X-3 "had problems?"
The Juggernaut was terrible and pointless...this is a Hulk/Thor level character demoted to nothing...
Jean/Phoenix was pointless.....so you mean tell me that the only thing that could kill a cosmic entity that's on the same scale level as Galactus was Wolverines claws...?
And who were 90% of those other cheap disposable mutants that five X-men ran through like wet tissue paper?
What's crazy is that if any of the actually X-men books were this bad. We wouldn't even entertaining this discussion...
The problem is that most people love these characters enough to the point where they'll allow Fox to drop any type of Director, script and cast for it, just as long as they're getting an X-men film.
So fast forward to next year when Wolverine 2 fails to deliver yet again...and people will turn a blind eye to it just for the sake of denying me the right to say "I told ya so!" Thus making Fox the Ike Turner of comic book films...
You'll understand what that means when you're telling yourself "Fox isn't always bad though, it treats some Xmen films good some times..." SMH....
Black Widow and Hawkeye didn't have any point in being in Iron Man 2 and Thor besides promoting the Avengers, and what's up with all your hanguer? What? YOu want us to say i told you so? Before Avengers was released i said it was going to make big numbers and break records, that it would be almost as successful as Titanic and would beat The Dark Knight Rises in the box-office, most laughed and said that it would only make Iron Man numbers and that there wouldn't be a bigger audience number than the other Marvel films. While it's still early to talk about the dark knight rises argument it seems like i was completelly right about Avengers being a smash his, you don0t see me walking around the forums screaming "I TOLD YOU SO!"
I didn't do it when Avengers was the hit i was saying it would be, or when i believed X-Men: First Class was going to be great because of the director even with most fans everywhere on the net complaining it was going to be terrible. After seeing the trailer of Green Lantern i expected something terrible, IGN however convinced me that it may be a Star Wars epic, turns out i was right
So, when i have to choose between a studio that replaced Nazis for Hydra agents or a franchise that is going to have its film being directed by Mathew Vaugh, Bryan Singer and the director of 3:10 to Yuma based on a script by Darren Aronofsky i guess i will choose the option that seems more promising.
X-Men: First Class, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Prometheus are proof that Fox is now taking risks and trusting Directors with very good results.
And as i said before Marvel doesn't need the X-Men, they may need the Fantastic Four, but not the X-Men, it allways made more sence the X-Men universe being a different one from the Marvel Universe, a world where people that got powers from magic or genetic experiments are loved by the public but people that are the next step in evolution are hated doesn't make much sence.
And as was said by many they are looking forward to X-Men: First Class 2, not the Wolverine, so you aren't predicting very much, i'm probably one of the few that has hopes for that film, however even i am not that sure about it, in fact my expectations for The Wolverine are similar to my expectations for Captain America 2, i see both with big possibilities of failing, but still have hopes for both.
