Sequels The 4400/X-MEN analysis thread (Fox, producers, etc, should read this)

[Angamb]

I've just seen the 12 episode of the second season of 4400, and couldn't stop thinking in X-men while seeing it. There were so many connections, resemblances that have made me wish the x-films will be like this serie in the next sequels.

I haven't seen all the episodes of 4400, but specially this one, was really interesting in my opinion. There was a disease that supress the habilities of some of the 4400 that remember the legacy virus. I don't know well that saga, but anyway, I think the plot in this chapter was great, it showed the sufferinf of some sicks, the worries of the goverment and their reaction to it, a kind of "war", the quarantine, etc, etc.

There was all character development, drama, without unnecessary actinon.

Seeing it, at some point I thought that chapter was the X-men, but without the X-men, really.

I think Fox, the directors, and the writers should learn quite a lot of this series if they want to make a really good x-men film, not one like X3, with so much action but little "drama" moments. They should learn to showing the thoughts, fears, reactions, etc of the characters, both mutants and humans, (citizens, doctors, politicians, etc).

What do you think about all of this? Do you think 4440 is an example to learn, imitate, etc?

I thought the first series of 4400 was not that good, to be honest. Okay, but nothing more.

The other factor to bear in mind is that 4400 has had two series over which to give character depth - that's 24 episodes. Much more time than three movies.

Fox doesn't need to 'study' 4400, it needs to apply a little more care and commitment to what it has.

Fox don't need to study anything, but really can learn so much seeing some of the last new series, specially 4440, which is really close to the X-men, in terms of plots, conflicts, etc.

which of you liked this series?

I've seen a new chapter today, and you know, there are some good momments, emotional situations... I'd love the xfilms had momments as good as those.
