What if their own X-Men suck?
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Don't listen to Diggie, he's convinced he is the only one that is right.
Isn't it a little too soon to know that for certain?
Because it's the "Multiverse Saga"?
And using the "multiverse" as an excuse to indulge in nostalgia for previous adaptations of the same property is an overused trope. It was fun when the Arrowverse did it, but by now it's been done so often it just feels pro forma.
It took a long time to get to a place where I actually like the MCU as an IP, so forgive me for being angry that it's sliding back into being a shitpile.
Agree to disagree. This has been clearly what they've been setting up right from the start. There's already a hanging plot thread in the X-verse involving Monica that I want cleared up.

There's an echo in here but no one wants to listen.
Now that's a fair concern. I'm also hoping it's the former but I suspect it'll be somewhere in the middle of the two.
Which does not mean I have to like the fact that they've been doing so. I never said this was the first I've heard of it.
Now, that I didn't mind (aside from the physically nonsensical alternates like the world made of paint or whatever), because it established its own alternate timelines in a way that arose out of the story it had to tell. I'm fine with a multiverse that serves the story. What I feel is overdone is creating a story to serve the multiverse -- or rather, using the concept of the multiverse as an excuse to indulge in nostalgia about decades-old movies and shows.
In an X-Men Universe.
There's no actual evidence that Monica ended up on Earth-100005.
There's also no actual evidence that the XMCU actors who are returning for Doomsday are playing their Earth-10005 characters
No actual evidence that they're not from 10005 as well, and the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
Bucky: Wait a tick. Nick, are these X-Men from Earth-10005 or are they from Earth-17315 or is that a branched reality?
[goes cross-eyed]
Bucky: Oh, no, I've gone cross-eyed.
Nick: I suggest you don't worry about those things and just enjoy yourself.
[to camera]
Nick: That goes for you all, too.
Bucky: Yes.

The most surprising thing there is an American character saying "Wait a tick."
That's because he's from Earth 354.
Why? The MCU has great from the start. Well relatively great. It's been lots of fun for sure. With many terrific characters. It's only gone stale post Endgame with the number of failures increasing and fewer hits. The irony is Wilson as Captain America has been the lead on one of the good post-Endgame stories in the tv show and also the lead in one if it's bad one, in the last movie. I will say he as a character was good,even in the bad movie he was the star but I think it's been sort of proven at this point is that the character can't carry a movie but can carry a tv series.
