What is this funny feeling?

Between Wonder Woman's success last year, and Black Panther's success this weekend, I think it might be the stirrings of some faint hope that I might actually get to see a Storm movie in my lifetime. Course whether or not Disney actually gets to buy 20th Century Fox may affect it, but I think it's hope.

At this point I've been seriously dreaming about one for nearly twenty years, before that I couldn't even be serious about it. I started seriously dreaming about a Storm movie after the first Bryan Singer X-Men movie came out in 2000. I've been frustrated seeing Wolverine and Deadpool get movies, but not one of the female X-Characters. Hell, not only have ladies not had a movie, but the Dark Phoenix story was butchered in the third X-Men movie. It'll be interesting to see how the second attempt at the Dark Phoenix story goes this year. It should be Jean Grey's story, but...
The reality of a Storm movie would make me cautiously ecstatic (can that be an actual state of mind?)Not only can that be an actual state of mind, but I'd say it was mine for both Wonder Woman and Black Panther. I was ecstatic that they'd actually gotten made, but cautious of being so ecstatic I only saw them how I wanted to see them rather than as they are. They're both very good movies. ( ... )

I enjoyed Wonder Woman, but haven't yet seen Black Panther, which I hope I'm well enough to attend next weekend.

I'm not the biggest fan of Bryan Singer's handling of the X-Men on film in general, but next to Brett Ratner...
That story arc remains one of the strongest, most tragic pieces of mainstream comic storytelling that I've ever experienced.
I'm not old enough to have read it when it was first run. It was already '83 when I started reading my first comic books, and by the time I was regularly reading The New Mutants (my first regular X-Book) it was '86 and Jean Grey's death was already being retconned. I had to read it through the "Classic X-Men" reprints they did. I'd felt bad for Maddy about Scott running off on her like he did, but once I saw how much Jean meant to him I felt like I understood how he could do such a thing better.

Glad you enjoyed Wonder Woman. Hope you got to enjoy Black Panther too.
