The X-Men series (2000-2019)

The third one is just emotionally numb—pure ice. Honestly, almost everyone dies for absolutely no reason other than the fact that Jean lost her cool and everything went to hell.😳

I mean, if it had been Magneto or someone like that...

This is easily the most idiotic and completely useless entry in the entire X-Men series—honestly, it feels like someone ran out of ideas or cash and just rushed this through production to get it over with. They could have just given every single character their own standalone movie instead; then we might actually have had a decent franchise.
I don't get it—Wolverine is such an unlikable character. Why on earth do so many people identify with him?? 🤷

By the way—I was just browsing through IMDb, and apparently, they have it listed that the next X-Men film (which would be the sequel to First Class) is slated for a 2014 release.🤷

I suppose it’s because, in these movies, he’s pretty much the only character who actually seems to have blood in his veins, whereas everyone else tends to act like they're programmed robots.

The "only" one? — Is Magneto a robot now? Captain Picard too? 🤷

The characters feel incredibly two-dimensional, particularly those residing at Xavier's school. They just listen and follow along, appearing as harmonious and uniform as a group of Smurfs. I suppose Wolverine is the only one who actually stands out from that mold.
And as for Magneto... does anyone here actually feel any desire to identify with him?

1 — that was simply the writers' and producers' vision—so there it is... (if you look at today's military—equally obedient, equally uniform)
2 — I’d much rather have his abilities—not his personality—than those of Wolverine... and if you think about it, magnetism is actually possible today, whereas we still don't have a Legolas capable of tearing through concrete and steel without leaving a scratch.🙂

I am reading this post and finding it difficult to believe my eyes.

That's actually the plan. 🤣

I don't relate to him personally, but I like him fine. He's the only character in the X-Men series, X2, or The Last Stand who actually has a personality—everyone else feels totally hollow. (Except Magneto and Raven).

Yeah, and they've got that Wolverine spin-off called The Wolverine coming in 2013. 🙂

We went from X2 to First Class, then hit that squad movie, and finally the trilogy—though they really managed to butcher the third one.

Read it again. ☕

Who’s your favorite X-Men character? For me, it’s definitely this guy.

I really liked the first two, even if I was bummed about Gambit being missing and Cyclops not getting enough screen time.
