How should the X-Men in the MCU be done in your own opinion?
I think it would be neat if the MCU started with the original line-up and gradually evolved into the Claremont Era.

I think it would be neat if the MCU started with the original line-up and gradually evolved into the Claremont Era.
Start at the beginning of the Claremont era. Reference the shitty 60's era as needed.
Make it the 90s animated show line-up.
No wolverine for a long time, let the other X-Men have center stage
Also Cyclops was right
yeah, the 60s version is really underrated
Whatever they do, DO NOT MAKE THE X-MEN TEENAGERS.
Teenage X-Men have *never*, *ever*, *EVER* been popular. EVER.
First half of the movie can present the beginnings, and then they can do a fast forward of sorts
>X-Men Evolution
>Original X-Men
Disgusted by your taste
Yeah, especially New Mutants, X-Force, New X-Men...
Original X-Men weren't popular though. The series was in reprints for years due to doing badly than other Marvel stuff.
keep the x-men out of the MCU, they've never been a good fit aside from some individual characters
Which is not true b t w
but nobody cares at this point, it became a meme
>X-Men evolution
>Spiderman was a teenage hero for years
>Teen Titans
Yeah, especially Wolverine. I hate the idea of Wolverine as an Avenger
X-Force weren't teens. New Mutants was never popular.
X-Men were shit until the mid 70's.
Which is why it lasted for 100 issues? You know what was never popular? Luke Cage, Iron Fist, OG Captain Marvel, Black Captain Marvel, OG GOTG, West Coast Avengers, Savage She-Hulk, Omega the Unknown, Champions, Man-Thing, Hellstorm and so on
They should have it follow strong guy's rise fo power and then become an X-Factor movie that mostly ignores the x men. Just follow the all new x factor series
>X-Men Evolution
You mean that show nobody outside of fetishfags and pedos actually watched? I vaguely remember it.
Here we go, here it is that faggot again!
It lasted long for the same reason Generation X lasted a while, because it was coasting on the curtails of the hugely popular mainline X-Men titles. In reality, nobody actually cares about it.
Is this bait? Aside from Spidey the younger X-men have been some of the most successful teenage Marvel characters. And then on top of that there's X-men Evolution.
>here it is that faggot again!
Were your hands too busy jerking off to feet to type properly?
Yeah, especially nobody cared about the Sienkiewicz era. Nice that you mention Generation X which is probably the second fan-favorite book
Make the X-Men teenagers and have Wolverine as a teacher like the X-Men Evolution cartoon.
>Whatever they do, DO NOT MAKE THE X-MEN TEENAGERS.
I've heard in the rumor mill they might be doing this. The casting call for Professor X and Magneto is going for a minimum age of 35 to 55. Even Wolverine will be getting the treatment.
>Popular enough to make X-23 their own character in the comics
The show had shit tons to offer including probably the most interesting take on characters like Nightcrawler and Kitty
Yes. It doesn't make my point invalid, though.
It's Disney. Watch them do exactly this.
I still miss New X-men: Academy from before House of M.
Nobody likes Twinkcrawler. Go back to your prison cell, Singer.
>X-Men: Evolution has received mostly positive reviews from critics and is constantly hailed as one of the best superhero animated series of all time.
>The series ran for a total of four seasons (52 episodes) from November 4, 2000 until October 25, 2003 on Kids' WB, which has made it the third longest-running Marvel Comics animated series, behind only Fox Kids' X-Men and Spider-Man animated series.
-Wikipedia
This
Yeah, despite the production problems, which kinda halted the show after the third season. If not for that we would probably have more seasons
>Wikipedia article edited by an X-Men Evolution fan with a DeviantArt page that's filled mostly with edits of screengrabs of Kitty Pryde's feet
I believe you
Contrarians go away!
I agree of that first part but adult Kurt still beats out teen Kurt in terms of being an interesting character.
Jesus christ, you don't even have a point, go fuck yourself in your fat fucking ass
Pryde of the X-Men > Wolverine and the X-Men > X-Men > X-Men guest appearance in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends > Motion Comics > That crummy X-Men Japanese OAV with no actual animation > X-Men Evolution
That's because one was a children's show and one was a film made for young adults - adults, so if they made a film with that audience and had teenage x-men, I could see it happening
>X-Men: Evolution has received mostly positive reviews from critics and is constantly hailed as one of the best superhero animated series of all time.
There's no sources in that Wikipedia article.
but pryde of the x-men was too much like M.A.S.K., GIJOE and Transformers. It was too 80s and it dated horribly, albeit I wouldn't mind more episodes
I'll have you know, my ass is quite skinny. But don't go getting any ideas, fetishfag.
too late
I would argue that it wasn't enough like M.A.S.K, G.I. Joe and Trasnformers. And wasn't 80s enough!
I liked that Magneto was an evil-for-evils-sake villain instead of the sympathetic bitch he's usually portrayed as. It was refreshing to see.
Damn you, damn you to hell and back! It did have the best animation out of all X-Men shows, though
Implementing X-Men and even the Fantastic 4 will be no-brainer and no issue here.. The question is how will you implement Mutants on a global scale into the MCU? That's a tough question. How are we going to ask what the Mutants have been doing through all 22 MCU films? Now to think of it, implementing the Fantastic 4 shouldn't be that hard because the premise of the origin story of F4 isn't really that hard. They go to space, cosmic rays hit them and they turn superhuman.. Easy. But the Mutants as a whole? Really going to be tough. So I'm going to make a safe assumption that Fantastic 4 will be the first movie being released and then the X-Men stuff afterwards.
In comics, the mutants were in hiding for years. 22 movies, but how long is the timeline? Do MCU movies also use sliding timescale?
>In comics, the mutants were in hiding for years.
I'm pretty sure this is what Disney is going to do with X-Men's MCU. But how about the troublemaker Mutants that break the law though? Or maybe I'm thinking way too much into it.
Yup, but then again, mutants being troublemaker might be a good reason to population hating them, especially if it increases to a bigger problem. Keep also in mind that except for morrison era, the x-men were never a majority, or huge in amount. The mutants in marvel were somewhere around thousands, not millions. It was the fear that suddenly something new emerged, and something that could be potentially destructive
Without a doubt MCU's X-Men will be a younger cast. It's obvious why though because the more younger they are the more appeal they are to the masses. More money for them.
>It's obvious why though because the more younger they are the more appeal they are to the masses
Oh no, I can actually see this flawed line of logic going through a meddling, untalented Disney exec's head. We're doomed, aren't we?
Ok, I can see this now and makes sense. I'm pretty sure "Mutant" sightings will probably be on-par with Bigfoot and UFO sightings. Mutants can easily be a rare occurrence amongst humans.
>New Professor X is black to symbolize X as their version of Martin Luthor King of the MCU
How mad would you guys be?
this . Claremont is the way to go
Exactly. There was even a marvel comic about this, called "Conspiracy" (only two issues). AFAIR it was also related to the Marvels mini-series
Depends on whether or not they give Wolverine his mask and hire a manlet to play him or not.
I want a gay black female Professor X.
Considering that Chuck is a jerk, I could see him becoming a black dude out of spite
Just do it exactly like it was in the comics, please. The 70's X-Men were already "muh diversity". You don't need to change a thing.
also transgender and muslim
>They will be teenagers.
>They will be related to Tony Stark or an Infinity Gem.
>Their mentor (Professor X) will be a woman. >Iceman will be gay.
>Beast will be the funny one making jokes in the worst moment.
>Angel will not exist because he's a rich handsome white guy with a beautiful mutation.
>There will be more women (Kitty? Storm?) and at least a black guy (Bishop?)
I'm fine if he's played by Idris Elba
>he didn't read the classic Power Man and Iron Fist
Shit taste
Evolution was pretty popular when it was airing, and pic related shows that teen heroes going school still has a surprisingly large audience
Well, that goes without saying
Where in the hell did I imply that I didn't read it?
I hope they have the good sense to realize you don't need a black guy when you already have Storm, who already meets the diversity quota (doubly so for being female).
It's popular in Japan, not worldwide
>keep the x-men out of the MCU
The ONLY patrician and intelligent response in this, and any other thread that deals with this topic.
>New Professor X is black
I'm ok with that only if it's the guy from Captain Philips.
>There will be more women
This is fine as long as they hire some sexy big-titty women to play Storm, Jean, Rogue, and Psylocke. Psylocke must also show buttcheek. And have a nice butt.
He is talking about the original X-Men, the truly popular ones are the Claremont ones. It doesn't have anything to do with the popularity of young superheroes as a concept.
I call him Ashy McBlackBlack. He looks an ACME device malfunctioned on him.
Where do people get this idea that DISNEY is run by SJW? Because they made ONE (1) movie about a female character out of 21?
Disney is the most conservative company you could possibly think of.
Just make him an empathetic white man and the loons will rage
It's one of the most popular ongoing anime/manga series here in the States as well, user
I mean, discounting the films and looking at just the classically known X-men, really only a few of them are consistently portrayed as full-grown adults. That being Wolverine, Storm, Beast, and Xavier.
Claremont era or Jim lee era. Nothing else is acceptable.
>DO NOT MAKE THE X-MEN TEENAGERS
o god it hadn't even occurred to me until just now that this was even a possibility. And knowing Disney it's probably likely. Fuck.
It's MCU, they'll use arc names at best, events gonna be completely different.
Have Mystique be a bad guy. Or better yet, never use Mystique again.
I'd love it if the MCU would make the X-Men a semi-respected group that the world turns to to deal with mutant threats. They could do their thing taking in mutants to help them learn how to control thier power; but also help them use thier powers to benefit mankind. Either by doing jobs too dangerous for normal humans, or serving as X-Men.
At the same time, the X-Men would have fight to keep public opinions on mutants positive. Fighting the brotherhood's message of genetic superiority, dealing with fearmongers who believe that mutants are trying to infiltrate and destroy our way of life, and so on.
Also, dial back the mutie hatred from 11 to 5. The Avengers have made people sort of comfortable with people with powers. Some even hope to get powers themselves. Others are afraid of how much destruction and death an emerging race of superpowered beings can cause. They look to the X-Men to handle it, but they don't completely think they have their best interests in mind. You can have a few religious nutjobs call them demons, but keep them restricted to the Purifiers.
Lastly, and people are going to call me dumb for suggesting this, but the whole "Homo Superior " thing is going to have to be left ambiguous with two schools of thought. Xavier believes that mutants are humans with special genetic adaptations. They are the first signs that humanity is evolving to catch up with species like the Skrulls and Asgardians. He believes that in several decades, everyone with have mutant powers. Magneto believes mutants are a new species that must fight it's human oppressors to truly be free to prosper.
Tell me how wrong I am.
>I'd love it if the MCU would make the X-Men a semi-respected group that the world turns to to deal with mutant threats.
Already boring. It already lacks tension
Original team all the way
I'd support it, Mutie discrimination always being treated as a 1:1 comparison of real-life hatred against minorities that never really evolves past the status quo gets really tiring after a while
I like Xavier and Magneto outright disagreeing on what Mutants are.
First movie threat should play up on 'people want powers"-start us off with the U-Men.
as a lifelong X-fag, for better and more often, for worse, I like it, it would be new, fresh, and x-citing
Read the rest of the post. The tension would come from trying to keep pubic opinion positive despite things like Magneto and Apocalypse fucking things up.
You could even have stories where the X-men have to decide if they want to take in a young mutant who could hurt them politically.
For example, a mutant blows up a synagogue. He has been found to have made anti-Semitic posts online. The mutant claims that his powers manifested when he was near the synagogue and that he never meant to hurt anyone. Everyone else thinks he decided to blow up the building and everyone inside the moment he got his powers. The X-men have to decide whether or not they will help him and if mutantkind can survive the consequences of their decision.
The X-Men would obviously help him, nonetheless it certainly would be something else from the usual shit. Ironically, it was Bendis who started the idea of MJWs in marvel universe
3 X-Men movies, all of them are set in the past, the 80's, 90's and 00's respectively.
each of them follow Cyclops and Phoenix as main characters leading a different team in each movie. for example, you'll have Nightcrawler and Colossus in 1989, Rogue and Gambit in 1996, Emma and Armor in 2005.
time travel shenanigans transport the X-Men to the present day. Scott and Jean are still in their early 30s and they recruit a team of new and old mutants.
Wolverine is an immortal monster so he can be a regular member
every team should reflect their current decade as well as the plot and villain they're adapting but you can take liberties. for the 80's it should be God Loves, Man Kills, 90's the Onslaught saga or Days of Future Past, for 2005 it should be Astonishing X-Men.
NOTES:
-forget about Dark Phoenix.
-the plots will be based on comic book stories but the recurrent theme is about the mutant phobia through the decades as seen from the perspective of Scott and Jean.
-let Wolverine be the breakout character but never center the story around him. these are ensemble movies.
-mutants in the MCU aren't as prominent like in the comics, that's why Jean and Scott are always saving and recruiting new mutants.
-Charles and Magneto die in the first movie, Scott and Jean should not be dragged into their old man bickering.
-no "fight for peace between humans and mutants" bullshit, the X-men are survivors.
-do not use mutants that are too normal-looking. avoid a situation like in X-Men Apocalypse were all the students in the mansion look like regular kids.
pls no more time travel
6 or 7 movie Harry Potter-style drama series with every movie being a new year. Start with the O5 and Storm, Xavier, Magneto, Banshee, Magneto, Warbird as teachers/mentors and add new mutants every movie as a freshman class. Release them every two years with spin offs ie Wolverine in intermittent years. Start it out with mutants being almost completely unknown by humans but have it gradually unravel and develop as the new generation reaches puberty and it can't be kept secret anymore.
O5 being the first freshman class, not teachers.
Star Wars
They'd probably have to dial back the political themes big time since the X-men would be interpreted as the intersectional coalition of diversity and in that context Professor X would be considered "problematic" and Magneto the most obvious antisemitic caricature ever.
>wanting the X-Men in the MCU
WHY?
So they can be humiliated and side-lined by Captain Marvel?
So Rouge can end Carol
>implying they wouldn’t have Carol kill Rogue
Southern people are bad remember? They aren’t progressive enough to be allowed to live.
>Southern people are bad remember?
This is true. Fuck people who live in landlocked states. Human garbage.
>Southern people are bad remember?
Rogue will be Mexican
I like it a lot.
Wouldn't it be smarter to make her black tho? They make up a pretty sizable chunk of Mississippi's population.
For the love of god, just don't put Wolverine in the first movie
>It's popular in Japan, not worldwide
I'm pretty sure it's worldwide
False
>3 X-Men movies, all of them are set in the past, the 80's, 90's and 00's respectively.
Stop. It
Normies on Twitter are making posts about how "lol im such a weeb posts" with my hero academia
Fuck off.
Basically, there were always mutants, but very few- they could even point to Scarlet Witch as a mutant, I guess to back up the claim that they were there all along. However, more recently (when the first movie comes out) there was a wave of awakenings which brings the issue to the forefront and makes people start labeling them as "mutants".
That allows people like Xavier and Magneto to exist with their backstory mostly intact while also explaining why it was never a big issue before.
>thicc Latina Rogue
Want
That's not changing anything about how it's popular worldwide. You can just look at domestic sales numbers
