A James Gunn directed X-men film could’ve been generational

He’s so good with sound family stuff it’s like his specialty. He could handle the tone almost perfectly, he’d have to tone down the comedy but he can write amazing serious moments

Let me correct your statement :

“A James Gunn directed New Mutants film could’ve been generational”

Let me correct YOUR statement :

"Any movie James Gunn directs that he is wholeheartedly invested in would be generational"

Let me correct your statement

Scooby doo 3 is the film that can heal our nation.

Now This is an idea I can get behind

Valentinee1052025-10-05 04:51

Live action zombie island remake with modern versions of the music!

Scooby doo and the gang team up with the rock group Wild Stalions to unmask a villian and save the future

Imagine if James Gunn directed a show about an unknown anti hero type of character like Peacemaker or if he got his hands on Superman that would be crazy

DjGrayfox2025-10-05 04:18

It would be goofy and annoying. JG is so damn overrated and I’ll die on this hill.

Gilded-Mongoose2025-10-05 04:21

Wild that I've never considered this. It's an inherent ensemble group, Gunn has done his absolute best work in those scenarios (and couldn't help himself but to do it with Superman too), and with the themes you mentioned and the heartfelt emotional core that the X-Men have?? Absolutely sensational.

Big whiff on Disney/Marvel.

Puzzleheaded-Kick4242025-10-05 04:23

Sounds good on paper, might not be good in excuetion

HelpfulMalice2025-10-05 04:28

What do you mean?! You don’t want Gunn to write another orgy scene and have Rouge walk in on gambit having sex with men and women?!

After_Dig_75792025-10-05 04:33

Gunn can only make movies about goofy and irreverent characters.

DayBowBow12025-10-05 04:39

Superman is a goofy and irreverent character? News to me.

tobylaek2025-10-05 04:21

“Generational” 🙄

External-Key-52262025-10-05 04:24

I don’t know about that.

GarySoneji2025-10-05 04:24

Would he write it, too?

Solid-Common-80462025-10-05 04:26

He makes great movies but generational is a stretch

Glassesnerdnumber1932025-10-05 04:27

Meh

SteveFrench122025-10-05 04:32

Yea hes only nailed every team up movie hes done and revolutionized the genre with guardians. Not saying its the best movie or anything but it changed the way superhero movies were written and made

Glassesnerdnumber1932025-10-05 17:06

I’m not arguing against Gunn as a director, I just don’t think that the main X-men are his style. He could do x-factor or x-force or something like that but I don’t think he’s right for X-men. Not saying it wouldn’t be good, I just don’t think it would blow everything out of the water.

titanzero2025-10-05 04:28

I don’t know, the new Superman movie was awful.

ZrteDlbrt2025-10-05 04:28

He wouldn't be my first pick to direct one but yeah I think he could've made a great one.

Unstable_Bear2025-10-05 04:31

James Gunn is a visionary but I’m not sure if X-Men is the best fit for him

Gotchapawn2025-10-05 04:31

i want him to write and direct Captain Planet!!

After_Dig_75792025-10-05 04:31

No. Gunn is a one trick pony. He's gonna turn wolverine into a joke.

DayBowBow12025-10-05 04:37

How is he gonna turn Wolverine into a joke when he's running the DCU? Plus, the Guardians trilogy, Peacemaker, and Superman are great.

After_Dig_75792025-10-05 04:38

🙄

After_Dig_75792025-10-05 04:39

Superman was bad.
He made superman an immature 16 year old dumbass

GimmeThatWheat4242025-10-05 04:33

So overrated

Reddit is a Gunn stan hivemind

DayBowBow12025-10-05 04:40

Ah yes. Reddit = box office.

GimmeThatWheat4242025-10-05 04:43

You aren’t serious right?

I assume this is Superman cope correct?

Plz don’t assume because marvel has become a toxic brand to the audience that it now means a 600mil grosser with a 220 million budget before marketing is something to be in awe over.

Grei_Autumn2025-10-05 04:33

Could be interesting. But He would intentionally pick the most obscure mutants to be the main roster. We'd get Dazzler, Havok, Skin, and Lifeguard instead of Cyclops, Jean, Beast, and Rogue

AdditionalInitial7272025-10-05 04:34

He’d have to partner with a trusted writer. He can’t help himself with his style of humor.

Earth5132025-10-05 04:47

I'd agree in theory but any project where he's given free range and can fully thrive shows he likes his projects to be closer to rated R with some darker crass stoner humour.

And don't get me wrong, it works, but it doesn't fit with my ideal of X-Men at least.

Maybe X Force? Maybe Exiles? Any Cable or Deadpool project sure... Main line X-Men brand? I'm sure he could do it, but he's not the first name that comes to mind.

And before people say BUT SUPERMAN!!! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he can't do more G or PG I'm just saying he thrives in the chaos, lewd, crusey... In Superman he still managed to squeeze in. A super chaotic green lantern with Gian middle fingers and the super retro and random super droids.

Again not bashing his solid solid work and I'm certain more world building with his growing DC Universe will help him ballance out his style but yeah... I dunno... X-Men feels more edgy with some soft heartfelt undertones that his humour just doesn't fit for me.
