Both are Bryan Singer's work, and they rhyme

Common ground in both: superhero and mutant

Both are working the same pair: superhuman, superpowers
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: superhero

Both land scale and momentum at once

Both keep coming back to the same thing: superpowers

Cerebral adventure, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Action built on scale, twice over

Kinetic science fiction in both cases

Both lean on ideas more than on adventure

Action with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Science fiction built on momentum, twice over
