Apocalypse was the most painfully offthemark film in recent memory . Not that it was way off , but because it was so close . With just a few tweaks to focus and character development it would ' ve been amazing . Make Xavier the horseman , Magneto into the de facto leader drop fridging his family , that was dumb , and treat ScottJeanKurtJubes as the focal point characters . We didn ' t need a third MagnetoXavier bromance story it totally undercut the chance to give new characters the spotlight that the viewer can actually connect with . Y ' know , the point of an Xmen story . <| sep |> This phrase gets thrown around a lot , but you really couldn ' t make this up . If I ' d predicted this a week ago , we ' d have thought No they wouldn ' t be so blatantly , cartoonishly evil , because we don ' t live in a land of improbable fiction . Stop being so pessimistic and silly uBroont .
