'97 definitely proved that having a diverse team has numerous advantages for writing and directing X-Men. I'd like a similar approach for the live-action film, sans the horrible man.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, '97 is stellar. Probably the happiest I've been with a superhero adaptation in the last 20 years, beyond Reevesverse. It was bold, moving, and rooted in the source material but not confined to it. It felt personal. Those are all aspects I'd love to see in future adaptations as well.Considering they had a lot of work done for them already, and some might argue they were bad adaptations in some cases, I'm not sure it is quite the example you want it to be.
Thank god we aren't getting DeMayos Rogue/Magneto AoA fanfic season.

X-Men 97 was fun. I am less impressed with the new head writer's resume of What If work, but I am hoping for the best. Not sure I would agree it is the best comic book adaptation in recent times, but it was certainly a show that didn't feel like a chore or obligation to watch. Which says something considering the quality of a lot of D+ content
I really don't understand how you could give one of your hottest shows to the same person who wrote the bummer that is What If and think that it's a good idea.
It breaks my heart.
It's blatantly obvious it was chopped to pieces, tbh. Studio meddling has never been more transparent in an MCU product than in that film. The actual directing of what we got is fantastic, both with the dynamics of the actors AND the action. Just like DaCosta's previous work. Ergo, DaCosta being capable of delivering a better project than we got is an extremely easy conclusion to draw.
Come on, man. This was right in the middle of Marvel's "everything must be under two hours" mandate. That pretty much guarantees the stuff that was cut was "expendable" stuff like, ya know, character moments/development and connective tissue. Do I think the original cut was a masterpiece? Of course not. The original script was a throwaway story because Feige obviously gave zero s***'s about Carol and her corner of the MCU from the start. But do I believe the original was a much more cohesive, and substantial exploration of the 3 main characters and their arcs? Absolutely. That should be basic common sense.Why do you think it was chopped to pieces because there was this hidden gem of a movie that Marvel didn't want us to see?
Its just as ( if not more) likely it was the same movie we got, just longer.
Rey not only is a Master Jedi she doesn't age.15 years after TROS? Jesus.
FC, come on now. Marvel Studios making questionable decisions would never happen.Come on, man. This was right in the middle of Marvel's "everything must be under two hours" mandate.

You realize we're talking about the meddling happening way before production was finished, right? What we're talking about wouldn't have been filmed (and if it was it wouldn't be released b/c Kevin's got his narrative to push), which is why DaCosta checked out so early.I mean, I went looking for some deleted scenes from the movie and neither of them have what you describe there.
I mean, there is this weird and awkward joke about Valkrie getting confused and thinking Ms Marvel was married to Carol that I think we can safely say doesn't add anything to the movie. Is that what we missed out on?
