I understand your point. “Mystique should not have this big of role because it’s not in the comics” etc. But that’s not relevant to my point which is that the Oscars influenced the writing of the characters, which is a fact.
And I never mentioned this.And Singer hasn't been able to, no scratch that, hasn't even attempted to make these ensemble movies to actually feel like ensemble movies. He had Weapon X sequence in literally every single movie he directed, has Stryker appear in 3/4 of his movies, has Magneto changing sides in 3/4 of his movies, but yeah, he doesn't have time to develop Storm. I wonder why.
