32	* The fact that this franchise along with the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' is what brought comic books films into the 21st century by combining the use of top notch CGI to render superpowers and compelling characters and story. The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse itself owes its existence to the ''X-Men'' film series. In the words of ''Forbes'' journalist Mark Hughes:
33	-->"The franchise served as a proving ground for concepts and effects later employed by other studios to expand our understanding of what's possible in the superhero genre. From grounded gritty storytelling to ensemble team-ups, from convincing superhuman powers to spinoffs and soft retcons, from R-ratings to loving self-satire, ''X-Men'' was groundbreaking and deserves our respect for its many important accomplishments."
34	* The Wolverine solo trilogy managed a very rare achievement -- a trilogy which has [[EvenBetterSequel the next installment performing critically and financially better]] than the previous one with audience support.
