I feel you. But even I'm tired of getting hopes up/dashed over and over and over and over again. After Storm had little to do in DoFP I reasoned to myself "Well, XA will mark a new beginning with Storm--new actress, set in the 80s, Cairo, mohawk--we'll make up for it then." And no, I wasn't thrilled when they announced she'd be a horseman, but then I thought to myself, "Well, she'll get more focus this way instead of being lost in shuffle with Jean, Scott, Xavier, etc. But nope. She ended up being sidelined for the majority of the film in Magneto's shadow instead.
See, we continue to give FOX, Singer, Kinberg the benefit of the doubt. But all they do is trifle with our goodwill. And that's why they're getting this embarrassing $65 milliono opening. People are over it now. I'd rather them just take a minute and figure out what the hell they're doing.
I agree with you and though I really expected more from Storm in this movie I truly feel that a story as big as Apocalypse just couldn't fit everything in one movie so a lot of people were shortchanged. Jean had her big moment in the moment but neither her nor Cyclops,Storm or Nightcrawler really had big roles in this so I can understand it simply being an introduction. I can understand why people are fed up though we've waited so long and they are just now changing things and it may be to late. I just hope they don't go back on the comic accurate costumes or giving us a bit more action or give less focus to Cyclops or Storm because of this movie. I really don't know if by the next one it will even be fixed because it's like you get excited then let down. They truly need to focus on the XMen get rid of Magneto for awhile, give Mystique a break and focus on the core team and I think that will help. I'd much prefer them giving the reins to someone else instead of making us wait 4-5 yes for another main XMen film I don't think that's fair at all. I like other XMen but I could honestly care less about seeing some of them onscreen if they aren't my favorites there's no reason for us to suffer because they messed up and I hope that isn't the case.
