Same here.
I started to watch it last night. I only watched for about 30 minutes before turning it off. It's a really weird film. There is, like, NO narrative hook. I'm not really sure why any of us are supposed to care about any of these characters. I'll finish it, but I need a lot more drugs.
Right there with you. Less than zero interest.
That's it right there isn't it. Why should we be interested in these super-dooper newbs who were apparently there all along and never bothered to help because reasons. It's almost insulting. That and they all just look boring as ****.
Mutants are the biggest problem. Blade/Vampires/Supernatural stuff were never big news. The paranormal is always hidden in the shadows and operates in the fringes of society. The FF could've been lost in space/some alternate dimension, which is what I imagine they'll go with. Mutants are a legitimate issue considering how many of them there are and the way the whole concept works.
Then how do we explain Apocalypse, Logan, Selene, Xavier and so on and forth? Is every single Mutant going to be from [current day]? Nah, there's waaaaay too much lore in the X-Verse. That's more or less the same with AoS Inhumans, and it was underwhelming. You need the "superior race of the future/children of the atom" angle to properly do the X-Men, otherwise they're just another group of metas. I want Sinister going on tirades about Scott having to creampie Jean for the survival of the Mutant Race; nothing else will suffice.
