Dear high expectations for X-men: days of future past based on the sheer awesomeness of first class

I feel that we've been growing apart for awhile now. The heavy concentration by singer to do away with almost everything vaughn contributed was the start, i think. The sheer amount of mutants being cast, literally 2 or 3 more names a week, have left me with a feeling that this was approaching last stand levels of trainwreck. The recasting of a now pregnant halle barre as the character with the absolute worst line of dialog in the history of comic movies, caused me to take a huge step back. But now...now you've gone and added warpath and bishop to the cast. Two mutants no one has ever cared about. One of which might as well be the harbinger for the near death of the comics industry in the 90s. Were you worried that there was, like one native american guy and one black guy with $14 in their pocket still on the fence about going to see this?

I'm afraid it is over. I cannot see you anymore.

Maybe i'll catch a glimpse of you at man of steel,
Matt
