Well, John Wick is done. Sadness in the beginning, but from then on out it's gratuitous violence and revenge porn. Porn meaning, if you want the badguy to get his in the end, you'll get off on this. Pretty much what I expected.

Now for I, Frankenstein!

@Ava - I will. The roads are pretty snowy. Might not return these movies if they don't bother to plow soon. D:

X-Men was my comic when I was young. It's the one comic that I actually bought. It's not like I feel that things can't be changed. I enjoy crossovers and alternate universes and all sorts of stuff like that. I love fanfiction. But the X-Men movies all felt like bad fanfiction. They cast Charles Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Wolverine really well. But almost everyone else was meh. The stories they told were always kinda "WTF". The Wolverine movies are godawful! I expected First Class to suck with that long history of crap. I'm not saying it was the height of cinema, but like I said, the cast had great chemistry. They took an interesting approach to the origin story. It wasn't comics compliant, but it also wasn't so far out in left field that it was terrible. I think it accidentally hit the right balance of cheese and story and everything. From what I hear the movie was sort of thrown together quickly, so as I said, I feel it was a bit serendipitous, and thus hard to recreate. Especially when they pulled in Bryan Singer to helm it after what he'd done to the previous films. :P Commercial successes maybe, but not that great for fans or anyone with taste

But that's just my opinion. You should watch First Class. See what you think. I find Magneto and Mystique's whole "Mutant and Proud" ra ra kinda funny considering that they're basically saying "Mutant and proud, except you Charles. Stay out of my head!" Let's just say that it's made for some interesting meta to read. :)

Loki is a fan favorite. Though I feel like a lot of fangirls have this super woobie romantic look at him that makes me kinda laugh. Hiddles does a good woobiefication, but that's not my preferred interpretation by a longshot. I feel like Loki is the new Snape in a way. Except movie Loki is pretty, but if they looked at the comics version of Loki everyone would be horrified.
