Why is FOX sticking with her as Jean? She was so fucking bad in AoA and now the next movie revolves around her?

Wolverine is not an option

Hot redheads. Duh.

X-Men First Class is better than every DCEU and Marvel film with the exception of maybe The Winter Soldier and Iron Man
You CANNOT refute this

Are they still going to shove Jennifer Lawrence in everything?

what are you stupid, she's the next Jennifer Lawrence.

It's kek worthy how bad she is. Birch LITERALLY only made two faces the ENTIRE fucking movie(the second face is pic related while OP is everything else). I was already sour walking out of Apocalypse and I remember saying to myself "I'm not paying for the next X-Men if she's the lead".

And look at where we are now.

They could have selected a better actor, I have no problem with Jean but this actress is fucking THE WORST. Her accent went in and out every other scene.

>Famke looked too old but was hot
>this girl looks too ayy lmao
Just fuck my franchise up.

X1 > First Class

She's got that potato face that British redheads sometimes have. Ginny Weasley's actress had the same problem, which is a shame because in the books Ginny is supposed to be really pretty.

Apparently she was on Game of Thrones which is apparently a huge hit with the normies

This is the same reason Bolivar Trask was the midget guy

Their mentality about casting is bad

I mean, aside from Legion, Fox has been pretty consistently terrible with X-Men stuff. I don't get why you'd be surprised.

But she's not even hot, bitch looks like a balding man now.

Sounds like accurate casting.

Bonnie is way prettier than Sansa. Sansa's skull seems to be outgrowing her face, Bonnie actually has an ordinary jawline

But original trilogy casting was perfect.

First Class is comfykino, X1 is nostalgia garbage.

>original trilogy casting was perfect
>implying Paquin Rogue wasn't the blunder of the century

She's still pretty far from the Ginny I've always had in my head. Maybe I had the wrong idea, but I always pictured Ginny as the epitome of a smoking hot teenage girl. She seems to get lots of boys at Hogwarts, and she couldn't do that if she were plain.

This chick is the epitome of plain and unremarkable.

>Anna Paquin as Rogue
>Halle Berry speaking in a crap accent then dropping it altogether
>Big headed annoying fucker Ellen Page as
Kitty Pryde

>perfect casting

Is there any reason to watch Dark Phoenix other than for this semen demon?

>She was so fucking bad
Just like the character

There really is no reason to watch any X-men movies whitout best boy

Only reason Days of future past was great was because best boy red daddy was in it
Only reason Apocalypse was good was because best boy was in it

You can NOT deny this

>ignoring Stewart, McKellen, Romijn-Stamos, and Jackman
Don't tell me you kids actually like McAvoy, Fassbender, and JLaw

she'd definitely have been better than fuckin sansa

>Only reason Days of future past was great was because best boy red daddy was in it
You mean First Class, red dad was confirmed dead in Days

>Don't tell me you kids actually like McAvoy, Fassbender

Those two are good though.

Also, Rogue is my favorite, so her being so disgustingly miscast ruined the whole original trilogy for me.

Fassbender is great though.

Fassbender is generally pretty good, most of the time. But yeah, everyone else is awful. Especially fucking JLaw. It's incredible that a literal runway model whose biggest career highlight was marrying John Stamos managed to be a more interesting, compelling Mystique than an Academy Award-winning actress, but you know what? Here we fucking are.

The Mystique role was mostly physical. How she walked, and fought and strutted around. I mean that's all models do so it was easy for her to capitalize. Plus really good makeup.

>hot
>implying

casting disaster of the century

Same thing more or less happened with BvS and Wonder Woman, too, where a model who can barely speak English was more interesting than Cavill, a legitimate actor, ever was. Maybe acting isn't actually that difficult.

You're so desperate for a text fight it's embarrassing.

I for one liked them all, everybody has brought something nice to the table.
Jeez kid, like what you like, let others do the same.

BvS suffered from having Superman go through the same shit we already saw in MoS except worse. Cavill was great in Man From UNCLE

They should just drop Dark Phoenix and make the next X-Men movie about cute Kurt doing cute things.

Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

Wait, so this was true?

brappp.wordpress.com/2015/06/04/blind-item-04062015/

>I for one liked them all

Even JLaw? Even back in First Class before she got super famous, I thought she was terrible.

>Cavill was great in Man From UNCLE

True. He's originally British, right? Wonder why he's never in the conversation for "next Bond".

Yeah Apocalypse made me realize how bad of an actor she is. I thought she's passable in GoT but that's just because Queen of Burgers is such a ridiculously terrible actor even a cardboard cut out looks like Laurence Oliver comparatively.

He is British
I don't know. Maybe he doesn't wanna do it because he's Superman. Maybe people don't like how he's fucking a teenager.

Next you'll tell me their new makeup studio doesn't suck.

Fassbender and McAvoy act circles around the rest of the cast you dense cunt.

>Wonder why he's never in the conversation for "next Bond"

Too bald.

>Maybe people don't like how he's fucking a teenager.

Do elaborate

Meh. I'd still hit it. Though I would have preferred Molly Quinn. Now she is a hot redhead!

After Dark Phoenix bombs and all the critics hate it because Fox can't make a good X-Men movie without pushing Jlaw, all the X-Men will be dead.

Cyclops will be dead. Jean will be dead. Night crawler will be dead. Storm will be dead. Jubilee will be dead. Literally everyone will be dead.

And retarded Fox will blame the characters for the bombing and not their shitty incompetence.

Then they will remake the X-Men with new members (probably some from the New Mutants movie even). Maybe even have Deadpool lead the X-Men.

Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler, Storm, Jubilee, Beast, and the rest will never be seen and allowed in a film for decades.

Because Fox raped them and then blamed the victim.

That didn't fucking stop Sean Connery!

I wish Fox would just give the rights back to Marvel already.

I would LOVE if they made him a swashbuckler again. Even just a throwaway scene with him watching Errol Flynn movies in the beginning and a contrived excuse to give him a couple of swords for the final battle would do.

Since when does Hollywood care about superhero movie casting?

There was nothing wrong with Paquin Rogue for the character they wrote, which wasn't comics or 90s cartoon Rogue. This looks like Not Muh to me.

He was dating some 19 year old bitch for a little while.

You jelly user Of the girl

No, Bryan Singer is gay as they come. He wouldn't have cast her based on looks, and the idea that people get cast based on sex is a myth - outside of small indies that struggle to attract talent, there's absolutely no reason to offer someone who can't act a job just because they fucked you.

Because you're married to them - that's actually fairly rare but a lot more common than the casting couch myth coming true.

It's not that people don't fuck the pretty young things, you understand, it's that there's no jobs handed out on the basis of it.

>too ayy lmao

Because she's got the redhead gene; she's not a natural ginger, but she's got the gene.

Makes them all bug eyed.

>their mentality

People are cast based on how well-known they are (as determined by Q scores taken from public canvassing, and by viewership/box office receipts of things they've been in).

Game of Thrones is huge; I think it was the most-pirated show worldwide at one point, it sells a lot of merch, has prop tours that are well attended. It's basically soft porn but who cares? It sells.

And because it sells, the people in it are in demand. All of them. She just happened to get the Jean role (probably because they didn't realize she's not really a redhead, which means she can at least look the part).

Because they've probably signed her for, based on what we know of the First Class cast, three pictures. If they re-cast, they have to pay her off and she gets residuals from the movie anyway, just like if she'd been in it in the same role; if they don't use her character, she's getting paid anyway (but no residuals). It's the Billy Dee Williams/Harvey Dent thing all over again. He still gets checks for the Schumacher movie Tommy Lee Jones was in.

The choice is; reboot everything (and re-cast everyone, not just her), dump her but pay her anyway, or put her in and hope her speech coach can get her accent to improve. Of the choices, the last is preferable.

No, at her age Jennifer Lawrence was already A-list.

GoT fans and comic book fans have a lot of overlap

>Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler, Storm, Jubilee, Beast, and the rest will never be seen and allowed in a film for decades.

pls no

>for the character they wrote

It was a shitty character that had very little in common with the Rogue we know and love. That's a valid criticism.

One can argue, including Grant Morrison who did in his initial X-Men pitch, that the movie Rogue or the goth Rogue from Evolution is more like how a character with that powerset would act. You're lucky Grant didn't get his way and get the greenlight to retcon comic Rogue to be more like movie/Evolution Rogue.

Same reason that other guy was suddenly a huge part of Resident Evil: Game of Thrones is/was big and they are trying to capitalize on her draw. Fucking disgusting the way Hollywood operates: they don't hire the best people for the roles, or make the best movie but the people and movie that will put the most asses in seats. Another example of capitalism utterly failing to create the best product instead creating the most profitable one.

What's with this whole "Fox X-men is shit" is shit meme. X-men 1 wasn't great but it was certainly good for its time. X2 holds up as one of the best cape movies yet. X3 is okay, not great at all but an entertaining enough action flick that people only hate on because "muh Scott!" X-men Origins Wolverine is the only one that's truly terrible.

With 9 total films they have a pretty good track record overall. Especially considering X2 and Logan are some of the best capeshit put to screen.

All the X-Men films have been a solid "okay". None are particularly amazing like Logan, Deadpool, Winter Soldier, or GoTG, they're just serviceable popcorn fluff.

DofP is way better than Logan.

X1 and X2 don't hold up and besides First Class and Logan the others are garbage.

>X1 and X2 don't hold up
Source?

Not even close.

The only good parts are the Magneto and Charles stuff. I think people that suck First Class's dick forget how much Havok, Banshee, Twink Beast, and Younger Amy Schumer are in the movie.

>I think people that suck First Class's dick forget how much Havok, Banshee, Twink Beast, and Younger Amy Schumer are in the movie

I liked them as well though. I think the only part of First Class that was pure shit was January Jones.

>non-characters without arcs
What was good about any of them?

>characters need arcs to be enjoyable or entertaining

Cute twinks are nice to look at, turbo faggot.

Also, this criticism can apply to literally every X-Men movie. No one outside of Wolvie, Jean, Xavier, Magneto, or Mystique get any real focus or character arcs.

You're right. DofP is so much better that it isn't even close.

I refute that.

And she wasn't in FC.

the face sansa made on wedding night

>DofP is so much better

Are there actually people out there who think this? Or is Singer posting on Sup Forums again?

I liked her as Jean but they didn't give her much to do. I'm sure she'll get more focus in a movie all about the Phoenix.

X2, FC, DOFP, Logan, and Deadpool are all great. That's not just my opinion. That's a consensus of critical acclaim, whether you like it or not.

Main characters that take up a lot of screen time should, yes. If they were background I'd agree with you, but they aren't.

Not every character in the movies is supposed to be a main character and hold my interest in the same way as the "first class" was supposed to. The movie does a shit job making me feel anything about them.

Plenty of people with pleb taste who prefer standard cape stories over neo-westerns.

>I think people that suck First Class's dick forget how much Havok, Banshee, Twink Beast, and Younger Amy Schumer are in the movie.
This is why most people like it. It was the movie that came closest to being an X-Men movie.

>If they were background I'd agree with you, but they aren't

But they clearly are. Imagine bitching about an ensemble in an X-Men film, of all things.

My god, I wish Sup Forums would collectively up and fucking off itself. Every single user who visits that board feels the need to spread their cancer for some reason.

I think you're confusing "not the main character" with "background character." Moira is a background character. Azazel is a background character. The titular characters are not background characters.

>Source?
Marvelfags


Anyway, nice thread.

>Moira is a background character

Seems more like a main character desu. The X-Men themselves are all BG characters.

Logan>Winter Soldier and Iron Man>First Class>Every other MCU and DCU film

thats what makes her a perfect tumblr casting: plain, unremarkable, always the center of attention, and the power to destroy worlds.

Are you implying it's only Sup Forums that doesn't like Sansa as Jean?

Reminder that X films are made to spotlight twink boys. Having them cast women is like having a normal guy pick out a Hallmark card, they just don't give a fuck and want to be done with it.

A story can only sustain so many dynamic characters before it turns into a confusing mess.

>She was so fucking bad in AoA
All of AoA was fucking bad.

What's AoA?

Should've hired Katherine McNamera.

Age of Altron.

>Reminder that X films are made to spotlight twink boys

I wish more films did this.

Quicksilver and Nightcrawler were good in Apocalypse

must be the Mandela effect at work, same with TASM2's shitty subtitle ("The Rise of Electro") that it never actually had, yet movie sites and forums kept mentioning it for some reason

>hot
She has aged so bad.
