Over the past couple of years I have binge-watched multiple film franchises in anticipation of a new release. Star Wars for The Force Awakens, the DC Extended Universe for Wonder Woman, the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Avengers: Infinity War, and several others. Over the past couple of weeks, I decided it was finally time to binge-watch the entirety of the X-Men film franchise (Wolverine and Deadpool spinoff movies included) for... Dark Phoenix?

Okay, so I was originally gonna watch all of them for Deadpool 2, but I was still feeling the burnout from the MCU. Though in hindsight, this worked out. Because not only did I get to go with the Extended Cut of Deadpool 2, but I got to watch Dark Phoenix fresh off watching every other movie in the series. And my takeaway was... different than a lot of other people's I guess.
