So the MCU Re-View is done! For now, anyway. But that leaves us with a question as to where to go from here. And that question got me thinking.

I charted the whole of the MCU because I wanted to examine the entirety of that cultural touchstone. But it’s not as though the MCU sprang forth fully formed from a vacuum. It merely refined an existing cultural trend. So, I thought to myself, why not go back and examine some of the flashpoints for the broader movement of superhero movies?

And then it occurred to me that one of the earliest harbingers of this superhero fever would be ending this year. In a scant few weeks, the venerable X-Men film franchise created by Fox will be ending with Dark Phoenix. It’s been a bumpy ride sometimes, but the broader genre owes a massive debt to what Fox managed with X-Men. It’s worth chronicling.

And thus, I had the focus of my next project.

Starting tomorrow morning, I will be reviewing every film in the mainline X-Men film franchise. I will put out one review per week, because I’m moving to a more manageable weekly content release schedule. But don’t worry, I’ll be putting out more than one piece of content a week. I’m just only doing one X-Men review weekly.

To be clear, I’m only talking about the X-Men movies themselves. I’m going to try and fit in the Wolverine films and Deadpool films as well, but my priority is the team.

The overall weekly schedule should have these coming out on Mondays. I was just busy this weekend because I was moving. From here on out the schedule should be consistent. My hope is to release two or three pieces of content per week. Monday’s and Wednesdays should be consistent, with the occasional Friday/Saturday post as well.

As for what might be appearing on Wednesdays and Fridays? Friday will be for new movie reviews and miscellaneous other things that pop into my head. For Wednesdays, you’ll just have to stay tuned. There will be some fill-in stuff for a couple weeks, but Wednesday will have its own dedicated project too.

If you stuck with me through my MCU coverage, I hope you’ll check this out too. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.
