The problem is I think the X-men movies need a lighter tone. Deadpool really shook things up in that respect. He helped set a different tone for the X-men movies, one that worked in so many ways. I think that tone is the future for the X-men movies, not the darker tones of DOFP or Logan. Bryan Singer has a solid track record as a director. However, he also has a unique style of sorts. He specializes in movies with serious undertones. When the first X-men movie came out, we kind of needed that to get away from the campy style of Batman and Robin. Now, that style just isn't as effective anymore, thanks to the success of Deadpool and the MCU. To move forward, I think the X-men movies need a very different style, one that's lighter and more upbeat.
I'm not sure that Kinburg can deliver that style, but I'm pretty sure that Singer can't because that's just not the kind of movie he makes. Going all the way back to his Usual Suspect days, he has a style that he's good at and that style just doesn't jive with the X-men movies anymore.
