I love X-men but what have the X-Men done that's good recently? X-Men is old hat.
It doesn't matter when it comes to the movies- they have decades' worth of material to pick from.
They have decades worth of material to pick from and you know they're going still going to make it about Wolverine and Cyclops and Jean Grey
Same deal with Spider-man.
Making Spider-Man a teenager.
Facts:
1. Spider-Man was a teenager in Amazing for like 30 issues.
2. Spider-Man's most popular stories are of him as an adult. Venom. The first super hero to be married. The every man. The guy balancing work, marriage, bills, and superhero side gig with no thanks from anybody. The college drop out. Gwen Stacy dying.
3. The above description is why Spider-Man is so popular.
4. Who gives a flying fuck about teenage Spider-Man.
5. Almost every Spider-Man movie in the past decade has been about teenager Spider-Man. Who gives a fuck. What made Spider-Man popular is absent in these films.
They'd do the same shit with X-Men: just retread shit rather than actually get into stories that made them famous to begin with despite literally decades of material.
