Things about X-Men series I still hate:
Moira MacTaggert's entire existence. Possibly one of the worst cases of no homo I've seen in modern day. (Especially freaking ridiculous because First Class was written as a tragic love story between Charles and Erik, not Charles and her - fucking hell, they looked barely into each other in both of these films. Infuriating.)
Mystique's arc after DoFP, she was mostly just annoying and self righteous, despite really not having the moral high ground for it. Placed there just to bitch at Charles, which is beyond infuriating. Also the way she makes no effort to meet Charles' half way (I mean, maybe she's essentially making up with attitude for being raised by him)
Charles arc in Dark Phoenix, bullshit, nonsensical, I'm not having it, just no. Also the whole costume department that movie, atrocious, just no. In fact, I'm just blocking it from my brain entirely. (Except for the general feel any Cherik moments, which are always good)
Erik's family in Apocalypse are fine, but underutilized. I like them, but honestly feel like, idk, could have been written better.
More emphasis on Apocalypse persuasion (which likely meddled with all his "underlings" actual emotions and thought processes). Generally leaning into the monster arc.
Pointless deaths: Darwin, Scott, Alex. (As much as it hurts, the ones with some sense like: Jean, Sean, Charles, Emma, etc. make sense to me)
Raven/Hank's love arcs after DoFP, listen, it's over, they're no Cherik, we should have dropped that like a hot potato.
Peter not getting to tell Erik he's his son. Like, come on. Or even having any relationship with him??
Alex not being Scott's father. It's ridiculous that he's his brother. Like, I get there are people with siblings that are way older than them, but it kinda feeds into the ridiculous aspect of the movie where no one really ages.
In general, wish Alex had more time with Charles in these movies, and additional focus on Charles being a father figure to the OG crew as well as the new crew.
Y'all, I'm probably forgetting some stuff, but GOD, makes the movies slightly frustrating to watch, despite them being my favorites (Except for Dark Phoenix, literally fuck you)

Monty McTaggart: I am going to leave.
Jhudora: Speedwalking away from your problems isn't going to fix this mess you've gotten yourself into!
Monty McTaggart: Sorry, you're too far away! I can't hear you!

Monty's picture spent a lot of time with a black beak because I first thought he was a Christmas Vandagyre. Then I gave his character art another look and WOOPS--it's yellow!
Which led to a phase where I thought it was gold due to him augmenting his beak into that material to flaunt his wealth from the Obsidian industry. Also, some Moltarans seem to have rustic cybernetics and/or metallic modifications as per the basis of Steampunk PB's retro cyborg look.
No narrative was intended between the images, just thought the side by side placement would be amusing.

Open To: F/M/NB
Plot: Elsa is attending her high school reunion when she runs into her first love (based upon this).
Elsa rubbed the spot on her finger where her wedding ring used to be, a reminder of how fresh her divorce was. Then, deciding she needed a distraction, she grabbed herself another drink from the bar. As she was getting ready to take a sip, she spotted a face she hadn't seen in years, but that she would have recognized anywhere. "Hi" she said, a warm smile on her lips at the memory of how happy the other person used to make her. "How have you been?" As she spoke, all the good times the two used to have together came flooding back to her.
