Who are you directing this to?The best pitch led to Simon Kinberg writing and directing Dark Phoenix.
Right. Dude was handed the keys to the castle. What a nightmare.The franchise was already in Kinberg’s hands at that point.
You also thought Infinity War and Endgame weren't pretty bad Avengers movies so "I have been paying attention". So i don't think a X-Men film made by Marvel Studios and Disney would please you (based from reading your dozen of previous posts which is always negative when it comes to Disney finally adapting the X-Men). So yes I have paid attention.The same studio politics that lead to Kinberg stewardship of the franchise are at play in Marvel Studios.
And to be frank, if you don't think Iger is pressuring Feige to find the blandest mayonaise writer for X-men, you haven't been paying attention.
No you were complaining about them hiring a "white writer" as if that would guarantee a bad film.My post was for everyone on the net saying "the best pitch should win".
Its Hollywood/USA industry what we are talking about here, lets not pretend the best writers and directors are the choosen ones most of the times.
That was my point. "the best pitch" concept sounds perfect on paper, but thats not the reality. Not when Hollywood kept hiring Simon Kinberg, Ratner, Michael Bay and more year after year. This is the reality of movie industry.
And yes, Hollywood/USA industry is homophobic, misogynistic and xenophobic. Sorry but thats a worldwide known fact.
Umm you didn't flat out say a bad film, but you were clearly alluding to we are headed to another Fox era which was a mixed bag at best... all because of some unverified Twitter post.so no POC writer for Marvel Studios X-Men then?
this feels like Fox era all over again. (a white american man writing X-Men, and likely both straight men too). I thought Feige would give the opportunity to a minority writer that would have that extra sensitivity and personal connection to the source material and core themes.
Yup, I'm the guy that hates Infnity War and has been calling the Russos bad directors long before their Netflix films made it a common thought. But my general apathy towards the MCU is not the point.
What I am trying to say, when Iger, Feige's overall boss, is saying that their movies need to focus less on having a message, X-fans should be concerned. Especially when Feige is backing up Iger's statements. When Iger is facing strong challenges from right wing bigots, and he is making statements to calm them down, how do you think an X-fan should react? With positivity? The reason why we believe those rumored writers because it definitely fits within what has been talked about with Feige and Iger. And definitely remove the core theme of the X-men. I don't attack them because they are white. I attack them because their resume is ****ty.
But hey, who cares about the core theme that makes the X-men the X-men. You are going to get pretty colorful costumes.
This is too much studio politics for me to try to even argue.Yup, I'm the guy that hates Infnity War and has been calling the Russos bad directors long before their Netflix films made it a common thought. But my general apathy towards the MCU is not the point.

You are posting this like as if Kevin Feige isn't attached to this reboot... he is and this reboot is probably isn't for you.Stop making sense.
I will cry myself to sleep if we get non-melanated and/or straight creatives behind this damn reboot after praying for it for so long.
I think we all have PTSD from the Fox years. I get it. But look at X-Men '97. Look at Deadpool and Wolverine. Hell, look at the 10 seconds of Beast in The Marvels. Perhaps I'm being ridiculous for having faith.
You keep bringing up colorful costumes as if anyone here stating those would make these X-Men films instantly better or become great movies.
But maybe just wait, until there's actual information for this reboot. Is this going to be a regular habit from yours, until the film hits theaters in the next 4 to 5years?
The actual X-Men members treatment cant be worse than Fox era, without any guy named Simon writing, right?
so just for that alone we should be quite calm and positive
