Singer's open to directing another X-men film!

[gambitfire]

SO then what did he do huh? please tell me what he did?

He had no input in the movie whatsoever he didn't do anything except make it shorter and go faster than the flash (which IMO is what made the feel so different from the others). It's not what happened to Batman because Batman actually changed not for the best but it did change. As far as pattern goes i don't think there is one but without a doubt Ratner rhode a boat to success.

 

[The Batman]

Not to mention the same thing happened to the superman franchise.

the SR crowd does have one major advantage over the X_men franchise. SR's story might have been sub-par (or even mediocre depending on who you talked to), and lacked the action fans might have craved, but unlike X-Men, in Superman Returns all of the major cast actually survived and is alive and are open for a sequel!!! We're the ones at a dead end.

We're not at a dead end.

You will be shrieking in purist despair at this, but Ratner said the next direction for the X-franchise was outer space.

The Shi'ar were the ones who put Xavier's conciousness in a new body and who restored Magneto's power to its maximum so that he could distract and defeat the X-Men... There's food for thought there...

And if the cure isn't permanent (see Magneto), then maybe Rogue or Mystique will also return in some capacity. And Cyclops too. I have a rough idea for an X4 that would involve Storm, Angel, Cyclops, Beast (or Nightcrawler), some new characters (Bishop, Sage, Forge?) and the vengeful return of a re-powered Magneto in a sub-plot by the main nemesis to distract the X-Men. As well as the possible return of Phoenix.

I say let Singer come back and start up another trilogy and let Ratner go give poor Supes some action.

 

[Cosmic Mind]

I sort of think the same chaseter, but singer did an amazing job with supes, and ratner will screw things up, like he did on X3

Ratner came in with little time and did an ok job. He was the victim of a rushed time schedule and the evil Fox corporation. But Superman needed a lot more action.

 

[taintedFB]

I doubt FOX will ever want to work with Singer again. There were too many issues and disagreements between them. They did not split amicably.

That said, I just want an X4 where Cyclops is alive. And Storm is off the "uppers" that had her all hyper in X3. She should be calm and strong not snippy and brief.

Anyway, I don't mind Ratner directing, but we need good writers who can write believable dialogue! And less humor.

 

[Angamb]

Yes, less humor and a better tone, more serious, sophisticated, and more characters development = more time, not 1:30. The X-men are a team, so much more characters to develop, not like Spiderman and Superman, which had a bigger running time paradoxically.

Best x-men news i've read in a long time.

I doubt Singer will ever want to work with Fox again... If you ask me the solution is simple-

I'll be really happy if Marvel never worked with Fox from the beginning.

 

[CapBeerCino]

Amen.

What's the point in wanting the impossible? You may as well start dealing in realities. You cannot undo what has been done.

Some of you are on the road to valium, if you aren't far down it already.

 

[CapBeerCino]

Bringer of light & wisdom.

She said she'd be happy if Fox weren't involved from the get go- well guess what- most users here agree. Maybe you need some valium.

 

[britrogue]

Fox need to die. They were totally unreasonable about X3

 

[X-Maniac]

She said she'd be happy if Fox weren't involved from the get go- well guess what- most users here agree. Maybe you need some valium.

But they ARE involved, they WERE involved from the get go. There is no 'time reversal' mechanism to undo it. I have long realised that, hence I have no need to reach for valium.

Here's some light and wisdom for you: Change the things you can, accept the things you cannot change and have the wisdom to know the difference.

 

[La_She-Beast]

Fox need to die.

Whoa, whoa... let's just remember that they were who helped the Simpsons and the X-Files come to life

 

[CapBeerCino]

While the rest of us intend to travel in time and there for in need for valium?

Maybe you should define "accept the things you cannot change". If by "accept" you mean say amen to whatever Fox throws at us, then I'll look for wisdom elsewhere, thank you.

 

[The Ones]

How long til Marvel get the rights back?

If we have to spend money on something, then as consumers we have the inherent right to not have to accept things that are just thrown at us like this. And that's the point. This kind of negative feedback is the tool by which consumers send back the message to producers to let them know that we're not satisfied with what you're trying to give us, and if you want us to accept it and hand over our money, then you need to make it better, improve it, and fix it otherwise you're not getting our business.

"accept things you cannot change" may apply to such real-world concepts as death, but it certainly doesn't apply to other real life concepts as consumer goods and entertainment. Because consumer do have the power to change things. They've done it before and they can keep doing it. Remember New Coke? Consumers just didn't accept what they couldn't change. One reasyn why new car sales are so bad? Because consumers refuse to buy crappy cars. Why do some movies bomb financially? Again because consumers refuse to accept things you claim they cannot change. Remember Batman Begins? That's another good example too.

And don't go overboard with valium. Making people pop drugs so casually like that is one of the reasons why society has the problems it does right now.

Actually, we can change it. Those who didn't like it are voicing this displeasure and letting Fox, Marvel, Ratner, Penn, and Kinberg know exactly how we feel about it.

If enough noise is made then Marvel can get the rights away from Fox and take it to Sony, WB, or LGF.

Look at how much noise was made from Batman fans(myself included) and because of our dedication, because of a director, a writer, and a great actor who understood our complaints and frustration; a new Batman film was made and it satisfied the legions of fans who wanted to see The Dark Knight who was and is true to his character.

Exactly. Consumers voicing their displeasure. It would give a company, a big, prestigious company like FOX, bad public image to ignore their customers.

Marvel likes to say they are listening. Heck, it says so right there on the liner notes of EndSong #4. Now let's see if they actually pay attention and do anything about it.

You mean you didn't give up just because people said they were tired of hearing the complaints???

Woah, I was thinking the same thing but then I just put it this way...The only good thing that Fox has ever done was give us X-Files and the Simpsons (speaking of which, the Simpsons needs to be put out of its misery, that damn show is flopping about like a fish out of water looking for new stories to tell-they are out of ideas)
