6 Ideas for the X-Men Movies After Logan
I saw Logan last weekend and enjoyed the movie, though I wasn’t blown away or anything of the like. Maybe the film would have been more impactful if I hadn’t been so disappointed with recent X-Men films. They’ve become a mess of time travel and alternate timelines, so there hasn’t really been a solid, emotional connection to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine or Patrick Stewart’s Professor X for a few years now.
Still, it was a fine, enjoyable movie. The real question is where the X-Men go from here.
So dramatic
Logan was the last franchise performance for Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, two mainstays of the X-Men movies since the very beginning. It’s a pretty conclusive movie and, in a better world, might mark the entire end of the franchise. But nope! Fox Studios has several X-plates spinning at the moment. The franchise has to go somewhere after Logan, no matter how final it seemed.
I happen to have a few ideas on that! Join me after the jump!
It’s Monday Fun Day!
Let’s kick this week off with a bit of fun! Internet superstar The Unusual Suspect has rejiggered Star Wars: The Force Awakens into the style of the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer. It’s great!
This guy is an awesome genius. I wish I had skills to edit videos like this. Then I’d be a popular Internet personality!

How Rogue One Should Have Ended
Saw Logan last night. It was alright. I enjoyed it. But I wasn’t as blown away as some reviewers have seemed. Still, fine enough film.Maybe I’ll write up a review later.
For now, how about we remember the fun of Rogue One?
Now I remember that I never wrote a Rogue One review. Man, I’m getting lazy at writing these movie reviews. It’s OK, though, I’m having fun writing other stuff. And creating new blog mascots. So thanks, How It Should Have Ended people, for giving me some Friday material.

Can Even Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Compete in a Post Skull Island World?
We’re living in a post-Kong: Skull Island trailer world. Earlier this week, they ran one of the coolest, most artsy and catchy movie trailers I’ve ever seen. And watching the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer this morning, I couldn’t help but feel…let down.
I mean, it’s a fine trailer. It’s funny and has some solid one-liners. It’s probably not the strongest Guardians 2 trailer they’ve put out. But man, that Skull Island trailer was something else, right? I’m gonna go watch that one again.

Doctor Strange Was Honestly Good!
Doctor Strange comes out on DVD today, so let’s celebrate with an Honest Trailer!
I love them things. And I loved this movie. Though I suppose the heat has worn off a little bit. And it never helps when Honest Trailers really nails them for all their faults. Poor Doctor Strange movie.
