I’m so sorry but one of the best parts of early X-men movies is that they just straight up fucken kill people

Superhero movies have gotten so ridiculously sanitized it’s boring as hell. I think they should let Captain America decapitate nazis with his shield on screen

#seriously tho it’s not overly gore-y it’s just narrative appropriate violence #+ it’s occasionally sick as FUCK i.e when mystique injects iron into a guy so magneto can rip his blood out and use the iron to escape jail #I watched these as a KID like six years old and I thought it was just a cool superhero movie #there’s NO reason for marvel and Disney to castrate their narratives like theyre doing it’s kind of sickening actually #the way they sacrifice interesting narratives and plot relevant violence in story telling in order to market to a broader audience #capitalism leads to the sterilization of modern media etc. etc.#blithering on #X-men
