There's no info on whether those are the Rian Johnson or Weiss & Benioff trilogies or a continuation of the Skywalker saga.

But wow, Disney is going to be releasing a lot of movies.


How many of those are Marvel? (Other than the Untitled Marvel ones, obviously. I just don't the names of Marvel characters so don't know which of the named movies are.)

Other than the untitled films, just "Dark Phoenix" and "The New Mutants", which are both X-Men franchise films.

I feel like I enjoyed the X-Men movies more than most. I often think that not having read the comics gives me a big advantage with the movies as they have nothing to live up to for me, I can't think of one that I have disliked. Some I have enjoyed less than others, but they've all passed the time perfectly well.

I haven't watched most of them. I was never into mutants as a comic fan, and I wasn't all that impressed with the movies that have come out of them that I have seen, other than Deadpool. I haven't seen any of the Fantastic Four movies either, again, because I never really liked the comic characters.

The Last Stand is the only X-Men movie I don't like, but I actually really hate it.

I actually look at the first X-Men and Spider-Man trilogies very similarly. First movies were the best, second outings were very good but dragged a little bit and the third movies were franchise enders. Just gigantic dumpster fires. I can't tell which scene in a superhero movie best captured money being lit on fire, dark-emo Toby McGuire dancing on tables in Spidey 3, or the Joker dumping kerosine onto a pile of money before throwing a match onto it in TDK.

The new X-Men movies are quite good, Fassbender as Magneto is excellent. I think Apocalypse was hurt by the timing of its release more than anything else, though having your titular villain look as intimidating as Dowell Loggains didn't help.

Did you see Logan?

The Fantastic Four movies are all excrement, but aside from Dr. Doom, you're right there's not much to work with. Who cares about Thing in a universe with Hulk.

There's plenty to work with.  Doom, Silver Surfer... Galactus is just as big an existential threat as Thanos and I'm sure will be the big bad at some point.  It just seems like there's not much to work with because all three movies were terrible and all the characters were pathetic. 

Somebody else said it, but Disney has already made the Fantastic Four work perfectly on screen; they just called it The Incredibles.

I saw a rumor that Galactus is the next ultimate "big bad" for the next Marvel phase. Thanos set the bar for BBEG pretty high, so it would make sense.

I'm sure Disney can pull off Silver Surfer far better than FOX ever could. And Human Torch with Thing could be amazing in a buddy cop kind of way.

Honestly, the problem is Mr. "Fantastic" who, along with Plastic Man, is the worst freaking superhero. "Hey man, what's your superpower?" "I can change the channel from the couch without a remote."

He's a quiet badass.  He's smarter than the Imperials and the Rebels.  He tells Darth Vader what's what.  And his notorious MO is disintegrating his targets.

But mostly... yeah, the armor.

The next 'Star Wars' trilogy (2022-2026) will be the one from D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, the #GameOfThrones  co-creators.


Hahahahahahahahahahahahah

Rey was evil all along.

The Force Awakens:

~Almost sold BB-8 into bondage.

~Steals Millennium Falcon

~Steals Luke's lightsaber

~Gets Daniel Craig fired

~Out-glares Kylo Ren

~Frowns.  Repeatedly.

The Last Jedi:

~terrifies Luke

~goes immediately to dark side cave once in touch with the force

~evil clone snap in dark side cave vision

~Yells.  Repeatedly.

Rise of Skywalker:

~Finn dies.

~Rey destroys all of Coruscant with force lightning.

It's really the only logical conclusion, if you've been paying attention.

What’s the saying? Every time a Skywalker is born, God flips a coin?
