Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

But that brings Unfortunate Implications, teach the kids to use force as self defence to anti sentiment, and things will only scalate. It's justified if Sentinels becomes the norm as in the comics, but I doubt we will get to that extreme in the MCU.
One way I could see it, and it would be a dark take, is that the goverment do their own sokovia accords for mutants, in ehich, as an arms race kind of way againts other countries, obligues any school for the gifted to teach them to fight, so that in any other event like the New York invasion, Thanos, or a war with another country, they are to be called to fight.
Cyclops did have a kid in the present, with Madelyne. And that kid is Cable
He was raised in an alternate timeline (by Scott and Jean 616 as it happens) but he was Scott’s kid from the main timeline
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI don't know whether that was the motive or whether it was his intention all along to explain why Rachael has a better, more perfect connection to the Phoenix than Jean.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersClaremont disliked Cyclops? I mean sure, he often portrayed him as overly strict and stuck-up, but he still wrote him as the unquestioned leader of the X-Men as well.
When I think of writers who irrationally hate Scott, I rather think of Jason Aaron or Rick Remender.

Certified: 48.0% West Asian, 6.5% South Asian, 15.8% North/West European, 15.7% English, 7.4% Balkan, 6.6% ScandinavianSince we're talking X-Men, I really hope we get some version of this moment for Nightcrawler (who probably didn't have much to do in the Fox movies himself):
If not a 1:1 recreation, then something extremely to it, like how Civil War had "with great power comes great responsibility" without actually using the phrase.
Good point, and that makes me wonder how the MCU will handle the Fantastic Four. After all, the comics are pretty much an ensemble series where each character gets an equal amount of attention.

My guess is that Reed will be the Quill/Stark "lead" character of the group, though the others will still have equal focus, kind of like the 2005 film. Honestly, that movie balanced out the main cast pretty well all things considered.
Not really. I think at one point Magneto tried to set up his own school and it blew up in his face, though.

Disney100 Marathon | DreamWorks MarathonThere’s a Braddock academy supposedly
Emma Frost used to have her own school
Her hellions and the new mutants had some rivalry going on. It was neat before they all died
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThen there was the second school Emma ran for Generation Next, with Banshee running it alongside her.
One Strip! One Strip!There was also Avengers Academy and the Wakandan School for Alternative Studies.
Alas the avengers academy
Between Hank being Ultron’d and that whole thing where some children got kidnapped by Arcade, I’m pretty sure that the academy is kaput
Forever liveblogging the AvengersTo circle this back to Xavier's school, I think it might be worthwhile to establish that the X-Men are an organization that exists in parallel with the school but not all X-Men are faculty/students at the school and only a small minority of the faculty/students are X-Men.
Heck some of the faculty might not even be mutants. You don't need to be a mutant to teach math to mutants after all, just be good at teaching math and be willing to work with an unusual student base.
The Foxverse wasn't actually half bad at this, at least for the early films. Since the school was depicted as being far larger then the X-Men team.
Wasn't there one comic where it was revealed that the Xavier Institute actually had one token human student?

As for Storm, with Thor not talking in big dramatic speeches, that leaves the opening for such wide open.
