I'm wayyy behind on the comics right now. The last time I really kept up was 2009-2014/2016. Between the Messiah complex trilogy > Avengers vs X-Men > O5 coming back/All-New, All Different> Bendis' Uncanny X-Men> Inhumans vs X-Men and X-Men Gold. I've recently started to catch up these last few months with Blue and X-Men: Red but last I heard, Red has become Uncanny X-Men and Cyclops is back from the dead and apparently reformed. X-Men: Extermination. So I'm trying to get my reading list in order just been very busy with work
It would not even have to be post Ultron. The back story of Zemo in Civil War had him fighting some kind of dirty war where he was said to head a death squad. On the other hand since the Shoah was introduced to Magneto's backstory to ignore it now leaves Disney/Marvel open to charges of white washing a character history. But I will admit given the current real world political climate that is less likely to happen with a Jew than with members of other ethnic and racial groups.
I was skipping through the thread but all that was said was Charles in space. We know the Ravengers came to earth in the MCU past to collect Peter Quill. Why not other groups on slave raid/recruiting missions? It can be an explanation for older combat skilled mutants. Since the Inhumans are probably now gone from the MCU just as the Kree saw Inhumans as an asset in the abandoned project other races could have sensed the X gene and snatched away potentials over the years. Meanwhile before the Battle of New York humanity just waved off stories of those weird people disappearing into UFOs.
There seems to be an attempt to remake the X-Men back into a more traditional team I'm guessing. I'm excited to see Scott's reaction to Jean coming back from the dead, after everything he had been through in the last 12 years since she died. I'm getting thereYou're not too far behind! Blue leads into Extermination (5 issue event) and The Exterminated (a one shot). Red ends and Uncanny is its own thing that just set up the next few months of comics. There have been a lot of really good individual books in the last couple years (Jean Grey, Iceman, Rogue and Gambi, X23, Mr and Mrs Smith, Red), but there hasn't been much of a cohesive vision. Looks like that's changing nowthat there is yet another extinction event
As long as they don't bring in Angel, Iceman, Beast, etc as their students as the films move towards their trilogy. We can already rewatch that.
These two images perfectly encapsulate the atmsophere, mood and vibe that the MCU X-Men movies should have, particularly the first movie
And as an extension, this tone
Remove Bishop and the two Wolverines and I'd be game.
) I don't think anyone would question his acting talent. I like it!
This. Bishop needs proper set up in order to be done properly. And it also allows Marvel to dip their fingers back into the idea of a post-apocalyptic future where mutants are put in internment camps and treated like animals (which we could later learn is the result of Scott and Jean's own daughter: Hope) without doing DOFP again.
lol, hey, gotta go method for the hairy little runt
To be fair I’d take any combination of the core 20 or so X-Men as long as the foundational characters like Scott, Jean, Storm and for me Beast are involved. My preferences would be for Rogue, Psylocke and Iceman too (possibly as a student). If they are doing younger students then throw in Jubilee and Kitty too. Outside of that I have no objections at all to the likes of Colossus and Nightcrawler (particularly if we are going to have a villain that is a negative for religion) kicking things off. As for Bishop I think he needs to come later to be most effective. I’d also prefer Wolverine be saved for a sequel and X-23 for at least a 2nd sequel, although she could appear outside of X-films with Wolverine.
