The MCU movies are weak and bland in storyline, so they use humor to coverup the blandness.
The XCU movies are thought provoking and in tune to real life experiences.
They are thought provoking I've thought things like "Why can't Cyclops or Storm get a actual story?" "Why are there no Starjammers or Shi'Ar?" "Where are the Morlocks?" "Why don't they ever wear their costumes from the comics?" "Why is Mystique even here?" "Why aren't they aging it's been 20 years?" "What timeline is this?" "Did Jubilee actually get to speak?" "Wait how is Angel a teen in the 80's?"
So many provoking thoughts.
I ask myself "Why is Mystique even here" about 12 times an XCU movie. My personal favorite is "What happened to Storm for the last hour?" or "The hell did you just do to Deadpool?" or "Wait...Scott's dead and wolverine is the new hero of the Phoenix Saga?" or "How many things will they need time travel to undo this time?"
Ooooh...just thought of my favorite: "Will this be another one Kinberg apologizes for?"
Not only storywise, but even from a technical standpoint...
For instance, The Last Stand's FX was impressive back in 2006.
The "whirlwind punch" of Storm was wonderful and perfect from an FX standpoint.
The sequence in which Phoenix destroys the Grey's house and Xavier's body was terrific, frightening and groundbreaking.
I think the special effects of this movie are amazing, and mind you, it was produced in 2006.
Heck, even the de-aging at the beginning was absolutely great.

I have said nice things about every XCU filn even Last Stand I just don't over elevate them either. I've said good and bad about the MCU, DCEU, and all comic book movies. Also if best to worst than saying what's worse shouldn't be an issue just like saying what best isn't or just make an XCU appreciation thread.

My worse X-Men movie is Wolverine:Origins, but better than any Disney inspired MCU movie.
