You really didn't put that many question marks in. But, challenge accepted.

1. What do I think about the series? I think it needs to slow down. There's no logical way to make a 4th film, since like half the team is dead. Unless they want to spring a new crop of mutants on us. We don't need an immediate reboot right now; Spider-Man is handling that for us. A MCU-affiliated reboot would be cool, but oversaturation of that universe is a risk.

2. What's with him turning to water? Magneto altered his DNA on a molecular level in hopes it would mutate him. However, for some reason (it was either the machine was unsuccessful or Kelly's body couldn't handle the change - not too sure) the "mutation" caused Kelly's cells to not be able to hold their form, and they broke down from solid objects into liquid-like material.

3. What are my opinions on the franchise? See the first point, and my previous post farther down the page.

4. What is the future for X-Men films? See my post farther down the page.

5. What would I like to see? some of the smaller characters with more than ncrdited cameos (Jubilee's appearances in the main trilogy come to mind).

6. If I were direct my own trilogy or quadrilogy, which villains and themes would I like to see? I'd like to have Magneto be the overall villian of the series, but also have other antigonists in the movies. Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister come to mind. Maybe some other small-name villians as well, maybe in henchman roles of Sinster and Apocalypse. And I'd like to explore the mtant hysteria and the human/mutant tension.
