I don't hate the XCU. I only hate the rebooted movies. The choice made by Simon Kinberg to contunue what was clearly a dead horse franchise after Days Of Future Past and Logan was unjustifiable. Dark Phoenix will go down in history as a special case of self destruction. I don't think it has ever happened before. A movie attempted twice by the same writer and producer and bombing twice.
I am completely convinced Simon Kinberg may have suffered from PTSD after X3 that he never got over. Why else would he think it was a great idea to write and direct the phoenix saga for the second time with one of the worst castings ever. Sophie turner is terrible. Alexandra Ship is a bad actress, The Nightcrawler actor looks like a cosplayer, Tye Sheridan is not Cyclops, Jennifer Lawrence has been bad in every movie she was in since 2015.
Only 9 movies matters in the XCU. The movies that had a closing ending with the original actors from 20 years ago. Kinberg said we can blame him for Dark Phoenix, I will only show him compassion when he admits his wrong doings to the fullest extent of Mutant law.
