210. Looking Back on the Fox X-Men Universe

Show notes provided by Arco Esposito

Hey remember in 2008 when Marvel FINALLY had a hit comic movie with Iron Man and we were all happy they finally figured out how to translate the comics to the screen? Well as awesome as that was, you’d be forgiven for thinking that was the first hit film to show our beloved hero’s on the silver screen! Go back 8 years earlier and a little movie called the X-MEN premiered and it kicked off the golden age of comic movies that we have been enjoying for almost 25 years! With over 15 films in the mutant franchise, FOX’s X-MEN universe showed the world that you can make good comic films (not you X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE!) and if not for those early successes, we may not have had the MCU as we know it today! So come along as we sing the praises of the now defunct Fox universe of Marvel’s mutant mavericks, and recall our favorite, and not so favorite, moment!
