I see what you're saying but the eighties is still the past, ya know? It just creates a barrier for casual fans. People can't even wrap their brains around DOFP.
Well of course a good movie is a good movie. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. But I think the time travel/past aspect puts off some viewers.
I think I understand where your coming from. I'll watch these movies regardless of when they are set, but by staying in the past the movies are going to continue to take place about 30+ years from when they are released, stuck in the 20th century. X-Men: Apocalypse will be set in the 80s, and sequels could continue through 80s and into the 90s (I don't know if they'll retread the 2000s), is that something that would appeal to most people, or does it matter? It's a crazy idea, but what if they do what All New X-Men has done and have the younger X-Men brought to the future? This way the 21st century setting keeps it more relevant and the younger actors help sustain the longevity of the franchise.
