Ryan Reynolds will only last as long as it takes them to find an actress for Gwenpool. Then Deadpool will be replaced, no explanation, no final appearance, just gone. And it will be all about the Gwenpool and her incredibly shitting writing and forced agenda, which is a shame because the character is actually pretty decent with lots of potential.
So has Human Torch. Iron Man's armor has been taken over. I believe even Thor and Hercules have lost control at one point or another, and an out of control literal god like Thor or Herc is a hell of a lot scarier than most mutants. Yet people still love Torch, and Stark, and Thor and Herc and don't fear them, which is where the disconnect comes in.

Gwenpool was one of the best written Marvel books in years, and it was batshit crazy, not exactly pushing any agenda. What are you on about?
It was to be expected.
Iam glad it appears they are leaving Deadpool alone which is a smart move to make to just leave that franchise the way it is.
TBH iam quite excited what Paul Fiege and the MCU will do with the X-men franchise and i do believe this is the start of something good if they can recreate the MCU magic with the X-men and the Fantastic 4.
I'm down. X-Men is one of the only comic book movies I enjoy.
Hi Sephurik
I'm talking about when Disney gets its hand on her, they will strip away all that is good about her and just make her another 'Screw you fans, comics and comic movies aren't made for you, here is the political social agenda flavor of the day' character. It is going to be like the new damn Doom movie with the actress saying 'Who needs Doom Guy' in a fucking Doom movie!
I wouldn't mind more Phoenix saga movies if they were actually done right. I hold no hope for the one coming out soon. The problem with the Phoenix movies they did before, and now, is that they never let Jean be Phoenix for a while. They just skip right to Dark Phoenix. For the Phoenix saga to work there has to be a movie where she becomes Phoenix, a movie where she is Phoenix, a movie where she becomes Dark Phoenix, and finally a movie where she is Dark Phoenix and dies. The epic story just doesn't work in a 2 hour bite.
The first two X-Men films were done relatively well. The end of the second film Jean basically became Phoenix. But then Last Stand jumped right to Dark Phoenix and didn't even managed to do THAT right. Had the third film let Jean just BE Phoenix and maybe near the tail end you see signs of her losing control, and THEN do a Dark Phoenix movie, it probably would have been much better.

I am talking about future movie Gwenpool, whenever they decide to make her. They already ended her current comic series, Hell, Disney is thinking of ending comics all together because they don't make enough money. And given the choice between family friendly widest appeal movie or less marketable R rated films Disney will go for the money.
Like I've said before, everyone's fine with the police (Avengers) having high powered weaponry, but they freak out at the thought of any random citizen having not a semi-automatic but a weapon of mass destruction in the palm of their hand.
Fantastic Four is a public group. They do philanthropic work, they advance science, they're featured in magazines for their work to advance humanity.
The Avengers are treated as a worldwide super-police group, protecting the world and humanity from super powered villains.
Mutants.........are teenagers with nuclear weapons in their back pocket.
If you look at some of the irrationality in the real world, I don't see how the irrationality of accepting one thing while persecuting another, similar, thing is a stretch.
One of the big central issues with mutants was always the fear that you might secretly be a mutant. It's why it was used as an allegory for race in the '70s, like racists finding out they had a black ancestor. It's why it was used as an allegory for LGBT people, who might "pass" for "normal". And so forth.
Characters like we have in the MCU are either overtly nonhuman (Thor, Vision), the cause of a crazy scientific accident/experiment that can't be replicated (Spider-man, Captain America), or they have fancy tech that is what gives them powers (Iron Man, Ant-man).
Mutants don't fit into that. They're humans, just not "like us". There's no triggering accident; it could happen to you. There's no tech involved.
The same is true of the Inhumans, obviously, but the Inhumans exist solely because Marvel sold rights to Fox for the X-men and mutants and Fox decided to not play nice so Marvel created the Inhumans as a "fuck you".
If they bring the X-men into Marvel, I'd lay solid money that they play up the Terrigen global release, and they're all Inhumans now. They've laid that groundwork, and it's less confusing overall, and basically changes nothing that matters.
See above.
It's the deep-seated fear that you might be a mutant, or maybe one of your kids will be. It isn't rational, but bigotry never is.
Plus, there's the Sokovia Accords. Lots of people AREN'T fine with Spider-man being able to rip a building in half when he's angry his girlfriend dumped him. They want to know exactly who he is and track him so he can be put down if he "goes bad". This was a big enough issue that they framed an entire film around it.
I would do
Storm - Halle Berry
Magneto - unchanged
Pf.Xavier - unchanged
Wolverine - unchanged
Jean Grey - unchanged
Cyclops - anybody but current guy..
Beast - Ron Perlman (because fuck u hellboy reboot!)
Kitty pryde - Nina Dobrev
Mr. Sinister - Javier Bardem
Nope
