Vinnie "I'm the Juggernaut bitch" Jones is another bad portrayal.
It was DoFP they were hinting at.

One of the most frustrating things about Fox's X-men movies were the cameos they used.
- Thread starter Slayven

I went to school with the X1 Jubes, you see her in the classroom of x1.
Then shows up in the pit in X2, I don't remember where you see her in Last Stand.
So yeah, they've had three different Jubilees, three different actresses.
That's it. I remember being annoyed. I hated Singer's X-Men movies from day one.
I think the best way to describe it is that the X-Men movies treated everyone except Wolverine, Beast, Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique the way that the MCU movies treated Hawkeye
Wasn't he only in that one Claremont story that made Saturnyne the White Queen with Viper has her Princess? Where Storm's team was called the XSE?
can't wait until we got MCU X-Men. so many way they could go and I'm confident it'll at least be more faithful to the comic than FoX-Men
Theres literally no shared characterization between her and her comic namesake. Just power set.
It's amazing that Sinister's Essex Corp cameoed in at least four movies.
Even the powerset was off. Before the movies Rogue absorbed your powers and knocked you out. She didn't drain your life force and possibly kill you.
Unless you she held you too long like Ms Marvel or were young like the first boy she kissed (His name was FREDDY BTW as written by Ann Nocenti in Classic X-Men #44) you would be fine after her power wore off.
Also Rogue bleaches her hair.
Edit Actually I even reread the B Story in Classic X-Men #44 and she only knocks him out for a minute.
Also forgot she gets all your memories and skills in that time too.

So many of their characters were off that it's easier to just name the ones they got right.
Eternals is set mostly on Earth actually and not off world and is expected to have a story that spans 10s of thousands of Earth's history. I won't be surprised if there's some connections to mutants and Inhumans in there.

X-Men needs a full TV series with lots of seasons to show all characters and stories. A high quality series can be so popular and don't know why they don't make it.
And alongside that, they can make single character movies (with 3,4 characters in second roles) like Logan.

We had 3 Jubilees and 3 Kitty Prydes in X-Men movies!

Im glad for streaming wars and Disney+ now a thing. Soon we dont have to limit 3 Marvel movies a years, soon we will have Marvel for every month.
Of course Xmen series will be coming. But Kevin Feige is too power and everything has to go through him and his obsessing planning. I'm sure hes furiously working on his 10 or 20-years plan right now. I guess the soonest we see Xmen is in 3 years from now after Young Avengers.
I like your idea about TV series and movies together and it's the best thing they can do for X-Men. A TV series to introduce lots of characters and showing them in hours and hours of small/medium arcs, and then some movies with important characters for big arcs.
Because they nailed an Oscar-winning actress before she was an Oscar-winning actress.
I hated how her makeup became more and more "just blue paint":
Ahh, just like Harvey Dent in the 90's Batman movies. (Billy Dee Williams <> Tommy Lee Jones) smh
I mean from a storytelling perspective, it doesn't make sense for Trask to want Mystique anyway.
It would've been much better if the Sentinels in the future timeline used Rogue's genetic code to absorb the powers of mutants they kill, with each Sentinel having access to the same "database" of stored powers so they can use the one most appropriate for their current target.
Then perhaps Trask, in the 70s, could've been looking into a way to transfer the powers of mutants into his Sentinels so they could adapt to them on the fly, with his prototype Sentinels possessing the same mutant power that Darwin had.
Imagine how hype it would have been for a Sentinel in the 70s to go up against Magneto and change its entire atomic structure from metal to, say, diamond so that his powers would no longer work on it.
Wouldn't that have been much cooler than Magneto taking over the Sentinels?
Does X3 Angel count? He was hyped as fucked, shows up in for about 30 seconds and then....shows up for 30 seconds again, and that's it
Remember when he was an X-Man in the movie?
When she was in her 30s in 1963 (First Class) or as the teenage sister of Silver Fox in 1979 (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)?

to be fair i liked some of his few scenes. His scene at the start where hes a kid chopping of his wings is kinda haunting.
But then X3 just had to shove the mutant cure and dark phoenix into one storyline. Baffling
I believe the train sequence was from reshoots with no Singer involvement. 2nd unit director did this? Supposed to be the best part of the film. I'll still never watch it.
This thread has opened up old wounds I thought that healed. It's not even that I was emotionally attached to obscure mutants that were used as little more than a cameo of a mutant power and then discarded, but they were emblematic of how practically all the characters were similarly mishandled and wasted.
I'm so glad that Fox X-Men is finally over.

So weird. Really the only notable thing he did was get possessed by Seleeeeennnneee... Okay I think I see how this happened.
It took a trailer leak to finally convince Fox to give it a shot.

I mean X3 has a white fascist military version of Storms pre-teen African nephew.
This studio did not care.
Emma Frost was egregious, how'd they take the HBIC of the X-Men and demote her to lackey is insulting.
And of course there's Darwin where I cannot even begin to go into how awful everything surrounding him was

And this guy is listed as Kid Omega in the credits?
Which is probably a mistake, but it just shows you how little they cared about the property or characters. They just filled the movie with a bunch of "whatever, we'll figure out who they're supposed to be later."
This did end up being a typo, apparently.
I think it would have been okay as the starting point of her character, after all did she start out as Shaw's white queen, but for some reason dfop unceremoniously killed most of the first class cast

The only characters in the MCU films that felt as wasted as the average X-Men film franchise character were Quicksilver and Strucker in Age of Ultron.
and thank god after that they didn't care enough to interfere much...worked out for the best in the end.
