X-Men: The Xtreme Review (Reboot Movies)

Zealots of Nerd Entertainment

What if the X-Men movies we love and loathe are more interconnected than we realize? Join us as we dissect the X-Men prequels and reboots, including "X-Men: First Class," "Days of Future Past," "X-Men: Apocalypse," "X-Men: Dark Phoenix," and "The New Mutants". We'll share our thoughts on the highs and lows of these films, from the masterful character development in "First Class" to the more questionable creative choices in the later movies. Expect a lively discussion on standout moments, including the unforgettable Wolverine cameo, and the complex relationships between beloved characters like Charles Xavier and Magneto.
Ever wondered which mutants could join the Marvel Cinematic Universe next? We speculate on the future of the MCU, diving deep into the potential introduction of key storylines like Onslaught and House of M. Will James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender reprise their roles as Professor X and Magneto? How might their inclusion impact the MCU's expansive narrative? We also reflect on "X-Men: First Class," its replay value, and the nuanced dynamics between Magneto and Mystique, offering both thoughtful insights and a few laughs along the way.
Finally, we'll critique the handling of iconic characters and story arcs in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," from the enhanced abilities of the Sentinels to the controversial alteration of key roles like Kitty Pryde's. Plus, we tackle the "trilogy curse" in movies and analyze the shortcomings of "The New Mutants." Was "Dark Phoenix" doomed from the start? Tune in to find out as we explore the cinematic rollercoaster that is the X-Men franchise and debate what the future holds for our favorite mutants.
