If the blu-ray doesn't collect all of these nuggets it will be a tragedy:
Remember I was all like, "It's not that good" when DoFP was getting raves? Well, now Apocalypse is getting panned for being too convoluted. Uh, yeah, of course it is. Welcome to my vantage point.
It's kind of hard to take satisfaction in a scene that shows you how Professor X lost his hair when you are unavoidably aware that it could not have happened the same way in the original timeline, (which was never depicted all the way through these parts of back history) isn't it? Fans jumped on board the "erase the weaker films" idea with a kind of mob mentality that seems to be pretty typical around pop theory, but Nightcrawler showing up in this new continuity to join them at a younger age proves that it grants no solid affirmation to the stronger past installments, either. Anybody else wonder how they could have defeated Apocalypse in the universe in which they did not meet Kurt before X2? Oh, not in so many words, major media film critics, but suddenly many of you do notice how it has gotten "confusing" ...? Well, how about that? Who could have guessed?
And another thing that I have said for years which, lo and behold, is a common refrain finally here: It is fine for Wolverine to be the key protagonist, but you shouldn't obsess and underplay characters who are nearly as vital for defining the team as he is, such as -- I've specifically maintained all along -- the (now) notedly sidelined Storm. So maybe now my argument that "as bad as the treatment of the Cyclops / Xavier / Phoenix deaths in The Last Stand obviously were, it's still a bit disappointing that a Storm led follow up didn't happen" will get some respect as well. What's that, popular reviewers? You are in fact on the same page about the Professor's leadership dynamic getting a bit monotonous with so much made of Erik? Huh, shocking.
Eh, at least the world is catching up.
Yet I also feel at this point that I must emphasize there are still some true bright spots in this latest movie. After all, somebody has to stay tempered enough to be this time toward you folks like, "It's not all that bad."
It looks like they're combining the Old Man Logan and Messiah storylines, but replacing Cable with Wolverine.
Looks amazing.
They give away too much in trailers now but damn I still want to see this.
Interesting. I didn't know they where working on a TV show other than Legion, which I actually saw the trailer for earlier today. I don't really know much about the character Legion, but the trailer looked interesting.
Watched the first episode of Legion. I enjoyed it. Pretty visual show. Main character David is likable. Hope it does well.

A couple of reviewers are calling Logan the "Dark Knight of the X-Men franchise".
As if I needed to move my hype needle up even more.
Is anyone watching Legion on FX? I've been watching and boy is that one weird, awesome, messed up show. Really nothing to do with the X-Men universe as we know it, but still really cool. It has a really interesting visual style that I don't think I've seen anything quite like it on TV before.
I saw Logan last night. Definitely worth a watch. Honestly at times it barely even feels like a comic book movie.
