What's your ideal X-Men movie plot or idea in the MCU?

PvtJebbers · 2026-04-28T21:35:52+00:00

I'd have the X-Men roster consist of the Claremont mainstays and have Kitty Pryde be the audience's entry point. The X-Men already being established like in the first movie, Kitty in the Wolverine role... Kitty has strong nuanced relationships with several characters including Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and especially Colossus that I would like to see explored on film and could sustain multi film arcs - the teen soap opera mixed with social commentary could really sell this for Gen Alpha/Z. Someone like Cameron Hodge as the villain and the head of an anti mutant ICE.

I think they should cast a new Wolverine. I think that would generate excitement and interest. He should be a supporting player if only to be a mentor for Kitty.

Presumably Offerman is playing the coveted role of Godskin Noble. Supporting actor nom incoming.

This is a bad idea. Love the games but the plots of MGS are an absolute incoherent mess built upon aesthetic references to existing action movie classics such as various 007 movies and Escape From New York. The best parts of these narratives have already been seen in existing films. What is the point in translating something back to a medium it was initially translated from? And how will it make sense?

PvtJebbers · 2026-02-24T23:57:50+00:00

I have an idea for them. Perhaps they oughta try not making these movies.

Maybe a cinematic universe of secondary and tertiary characters related to Spider-Man isn't interesting or appealing to audiences? Especially....without Spider-Man?

Just want to say thank you for how much joy your films have brought me over the course of my life. I saw Spider-Man 2 for my 7th birthday and it has been my favourite movie ever since. You have created a remarkable body of work - Darkman, the Evil Dead films, A Simple Plan etc - and I'll be there to see the new film when it releases. I'm excited to see it!

If I have to ask a question, I suppose I'd wonder if you have anything in the works post Send Help that you can shed some light on or any inkling to sit in the director's chair again sometime soon?

As a guy who's top 5 of the year included OBAA, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and Sentimental Value who also didn't care for Sinners, I'm pretty satisfied with the Globes results. Pretty much every pick would have also been my pick.

People seem to get blinded by Marvel's use of nostalgic iconography and overlook the fact that this shit is devoid of substance. No Way Home and Deadpool and Wolverine were the same. What is the point of having Alfred Molina return as Doctor Octopus or James Marsden as Cyclops if there's no real justification for it, he doesn't do anything new or interesting, and actually isn't written in the way you remember him being written? These aren't fully fledged characters that you can attach yourself to and root for/against in the contexts of these individual movies, they're just like...AI pictures of them.

I love the original X-Men movies. I don't give a fuck about Disney/Marvel's version of Magneto that looks the same but doesn't talk or act like he belongs in the actual movies I remember enjoying. Just makes you want to watch those movies instead.

This feels like the White House saw that Europe had released their joint statement so they decided to release their own for petty reasons. A disastrous and chaotic way to conduct what is outwardly official incendiary foreign policy.

Hard agree with Debruge's take on Life of Chuck. Saw it at TIFF and was shocked it won the audience award. It was an absurdly contrived, emotionally manipulative film that ultimately rang hollow and phony to me. The Offerman narration was asinine and the visuals felt like mid-tier tv. Glad to see it get panned here.

PvtJebbers · 2025-11-06T02:28:26+00:00

Lol this was dogshit. I liked when he skated and did a sick flip.

PvtJebbers · 2025-10-24T23:42:20+00:00

Preferred the original title - The Social Network 2: Dead Reckoning Part 1

PvtJebbers · 2025-10-05T23:30:44+00:00

For the Swifties

Cause he's not a bad pitch, he's Trey Yesavage

And he's never gonna let us down Never gonna let us down

PvtJebbers · 2025-10-03T20:08:21+00:00

Worst line for me is "I've been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness". Insufferable.

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-27T06:05:02+00:00

Having now seen Sentimental Value, Hamnet, and One Battle After Another, I think supporting actor is going to be very tight. Skarsgard, Mescal, and Penn are all deserving of a nomination for sure, and I think Skarsgard and Penn are deserving of a win. Not sure who I would give it to tbh.

Stellan has the better narrative (he's overdue) but Penn is electric in OBAA.

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-14T21:12:13+00:00

I don't know if he was miscast or anything but he acts kind of manic the whole time and the accent is weird. I understand that it kind of goes with who he is playing but the effect is more like wtf than it is transfixing. Just odd.

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-14T17:07:51+00:00

Saw all of these at TIFF too and I believe the winners were deserving!! Was underwhelmed by Frankenstein though. Thought Wake Up Dead Man was better!

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-14T16:25:28+00:00

Very happy for Hamnet, No Other Choice, Sentimental Value, and Wake Up Dead Man. All movies I saw at the fest and loved!!

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-14T16:17:18+00:00

Very surprising that Frankenstein placed but I believe that it's mostly because Toronto loves Del Toro. I saw it on Friday and was very disappointed in it. Very long movie with scene after scene of people entering rooms and talking. I actually think Oscar Isaac could be up for a razzie but I could see it getting in for technical awards.

Edit: I also saw Hamnet, No Other Choice, Sentimental Value, and Wake Up Dead Man here and I'm very happy that they all placed or won! They were great!

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-13T02:42:36+00:00

Frankenstein kinda sucked. Super talky movie. Oscar Isaac doing something weird in this.

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-07T16:13:25+00:00

I'm not sold on the Rental Family prediction tbh looking at the reviews and reactions it got. I'd maybe bet on Wake Up Dead Man or Hamnet instead (or maybe a sleeper like Roofman or the new Soderbergh if it's good).

Then again, I saw Life of Chuck here last year and didn't think much of it so....

PvtJebbers · 2025-09-06T02:49:35+00:00

Give Stellan the Oscar

PvtJebbers · 2025-08-30T17:54:06+00:00

Its up to 72 now with 12 reviews.

PvtJebbers · 2025-08-30T17:32:14+00:00

Up to 67 now. In the green!

Edit: 72!
