  • The New Mutants is a Failed Experiment

    The New Mutants is a Failed Experiment

    This movie was doomed to fail. First, there was the disaster that was Dark Phoenix. Then there was the Disney-Fox merger. And to top it all off, it came out in 2020. Under these circumstances, it would have taken the second coming of Christ himself to save it! Not that Jesus would have bothered. Not…
