What's wrong with having the movies stick to the source material? I understand the movies need to be capped at two hours and there is a need to cut certain things in a particular story arc. But I mean, the comics are what made Marvel popular in the first place, so why deviate?
This is weirdly the most closed minded post I've ever seen you post lol. You say it like Marvel is in complete control of the movies when it's really the studios. Marvel owns the characters but people like Bryan Singer are telling the story. I don't see anything wrong with directors and writers putting their own spin on known arcs.

Days of Future Past we pretty great. Think I still enjoyed First Class more overall, but I knew it would be hard to top. Still right up there with The Avengers in my mind.
I didn't dislike First Class, but I definitely don't rate it near Avengers(which may be my top Marvel movie so far, in contention with IM1 and CA2), so I'm not sure what to make if this comparison =p
I have high hopes though, especially since X-Men:Apocalypse is already announced. If this movie doesn't turn out well there's almost no way they can recover it into that "sequel"(getting awkward with timelines).

Please don't lump the x-men and the fantastic four into the same pile as the actual marvel film studio stuff.
You can't really blame Marvel films for the poor quality of films that it had no actual control over. Well except to blame them for handing off the rights in the first place.
Stupid spiderman2 reboot crapshack...

Why is it close minded? I'm simply expressing my opinion here, that I'm not a fan of the Marvel movies, for reasons previously stated. I'm apparently in the minority and I'm ok with that. How does that make me close minded? I never said the rest of you couldn't enjoy it cause I don't. 
zzz
Edit: To clarify further, like red_, I do like the IM series, I enjoyed the Avengers for the most part, I haven't caught up with the Cpt. American movies. Thor1 was ok. X-men will forever be garbage in my eyes (DoFP I obv haven't watched yet).

I just watched the last episode of Warehouse 13.
I need to be alone for a while. Goodbye, endless wonder....

The old Spiderman (2002) is still one of my favorites. It's easier to have fond memories of action/superhero movies as a kid.

Wait Neo do you like any of the DC movies? And are you more of a Marvel person or DC person?
I think it's pretty cool that you grew up with Marvel. I did as well, but instead of collecting cards (How old are you? I don't even remember Marvel cards!) I grew up on the 1990's animated series and some comic books.

Neo don't answer the age question. The less this community knows about you, the better because it allows us to fear the red hammer that much more!
Sidenote: this is the first time in a while that Neo has just posted to be apart of the current topic and give a personal opinion and the guy gets his opinion picked apart. Lol. I foresee the darkness going back into the shadows and not coming out for a long time once again. Hahahah

I've always been a Marvel person. Even played Overpower back in the day when I was playing M:tG.
Never ventured into DC.

Haha yeah that's too bad, because personally I like it when the older gentlemen post on these forums. (Wave and Neo) Always interesting to me to hear what someone 10-20 years above my age has to say about a particular topic.
Of course I can't blame Neo for not posting here. Everyone is just too mean to him!

I was more thinking of "Old man" Neo when I said the 20 years. I honestly have no idea what that guy's age is, but I'm inclined to believe that he might be in his forties. Of course I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly that was the "joke" that he was that old.
Also my age is 67% more than 12.
And of course, I mean no disrespect to anyone by throwing these numbers out there. (If any of you were offended, although I'd be surprised if you were)

OLD MAN NEO might need his heart meds after hearing that.

I didn't play the card game, just bought some packs because they looked badass and were Marvel related. I did that with a bunch of TCG's actually because I really liked the art of some of them, and I was really into art in my teens. I give a lot of credit to my sketch ability(that I've probably since lost due to not practicing anymore) when I was younger to just copying the art off of cards, D&D monster manual art, and magazine pages until I was good enough to start putting the images from my own head onto paper.

+ Show Spoiler [Girl Problems] +I've had a couple days to mull this over, but I haven't really come to a decision because of how much it means to more than just me.
I've been dating Dani for close to 2 months now. We would always meet at neutral locations or hang out at my place or whatever, which didn't really bother me. Wednesday night I decide that we should get dinner because I ended up getting out of work early and since I was on her side of town I text her and let her know I'm coming over to see if I couldn't cook dinner or whatever for her because she had been having a long day. She's not really open to it happening because it seems like she's hiding something, which turns out to be true because she has a kid who is 5 and hadn't brought him up at all during any of the dates we have had.
It's not a total deal breaker (the kid is adorable, and really well mannered.) but I'm kind of upset that she wanted to hide it from me. We've been talking so it's not like the whole thing is broken off, but I feel like something like a kid people would be upfront about in a relationship. I understand the stigma she has most likely had in the past about the whole kid thing, but I feel like not telling me is just the tip of the iceberg. Is she hiding more? If so what?
It's likely that I'm just paranoid and have nothing to worry about, but I am kinda hurt that she wouldn't tell me sooner. Am I really that crazy/selfish that I should have assumed that this would have been brought up sooner? Were going to lunch today so I'll see her then and I'm sure we'll have a conversation as the whole Brother Getting Arrested thing interrupted our dinner, but for the most part Wednesday between us has been radio silent. Thoughts?
