The Fox X-Men weren't dark. They were crap dressed in black leather from Hot Topic.
I hope they treat Mutant movies in a variety of ways with a variety of tones. It's too broad to be limited to one tone. It should be like Avengers where it has multiple sub-franchises within the franchise.
I think they definitely should go a bit darker with the X-films . X-men is not just about a group of people taking down supervillains . If they try to make them like the avengers then that would be so disappointing.
Now of course, it doesn't have to be dark all the time. Show their breakfasts, their baseball games , them going to Harry's hideout to hang out,etc. Show human allies , show laws being implemented for the safety of mutants . They can't lose all the time, and they shouldn't be exterminated every year like in the comics. That's what I hope for

More emphasis on the fantasy elements.
"Cable was right!"
I just want smily, kind, open Kurt, rather than dark brooding tortured Kurt.
This made me laugh out loud. I needed that. Thank you.
I hope the movies are serious but still enjoyable. The X-Men are about hope to me and I found some of their movies just so bleak and bland that it was pathetic. I think by speading the focus on more than just a few characters will allow them to have serveral movies with several different tones, but still all fit together. I am very much looking forward to seeing them in the MCU. I can wait to see new life breathed into the characters.
there needs to be a genuine bound betwen the characthers, not constant snarky comments and cold stares like the avengers or empty over the top like the guardians.
common moments of genuine chemestry that doesnt need to be overplayed.
besides that I have no expectations since the mcu tends to disapoint if you have expectations
"Human" issues, whereas everything else in comic books are just fiction. Got it.
There has always been humor in much of the X-Men, for the past couple of decades the focus has been grim for many of the most popular books. It used to be that the X-Men played baseball together, go out for drinks, and laugh a little. X-Men like Nightcrawler and Kitty could keep things lite with their humor - Wolverine could even be depended upon to make a humorous comment. The New Mutants and especially Excalibur were definitely lighter in tone than most of the other books. When New Mutants became X-Force, it definitely got darker as Cable became the focus.
Since the beginning, the X-Men have always used their younger students/members to draw in younger readers, so I'm not sure how you have interpreted that the series is made only for adults.
So, while the X-books have been darker than most of the other Marvel titles, it's no Walking Dead.
And I'm just trying to anticipate how Marvel will handle atmosphere. The X-Men films could potentially out earn the Avengers due to their popularity, and to capitalize, Marvel will make the films family-friendly. They absolutely will. It's how they approach it that makes all the difference - they don't want some awful hybrid like what the Fox films turned into.
I read most of X-men comics during my childhood.
It was far from being culmination of persecutions of the mutants by the humans then. It could be a plot device but rarely the main subject of the story.
There has been an evolution of the tone of X-men over the years for something darker and darker. More graphic too in the depiction of the violence.
Although I think there could be a lighter tone in X-men comics and then a greater freedom for X-men authors in the choice of subjects — X-men universe feels rather cloistered — I'm not very hopeful: it would need an exceptional author to break this confined system.
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
The Inhumans in the "Agents of SHIELD" series are basically lawyer-friendly mutants, when Marvel lacked the rights. Simply do something similar to that.
Idk, at this point I'm confused why fans aren't giving Marvel a little more credit, every movie is not like GOTG. Marvel does a very good job balancing darker tones and themes, with comedy and lightheartedness. I mean as someone mentioned Winter Soldier was a much different film than Antman, which was a much different film than Captain Marvel, which was different to Black Panther.
Marvel has had the opportunity to work through the kinks and practice perfecting the balance with the phases of the Avengers. I can only imagine them taking everything they've learned from 2008 til last year and using it all to create something while familiar also much different than what we've seen before. In no way am I suggesting the X-men will be perfect or there won't be areas of improvement, personally I'm just excited about the whole property being taken seriously and with care. FOX casually wasted so many opportunities to do something great, and I don't think Marvel is going to repeat their folly!
Marvel balances lightheartedness and dark, in what movies did they do this? The thread master is aware that X-men was a different level of Dark incomparable to the MCU.
We don't have to watch any of these movies not to accept the truth they are Disney films filled with unrealistic limitations and don't get me started on how this movies are shot, made, CGI or the cinematography of these films.I mean as someone mentioned Winter Soldier was a much different film than Antman, which was a much different film than Captain Marvel, which was different to Black Panther.
The recent marvel films are spoofy parodies. Comparing them to X-Men in tone and darkness makes MCU look more childish than it need to be.Marvel has had the opportunity to work through the kinks and practice perfecting the balance with the phases of the Avengers.

Depends on your definition of what you call great.What should be great X-Men. I would not call the reputation that comic movies ares spoofy child only fiction great. What was great was X-Men 1 opening the movie in concentration camps, changing non-comic fans thoughts on superhero stories intellectually, that was great. Marvel is not going to repeat that. Marvel constantly uses humor, stays on the light side and uses CGI as if the movies never had anything mind challenging to say. they don't want you to take the films seriously.
