Now, but she will appear in DD 3rd season, from what I've heard.
X-Men franchise was always super messy. 3rd movie flopped and got bad reviews, but they still did that awful Wolverine movie for some reason. First Class was bad IMO, but it kinda revived the interest in X-Men and they decided not to reboot original franchise, which wasn't a wise desicion, even though, I respected them for it. Second Wolverine was good until the very end... That adamantium robot killed the whole movie, lol. Overall I like most X-Men movies sans first Wolverine, X3 and Apocalypse. What I liked about Body Of Proof is that they didn't try to ship lead male and female characters. While Dana was obviously older, the guy they casted was looking the same age is her and I was surprised they didn't go there. 3rd season was bad though. Too over the top. |

Why do they do that? If you're doing something different, stick to it. When has changing everything in desperation work for any show that was on the bubble? __________________

I never got the fuss about First Class. Even mine friends who are not comic book movies fans (they shaded Avengers, how could they? lol) liked it. It really felt like a movie for kids... They were lucky they got some good actors, because the story, CGI and absolutely everything was awful.
I heard a lot of bad stories about Bryan Singer being attractive to very young boys and from his casting choices... I beleive them. Talentless twinks everywhere. That Magneto wife and daughter death scene though... Worse than Man of Steel Superman father death scene. |

Hey more casting news on Star Trek Discovery! Jason Isaacs as the Captain (well, they're ****ed now ) and Sonequa Martin-Green (from TGW!) as some officer Lots of pretty girls in that Star Trek for some reason. But hey I'll check it for Michelle Yeoh Quote:

And even directors like him have little to say about casting. He probably was consulted but the studio calls the shots, especially when it's about casting pretty boys. The first Xmen had serious actors who did the characters justice. And he was the director too. Quote:

Her movie with Miles Teller about her dead child was very good though.
Well, I never heard such stories about Neil Patrick or other actors, but surely you can say anything about anyone, but I really doubt studio pushed him to cast unknown actors. McAvoy was kinda happening and so was Lawrence, but actors who played Nightcrawler and Havoc? Why will studio push them on him? I hope that rumors ain't true, for the sake of young actors, but I tend to believe them. I actually like McAvoy as Xavier and Fassbender as Magneto. I like Lawrence but she is not fierce Mystique from comics, though she wasn't in the script also. All Apocalypse actors were awful though. But it's not like original actors were amazing, they were just okay for the most part. Though, it was mostly script that didn't give them a chance to shine. Yep, that scene still makes me laugh. First of all, they both got killed by one bullet. Secondly, magneto can freaking fly. Take them to the hospital! Stop crying. |

And they look just like the characters in the comics. Neither are exactly the Vin Diesel type. Quote:

Oscar Isaac is a great actor but Apocalypse was just so ****ing boring and lame, even Meryl Streep couldn't have done anything with it. And they kept asking him to "make him bigger" which really ends up in a pantomime rather than a performance Now, the youngins were absolutely lame. Even Sophie Turner who is passable in GoT was terrible. And I'm not even getting into what they did to poor Psylocke. After months of hyping Olivia Munn's casting... and giving her nothing to do. Ugh. Quote:

I'm not sure teenage girls will lust over some twinks, though, they lust over bands like one direction, so, why not?
Why do I believe them? Well, intuition. But I'm not gonna say my friends or other people he is child molester, until there is proof. Lawrence becoming big surely had an impact on the whole trilogy. They wouldn't use her as much and maybe Apocalypse would've been better. Oscar Isaac is good, but he really is small for Apocalypse. Though, outfit designs were awful all together. Apocalypse in movies was just nothing compared to comics one and while it can be applied to many marvel movies, including Avengers, most of villains at least felt massive. |

Phoenix and Apocalypse sagas deserve trilogies, not solo movies. They are just too big and complicated for one movie. That's what I like about MCU movies, they just don't do something, they are building up to it and taking their time. And even then, sometimes it feels like it's too fast...
I have to disagree about sentinels, they were amazing in DOFP. They were a real deal, unlike original trilogy where they were used as some training program. |

I liked them in DOFP. Well, I liked the scenes they were involved in. I just meant that they should have been way more important to the script. As it was, they were just an excuse for some time travel BS to get Wolverine into a First Class cast movie Quote:

I love love love Grace and Frankie. I didn't think I'd enjoy it so much but season 2 is even better than S1. I saw a trailer for S3 and I can't wait I have seen Rita but I read good things so I'll check it out. Right now I'm catching up on Falling Water. It's a USA Network show so I avoided it when it aired but it turns out it's a really intense and well written show so I'm trying to make it last. __________________

I think they missed opportunity to use Sentinels in the very first movie. In comics Magneto and Charles were like Malcolm X and MLK (I read about it, I'm not that smart, lol) and while being different they have the same enemy. In movies Magneto was that crazy killer from the very start and we haven't seen why. Using sentinels to kill mutants would've been by far better and smarter than creating a machine that will make everyone a mutant, lol. But after first movie it was just too late to use them.
But, considering small budget, I'm sure that sentinels would've looked so dated by now, soooo maybe it was a good choice not to use them? Btw, what do you think about Batman 90's movies (including 1989 one) and Spider Man original triliogy? |

After that, they just went from bad to worse. Poor Clooney is so embarrassed by that movie As for Spiderman, even as a kid, I was bored to tears by the comics (no, seriously, I cried ). Geeky kid turns secret superheroes and has trouble balancing his secret identity with his mundane teenage life of trying to get the girl? Yawn. I guess I was missing the appropriate Y chromosome to identify with that due So yeah I wasn't a fan either. I despise Sam Raimi so I wasn't surprised that his movies were so cartoonish and infantile. I don't really think they improved on them with the first reboot and I doubt the second one will be any better. Wow. Two reboots in 15 years. Maybe they should just give up __________________
