You can’t have failed to notice that reviews for the latest installment in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse, have been incredibly polarized.

It’s a strange quirk of each of the prequel trilogy films that they all end with a scene suggesting the X-Men have now been properly formed. Unlike previous endings, however, the last scene of Apocalypse really does feel like the X-Men as they should be are finally here to stay
