So, you're interested in seeing comic book movies about comic book characters that were digested and interpreted by the readers of those comics that have become the standard for those comic books? Well, guess what? That's what the X-Men have become; on top of Spider-Man and Hulk and Punisher and Batman and on and on and on. Just because you dislike the minority-deserving-a-place in-society angle, doesn't mean that it isn't applicable. I guess Captain America should have come along in the 1990s to be applicable to America assuming it'll save the world all on it's own.
If you want an X-Men movie based on yellow tights or intergalactic bugs or a tubby TV executive from another dimension or the clone of a time traveler looking for his mother who might be married to his father who opposes a genetic warlord who might or might not be the brother of his mother's father who hates the future his makers' trying to create, all the while hoping he hasn't been clone in another reality because, well hey, there's always the savage land, and then the Russian dies because he could handle his innocent sister dying while it all happens under the guise of this silly idea of social acceptance, then I suggest you spend the next 30 years of your life watching East Enders. It's pretty much the same, watching a decades old British soap-opera, as it is trying to wedge in 40 years of X-Men history into a 2 hour movie that will please every long-time fan.

i never said they had to include every storyline.
i just wouldn't mind them being faithful to the characters, their status and their personalities. that shouldn't be too much to ask given that some people try to do it most of the time when adapting any type of media in to film.
