might be one of the Destiny figures.

I think they got Scott and Jean right in the early X-Men films, they just mucked it all up. Halie Berry was a good Storm. Olivia Munn was a great choice as Psylocke, but I agree that the new incarnation of X-Men is bad. I think that’s more of a result of having to reboot everything and go young after First Class. Disney and Marvel need to start fresh, but it will be hard to do and combine the universes without some time travel/ multiverse shenanigans, which never seems to work out.

Patrick Stewart was built to portray Charles Xavier, Sir Ian McKellen was great as an older Magneto. Both of those guys have tremendous chemistry.

I’m ambivalent towards Jennifer as Mystique, she’s at least better than a random supermodel wearing body paint.

I also forgot about Gambit, I hope that Tatum movie gets scrapped.

I think they got most of the major characters right, especially early on, but the “secondary” characters weren’t well executed the way Marvel has done. I guess saying all of them were great was too strong. I do think they made enough great choices early on to be successful, but they seriously mishandled the storylines and character development forcing a messy reboot. The long range planning wasn’t on the level of the Marvel universe.
