Now that game night is over, over half a bottle is down, and I've successfully trolled my Sufjan mutuals - I think it's time for Dark Phoenix. https://twitter.com/a_benjamin/status/1245819964612915202
Before I start - I'm a life long X-Men fan who has mostly loved the movies but, like many, couldn't bring myself to watch this after the train wreck that was "Apocalypse" and, besides, what was the point after "Logan" anyway.
While I loved "Days of Future Past" this iteration has largely been a mess top to bottom. Except Quicksilver, somehow.
And Magneto, of course. I can't be too mad about a series that gave us this gif.

Can't really remember anything about the last one (aside from it being bad and somehow screwing up Psylocke) so I feel like I'm going in blind in terms of the team. Sansa is Jean I know but... Storm's there right? Maybe Beast. Probably Mystique for some godawful reason.
Already lost a follower. This bodes well. On with the show.
Wouldn't be an X-Men movie if the first line didn't include the word evolve.
I feel like I'd be a *little* more upset that I'd killed my parents but, then again, is be pretty psyched that I had super powers too.
So they're... government agents now?
THEY GAVE SCOTT A SPECIAL RIG TO SHOOT LASERS FROM THE BLACKBIRD
These costumes look extremely cheap...
Oh my God the x-women line is real. Wowowow.
It's honestly impressive how little fox ever understood these characters.
Why in the world would you have Beast's power able to be turned off and take away at least half of what makes him interesting??

DAZZLER!!! OH MY GOD!!! NO MATTER WHAT ELSE HAPPENS I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
Excuse me for soy facing there.
Getting the impression it's not very well written.
"She's POWERFUL"
"How do you mean?"
"I DONT KNOW THERES NO TIME ON TO THE NEXT SET PIECE"

For all the faults of "The Last Stand" I do remember the fight scene in the neighborhood where Xavier does was pretty cool.
Plus "I'm the juggernaut bitch!'
Remember that? A simpler time.

Why doesn't Xavier get a shitty costume? Rude tbh.
Can we stop tossing cars upside down in action movies please?
You're free now, Mystique. Your confused character arc has come to its pointless conclusion.
45 minutes in and I think Storm has had one line.
Nightcrawler maybe 3.
Absurd.

If Disney is gonna take over the world we better fucking get the Shi'ar one day.
What is with Fox's obsession with having large groups of random mutants with undefined powers not based on any established character if not disdain for its audience?
That little fight over a helicopter was suuuuuuper lame.
Between the wine, this movie, and this thread, I'm rethinking my entire life.
What the fuck.
What the fuck.
