So kara is old guard

Nice way of saying old fart.

I like how both the X-Men and BvS threads have people discussing the Marvel movies. I'm going to bring this topic over to the Ghostbusters thread as well.

Don't give Disney any ideas.

Matthew Vaughn over any other director.

Admit it, you just like that he blows up people.

Well, we have to be respectful towards our elders, now don't we...

For me, Claremont's X-Men in in the great category, for sure, but there are some runs I'd place higher, truth be told.

Not all Claremont X-Men comics/runs are created equal. . .

Is Warren Ellis considered a relic nowadays? Damn, that would make me old.

Yeah, you're right, his Excalibur is better than his X-Men...

Nah, Ellis is still king. His reinventios of Moon Knight and now Karnak were/are gold. His NEXTWAVE is a legend, and his Authority is THE modernization of super-hero teams. He's doing rather good, I'd say...

I didn't even liked that film.
But yeah... it was very fun.

At that point in his career? I wouldn't argue that point. I'll take early Excalibur over the X-Men reboot from the early '90s any day of the week.

I think at least one person blows up in his cbm's though. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

If we're talking about X-TREME X-Men, then yeah, anything and everything is better than that. His 90s Uncanny run I haven't really read TBH.

I'd love to see Vaughn come back to the X-Verse via an EXCALIBUR movie.

 

[karamazov80]

That would be a perfect fit due to the oddball nature of Excalibur, and fact that it takes place in the UK.

I'm talking the Jim Lee brand split thing.

Ah, nope, not read that. Not really fan of 90s X-Men, to be honest. The best X stuff are the spin-offs, IMO. X-Factor, Uncanny X-Force, New X-Men, X-Men Legacy, all that. The main title took a dip in quality in the 90s AFAIC. Currently, the X line is whack, but Bunn's Uncanny is great IMO.

Yeah, I've always wanted Vaughn for EXCALIBUR, and Cary Joji ***unaga for X-FACTOR INVESTIGATIONS.

The long-awaited (by me) Outlaw Vern review is up. He says that this is the movie he was expecting when the first one was released in 2000--essentially Mortal Kombat.

[GasparZizou]

Probably would've impressed someone back then.

 

[karamazov80]

Instead of impressing everyone now, as it has done? Agreed.

Young untrained mutants infiltrated Stryker's secret base, freed Weapon X, stole some kind of prototype military aircraft, rescued Xavier from two Horsemen yet couldn't defeat Apocalypse with the help of all powerful Magneto and Storm 'till the out-of-nowhere Phoenix... Sorry but this is WAAAY TOO MUCH for a team origin, not to mention 100% redundant after "First Class".

This movie sucks big time.

Yea why didnt Magneto just make a super thick metal coffin? Apoc was contained for a few thousand years. Let the future people worry about him again.
