Good work, man. Although #2 and 4 weren't really questions I needed answering, but that's cool. I totally agree with you on slowing down, and the need for a break before a potential reboot. And yeah upgrades from cameos to supporting characters-ish would be good. And, I'd like to see an Australian Pyro. We don't have that many Marvel Characters, so it's annoying when they take the few we have away from us. That's my little Australian rant over, so I think if I directed my own quadrilogy, I'd want them all to be totally interconnected, and viewed as one vision (as if it were one film, spilt into four). I guess this is my appreciation for "Wolverine and the X-Men" coming out (it is in my opinion, the best representation I've seen of the X-Men so far), but I'd like it to follow that kind of pattern (actually, almost retell the series as movies, but tweaked a little). Focus on the introduction of mutants, with the assembly of Xavier's first class in the first one. And show some impacts on society, the government's reaction (building up to the MRA), and conflicts with Magneto and/or the Brotherhood. Expand all of these issues in the second one, introducing Mr Sinister as a seconary villain, the Sentinel program being put in place, and some anti-mutant groups, all discretely building towards the Phoenix. Perhaps, have the explosion somewhere around here, leaving Xavier in a coma to wake up in a Days of Future Past timeline (partly caused by the Phoenix). In the third one, reveal the Hellfire Club's intentions, expand the mutant-human war in the present, and the resistance against sentinels in the future. Reveal the Phoenix's part in all of this, and finally prevent the Days of Future Past timeline, only to find an alternate Age of Apocalypse time. Still have conflicts with the Phoenix (as somehow this had a part to do with Apocalypse coming to power), and in the end, have Magneto's brotherhood unite with the X-Men to stop Apocalypse.
