I just find it stupid when these fans to say Disney would do it "right" when the MCU has taken the same approach Fox did for adapting the source, they filtered, distorted, condesned and retconed it for the big screen.

Donner and Singer arent Feige and Wheddon.
It matters who's doing the reimagining.

For me, it's important that the movies maintain the core spirit of the comics. I would rather just see the filmmakers create completely original characters/stories than something that only superficially references the comic. But if you're just aping the comic, then I don't see the real value since those stories have already been told (like Watchmen and the Year One cartoons). Some franchises are more successful at this than others, and sacrifices are always made.

In general, I'll take a well made film that ignores important components of the comics altogether (like Nolan's Batfilms) than something that tries to stick with the essence of the comic but comes out as a totally ****ty movie (like Fantastic Four). But the most successful "comic" films are going to hit on both those levels. I think Avengers, X2, and Spider-Man 2 are at the top of that list.

First Class bugged me because the characters were all wrong, but everything else was right, and for that, the pros definitely outweighed the cons. They understood what it was that made the X-Men a different and interesting story, and I hope that will continue into this next film.

This is why I like the concept of Kick ***, created to be a movie and comic simultaneously. No need to change anything because Millar inked the movie deal beforehand.

Big refresh after the sell out he did with Wanted.

I realy agree with your last statement; in the end, more has to go right than wrong.

The funny thing is, comics change things up and retcon so much, you'd think people would be used to a little change by now.

Holy crap, did I really write error instead of era.

That's what I get for foruming while in my brothers pool.

This is why i don't get the hate against Singer.

He made good movies based on X-Men, he had to condense the source material down to a two hour movie, so he mixed about the characters to bring in some of the more popular ones like Wolverine and Storm and had to re-imagine the rainbow coloured costumes to a unifying "team" look that people could accept without laughing. It was only when he left that the franchise took a nose-dive.

_______

The thing i find mindboggling is how both Singer and Whedon assigned the most signifcant scenes to those who aren't the leaders of each repective tesm and one is condemned for doing it while they other is celebrated.

I'm not talking about each movies quality, It's not an Avengers vs X-Men thing, just how the lead characters are swapped and each is received differently by the community

People seem to hate Singer for making Wolverine the focal character of the X-Men movies instead of Cyclops, but don't hate Whedon for making Iron Man the focal character of the Avengers movies* instead of Cap.

It's the exact same situation, both movies were positiveley received by audiences, both switched the leaders to the most popular characters and both actors (Jackman & RDJ) are loved the roles yet one director is slammed for the move and the other isn't

*Iron Man got the most significant scenes, he was the one who walked into the briefing room and explain what Loki was looking for, he was the one to believe in Banner, he was the one who titled them the Avengers and went face to face with the bad guy. He was the one to sacrificed himself at the end.

I cried to my brother about my poverty an he said "ok Mr. Avengers 10x in the theater toy collector".

Hate it when he's right.

My brother says similar things. But my nephews think my toys are the coolest thing ever!

Plus he always comes to me asking about these superhero movies...I don't know how I'm gonna explain this one to him

Both my brothers are jocks.

I'm not.

Neither of them have ever watched a Superhero movie.

Quicksilver being in the 1970's portion wasn't something i thought would happen.

I'd venture to say he's part of the team. That would possibly make Xavier, Beast, Quicksilver, Havok and possibly Sunspot and Warpath or Thunderbird (not sure which he is)

Since Fassbender dropped that line about Quicksilver having "good genes" it's safe to assume he is Magneto's son.

Erik must of knocked up a woman when fairly young

You should make fun of them when they don't know the difference between Marvel and DC
