9 things everyone gets wrong with X-men (video)

So Tom Cruise should have been cast as wolverine? Got it.

a 10 minute video?
How about you just summarize the crap. No one's watching that.

I'm not watcing a 10-minute video but the problem is this: the best X-Men comics are from the Claremont era from roughly 1975-1985 (it extends a bit in each direction, but that's the heydey). BUT, most people who would go to an X-Men movie are younger, and have fond memories of the more recent, and crappier, comics.

So if you're in charge of a movie studio, do you choose better stories or placating the larger audience? That's a no-brainer. You take the big audience, which means you're adapting crappier material, and the seams show in the final product. The solution, BTW, isn't adapt the Claremont stuff, because then no one will show up.

Pay close attention to point 5 and 1. Two of the most important mess ups in the movies

I am glad they messed those up.

I've enjoyed most of the films, particularly the first class trilogy. They've been more enjoyable to me than the Marvel or DC films.

Jackman's performance and devotion to the character trump the height argument.

For everything else:
Marvel has done way more to damage the X-Men franchise than any film. It's been a convoluted mess for decades.

#5 has always been my biggest gripe. Cyclops had been completely shite on. He's the frickING alpha!!!
