    Honestly think a quick cameo was the best we will get. I can’t imagine him leading a movie where he can’t talk the whole movie.

    I "think" they may well resurrect the Inhumans; not as a movie headliner though. I could easily see them in a FF movie down the line.

    I'm not a Black Bolt fan, but on repeat viewing I found it a tad annoying how they make fun of "Blackagar Boltagon" same as they did with "Otto Octavius". It feels very early 2000s Wolverine making fun of the X-Men's names.

    Honestly, I thought Black Bolt looked stupid :ninja:. Not just the costume, but the way the actor looked in the costume. And his acting too. I thought it was kinda funny what happened to him :oldrazz:.

    It was great seeing Atwell, Lynch, and Stewart though. Glad Atwell and Lynch were able to put up a bit of a fight. Krasinski was okish. I was just shocked that it was actually him, I don’t think I was able to take in his performance or costume at all. Need to see this movie again.

    Did anyone find it rather odd they didn’t mention X-Men and introduce Xavier as, “leader of the X-Men.”

    I honestly think they aren’t going to be called X-Men in the MCU.

    Yeah, that definitely felt like a relic of the "We're embarrassed of our own source material" era.

    Why ?? just because there is already a saga named X-men since 2000 ?

    they will be called X-Men in MCU and nothing other

    If I'm Marvel, I don't ignore the name of one of my most high profile groups. Frankly, I think a lot of people would be really put off by it and I don't see Marvel going there.

    Really enjoyed them but their best moment was being absolutely torn apart by Wanda.

    First X-Men 97 is a direct continuation of the animated series so makes sense they’d keep the name.

    Right or wrong, X-Men doesn’t work any more since there will be women and men on the team. We’ve also heard Feige use the term “Mutants” and not actually say “X-Men”. Not saying it will be called Mutants but I don’t think they’ve landed on a name yet. Happy to be wrong about it. I’m just speculating based on what I’ve heard.

    What if Marvel Studios just call the team as X?

    X-Men is a big brand not to be used as a name. Marvel ComiX isn't phasing it out as well for the film department to call it something else.

    these days, anyway

    But if they have X-Men 97 that would mean it would be X-Men in the MCU.

    There have always been women and men on the team. There have been X-teams that didn't even have any men on them at all. They were still the X-Men.

    And Feige used the term mutants because the whole mutant related slate of characters encompasses a LOT more than just the X-Men by themselves. They could (not necessarily will) easily account for multiple super-team projects and a half dozen or more solo characters.

    A thought just occurred to me. You're trying to give @psylockolussus a heart attack. :funny:

    A heart attack would be such an eXtreme reaction, which I don't see myself having that reaction. But eXpect a major backlash from X-Men fans all over the world if they don't use that magic name.
