TeeKay you nailed it, though I don't think Singer has gone out of his way to please the fans.
Nokio, X3s treatment was created/drafted by Matthew Vaughn actually, not Singer.
Very valid points. I should be where you're at now and just give up. It's been 14 years and we aren't going to get the characters handled properly ever as long as FOX has the rites. It's just makes my blood boil when alterations are made to the characters for no logical reason what so ever then for them to put their own spin on the XMen. Bishop was so gutted and just misused. His powers work exactly like Shaw's in FC, while Shaw just gets stronger in the comics. I assume they felt he would be to close to Shaw so they altered him to some stereotypical black guy toting a gun that has to get power from Sunspot to fire it, WTF?? I do not like SINGER period. He is poison to the Xmen and unfortunately he's not going anywhere cause he's had success that sadly came from the general audience.
X1 and 2 were decent enough. X3 was mediocre and I'm not convinced at all that Singer would have done anything differently cause the script and outline was already established when Ratner came out board. People blamed him for the awfulness but I never did. He may have made some alterations but he was brought in to shoot the movie. The way Phoenix was handled just screamed Fox and Singer. FC and DOFP were good films but again not good xmen films. I'll credit their decentness to Vaughan as in he had a hand in the scripts for both films. Kinberg is garbage too.
Let me stop ranting and get back to your post. I agree with you 100 percent.
Oh I'm not so sure about Apocalypse. Him building the Pyramids was a bit much. I've never know him in he comics to display TK powers but his abilities is supposed to be whatever power he wants, I've just never seen him do much but grow in size and shape change and fire energy blasts in the comics. I'm sure in the end Wolverine will be the one to take him down. Still believe he's just being used because FOX wanted a really big bad after Thanos was introduced in Avengers. If he wasn't I doubt Singer and FOX would used him, we'll still have Magneto as the villian no doubt.
I was dissapointed with the usage of Bishop, Sunspot and Warpath in DOFP. Blink was cool though but the rest were meh. I'm really cautous when it comes to Apocalypse, he's going to be watered down just like the rest of the X-Men. That post credits scene, I did like it though. Made me pumped for Apocalypse. I can only imagine what Whedon could do with the X-Men. In one tracking shot in the Avengers, he shot the team dynamic well more than all the X-men films combined. Everyone working together and fighting as a TEAM no relying. The X-Men films have left a lot to be desired, really.
At this point man, it's just take it or leave it, I just took it. I've complained, ranted and what not and it's just beating a dead horse at this point. Just accept things as they are and not what we want them to be. I thought X-2 was a great film in its own right but just a poor X-Men adaptation imo.
