How it relates to this thread, is that it has been speculated that it was similar to the climax of 'Captain Marvel'. Which I figured out would be that one, since it was said the ending was changed from being in space, to being onboard a train. They claim it's also to make it more "grounded", which doesn't really inspire confidence in me, since I don't think that would really work unless said movie was grounded to begin with, or other movies with big climaxes in mind.

The more I hear about the movie, the more it sounds like the X-Men franchise is going to go out on an agonized whimper. I honestly don't care at this point; I'm going to see the movie just to get a resolution (even though Apocalypse - despite also not being good - was also a satisfactory conclusion to the franchise, Logan notwithstanding), but I'm just way too glad we're finally getting MCU X-Men - just stating the obvious.
