First of all let me say this, I did not vote in the election. to those who are shocked at the result , I am not. after UK decided to leave the EU. anything was possible.
Now, Since X-Men was always a social and political series at the heart of the books that reflected real life. I thought I should dwell on the election. this election has proven, people do not conform to the same formula and do not want to be bound by the same rules, neither are they interested in a monopoly establishment.
There is a huge Disney establishment in Hollywood, Disney has amassed everything and a lot of us are against Disney gaining control of everything even with the protection that comes along with it. just look at how the media and even critics have protected a lot of the awful disney marvel movies like age of ultron, thor 2, ant-man , iron man 2 and iron man 3.while at the same time demonising Apocalypse , A film comfortably better than the weaker marvel movies with a better villain than what we have seen in the mcu
We don't want X-Men under the disney monopoly establishment that controls more than 65% of Hollywood. we need options and something different to the disney monopoly rule of comic book movies and x-men is that option ,for the reason that we know disney has nothing to offer x-men apart from shallow and superficial l marvel formula movies.
I hope Fox keeps the rights and I hope x-men fans stand their ground and support fox despite all the negativity and backlash fox and x-men fans seems to be getting because most of them have refused to let their series become part of the MCU disney establishment and fox would rightfully not give the rights back.
yes, apocalypse was a middle road film but we have had DOFP, Deadpool, X-Men 1, First Class and X-Men 2 and hopeful Logan. Movies that disney would have found too complex , too dark, too grounded and too serious for their disney audiences that are only into flashy cgi movies with a thin and oversimplified plot.
the Trump win has electrified me more about x-men and I will continue to be a supporter of X-Men staying at fox and far way from mcu disney. politics and pop culture, it does not matter, people are tired of the establishment and being forced even to the point of bullying to conform to only one form of entertainment, politics or lifestyle.

hey antman was great! the others were indeed crap dressed nicely though. CW only avoiding being called crap cause of the airport scene that saves it from being too obviously the same crap we got from BvS.

Oh yeah, I agree. The fact we got three separate cinematic universes is a good thing. The XMCU, MCU, and DCEU should be kept apart.

I think he's more Red Skull than Apocalypse or Magneto personally. Originally Posted by Sin Nick

Hillary is the villain. Her entire entourage are pedophiles and she is married to a rapist. She has been demolishing women her entire life. She hired correct the record and citizens united to bully and smear all political opponents. Ask Stein and Sanders supporters how they feel about her.
Branded Jill an anti vaxxer.
Ripped off Bernie supporters and threw them out.
Smeared Trump with ridiculous claims.
Invited Omar Mateen's father to her rally post Pulse.
Ripped off Haiti.
Tried to start war with Russia and Syria over a pipeline to EU.
Trump has been pro civil unions granting lgbt the same rights all along. Hillary got DOMA and was anti gay marriage.
His businesses have been all inclusive all along. Clintons were whites only and stalled civil rights in Arkansas til 1993.Last edited by DDD; 11-09-2016 at 09:30 AM.

Urgh the airport scene was the worst part of the film because of how joked filled it was. if people want to see a real physical and political war , they should x-men 2 when nightcralwer tries to kill the president. the intensity of that scene mups the entire civil war movie Originally Posted by xhx23x
civil war was okay but the film was still simplistic and straightforward in story telling. disney likes it that way for kids to keep up with the movie. x-men should not be confined to those set of rules.Last edited by Selina; 11-09-2016 at 08:59 AM.
