If you never saw First Class you missed out on the best X-Men film. And Deadpool's the best apart from that and I don't think you've seen that either.

Yes, I know, sum1.
Again, I was very angry at the Fox X-Men franchise for their unfair treatment of Scott and Jean, and First Class was to me just another slap in the face, considering that Scott and Jean are supposed to be the "First Class," along with Hank, Bobby, and Warren. As it stood, the only member of the cast in First Class who was an actual original X-Man was Hank McCoy/Beast. All the other characters had been introduced years later. I mean, Havok on the X-Men before his brother, Cyclops?
Really? Talk about misrepresentation. I also didn't like Emma Frost being around back in the 60's, presumably when Scott was still just a kid.
I may be in the minority, but I actually liked Scott and Emma's relationship while it lasted because it gave Scott a storyline that didn't revolve around Jean for once, and allowed him to define himself for a time. Of course the relationship collapsed, but it did give Scott a story arc of his own that didn't involve him being defined by Jean. And now they have the teenage Scott and Jean from the past transported to the present day as a way of "starting over" with them, although they ended up getting Scott involved with Laura/X-23 briefly.
Cue the Cyclops/female Wolverine metaphors.
But because of Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, I've made my peace with Fox now that they've undone the damage they did to Scott and Jean somewhat, so I guess I'll eventually get around to watching First Class. And I definitely need to see Deadpool.
