Also just watched Xmen apocolypse... What a joyless 2 hours, I wish singer would step down. I mean it was watchable, and Sophie turner was pretty good as Jean. Even stans cameo wasn't fun, it was like the whole movie was just kind of going through the motions. I would love to see the Russo bros or wheden get a crack at marvels merry mutants. If others liked it more power to them... Who knows maybe my expectations from the comics and the 90s cartoon are just too high.

No Whedon. God no. Let him stick to his own sandbox for the time being. I'd rather not read anymore of his tantrums, and his action dynamics are rather lacking anyway. He's great at TV action stuff, not so much movie stuff. Russo's blow him out of the water as do many other directors. I hate to say it, but he's really not that great at the big budget stuff. Even Serenity's infamous River Tam scene kind of pales in comparison to stuff we see in indie web series. He's good at setting a scene, but not so much the finer combat details. His brother though, pretty damn awesome even with a limited budget.

Russo's though. Yes please. Though marvel has them tied up for the next 5+ years.

Singer might need a rest. He could have director fatigue from too many too fast. Though I have to admit it was nice to see him up his action choreography game a bit more. Plus with a new family addition, he might want the time off anyway to rest and spend time with his kid. And he's said he wants to take a brief break for now on X-Men movies to do something else. Which would be great. Him experimenting on techniques in other movies only means if he comes back to do an X-men movie later, he'll have improved more too. So by all means let him test out some new techniques elsewhere before coming back! Nothing wrong with working out the kinks with your craft before you go full throttle on a massive franchise again. And the next movie needs to have that teamwork dynamic. The films have been kind of lacking in that. X1-3 it's understandable, not enough budget for it and tech wasn't there yet. Then First Class to Apocalypse, they weren't a team and haven't really trained together yet. Now they have. So the next movies, the team needs to work like clockwork. Like a team should.

I kind of want to see the director of "Stick it" handle an X-Men movie. Or at least the cinematographer from that movie. It's a gymnastics movie, but how it does the camera work and the director choices, those are towards the kind of flair an actual team working together needs to have. I'd say hire the action director from Red vs Blue outright, but that's not possible anymore. T_T
