An abrupt end. And the worst thing about it? Nobody cares. Thats why it's tracking to underperform. People have bad X-Men movie fatigue and it's not good for the brand.
Thats what I've been saying all these years. Such a shame for this series, to last 20 years to end with such a dud and underperforming film. It really feels like foX just gave when they hired Kinberg to direct a X-Men film.An abrupt end. And the worst thing about it? Nobody cares. Thats why it's tracking to underperform.

I wish they continued with the OT cast after DOFP. I mean, that's what I thought they were going to do with the way DOFP ended. The finale to the Fox-Men franchise should be wayyy bigger than this.
I just. I-I can't

Yea pretty much what I've been saying. Xavier can't seem to learn the right lessons. He's always on the extreme ends. DOFP taught him to have hope. What does he do after the 10 years between films? He's got his rose-coloured glasses on, thinking the world has accepted his kind. He doesn't even seek out "Scott, 'Storm,' and Jean" like the man from the future told him to do. Of course Mystique knows better, she always seems to. See: Dark Phoenix.
Haha That's so true. Again, Kinberg needs a marathon-watch of all of his movies before he puts pen to paper. He needs a reminder what he's written before.
They seem hellbent on not having Scott, Storm and Jean as the first students because they would've been too young then. However, Moira 2.0? Yes Please! Beast inventing Cerebro? Yessir! Mystique as Xavier's sister??? OMG YAAAAS!
Yup. And the X-Men franchise started the golden age of CBMS. Even Feige pays his respect to the franchise for that accomplishment. It's sad that this franchise is about to go out, not with a bang but a barely intelligible whimper that nobody will hear.
That wasn't gonna happen and would have been a bad move since the Ot cast/characters still had potential to evolve for future films and for others, to redeem themselves. That would have been like Sony rebooting Spider-Man after just 3 films, with the Amazing Spider-Man movies, too early and didn't resonate as well compare to the original films. First Class underperformed at the box office and a sequel to it without the ot cast wouldn't have the same hype compare to what we got in 2014. Also, given that the buzz of Dofp mostly came from the ot cast returning, a movie featuring the ot cast should have been made especially after Dofp. The audience didn't want a reboot or a replacement cast.
That would have been preferable. But I guess Fox wanted to have their cake and eat it too hence why we got such an odd mishmash of characters in FC (to save not using anybody in the OT) And unfortunately, First Class didn't make a huge splash at the box-office. The X-Franchise was still dealing with the fallout of a disappointing conclusion to the OT and the disastrous result of Wolverine Origins.
People loved X-men: Origins Wolverine trailer at SDCC in the summer of 2008 too. Fans loving a clip that no one else has seen is not unique.
"Diversity of thought?" Weren't you the one who made fun of the people who liked Apocalypse??
