawrence though.

Getting back to X-Men, I almost never hear anyone mention Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men. I didn't read them but IIRC they were highly praised when they first came out. Anyone a fan?

Here's a neat article about it: https://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.gr/2015/07/from-bubbles-to-boxes-shift-from.html

Moon Knight is better suited for a Netflix show. Namor is tricky though. He's what Aquamomoa is trying to be, though that might seem as too much of a "copy" on Marvel's part. I say introduce him as a Black Panther antagonist first, and then, based on the reception, give him a spin-off.

As for Fox, I'd really like to see a "Brotherhood" movie down the line, either with the Freedom Force team, or the modern one, which is esentially just the more radical X-Men, like Cyclops and Magneto. An All-New X-Factor movie would be swell as well.

It's excellent if you like Whedon's sense of humor. It's the reason I was so excited when he was announced for Avengers.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I liked Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men. If anything, just because I loved Kitty's reaction to Colossus being alive.

Proper Jugg and Sabre long overdue.

Twas damn great. Coming off of Morrison's black leather, it was a nice trip down memory lane. I've not finished it yet (or maybe I have and just don't remember it), but it's great. It's got humor, drama, whacky and serious plots alike, there's a neat balance.

Whedon should've directed an XM movie.

 

[Khev]

Whedon should've directed an XM movie.

He still can...

Whedon should've directed an XM movie.

That wouldn't be half bad actually, if he sticks with modern goofy teenager X-men.

He could probably do a good job with Kid Omega.

But maybe just writing and assisting direction, no directing.

There's only one thing worse than Bendis-Talk, and that's Aaron's X-Kids and Hellfire Brats. Quire's very cool (yeah, I know he's not Aaron's), but the rest? Eye-Boy? Shark-Girl? Martha (Hopeman and Batfleck are gonna love that one)? Aaron can be either very good, or very, very bad...

 

[GasparZizou]

I was thinking more along the lines of the kid bits of new mutants, I actually never read Aaron's X-men.

And yeah, I didn't know Aaron outside the GoT run, which was masterful, and I thought he had a gun to his head writing Whor, but apparently he's capable of some bad **** on his own

Oh, yeah. Rockslide and Armour were damn cool. Yeah, I could see that.

As for Aaron, honestly, he can be either very good, or absymal. His current Doctor Strange run is just his GoT story with a different cast. NuThor, the previous vol at least, was awful, and I can't stress that enough. I mean, look at this ****:

Current Mighty Thor is eh. It's toned down the whole thing, and is just telling story. Though Jane is still annoying as hell. His Wolverine and the X-Men was average to good. It's just his kids that sucked.

 

[GasparZizou]

I can't wrap my head around how come a guy who writes Thor like it's Conan the Barbarian and other old epic pulp fantasy macho stories, write stupid **** like that too.

I'm just gonna think he does it for the money so I can still respect him.

Okay NOW I see why they got rid of thought balloons.
