Toy Story 4 Review

Toy Story 4
Review
So I saw Toy Story 4 yesterday and here's my review of it.....It was great. I had doubts on this film to be honest because I didn't really think we needed a Toy Story 4 because the third film ended on such a great note. So I didn't see the point until I saw this film and it change my mind it was really good seeing all these characters again. Now I will say this film focuses more on Woody then the other toys and also introduces new toys like Duke Kaboom played by Keanu Reeves aka John Wick, he was my favourite new toy in the film. The film was good and it was emotional too because if you grew up with Toy Story you will get why its so emotional and I did get a little misty eye. Also the new toys are funny like Sporky, Ducky, and Bunny. This was a great film I would recommend this film to anyone who loves Pixar and the Toy Story Franchise.  This film is good and you will cry too I give Toy Story 4 8 out of 10 and A-. 
It's also going to be  Pixar's last sequel film and I think it's for the best because Pixar should focus more on original ideas. Also I will admit there will be things that happen in the movie that will upset certain Toy Story fans so just giving you a heads up. Still you will have a good time with it.
So Long...Pixar Sequels.

The deal has closed Disney owns Fox.

The deal has been closed Disney now owns Fox. Now I'm both excited and nervous about this for many reasons like I'm excited for an MCU X Men and Fantastic Four films or tv whatever happens, but yet I'm nervous Disney hasn't done a good job with Star Wars and I really didn't like Captain Marvel. Now best thing we can all do is just wait and see what happens.

After Dark Phoenix, Disney fix this but no rushing take your time with this franchise.
So anyone you've seen My X Men TV Series fan cast, My MCU Wolverine Trilogy cast, and I did an old X Men Fan Cast two years ago. So here is my idea for a new X Men film trilogy in the MCU if they go with a movie series instead of tv series.

Now I have six choices for director of this film and don't worry none of them are sex offenders LOL. My choices are Travis Knight (Bumblebee and Kubo of the Two Strings.) Greg Barlanti (The Flash TV series, Arrow, and Supergirl.) Jonathan Levine (50/50, Warm Bodies, and Night Before.) Guy Ritchie (King Arthur, Sherlock Homes, Aladdin.) Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Real Steel, Night of the Museum trilogy.) Niki Caro (Upcoming film Mulan, The Zookeeper's Wife, and North Country.)

If I had to choose I personally would go with Travis Knight because he made an actual good Transformers film that is more true to the source material and story is actually good.

Now here is my cast for an MCU X Men Film

Yeah I did keep the actors who I would cast in a tv series but I did do some recasting though.

Now one of my ideas is the film is about the original five and I know they are kind of boring but I think Marvel should start with this and future films like the second X Men film. Introduces Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Gambit, and Rogue. No Wolverine till the third film because Wolverine was done to death in Fox's X Men films, but I would recommend they give Wolverine his own film series and everyone is happy. Also they are not teenagers, they are full grown adults and they've been X Men for awhile now this a coming of age and learning what it means to be X Man. The film could speak for everyone who are judge by the skin colour, religion, sexuality, and this film is about mutants who have powers but they are looked down upon for it. Now how are their mutants in the MCU? well my guess is give it five more years they will explain because after Dark Phoenix The X Men franchise needs a long time to get fixed.

Robbie Amell as Scott Summers/Cyclops
 
Cyclops is the team leader of the X Men and this film Cyclops is the main character of the film. Scott is the first X Man and is Xavier's heir he's also in a relationship with Jean. Cyclops has been done terribly in Fox's X Men films we need to get this character done right and that's why he needs to be the main character of this film. We all want to see Scott as a leader and well written character.

Jane Levy as Jean Grey
Jean Grey the telepath and the most powerful X Men of the team. However, her powers are also very dangerous too. Jean and Scott are in a romantic relationship and there are no love triangles.

Daniel Radcliffe as Hank McCoy/Beast
Hank McCoy the smartest and inventor of the X Men. Hank will not turn into the blue furry beast we all know love till the sequel and also the film set Hank up to join the Avengers to represent the mutant community.

Jamie Bell as Warren Worthington the Third/Angel
The X Man wth angel wings. Warren is son of a rich family that owns a massive company who just wants his dad to accept him for who he is. Angel like Cyclops needs to be a well written character that was wasted by Fox and this film he's hot shot who tries to show off all the time.

Colton Haynes as Bobby Drake/Iceman
Bobby Drake the mutant who can turn into ice. Ice Man accepts his mutants powers but has trouble coming out to his parents not a mutant but as a gay guy.

Ralph Fiennes as Charles Xavier/Professor X
The founder of the X Men and its leader. Xavier has kept the X Men a secret from SHEILD and The Avengers until after the events Endgame and now mutants are being becoming known to the world.

Kelly MacDonald as Moira MacTaggert
Moira MacTaggert is a geneticist and an expert of mutant affairs. Unlike the Moira we got in the X Men films where she was a CIA agent this version is more like her comic counterpart and a love interest for Charles like Fox's X Men film series. 

Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury 
Nick Fury's role in the film is they he learns about the X Men. He wants the X Men to be more like the Avengers but Xavier doesn't want that he wants his team to be their own team and fight save a world that hates and fear them.

Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill
Maria Hill is Nick Fury's second who helps him on missions.

Jared Harris as Bolivar Trask
Bolivar Trask the creator of sentinels and anti-mutant in the film he's progress of building the sentinels and he is working with William Stryker to erratic the mutant gene.    

Christian Slater as William Stryker
William Stryker once worked for the Weapon X program and unlike the previous versions he is a religious fanatic who believes mutants are the devil's children. Stryker's hatred for mutants is so strong he even killed his own wife and son after learning he was a mutant.

Daniel Craig as Erik Lansher/Magneto
Magneto would not be the villain of the film but would be the villain in the next one. Magneto's role is he's currently locked away but is plot to escaping reform the brotherhood of mutants and take out of human kind for the mutants.

Ioan Gruffudd as Mister Sinister
Mr. Sinister would be the film's main villain and he's a character long over due for a big screen adaption. Mr. Sinister's role in the film he is working with Stryker and Trask but is actually double crossing them because he's posing as a human named Robert Windsor. Mr. Sinister seeks only to destroy human kind and make mutants into his experiments to destroy the world.

So thats my cast for a Marvel Studios X Men Reboot I know it's small but wait till you see my sequel fan cast. I also I know the cast is mainly white actors but look the X Men represent everyone who has been discriminated for their colour of skin, sexuality, religion, and gender. I just needed to write this because I know some people will say your cast is not diverse enough but just remember the X Men represent everyone!  Watch video of the late Stan Lee talking about the his idea for X Men and what they represent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpBxvzrp5Ng


Here are my ideas for an MCU X MEN film reboot.

10. Introduce the X Men in phase five and make team the original five.
(Google Image)
Now after Dark Phoenix I think it is best for Marvel and Disney not to make an X Men film for awhile like give it five years. I think Marvel should focus more on making a good Fantastic 4 reboot film instead of X Men. Phase five is the best way to bring back the X Men and the team they should go with is the original five. I know that team sounds boring and many are just like, they should go with the 90s team and if they do that I'm fine with that. I think the original five is good way to interduce the X Men. The X Men should be a team that's kept a low profile from the rest world now I don't how mutants are going to be interduce in the MCU some say Tony's snap that killed Thanos might have something to do with it. Make sense or the X Men have always been the MCU just been very quiet and haven't taken part of the events from phase 1,2, and 3. I don't know how MCU will introduce the X Men but I trust Kevin Feige to do a good job introducing them.

9. Give X Men that were wasted in the films their chance to shine like Cyclops, Angel, Gambit, Rogue, Psylocke, and even Storm needs to shine out more.
(Google Image)
Now I do love some of Fox's X Men films like First Class, Days of Future's Past, The Wolverine, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, X Men, X 2, and Logan. Everything else was crap especially their last one Dark Phoenix and that is why Logan is actual ending to Fox's X Men film Series. Fox's X Men series focus too much on Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, and Mystique. MCU's X Men films need to be more about the X Men and also MCU should do spin off movies about certain X Men characters like give Wolverine his own movies before you have the character join the X Men. Do the same for Gambit, Storm, Nightcrawler, and also make X Factor, X Force, New Mutants, Generation X, and Uncanny Avengers. Look at Cyclops for example in the comics and animated series the character was treated with a lot of respect and he was a leader, he was a fighter, he had problems but he try to fix it, and he was Stan Lee's favourite X Men. What the MCU needs to do with the character is make him the leader we all know and love. Make him the face of the X Men and have him lead it and not get knocked out or killed. Make him likeable too. But not just Cyclops but also Gambit, Rogue, and many others that to need to get the spot light as well. I would love to see a proper Gambit get done right were he's funny and super cool. Also Rogue we need her to be more like Rogue from the comics a leader, a hero, and a full blown redneck. 


8. Make these films more about the X Men then just one person and what it means to be X Men
(Google Image)
Now this one thing we need to see is that the Marvel's X Men film need to be about the X Men and their goal as a team that saves a world that hates and fears them. Fox's X Men films were always about Wolverine and we need these X Men films to be about the X Men, also no Mystique as good guy no one likes that. Another idea I have is make the first film is from Scott Summers's POV, the second film is from Storm's POV, the third film is from Wolverine's POV, and the forth film is from Kitty Pryde's POV. Those four to me would be the main focus of the X Men films because they are my personal favourite X Men leaders.

7. Keep the name X Men it doesn't matter what the team name is.
(Google Image)
Now if you heard producer Victoria Alonso recently spoke about the X Men coming back to Marvel. She said that the name "X Men" was outdated and that is such bull. Who cares what the title of the story or the group in the story is because X Men has been part of everyones childhood I know women who call it X Men and they don't care about the title because the characters are more important than the name. Also if you've seen Dark Phoenix there is a cringe moment were Mystique says they should change the name to X Women. Like don't get me wrong if there was a team and it had women in the title and someone said you should change it to men I would cringe at that. Truth is the name shouldn't matter, to me and every X Men fan calls it X Men and yes there are other teams that use the word men after the X. If Marvel decided that their next X Men movie will be X Factor and I know for a fact the original five were the first X Factor but I prefer X Men. Also there a chance it will be called House of X. Also Marvel's X Men lets see Storm lead a team and actually have her be the leader we all know and love.

6. Don't bring Wolverine in the X Men till the third film instead give him his own movie trilogy. 
(Google Image)
Now we all love Wolverine in fact he's my favourite X Men second is Cyclops, third is Nightcrawler, forth is Storm, and fifth is Kitty Pryde. Wolverine was the face Fox's X Men and after Hugh Jackman was done there really was no point to continue the franchise. Now for Wolverine I've said this before when Marvel re introduces Wolverine let it be in his own solo movie instead of an X Men film. Check out my MCU Wolverine movie trilogy on blog if you get the chance you'll see what I'm talking about.

5. Take inspiration from the comics and most importantly the animated series
(Google Image)
We don't know what Marvel has planned for the X Men and we properly won't know for couple years unless they announce something at San Diego Comic Con this year. If you ask me Kevin Feige should look at the comics from Stan Lee's run, as well Joss Whedon's run, and Chris Claremont's run for inspiration. Also look at the animated series for inspiration the most because that show was amazing and that is type of influence they need for a reboot. Also good news the creators of the show are talking with Disney to bring back the show on Disney+ hope it happens. 

4. Have the X Men wear costumes that are fateful to the comics. No black suits!
(Google Image)
This one thing we need from MCU's X Men and knowing them they will give us fateful costumes and make them work on screen. We all hated those black suits but I get it back then people felt those costumes wouldn't work on the big screen but Marvel Studios has change that and so now we need X Men costumes!

3. X Men teaming up with other heroes
(Google Image)
Now we all want to see Wolverine fight Hulk and we're going to get that which we're all happy about. We need to see the X Men interact with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and many more. I would love to see a Spiderman and Wolverine Team up movie happen in the future.

2. Don't Focus on SJW or Identity Politics
Now I know Mutants are discriminated against for their powers and are treated like second class citizens but Marvel's X Men films need to be more about a team that saves a world. Their goal is protect the world and just hope society will accept for who they are. Xavier's dream for everyone to live in peace and he's not forcing it but he does want humans to understand mutants and respect them. The X Men are not Social Justice Warriors they are heroes who want the world understand and accept them for who they are. Sometimes minds can't be change but The X Men will try to convince those minds but they don't force it down their throats. If certain people's minds can't be change then they will stop them from killing or using mutants as experiments.   


Honorable Mentions
5. No Love triangles. Like no Cyclops, Wolverine, and Jean Love triangle just please have Wolverine get with Storm.
4. Keep Deadpool around but luckily Disney and Marvel have said the character and franchise will stay the same.
3. Create separate X Men teams in the future like X Men Blue are lead by Cyclops, X Men Gold are lead by Storm, X Force are lead by Wolverine, X Men Red are lead by Jean, X Factor are lead by Havok, and New Mutants are lead by Magik.
2. Take a break from Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique. These three characters need a break honestly they've been done to death.
1. Set up Uncanny Avengers we need to see an Avengers and X Men form a team were the Avengers and X Men work side by side. It also shows a sign of support that both teams have for each other.

1. We need to see an Avengers VS X Men movie happen.
This is one thing we all want to see happen an Avengers VS. X Men film and let me say it would be epic as hell. Civil War was an amazing film and we need an Avengers VS. X Men film to happen like it would be such an epic film. Now it's likely this film will take like fifteen years to make plus I don't know what the new saga for phase 4, 5, and 6 will be it will either it could be Dark Reign, Secret Invasion, (Just hope the Skrulls are better because they sucked in Captain Marvel.) Secret Wars, or The Coming of Galactus. I don't know what the future holds but hopefully we will get an Avengers vs. X Men in the future.

So that's my X Men Fan Cast and Ideas for an MCU X Men reboot.
Now who knows what Marvel will do now that they have the X Men back but I just hope they won't change the name X Men because it isn't outdated. 
I'm planning on doing a sequel fan cast in the future it will have Storm, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Colossus, and Rogue.
