I really enjoyed that for the first time in 3 years we got some fantasy fiction context that could just be said to be good. no good but, it's just good.
Really happy with the experience. The X-men is actually the property I have the least faith in them to do well in the MCU, because I don't know that they will resist the urge to have Magneto be a 100 year old holocaust survivor, or tell us that tens of thousands of mutants have been around all along during the MCU events we watched, when the right thing to do is re-write the characters in a way that builds out and grows the MCU from where it is today, instead of retconning all of comic history into a story that didn't have space for it all.
