    I hardly find multiple continuity errors nitpicking, but maybe I can just follow a story better than you can.

    Generally I invest in story, not just SPOLSIONS, so when the story is neglected or overwritten I notice. I just can't turn off my brain and be one of the popcorn eating masses.

    I haven't seen the new X-Men, so I cannot comment. The super hero movie trend is nearing the end of its life IMO.

    I'm pretty sure Singer said to basically ignore the Wolverine movie.

    DOFP was meant to reboot the series but in a really clever way.

    First Class was really a reboot on its own and DOFP is actually the First Class sequel.


    They recognized that Origins: Wolverine and X3 were garbage and should have ever happened.

    How do you fix it?

    Make a movie where none of the stuff in the original three films and Wolverine never happened.

    The original 3 films and Wolverine were just "possible" outcomes from the First Class time line but all of that has been changed due to Wolverine traveling back in time.

    The DOFP sequel X Men:Apocalypse will also likely feature time travel further altering the time line so a lot of inconstancies that exist due to DOFP might be tied up with Apocalypse.


    Still, they basically said ignore X3 and Wolverine which is kind of an easy way out but I'm glad because those movies are horrible and don't exist in my eyes anyway.

    How do you figure?

    As a genre it has always been around.

    Are you not seeing the numbers these movies are bringing in? They are having money fights over at Fox, Disney and WB. They are swimming in gold like Scrooge McDuck.

    It might lose some steam but kids and adults alike are not about to stop liking superheros anytime soon.

    They are cultural icons.


    It might dip for a couple years but it always comes back. It is cyclical.

    I have to admit that I'm a Fassbender fan boy. Ever since Prometheus and X-Men First Class. I did watch The Counselor with him in it the night before last and it sucked.

    I heard The Counselor was god awful...

    And I personally hated Prometheus. But I do like Fassbender.

    I didn't like Prometheus either but I am not big on the Alien franchise.
