now that bryan singer left the franchise i think burton is a very good director for make them. with his classic tone that would make mutants really interesting. and after the bad response of x-men apocalypse he could make these movies good again, that would be so fricking amazing

Doesn't mean the movie has to look awkward, also. I really don't won't X-men to have that same look that all his movies have. Like everything is artificial. Even the actual sunlight.

but i think the mutant topic is a awkward oneduh
We can't take guyson seriously when he say burton is awkward. he is one of those dumb mcu fanboys that wants x-men movies to be like the garbage MCU movies for the dumb down masses. Burton movies are very Anti-MCU movies = guyson stance against Burton.
The real X-Men fans
know Burton would be an amazing pick for X-Men. the
real X-Men fans
will welcome him as the new director. His name has gotten thrown around on this board a lot. -

Calling MCU and it's fans dumb just makes you look like an idiot.
You can continue pretending that the X Men movies are something they're not all you want you can't force your opinion.

I can see how Tim Burton would be a good choice, looking at his less stylish films like Big Fish, Dark Shadows and Ms Peregrine's Home.
But really, Burton's better off with characters that can be monstrous and flamboyant, and where he can incorporate Gothic visuals. That's why his Batman films worked well IMO - the visuals fit with the dark gloomy atmosphere and slightly unhinged characters: Batman, the Joker, the Penguin and Catwoman.
With X-Men he'd need to maybe tone things down, but I doubt he'd be able to portray the normal humans' viewpoint or be able to do things outside the American/English culture (has he done anything French or German or Egyptian?).
The only X-Men I think Burton could work well with is Magik, and maybe just barely.

Yeesh, I don't know about that. Fox has been making some great director choices for these X-Men movies lately, Tim Burton kind of seems like a step in the wrong direction.
I'm not saying he's a bad director, I love
Ed Wood
and
Sleepy Hollow
, but Burton just isn't well suited to X-Men drama nor modern action/adventure movies. There's some aspects of it that he'd be good at (atmosphere, establishing mood/tone) but I don't think he could get the big dramatic scenes right. This is silly stuff, and in that sense Burton seems like a good fit on the surface, but these movies are silly ones that take themselves seriously for the sake of immersion and drama and danger, and I don't think that Tim Burton would nail that, I think he'd stumble all over it. -

A director with a proven track record of making a dark, mature yet entertaining comic book movie that doesn't solely appeal to children. Whats not to like about this potential selection for the next X-film.

Proven track record? He made Batman when no good comic book movies were out. And Batman Returns went sideways and is still talked about for some of the weird choices he made to the characters. Then you have the behind-the-scenes stuff for Superman Lives. You have Vegeta crying about Spider-man not punching, I wonder what he'd say about Nick Cage not having most of his powers and the electric suit.
You guys are talking about a movie he made almost 30 years ago. He just made an "X-men" movie and it was forgotten. I didn't even know
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
came out.
