It may be good enough for the MCU because they have to keep things unnecessarily kid-friendly, which in default lowers their standard of what you can do with a story. It is not a good excuse for X-Men. If you want an aged up Laura connected to Wolverine emotionally, Lady Deathstrike is the answer.
Logan is one story about X-23, which is about her origins - there's far more to her than that. They can do various themes wth her, like her becoming Wolverine's protege or eventually being the next Wolverine and other things like in New X-men where she was in a class with other students. What age she is has nothing to do with the qualify of the story's she's in. The comics have a wealth of material to explore, which Fox never got too. They can show her as a kid in flashbacks, like they did with Magneto. They don't have to do everything the same. For example, Logan thankfully left out how she was forced into being a prostitute. Logan takes a lot fo inspiration from her Target X mini-series where she's the star getting revenge on the Facility and she's far more capable than she was in the movie. Because she can explore her life after her origins more thoroughly as an adult and as a man character. The main X-men movies are kid friendly and they had Wolverine stabbing soldiers to death. Her life is more than revolving around Logan, I'd like to see her with the New X-men students like Surge and crew and growing up. She has an interesting relationship with Emma Frost, there's more then one way to do something in stories.

Fox X-Men standard when good was telling more thoughtful mature stories about comics. That is the highest standard for comic book movies. Its funny that you talk of standard but don't realise asking for Laura to be aged up is lowering the standard of movies.You may as well ask for Magneto to be a grown man in nazi camps or mutants should not be hated and feared because Avengers and F4 are not hated and feared?
Fox X-men were inconsistent and ranged from awful to great. X-men: Last Stand was not a "mature" story by any stretch, it was a live action cartoon. X-23 is more then what she was in Logan, there's her as a student, being in X-Force, becoming Wolverine, being friends with the 05. Everyone saw Logan, we can move onto the next stage. Magneto was only a kid in flashbacks, the majority of his appearances are as an old man or a full grown adult.


There is no need for a Green Lantern Corps movie since HBO MAX is giving it show. This would have suited X-Men best.
WB needs to reboot GL and the movie turned off many to the idea which is taking years to fix, X-men can do anything and are more open to exploring more media at once, they've had movies along side tv shows before (Legion, The Gifted).
