Dark Phoenix Tracking For Record Low X-Men Franchise Opening ( Below The Wolverine)
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
I would say I feel sorry for Fox going out so pathetically, but they dug this grave themselves by giving Kinberg total control over the X-Franchise.
It would've been way better if Deadpool 2 was the end of the Fox X-Men universe.

About what I expected. 2 release date changes and general lack of hype. Comes out a week after Godzilla, same week as secret life of pets and 2 weeks before Toy Story.
The Wolverine was actually a pretty good movie, even with the bizarre third act. Better than Apocalypse and what looks like Dark Phoenix.
I was in AWE of just how horrid Apocalypse was. Tremendously awful-but I still recommend seeing it just you can witness how horrible it is.
Not that it will make a world of difference, but taking X-Men out of the title was a truly baffling move.

Dalek my man, you don't like for Villains to spned a 1/3rd of the movie literally standing around?
Maybe with the eventual Marvel/Disney reboot Kinberg will get a third crack at fucking up the Dark Phoenix story.
Even scarier, the Fox-Marvel fans are so delusional they think if it makes money Marvel won't reboot the franchise.
Let's wait to actually see it before already writing it off. It could be surprisingly decent.

No, it can't be.
And even if it was (it can't), who cares? None of it matters.
There's one shot of Xavier laying on the ground surrounded by Apocalypse and the Horsemen-it looks like a cosplay photo from Comic-Con.
Well...
I'll be there. I guess.
I'll be there. I guess.
I'll be waiting for you. If you come here, you'll find me. I promise.
My only guess is, as others have said here, they're contractually obliged to.
I'm guessing it gets next to no marketing and Disney will want it to do bad.
And don't say "Disney will want to make money back". If they make a loss it probably won't be huge.
Who wouldn't want to see a movie where Apocalypse and his horse(wo)men are in a warehouse while Apocalypse waves his magic hand on them like jesus to design their costumes. Should of went further with that scene with Apocalypse being a conflicted costume designer constantly being conflicted about the color of the suits while finding the right tones that matched their eyes.
Ah so it's going out with a tiny fart expelled from its bloated corpse. Got it.
It's weird, because it makes total sense for Disney to take X-Men out of the title, but the decision was made long before the deal closed.
Not shocked at all.
1. It's going to suck.
2. The movie is going to be entirely inconsequential, as everybody knows that Disney is rebooting the X-Men as soon as they can shove them into the MCU.

It just might be worse than X3. It's crazy to think.
Still, Fox has two of the best films in the genre and one of the only three "masterpiece films" in all of comic book cinema, so there you go. They did alright.
People here talk like they churned out nothing but pure shit and it's pretty fucking baffling.
