I know the DCEU (the ones that were bad) and the last X-Men film was crap, now we got trailers this week for Birds of Prey and New Mutants. These are my thoughts on them and why and maybe they may fail.
NEW MUTANTS: Now that Disney has bought Fox and the X-Men are going to be part of the MCU, this new X-film is not going to be in the X-Movie cannon. This will be the first time we'll get a horror version of the mutant side of the Marvel universe. Since Logan and the two Deadpool films are more better X-Men films than the wreck we got with Dark Phoenix, I have to say New Mutants might be a cult classic but not a movie mega hit.
BIRDS OF PREY: Really!? Harley Quinn?! I like Harley and I even like the recent cartoon she has, but after what Suicide Squad was before what James Gunn will do with the relaunch. I like the comics but Harley is more of a loner anti-hero but still a villain, but it's the roster I'm worried about. I don't mind Black Canary, Huntress, but Renee is not a superhero unless she becomes the Question, and we got Cassandra Cain. I would have wanted to see Cassandra don her Batgirl outfit or her current Orphan one. Then we got Black Mask....This.Could.Work. We got a Batman villain outside of the main rogues as the movie's main baddie, and I like it. It's like they did Juggernaut right in Deadpool 2, even the recent Joker film did the character justice second to Ledger's version. I hope this Birds works more better than it's WB TV series.
Thoughts?

We won't be getting Cassandra Cain, just someone called her.
I hate BoP with a passion because it's DC trying to pretend to be 'woke' about using minority characters, when it's gonna be about the whitest girl ever, who's power is bad boyfriends.

Glad that New Mutants is getting released, but can't get too enthusiastic, as it's the official death rattle of the fox X-movieverse. My daughter is interested in it, so I may go with her to earn Dad points.
Birds of Prey: Or Harley Quinn and her amazing friends. Nobody looks on model and to be a pedantic comic nerd, Harley was never a member of the BoP. The trailer just leaves me feeling irritated

I wrote BoP for JLU2001 years ago and made it more like a diverse female team series with the Holli version of Catwoman, Red Robin, Batgirl/Cassandra Cain, and I had Joker kill Renee with a sledgehammer. I had this arc where Joker uses a video game to turn people into living Jokers, then a whole mall is infected with Jokers and it gets blown up. My arc was going to be more of a zombie movie in a superhero universe, too bad JLU2001 shut down.
I even did a World's Finest run that almost happened with Spider-Man sent into the DCU to team-up with Batman to stop a symbiote fused Joker and a Venom fused Superman.
