I Don't Want The Current X-Men Multiverse To Fit In The MCU

Why don't I want the current X-Men multiverse in the MCU?

 I don't want the X-Men of the current X-Men multiverse to be fit into the MCU.
The MCU has had seamless continuity the whole time (except for that one time).
The X-Men multiverse has had such bad continuity that they created an entire movie to fix the continuity, and they STILL managed to throw in more continuity snags.
The MCU has had more good films than bad films.
The X-Men multiverse has had more bad films than good films.
Avengers: Infinity War already has too many characters.
X-Men: The Last Stand had too many characters.
An Avengers/X-Men crossover is just BEGGING to have no emphasis on any given character.
And frankly, I'm ready for the X-Men movies to be done. X-Men: Days of Future Past - The Rogue Cut was both an excellent movie and an excellent resolution to the series. I'm emotionally resolved enough that I want the series to be done there. Not because the series is bad - but because The Rogue Cut was so emotionally fulfilling as an ending.

Sexual Misconduct

Sexual misconduct is inappropriate no matter who you are. I don't care how rich or powerful you are, and I don't care how good of a movie you made, you don't have license to engage in sexual misconduct. I do think a fair trial is necessary for sex offenders before punishing them with anything, including being fired. Not because I don't believe the accusers, but because a fair trial is necessary for every crime, and this should be treated as an actual crime, not as something taboo that at best ge ts you fired or gets you 3 months in prison as a warning to others. Are there some flaws in a fair trial? Yes. A jury might declare a guilty person to be innocent or declare an innocent person to be guilty. A fair trial might give too light a sentence, though I'm not sure I would consider that a fair trial. But I think it would frequently give people the punishment they deserve instead of the slap on the wrist and publicity they too frequently get.

Avengers on Trial

The Sokovia Accords were (supposedly) because of the Avengers' rampant property damage and third-degree murder. Shouldn't a trial have come first? A trial that involved the appearance of at least one legal representative of the Avengers, each member of the Avengers, and witnesses? How would that trial have gone if it had happened during Civil War and the Sokovia Accords hadn't happened yet? Here are my guesses. Hawkeye would get off almost completely. He caused the least property damage, killed no humans, and while he might be charged with assault, he could get off with a temporary insanity plea since he was mind-controlled or in self-defense during each instance of assault. He'd probably get even less of a penalty since he's not an active member of the Avengers after Sokovia. He'd probably get a $10,000 fine for property damage. Assuming the UN still bothers to try Banner after the events of Infinity War (when Banner finally gets back to earth)...

Thoughts and Prayers Aren't What You Think

We each occasionally hear people giving other people a hard time for sending thoughts and prayers to the people involved in a tragedy. Sitting around feeling sorry for someone else won't do any good any more than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. And when someone says that they're sending "thoughts and prayers" when they're really just sitting around feeling sorry for someone, they're not actually sending thoughts and prayers. When they're just going abou t their normal lives and not thinking about or praying for the victims of tragedy, that is obviously not sending thoughts and prayers. But when someone is actually sending thoughts and prayers, that is a wonderful and essential part of helping people overcome both personal and public tragedy. Prophets and Apostles have clarified for decades that true prayer requires acting on our prayers, not just wishing that God would do it all for us (Sources may include David A. Bednar's April 2006 Confer...
