Singer treating a superhero as a mournful, weighty figure
The difference: Slow and lovelorn — barely any of the ensemble propulsion

Claws-out mutant action carried by a man tired of outliving people
The difference: A lone character study — no team, no world-ending clock

The same two preoccupations: superhero, and time travel
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are built on the same subject: superhero

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Both lean on ideas more than on action

Kinetic adventure, and it commits to that

Epic science fiction in both cases

Action with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Adventure built on momentum, twice over

Big-canvas heroism wrestling with what a superhuman owes people
The difference: Sunnier and standalone — no dread, no cost of a future already lost

From the 2020s, and it lands the same way
