The New Mutants is probably the worst positioned superhero movie that’s been made. The film, which has a highly interesting concept of mutants trapped in a facility, thereby making it a horror feature, has been at a disadvantage due to the X-Men film series closing its doors soon enough.
Long delays have meant that fan interest has subsided greatly from the initial interest that had developed. However, that’s changed within the span of a couple months as The New Mutants is now scheduled to be released in due course. To signal its arrival, fans have taken to creating memes to celebrate the film. Here are 10 of the best ones that also include those memes that make reference toward the period of delays.
10 Good News For Jean
X-Men: Dark Phoenix was the conclusion to the mainline films in the series, but was ravaged by critics and fans alike for not staying true to the source material. Since then, the film has been used as an example of things studios shouldn’t do if they want their movies to be a success.
Good thing for Dark Phoenix is that it’ll be taken out of the spotlight somewhat since The New Mutants is currently supposed to be placed as the final X-Men film, meaning people will most likely forget how badly it sucked.
9 Worth The Wait?
Those who first heard of the idea of The New Mutants and were instantly sold on the concept have been surprisingly loyal to the movie. That too despite the film having taken so many years to finally see the light of day.
It must be one of those diehard fans who created this meme, as it points toward the fact that the ardent supporters of The New Mutants overlooked movies that they could’ve seen any time but were lying in wait for their choice of film to be released. Let’s hope it turns out to be worth the wait.
8 That's A Shame
This flips around the scenarios in the previous two memes, with many fans being exasperated that the X-Men film series is meant to continue. The hope was that it might simply get integrated within the MCU and have The New Mutants mean something for the future rather than be a one-off.
There’s a lot of skepticism on hand at the moment, as people are pessimistic over the quality of this new movie considering the marvelous failure of X-Men: Dark Phoenix. We'd recommend these fans not to worry, because at least we’re getting Deadpool in the MCU, right?
7 It's Been A While
The latest trailer for the movie dropped a bunch of things for us to look forward to, but there should be a whole another video dedicated just to fans who reacted with surprise that The New Mutants’ release was still on.
It came as an even greater surprise that the film would be released in a relatively short space of time following the trailer, as it had previously been repeatedly announced for a release date that would take years. With the movie now out of limbo, we have the chance of actually remembering the film’s name.
6 Is It Really?
Thor’s brand of comedy has garnered him his own list of memes, although this scene from Ragnarok is such that it can apply to any scenario where we’re a little skeptical. And despite The New Mutants intended to arrive very shortly, there’s still some who aren’t convinced.
After all, we also got a number of similar title cards that had promised the film’s release in both 2018 and 2019, with neither of these coming about. With this in mind, it’s better to carry on being wary rather than assume the film will definitely be out in April.
5 Yes Obama Can
The announcement out of nowhere for the film’s release has led to fans jokingly making up theories that it might have been a governmental decision. Since Obama is considered to be one of the cooler US Presidents, the “belief” is that he had a hand in getting The New Mutants back on board.
Obama also recently put out a list of movies he liked from 2019, confirming that he indeed is a film buff. So, perhaps the former president does have access to his very own Cerebro that he used to change the minds of the studio.
4 Not That Easily Forgiven
While we’re all glad the film is going to be released, no-one’s forgetting how the film developers originally did us wrong by throwing out false promises. As you can see in the image, the trailer had been released as far back as 2017.
Back then, the date of 2019 probably sounded far enough that it wasn’t too long a wait, but we’re now in 2020 and the film is only now about to premiere. There’s always going to be the long delay attached to The New Mutants even after it arrives.
3 Let's Hear It Out
Truth be told, kids of today will never be as gullible as Georgie from It was, since most of these kids are now more interested in video gaming and films rather than playing outside. That doesn’t mean they still can’t be fooled by Pennywise, though.
If the clown was to attack today, he’d have to entice his childish victim by luring them over with film tickets, which is what should do the trick. The New Mutants, being a superhero genre movie starring a young cast, should be the best chance for Pennywise to get his trick to work.
2 Fingers Crossed It Won't
Magik is so far being promoted as the wild card of the bunch as she’s the only one shown to be proud of her record of killing people. However, this is most likely a facade to hide her true apprehension with what’s going on in the facility.
The same way, fans have put up a brave face to show that they’re both glad the film is being released and also that they’re prepared for another delay. However, that’s mainly an act as the prospect of The New Mutants being delayed yet again would mean all this renewed hype for its release was for nothing.
1 Don't Keep Your Ears Peeled
The one thing that fans didn’t expect was to worry about spoilers for the film, as the only talking point about it so far had been to do with whether it would even be shown to audiences. Now that the release is a go, spoilers are threatening to enter the picture.
In a way, you can consider this meme to appreciate spoilers, seeing as it means that The New Mutants is well and truly going to arrive in theaters. Avoiding spoilers is part and parcel of the hype of a superhero genre movie, so we’re glad that we’ve finally reached this stage. For that reason, let’s celebrate the build-up to The New Mutants as much as we can.
