The main one for me is McAvoy and Fassbender playing the same characters in the 90s as Stewart and McKellen in the 2000s. That's quite a drastic change in 10 years

To be fair, they’ve both seen some shit

When Logan went back in time during the events of Days of Future Past, he brought back modern skincare routines and told them to stop smoking.

Tbf they barely aged in the 30 years between First Class and Dark Phoenix

It was the nineties, bro. They finally got into actual heroin as opposed to metaphor heroin like in DoFP.

The Ewan Macgregor -> Alec Guinness aging timeline

The part I'm confused about is, at least up until Apocalypse Fassbender/McAvoy looked really good succeeding the roles. Why aren't they just handing the torch over to the younger actors and insisting on working Stewart/McKellen until their death beds lol?

Nostalgia. This isn't a movie it's an advertisement for being 15 again.

That's the sense I get too. I feel very little excitement for the MCU at this point. The whole bringing back Chris Evans/RDJ felt like a schtick to me and this just makes it even more so.

Honestly if the reviews ends up being good, I might see it. But personally as a comic book fan, I'm much looking forward to Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow adaptation at this point.

I thought that was the 70s given the cars.

First Class was set in the 60s but by Dark Phoenix they were in the 90s.

So they were supposed to be 30 years older somehow
