User blog comment:Gwen Stacy-Parker/Should the X-Men get a reboot?/@comment-5825475-20121204031625

I'm not thinking 'reboot', I'm thinking more along the lines of, additional story-lines. Does it really have to fall in line (timeline) of the previous X-titles? I don't think that matters. What people want to see is action, cool characters, and ultimately, a story they can feel for.

I propose, and I doubt anyone will hear me or care, is that they take certain storylines and make one or more movies based on that... kind of like Lord of the Rings (now they are revisiting the Hobbit storyline).

Let's say start with the Phallanx Covenant, and then work your way through the Age of Apocalypse. IF they hold true to the actual story, that would generate about 3-6 movies. And if you want to branch out from there, a Generation-X storyline would REALLY grab my attention. That was a fresh start for me back in '95, and I think it demonstrates all kinds of possibilities for the franchise. It's not only about what people know, it's about what people want. It can be darker, and more mature to grasp more audiences that were privy to that age of the comic.

Anyway, my 2 cents.
