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.

Halle Berry was not a good Storm. She wasn't elegant, or graceful or in anyway regal. They need someone like Angela Bassett or even Gina Torres as Storm

I’m ready for the MCU. I’d love for Mystique, Rogue and Destiny to be introduced as antagonists in the Captain Marvel sequel, instead of being shoehorned into the X Men movies from the jump.

I totally agree with Jennifer Lawrence being awful as Mystique. I wholeheartedly believe she was cast in the role purely for the name recognition, at the time she was the "it girl"
