That’s a genuine question by the way I’ve no idea how popular comic book wolverine is Probably a bit of both. Wolverine has always been a cash cow for the X-men in the comics though. He’s usually on every team, has his own solo titles, etc. I’ve never minded because I love him, but I can see why people would have Wolverine fatigue.

Heartofice Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Wolverine was always my favourite character growing up, he seemed to be far nastier and violent than all the other Xmen and as a adolescent teen that really appealed. It has become tiring how central he has become to both the comics and the movies, he actually isn't all that interesting outside of a few key stories.. mainly Xmen 2 and in Logan.

It's just a very forgettable, bland film. It's like if you removed the heart and wit from your average Marvel film. That's honestly how I feel though about most Marvel films: bland, witless, and forgettable. There are exceptions, but overall they have felt kinda 'meh.'

The Mother of The Others Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Until the xmen make an x rated movie they'll remain hypocrites. Their stuff is weird, too, like when a Shriner drives by in a tiny car, only with powers. And Apocalypse wasn't done right. So they can stay out of MCU. I'll make some calls. You're welcome.

If the Celestials are around and the MCU now own the rights to Galactus, I see that as a great in...Galactus as the one who tries to keep them in check, maybe he was the one that severed the head that eventually became Knowhere. I don't know what Gunn's plan for GotG 3 was but without him they could still make a movie featuring the GotG and FF against Galactus (Starlord being half Celestial and Ego's destruction being what draws him) and it would still seem a natural outgrowth of the first two movies. Also, how has no one referenced this yet? I really am hoping Galactus appears. He really can be a facisnating villain. He is neither good or evil, and oddly easy to sympathize with given his dilemma of having to devour worlds or starving to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Northman Reborn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Would love to see Hulk take on and beat up all the X-Men together as he did in the comic books. But Hulk is generally underpowered in the movies. He actually has unlimited strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve(like all hulk movies) only use savage Hulk version. In the comics, the hulk although not typically portrayed as genius, like Banner is intelligent, and there’s a lot of discussion of what the Hulk reveals about Banner’s psyche, and the Hulk even has his own family of well Hulks. I don’t know I just feel Disney in its movies wasted a character that had a lot of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I imagine Disney didn’t want to include the incestious hulk family, cause you know, incest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligula_K3 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yeah, the X-Men and the issues they face make no sense in a universe of other superheroes. For that reason alone I don't like the idea of them being integrated into the MCU. Besides that, there's also the fact that Fox has shown it can produce excellent X-Men movies. The MCU has had some very good movies, especially lately when directors have been given more room to experiment (Guardians, Thor: Ragnorak and Black Panther come to mind), but it usually plays things safe and very rarely makes great movies. Spiderman: Homecoming was fun, but it was no Spiderman 2 or Into the Spiderverse (to its credit, it also was no Amazing Spiderman 2). The X-Men series has had some bad misses, but it also tries new things, and that's given us some of the best superhero movies of all time: X2, Days of Future Past, Logan. In general I don't feel the need to have every superhero ever come under the control of the MCU and interact with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
