It's more that people want to see that these filmmakers learned their lesson. In any case making that choice won't leave fans happy. This series has killed and wasted enough X-Men. Time to stop, they are already in a bad enough position now.

Psylocke
Havok
Gambit
Angel
Jubilee
Emma
Banshee
Storm
Bishop

They aren't even using Kity, Rogue, Iceman anymore. God knows if Colossus would only show up in Deadpool movies. Then there's the human Beast who had less impact than the old Beast after three films!

God I cannot wait to see them waste Polaris, Forge, Dazzler and not be surprised by it.

 

[Stan Lee]

I don't believe in that theory. He wasn't drugged up in the film I watched.

Not really a theory. Even Singer mentioned this months prior to the movie's release. That and there is no reason to think that the power-up wouldn't affect his mind like it did Xavier's.

 

[sabetoonth]

It doesn't matter that he was on his best behavior for a few years. He tried to kill the president with the whole world watching. He nearly ensured his own species extinction. He deserved to go back in that cell beneath the Pentagon. Xavier trusted that his friend was still in there and gave him a get out of jail fee card.

10 years later magneto returns Xavier's mercy by coming back and causing even more death and destruction and.. he's let off the hook again bit I'm sure he's really learned his lesson this time.

Not at all like the two situations where he's let go are totally different.

DOFP: Erik gets shot in the neck, loses the helmet. Vulnerable, flies away

XMA: Erik, realizing hiss colossal **** up gives Apocalypse an X shaped middle finger. While wearing the helmet that keeps telepaths out of his head.

Walking away isn't how I'd have done it. But I don't mind it that much.

The more I watch Apocalypse the more really small connections and references I find in the movie. The electrified fences introduced in this movie? Those were already in X2. Jean helping Xavier's after Apocalypse is defeated? Also what happened in X1: "I knew you'd find your way back to us." "I had you to guide me." There are so many things that come full circle in this movie. And despite the flaws, I can't help but appriciate all those small details.

Apocalypse while it's in new timeline from original trilogy and has none of original cast except for hugh jackman's cameo it's really ending of singerverse
including last stand even though singer has nothing to do with that film.plenty of little things that mirror things In X-Men and X2.

Yeah pretty much. Though I guess Logan will underline that once more. But after that we're really done with the Singerverse. t:

problem for me, is as awesome as it is to throw in those kinds of nuances, i felt this film had soo many it felt almost like watching movies i've already seen. They came off as "retread" and not "oh that's a really beautiful way of coming full circle" if he cut a fraction of them.. it'd make me feel a bit more for it.

 

[Ivan Drago]

Hopefully Logan ends the Singer-verse better than Apocalypse did.

 

[Ivan Drago]

Time magazine ranked x-men apocalypse the worst movie of the year.

 

[psylockolussus]

Terrible!

Hopefully Logan ends the Singer-verse better than Apocalypse did.

So they would just ignore what was established on Dofp and Apocalypse especially if there's a 90 setting film?

this reminds me why I hate time magazine

Apocalypse brought to end bryan singer's vision of X-Men to end.the colorful costumes at end of film cemented it.despite the new timeline you can make the case it concludes Magneto's journey if you watch films X-Men,X2,last stand,
FC,DOFP,and finally apocalypse.

Personly I view singerverse as ones directed or produced by singer-X-men,X2,FC,DOFP,and Apocalypse.

The next X-Men film will be whole different ballgame and very unpredicable.everything depends on who replaces Singer.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Time magazine ranked x-men apocalypse the worst movie of the year.

That's absurd...

 

[Ivan Drago]

That's absurd...

I didn't care for Apocalypse at all but I agree. Lol it's not even the worst comicbook movie of the year. The two WB/DC train wrecks released this year were worse.

 

[Stan Lee]

Time magazine ranked x-men apocalypse the worst movie of the year.

Here their reasoning.

This film’s true crime was wasting some of the most sought-after talent in Hollywood. Why cast Oscar Isaac only to hide him inside the shell of a giant blue turtle? Michael Fassbender only to force him to try to add emotional heft to the most cliché scenes? Poor Jennifer Lawrence can practically be seen counting down the minutes until she can flee to the set of a David O. Russell film.

Pretty weak reason to list it as the worst.

 

[DavidHaller]

no secret, I was super disappointed in X:A but this movie was really not worse than Suicide Squad or Batman vs. Superman. That's ridiculous.

Would love to know what are the political motivations for this decision of TIME magazine.

 

[psylockolussus]

They probably skipped the DC movies.

While Apocalypse not living up to expectations was less than expected compare to another bad DC movie, so maybe to some people that was more disappointing.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I get the feeling people wanted to like suicide squad more then X-Men: Apocalypse which was already getting its fair share of negativity before release over costumes, apocalypse design and stuff while suicide squad was basically the movie people wanted to be a huge surprise hit, to break the mold, be edgy because it was about villains and people were not happy when reviews came out that it wasn't great.

So X-Men is almost the whipping boy at the moment, the one people are against because FOX have shown they ain't trying to copy marvel and are doing pretty much their own thing with it while WB clearly are trying to copy marvel with suicide squad but they ain't doing as well so the DC fans are calling bias over it.

X-MEN apocalypse was pretty much 50/50 with the audience rating while marvels attempts were higher rated while DCs attempts much lower rated with apocalypse sitting in the middle under appreciated under the radar.

I rewatched some of the early trailers and TV-spots, and Cairo used to look a lot better than it did in the movie. The dark destroyed city looked kind of bad too, but not fake orange mess bad.

 

[Ivan Drago]

It's really bizarre how poor the green screen backgrounds look.

Agreed, the more I watch the movie the more come to appreciate it.

 

[def28]

Not a fan at all of Apocalypse, but Suicide Squad was easily the worst of the bunch this year imo.

Outside of Robbie I don't think there was anything done well. Smart to move Harley into another property.

 

[DavidHaller]

these DC movies are really trainwrecks...

I can appreciate a lot of scenes in "X:A" but Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad are utterly unwatchable. (no hyperbole)

 

[def28]

I can watch that Batman Warehouse fight on repeat. That scene is all sorts of awesome and easily the best Batman fight on film. That scene of Bruce Wayne going thorough the city at the intro of BVS is also well done.

Both BvS and Apocalypse have poor scripts. So I"ll say to each their own there. But visually I appreciate BvS more.

 

[Stan Lee]

I found BvS to be worse than Ang Lee's Hulk. Had the same problems: Tedious and took itself way too seriously. In addition to having a very sloppy script.
