Uh, Roberto and Cecilia are both dark-skinned Afro-Latinos. Casting white Latinos to play them does their characters a disservice (and is a step back for minority representation), especially Roberto whose backstory revolves around being tormented for his dark skin. "Latino" and "Brazilian" are not races; they can be white, black, mestizo, etc.

Trailer shows no CGI and holds back heavily on plot.
Reactions: Ugh, this sucks. This 2 minute teaser doesn't convey the emotion I felt when I spent countless hours reading these comics. And they didn't even show their powers.
Trailer shows CGI and gives away big plotlines.
Reactions: Ugh, this sucks. They've already given away too much, and the CGI looked horrible. Would've been better to leave it out until they improved it.

Ok just saw trailer
Point 1) ONly like 100k views so far? Hmm
2) 7k - 800 like to dislike ratio is slightly troubling but not bad
3) They clearly went ALL OUT horror on this teaser, we'll see if that meets the actual film or not
4) The horror components may be a combo of Moonstar's mental powers and also Illyana like conjuring up a link to the Limbo realmForget the old ways - Krakoa is god.

Did stapling Logan on a generic looking western movie make it different? Originally Posted by SpiderClops

Are you one of those that thinks a product is "FANTASTIC!!!" just because the name of your favorite brand is plastered on it ? Figures. Originally Posted by Calaigah

Yeah so Fox is trying to do pretty much the opposite of Marvel/Disney. While I do think they need to get away from the messy camp of Singer, horror seems to be the wrong direction because it's going to further put the X-Men on the fringe, narrowing the audience that much more.
Honestly, that might not be a bad thing though and might contribute more toward DisMarvel getting the properties back to do them proper justice.
The X-Men aren't for adults-only. Never were.
Fox = not my X-Men.

Actually, I don't consider Logan to be different. It's a good movie, but different? Give me a break. An aged ex hero reluctantly goes on a last mission that gets him. Never seen that movie before. Originally Posted by Maestroneto

Well, I was actually going to use Logan as an example. But I didn't want to trigger people. Originally Posted by El Capitan

it the demon bear story. it's doesn't get much more horror themed than the one best new mutant stories ever. Originally Posted by Fokken

Demonic dimensions, horrific alternate futures, evil vampire goddess in the Amazon jungle, THE DEMON BEAR SAGA, the Fall of the Mutants storyline set on that freaky Island of Dr.Moreau-mutha-phuka, the BEYONDER casually murdering them one by one and then resurrecting them into emotionless traumatized drone children??
Just cuz they did it all in yellow spandex don't mean it wasn't horrific stuff, y'all.
