The thirst for that spandex was real.
Yay Jean becomes useful.So I just got past the Phoenix Saga in the beginning of S3 of X-Men: TAS and I swear I can barely watch them with a straight face now after the "I'm the Juggernaut *****" videos.
You guys are gonna get comic accurate X suits and the guy who tried to take them away is a sexual predator.I prayed for days like this.

If MCU X-Men doesn’t come with this same energy, I don’t want it.
At that time CBMs were a big risk so I don’t blame them for being cautious. No reason not to go all out now though!Audiences weren't ready for comic accurate suits back then. Keaton's Batman, Blade and The Matrix conditioned us to thinking that black leather outfits were the norm.

Even back then I couldn't picture those same first couple of X-Men movies with them wearing comic-accurate suits. Maybe we would have gotten something if Batman and Robin hadn't crashed and burned the way it did so studios were afraid to go bright and colorful with superhero movies, at least until Spider-Man. It was just a different time. It wasn't until the end of Phase 1 of the MCU where I thought that we were fully ready for these movies to start looking exactly like the comics. Everyone had to be weaned in.Dude ever since 6th grade, we would all talk about wanting to see the X-Men in their costumes like TAS, Fox was just damn cowards.
I would NOT take El Muerto. Not in May. June. July. August. September. October. November. December. January. February. March. Or April
No one needs El Muerto, that's just crazy talk.Feels weird that the first weekend in May is coming up and we don't have a big CBM opening. I don't even expect an MCU release - hell I'd take El Muerto at this point
It looks like it's up to The Fall Guy to kick off the summer movie season on the right foot. Forbes is predicting an opening as high as $40 million while other trades are forecasting as low as $20 million...
Ken is still riding the Barbie wave so I'm expecting numbers on the higher end of that range. Whatever happens it's gonna be a much more muted start to the summer season this year...

Not even Smarch or MulyWhat about Smarch?
This is ideal and healthy too. It's awesome that The Fall Guy is opening up the summer movie scene. Should be a good summer of hits that aren't cannibalizing one another because they're all after different and smaller audiences with realistic expectations for success that isn't "has to hit a billion to be successful".No one needs El Muerto, that's just crazy talk.
The Fall Guy could be a sleeper hit if it's as good as the reviews make it to be. Overall it seems like a quieter summer than usual this year thanks to the strikes but there is some stuff worth getting excited about between The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Furiosa, Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine. I'll also probably check out A Quiet Place: Day One and Alien: Romulus unless the reviews are particularly bad.
I'm actually going to go out on a limb and say that the only summer release that will hit $1B is Despicable Me 4, because even after almost a decade and a half people still can't get enough of those goddamn Minions.This is ideal and healthy too.

I think they could've easily pulled off something between the Comic accurate suits and the Black Leather nonsense we got
Muted Brown with Gold accents for Logan, Dark Blue for Scott, Ororo's was close enough so no change needed there except to add a tiara, maybe a foresty green for Jean
They could've pulled it off without it being cartoony, they just lacked the creativity
One (or two if you count Deadpool) FoX-Man, and he's wearing yellow "spandex" to do itBad timing with that joke..A bunch of FOX-MEN are about to save the MCU...thats what you call irony
Fun fact: if those suits weren't so fragile, they would have been the new suits for Season 3.Agreed.
If we got a big budget version of MMPR with this:

We could’ve easily had the same Fox studio give us comic accurate X-Men, if they cared.
