X3 and Wolverine Origins are both largely disliked by many, and it hurt them worse that they came out back to back. X-Men: FC and The Wolverine were great movies, but I'm sure the reception of Origins and X3 hurt both films pretty bad too. It's funny how Patrick Stewart says "We need you to hope again." in X-Men's new trailer...feels to me he's asking the audience to give the movie franchise another chance.
