Im reading both early comics and current ones too, so I appreciate all.
I just think that even if they never tried to be faithfull, with the big competition that we have now, in terms of other comic movies doing big numbers, like Avengers and Batman, I think many comic readers would appreciate Fox a bit more if they start being a bit more faithful, althought they cant use all the characters that appeared in each storyarc.
For example, in Days of future past, the main x-men were: Wolverine, Storm, Kitty, Collosus, and Rachel too.
So what would Marvel and x-men fans and critics preffer? Fox trying to get back those four characters and actors, to be a bit faithful, or keeping doing more mess like past films as Wolverine or X3?
Im sure most critics and non x-men fans would have a bit more respect if the sequel ends using those four x-men, instead of Iceman, Angel, more two or three unknown b-list characters from the comics.
They HAVE a great chance to do it right this time. and the get back many fans that they lost with X3 and Wolverine.
So I really hope Matthew and Singer are smart and pay attention to what Fox got wrong with previous movies.
It's tricky. And it's now quite a challenge. In First Class, the X-Men they ended up with (Banshee, Beast, Havok) aren't the original five (Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Iceman, Warren/Angel) and the Brotherhood they ended up with (Magneto, Azazel, Emma, Mystique, female Angel, Riptide) aren't the original Brotherhood (Magneto, Toad, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Mastermind) nor the Brotherhood in the past of DoFP comic (Mystique, Pyro, Avalanche, Destiny, Blob).
Also, there are three versions of DoFP. In the original comic, future Kitty's mind was sent back in time to possess the body of past Kitty by Rachel Summers. In the X-Men cartoon, Bishop was sent back using a time machine invented by Forge. In Wolverine and the X-Men, Professor Xavier telepathically communicated with the X-Men of the past.
If they want the Original Five to be existing in the 60s, they somehow have to bring in Warren/Angel, Iceman, Cyclops and Jean to join Beast, and get rid of Havok and Banshee. Creating the original Brotherhood also means radical changes.
Where do they go from here?
