<br>And yet, since 2008's Iron Man , the MCU has outclassed Fox's X-Men franchise. The key difference has essentially been that Marvel Studios played the long <a href="http://Worksale.nnov.org/common/redir.php?http://Pasarinko.zeroweb.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=notice&wr_id=7343383">slg game strategy</a>, building a shared cinematic universe where each film leads on to the next, culminating in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame . In contrast, Fox has largely seemed to be reactive, tossing countless ideas up into the air to see how they fall, rarely showing any sense of overarching narrative direction.

There's a strong sense in which the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't exist without the X-Men films. Marvel Comics only survived near-bankruptcy in the '90s by selling off the film rights to some of its most notable characters, including Spider-Man and, of course, the X-Men. What's more, many key figures in Marvel Studios cut their teeth on the X-Men films, including even Marvel Studios president Kevin Fe<br><br> <br>X-Men: First Class was a huge success, and back in 2011, Vaughn indicated that he wanted to continue the franchise by exploring the assassination of JFK . " I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, " he explained to Hitfix , " and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentione<br><br> Gamma Maelstrom: Hulk charges Doctor Strange and Iron Man with gamma radiation.

And yet, for all the script would have been mostly the same, it's hard not to see Vaughn's original plan as a better one. The key is in terms of pacing, with a gradual increase in the stakes; the impending conflict between man and mutant would have been neatly signposted in the second film, and there would have been a clear narrative throughline, with Magneto involved in the Kennedy assassination and imprisoned for it in the third installment. This also would have subtly rewritten Mystique's role, in that she'd essentially have become more of a Magneto loyalist, continuing his mission of assassinating high-profile political thre<br><br> Use Shield of the Seraphim to fend off damage or Daggers of Denak to strike while building up Dark Magic.
