MetalPSI Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Yawn Officially lost interest I am not far off from shunning everything at this point and sticking to video games as entertainment and watching reruns of old TV shows from the 90s and earlier Society has failed me AGGIEZ 1
Broke as a Joke Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 I guess they didn't run into this problem with the fantastic four? The good news is it gives people more time to forget the mostly horrible Fox movies, so that when they reuse plot lines it will feel fresher.

Stan Lee on the X-Men and More: The Lost Interview I think it was mentioned in 'Comic Creators On X-Men' which was something like 2006. I can't be certain though, as I don't have my copy on hand. I also think I remember it from a Marvel Masterworks introduction early on, telling that story. Again, I can't confirm, nor do I know a date offhand. Edited July 27, 2022 by Cat
rexinnih Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 OK, let's get some creative brainstorming here... "The X-Mutants..." "X-Force Mutants..." "Mutant Harder..." I got nothing. I do like how every reporter still uses "X-Men" to describe updates.
alexgross.com Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 i'm certain that whenever marvel finally makes an x-men movie, it will absolutely not have the word "Men" in it. i'm not sure how anyone could have watched the last few years of marvel releases and have any doubt about that. i wish i were wrong, but in this case "Mutants" is way, way more likely. zosocane 1

D84 Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 How about X-Tinct? With the that the MCU has been giving us, I don't care what they do, I'm not watching it. Even if Disney will pay me to sit through this garbage. Larryw7 and zosocane 2

Even if Disney will pay me to sit through this garbage. You can’t screw with The X-Men. Disney will keep the title and hopefully it will be an awesome start. Days of Future Past set the bar for an X-Men film and I’m really hoping Marvel raises it without a joke or wink every 15 minutes.

Xenosmilus Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 I believe there might be some misunderstanding. From what I recall (I maybe incorrect) Feige didn't want to start with the X-men but wanted to start slowing introducing Mutants and then lead into an x-men movie. Then there was that one executive who said something like X-men was an out dated name and should be changed...

Seems silly to bring back the cartoon with the name and then change it also they have an entire comic line with the name, no way they change it panic/fear is all I’m seeing fantastic_four 1

My point was that Feige didn't want mutants defined as x-men which seems logical to me if true.

That 'one executive' is Victoria Alonso, President of Of Physical, Post Production, VFX And Animation and Executive Producer of MCU movies since Avengers (2012). Marvel Studios Promotes Victoria Alonso To President Of Physical, Post Production, VFX And Animation When Disney was purchasing Fox Studios, she was one of the transition executives for the Marvel films from them. And after that Captain Marvel interview, it was assumed that line in Dark Phoenix about X-Men not accounting for female members came from her. The two matched up so much. As far as The Mutants, when Feige first announce Fantastic Four was in the work at SDCC 2019 he referred to the X-Men as 'The Mutants' which also lined up with Victoria Alonso's comment.
