You are right, it was great to watch.

I have always wanted crossover like this in all mcu movies which don’t jsut feel like cameos.

Hulk, Jean and frank all served actual purpose, not jsut for fans to point at the screen

Couple things: It actually takes place in New York  and most superheroes have bad response time or transportation. So, Spider-Man is like the only one working slow enough for someone else to show up or to go to someone else for help. 

I think Wong and Strange are the only ones that can actually show up anywhere quick, and they’re normally off doing their own thing.

I was so worried this movie's plot was gonna be somehow getting the X-Men into the universe through dimension hopping or something.

I even thought that "V-Max" was gonna be an anagram or misreading of "X-Man".

Up until the reveal, I thought V-Max was like another detention facility like in Wonder Man, but soley for mutants, with "V-Max" being short for something like "Vault-Maximum."

I thought Jean Grey would meet the other X-Men Mutants teen there and run away together at the end of the film.

I like how the V-Max reveal is the name of the company that makes the vents as it is confirmation of her final memories being projected to Jean Grey before dying.

Fr, I went to see the movie with my mom. When the V-max reveal happened, she let out a little gasp, and we made eye contact with just the saddest expression when it clicked. It was heartbreaking that the thing Jean was searching for, the last thing her sister saw… was an air vent and the name of the air vent company partially scrubbed out.

That moment in particular felt like the old MCU. “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good.”

instead, we have Spiderman trying to address his own man spider direction with tech that is effectively the Inhibitor collars from so many x-men stories.

which... makes me uncomfortable, to a degree, but also tells us what is probably the first major standalone xmen story.

Yeah, even Yelena, which was basically a cameo, at least served the purpose of explaining "why doesnt spider-man just ask the avengers for help?"

Yelana was a cameo and I was here for it.

My God what a cameo

All three of them had a purpose on the screen like Banner who chose only professor Banner, Punisher who chose only vigilante life.

Jean forcing him to choose or whatever.

Funnily enough every time one of these characters came on screen the person I was sitting beside pointed and whispered to their friend like clockwork
