Never bring popcorn to a gun fight.
I don't know how people on this forum feel about it or how it stands but is it what it is.
I recently read that the fallout between Berry and Singer was because he basically had underage boys (implied there was inappropriate relations) on the X-Men set and she was not okay with it and told the studio, so he tried to make life difficult for her. I don't know which X-Men movie but that's how it went down. There was that documentary about pedophilia in Hollywood that came out a while ago and Singer was named in it. I don't doubt it, you can tell by the people he surrounds himself with.
This isn't something I want now, only after X-men films have reached their potential with say a trliogy that is universally loved doing all the main characters justice over the course of it. Once that's been done then I wouldn't mind how they are portrayed in a crossover as everyone would know for sure that both teams are really heroes (like they know both sides in CW are heroes due to prior films). As to how can it work, that's the job of skilled writers and directors. These kind of concepts are more difficult than a standard solo hero story and I could see many competent filmmakers failing but then CW shouldn't have worked and even Avengers shouldn't have worked but we now know it's possible to have 12 heroes in a film and for it to work (with many more planned for Infinity war, another set of films that in theory shouldn't work, and in concept is on a similar level to what an Avengers Vs X-men would be). An Inhumans vs X-Men might make sense too. Of course we're only talking of things that might be possible in decades, and maybe not even then.
I don't mind Xavier getting a focus in every film it being his dream and all. Magneto should be a recurring main villain who disappears between films. Wolverine is a great character but he's not the only X-Man and I don't mind if he's in every film as long as the focus is shared with other main characters. This is a misconception that the GA has that the X-men only have one really good character, because they haven't seen the evidence to show otherwise even after so many films. And Mystique has been massively overrepresented. She worked really well in the first few films as a secondary villain but it hasn't worked from FC onwards. JL is great but there are better things out there for her.
The same problems CW suffered and IW will suffer. Also I know you are a GoT watcher and that has the most main characters of anything ever.Less is more when it comes to movies, Blue and Gold teams here is character bloat, the same problem XM:APOC suffers from.
Beast needs to go, I never liked him in the movies -too cheezy looking. Too many "blue" characters altogether.
The strongest, and most successful lineup of X-Men was the "All-New, All -Different" squad that replaced the original X-Men in the late 70s -with Phoenix, leading up to the Dark Phoenix storyline by Claremont and Byrne. Banshee can be axed in favor of Kitty or Psylocke to get some gender equality.
. It has more main characters in the first few episodes (movie equivalent time) than the majority of films. 2 teams would be too much for a first film but when you have the equivalent of an X-Men cinematic universe done right it is something that can be built towards once the underlying characters have already been developed in prior films. Then you can choose to focus on a few for an event film crossover and the others just need a few good moments each while enriching the film from the background. I really hope we can get exactly what you posted one day, even if it is decades away and CW gives me faith it can work.
