What Mistakes Did The X-Men Saga Make To Become So Terrible?
Movie adaptations of comic books have been a hit on the big screen for several years. They can imitate or modify existing originals. One of the superhero movie franchises that got a lot of attention before Marvel combined its massive piece of cinema under the cinematic universe (MCU) was the X-Men saga, which runs from the 2000s.
Even though the original X-Men comics were a big hit in the late 1980s and early 1990s, fans of the series never imagined that they would be able to see their beloved mutants appear on film so soon. so. The success of the three X-Men films has paved the way for more superhero films in the future. But while the MCU has swiftly built itself as a vast and robust movie franchise, with each work linking the layers, the X-Men, on the other hand, have ruined the initial success after 20 years. As if messing with the timeline wasn't bad enough, the X-Men movies now don't care about the plot, no matter how ridiculous it becomes.
The first three X-Men films, which ran from 2000 to 2006, built a pretty detailed mutant universe with major characters such as Magneto, Professor X, Mystique, and others. More crucially, the three films in this trilogy have a tight narrative that follows the passage of time, providing an especially cohesive experience of the first two chapters, X-Men and X2. When it comes to The Last Stand, everything appears to have blurred. The Last Stand's flaw is that it crams too many people into a fairly rough finale. So, if a brand's three most crucial characters have been killed off, how can more movies be made? It's simple: Prequels.
Instead of continuing from The Last Stand's ending, the post-2006 X-Men films re-enact prior events by re-establishing the timeline. X-Men Origins: Wolverine takes us back to Wolverine's "young" days, but we shouldn't talk about it because it's a big flop. When it comes to leveraging the young Magneto and Professor X, X-Men: First Class is seen as the mutant series' savior. Even if things appear to be moving in the wrong direction, director Matthew Vaughn still got everything back on track. Fans adore First Class, and the cast has received many praises. But that's when everything started to go wrong.
First Class is a nice film. But instead of focusing on these characters and extending the plot, Fox decided to release a standalone Wolverine film in 2013. Everything can still be saved if Fox evolves into two parallel tale lines at this time. The Wolverine's post-credits sequence, on the other hand, aims to tie into the X-Men's storyline. Days of Future Past (2014) seeks to tell a wider story to the viewer once more. It almost came close to succeeding, but just "almost."
Days of Future Past is a time-traveling adventure aimed at correcting past errors, but it risks becoming an even larger flop by further undermining the X-Men's timeline even more chaotic. Director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg deleted the continuation of The Last Stand and X-Men: Origins by going back in time to the 1970s.
Psylocke is a young mutant in X-Men: The Last Stand, which takes place in the early twenty-first century. Psylocke reappears ten years later, this time in the film Apocalypse, which is set in 1983. Warren Worthington III, Emma Frost, and Cyclops were among the characters that shared the curse of being "forever young.". That shows that terrible movies still have an impact on the cinematic success that has already been created.
There is a two-decade gap between the events of First Class and Apocalypse. You may argue that they can stay young for longer because they are mutant, but how do you explain Michael Fassbender's character Magneto in the Dark Phoenix is just 8 years younger than Ian McKellen's character Magneto given the movie is set in 1992?
The succeeding X-Men films dare to ruin the work that the original trilogy accomplished, which is devastating. The X-Men directors made the timeline even... more incorrect by traveling back in time to rectify it. Not only is Dark Phoenix full of old tropes, but the Magneto-Xavier pair, who appeared to have reconciled after Apocalypse, fighting each again for some reason. With the deal Disney has made, X-Men can finally return to Marvel home, and it is anticipated that they will be able to untangle the mess of the mutant timeline.
