"Teen Writer" Chosen to Script X-Men: First Class Movie

GOD NO NO NO NO!!!!! X-men is my favorite marvel storyline, they seriously need to take it back from FOX, now!!!!! x-men 1 and 2 were good, but they had to go and F the third one up...this will be a travesty! they need to go forward in time, forget Magneto, that boat has left, they now need Apocalypse. This will be terrible if they do this

Seriously but still has to be done by Marvel only.

The Oc and gossip girl sounds lame and stupid. I thought Xmen 3 was ok but not as good as Xmen 1 or 2. Xmen should go further in the future instead of the past. Lets see mature heroes with mature problems instead of teenage kids. Remember Zoom and Skyhigh...Bryan Singer is trying to get his mojo back after his miserable superman movie. This movie sounds like it is going to suck badly...

maybe an xmen flop is a good thing. I'm not sure if this one will but if it did maybe marvel would be in a position to buy the rights back.

OMG
the whole movie's gona be about Teen angst and the x-men dealing with high school bullies with only maybe one, 30 second fight scene...Jesus, Hollywood likes to make stupid ass mistakes sometimes!!! They don't know what fans really want...hollywood sure is slow sometimes...

if they really want to focus on a younger team they should make the new mutants, some great characters in there and the comic was pretty good for the most part..imagine seeing darkchild in a movie!

OK, my turn.

X-Men: First Class is an AWESOME premise. However, being done by the geniuses from OC and what-not tend to make me shudder to the core. I am a HUGE fan of ALL comic book entites in the DC and Marvel Universe, not necessarily all of the films, but 98% of the characters and storylines.

Also, as for the X-Men movies. All 3 were good. You have to remember, this isn't canon, I mean, marrow was a guy in the 3rd movie, c'mon, not everything is going to be directly taken from the comics, there is a bit of creative license, and Kelsey Grammer as Beast was PERFECT! IMO of course. I liked the characters, the stories, oh and they killed Cyclops. AWESOME. He's a douche.

My buddy and I here at work have an ongoing series of games, the last in which i posed the question, "without taking away his powers, killing him, giving him more or different powers or rewriting his history, how would you make Scott Summers cooler?" Well, my buddies answer sucked, so I gave mine, and it goes something like this.

So I would have him go to Forge, make him some badass armor that absorbs massive amounts of solar energy and have him make a new helmet for Cyc that channels his optic blasts into 2 "guns"...already pissed off he teams up with Cable and I title it;

Father & Son:
Guerilla Warfare

They go around hunting people bent on the destruction of mutants, and mutants bent on the destruction of humans, maiming or killing them.

Anyone down for that? Sounded cool to me when I pitched it.

WHY..YOU KNOW?WHAT THE HECK? YOU WANT TO REVIVE THE XMEN FRANCHISE OR KILL IT? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT RAPE OUR HEROES?..I THINK TO REVIVE THE FRANCHISE, FOR ONE GET THE GUY THAT MADE IT, SINGER, HE SHOULDNT DO SUPERMAN, HE SHOULD DO XMEN. AND WHAT PEOPLE WANT IS APOCALYPSE,THATS WHAT PEOPLE WANNA SEE, WHAT KINDA LAMO IS WANTING TO GO BACKWARD,YOUR GOING TO MAKE A YOUNG WOLVERINE? A YOUNG EVERYONE? THE BEST STORIES ARE THEM GROWN AND MATURE, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? YOU BUNCH OF DODO BRAINS.

Wolverine that is...sorry LOL

Whoa!!!! Have you guys ever seen Chuck? Chuck is one of the best TV shows on television right now. NOT A "TEEN" SHOW!!!
Just because someone has written other shows that I may spit upon (OC and Gossip Girl) does not mean he cannot write a good script for X-men.
Here is a quote from superherohype.com: "Resulting film would likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006, and enlist such characters as Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Colossus, Jubilee and Shadowcat, who have appeared prominently or made cameos in prior pics." This does not sound like a prequel to me, and it actually sounds good! I hope this is the case.
Fox did an excellent job with X-men 1 & 2. 3 was not the best, but it is still better than the majority of comic book movies out there (Brett Rattner is just a dumb *&^%). Wolverine looks awesome, and while I may be iffy about Magneto, I will give it a chance.
Fox wants to make money, they don't want to screw this up.

Oh and Ratner's work on X3 looked exactly the same as Singer's. Filming wise it was just as good as the first two so stop blaming the shitty script on the director god damn it! It's like blaming your parents for YOUR faillures. You wrote the script, they just tried to direct YOU through it as best as they could! Granted some directors suck because they can't direct worth shit like GOYER or SCHUMAKER but that is not RATNER's case!

this is not cool at all
we cant have the guy from the OC directing one of the best movie franchises ever
he will turn into a crappy teen movie and DAT CANT HAPPEN TO WOLVERINE AND CYCLOPS AND ALL THE OTHER X-MEN
the premise is awesome but please, for the love of all that is good of superhero movies, dont make it a teen coming of age story we need more bad ass superhero movie IRON MAN awesome and Marvel corrected the mistake of the Hulk with the Incredible Hulk which was amazing now continue with the X-men and make them jus like the comics NOT LIKE THE OC OR THE SHIT SHOW GOSSIP GIRL p.s. PLEASE MAKE A AWESOME SPIDERMAN SEQUEL no more should i still be spiderman storylines please more action more spidey fights

I don't know Ion dude, on the big screen it would look like a big episode of Captain Power but with a douche as main character. It's iffy, not very..."X"-y. I'd rather see his brother Havok unleash... well... havok.

Ooh, then i agree :) Actually, it would be cool for them to create a gun-totting crew with Cyclops, Cable, Bishop, Gambit and Deadpool as well. Where the future would revert back to Western spagetti times!

Ion, sounds like a fun.

What do you think of Cyke's new direction in the comics? Forming X-force and having them go kill people. Personally I think Cyclops's character has always been kinda lame, but I also thought his character was necessary for the team. He makes a great foil for Wolvie.

I haven't read the last story about Apocalypse a few years back where Cyclops was lost but when he came back, he was a bit more kick ass which is probably why he started up x-force again... it's kinda cool :) He's still a douche LOLOL :P

LOL, cyke is a douche...but I still am kinda wondering if he's being influenced by an outside force or not even himself. It seems like to drastic a change for him. Maybe he is a skrull...haha.

Man, everyone's gonna hate me, but I liked the OC. I dunno if anyone actually watched it or not, but I thought it was a decent show. The blond chick was a loser but the rest of it was okay. Besides, Seth was a kindred soul man! And he got the hottie AND he published his own comic!! I mean, that's pretty cool. I think Schwartz is okay, but I think the concept of making a prequel (if that's what they're doing) is stupid. Everyone is right that they need to move forward. X-Men three was HORRIBLE tho! I mean, whadda shytfest! And ION, I thought Summers was cool too, I mean, he acts kinda lame, but nnot everyone can be the anti hero. In the end, there has to be a boyscout!

I agree X3 was awesome, it wasn't as character drivin with an in-depth storyline but the action was good and the more x-men, the merrier. And DurkinKnight yor're not alone I liked the OC too.

Teeible idea, what the need to do is a reboot like what was done with Batman. And they need to get a pureist to write and direct. the first 2 x-men were pretty good but the background stories of some charcters pissed me off. the third complete sucked it made me blow chunks. Do a reboot with pureist and don't make them teenagers, make them older maybe late college ages no younger.
