"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I'm looking at Fox's Mutant Movies. In the first part I do some background on the X-Men comics, then get into the lead-up to the first film, the two after it, and the debacle that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the second part, we get stuck in on the films they made after that that were released before Disney bought 20th Century Fox, where they had some real hits, where they had misses, and what contributed to each. Finally, I look at the final two Fox X-films that were released after the purchase, plus the legacy of the films, "Deadpool and Wolverine," and my ideas on how Disney should've been integrating the X-characters all along--but before that, I do a mea culpa on a couple things I said about Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 before I'd seen it.
