To be fair to The Last Stand, it did actually have some good acting/fighting sequences (arguably the best Beast ever got from Fox period) like with the climax, despite technically not being a good film and one of the worst in the series; a point also used in defense of Dark Phoenix like with the action in the train part. Obviously Dark Phoenix is the better film, but still.

👆 You can go back years and find posts by me saying how much I loved the sequence where Magneto attacks the convoy. It's incredibly well-done.

And yeah, Kelsey Grammar as Beast was god-tier casting. If they ever decide to do an older Beast in the MCU, bring back Grammer please.

Why is no one else including deadpool 1 and 2 in their lists?

I'm not sure they count, even with the heavy role Colossus and Cable play in the second movie, though I can see the argument for including them, sure.

xmen 2
acopolypse
xmen
days of future past
the wolverine
first class
last stand
origins
LOGAN (i simply did not like it, bland villains didn't help either)

Because its a related/spin off franchise.

But Deadpool isnt one of the X-Men, so a stretch to classify it as an X-Men movie.

The wolverine movies aren't really x-men movies but they're in peoples lists

Plus the x-men are in deadpool 2

Because Wolverine is not only one of the X-Men but its the same Wolverine as from the X-Men movies.

And I mean come on... Small cameos dont mean anything, otherwise we might as well call Spider-Man Homecoming a Captain America movie.

Okay so one X-Man makes it an X-Men movie? Well Deadpool in Deadpool 2 was a trainee X-Man so he was a member of the X-Men so the Deadpool movies are X-Men movies

That one X-Man was the main character from all the X-Men films. In fact all those first 3 X-Men films were arguably more Wolverine centric than his solo outings

And btw he wasnt the only one. They all featured Professor X in some form or another, one had Cyclops and one had Jean Grey.

Heck the first one was even named X-Men Origins!

Yeah Deadpool trainee as an X-Man for like 5minutes in his own film. That totally counts. I guess the Lego movie totally counts as a Batman movie as well.

Wikipedia has Deadpool down as the eighth instalment in the X-Men film series, but it doesn't have the Lego movie down as a batman movie so you're wrong there 😉

Okay lol

Its not an official part of the Jackman films though thats for sure.

What we got in Origins I don't consider as Deadpool

^ Deadpool himself doesnt. Thats why he shot him in Deadpool 2 lol

wolverines movies were spin offs too but they're still x men films

deadpool trains to be an x man and his actions are judged by their standards... they are somewhat central to his story in the two films tbh

and finally they are listed as being apart of the overall series in most online sources

Lol yes we have been through all this above.

Wolverine is one of the X-Men (the main one in the Fox Universe). Deadpool is not.

Its fine to name Deadpool that but I dont see how Deadpool is even a spin off when it has Zero connection to the Fox X-Men films. Its entirely its own thing.

Would be like calling Sam Ramais Spider-Man 1 an Avengers film because they name dropped Doctor Strange. I mean heck Spideys even an Avenger in Far From Home! Whoaaa!

Okay **** it:

Deadpool
First Class
Days of Future Past
Logan
Deadpool 2
X-Men
X2
The Wolverine
Apocalypse
X3 The Last Stand
X-Men Origins Wolverine

^ Lol

Yeah both Deadpool movies would be right near the top for me.

And for all my talk of it not being an X-Men movie, they portrayed Colossus pretty damn good. Something the X-Men proper films had a real issue with.

Yeah, it was a massive improvement. When even a sour **** like me only has power-related nitpicks, you know it's a good adaptation.

Agreed with this exact ranking. I'm tempted to switch Logan and X2 though

The X-Men animated series writers/creators' take on the films for the most part. Pretty insightful.
