X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

Why is Angel considered a "stronger" mutant I wonder? He just flies around.

Watched Rogue Cut, silly me thinking she would've taken flight for an action scene in this version

Nope, just more walking

Overall didn't really add much, I get why it was cut.

Paquin's face certainly grew up.

Few questions still linger.

Why didn't bleak future infrastructure disappear along with the X-Men when Mystique saved the future.

How did Magneto control Sentinel guns, all that from the metal wrap?

Magneto recovered really quick after getting shot thru his neck.

Why did White House Sentinel all of a sudden detect mutants.

I wonder if BTS Paquin threatened to sue to have this released with her scenes inserted back in and her name displayed as prominant as the movie title?

Still a good movie.

You forgot to mention that they left Quicksilver.

Why is Angel considered a "stronger" mutant I wonder? He just flies around.

I always thought the same thing, but then I saw this.

His bones are hollow, his body processes food more efficiently than a normal human body and does not store any excess fat, and he possesses a greater proportionate muscle mass than normal. As a result, his strength, speed, agility, flexibility, endurance, reflexes, coordination, balance, eyesight and hearing are at their peak. Elements of his anatomy are comparable to those of birds, especially birds of prey. His eyes can withstand high-speed winds which would damage the average human eye. He can breathe at high velocities or altitudes, and he can cope with the reduced temperatures at high altitudes for prolonged periods of time, giving him a greater-than-normal capacity to endure low temperatures in areas such as the Arctic. The strength in his natural wings can easily break a man's arm or leg, or even put someone through a wall.

He has undergone heavy training with Professor X, especially in mastering his flight indoors. He has demonstrated superior agility, flexibility, reflexes, coordination, and balance while flying, and has been shown defeating superbeings much faster than him (like the Human Torch) by dodging them and having them smash against the ground or a wall at full speed.

Angel is also an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, having defeated several of the werewolf-like **** superior when Wolverine is defeated. He is trained in hand-to-hand combat at Xavier's school; while dating Psylocke, he receives a considerable amount of martial arts instruction

His wings have been replaced by Apocalypse with techno-organic versions which can appear the same as his natural wings.

As the result of a secondary mutation which has been shown inconsistently, Archangel also develops a healing factor and can heal others by mixing his blood with theirs.He is nearly immune to injury because his healing blood is constantly flowing through him.

Archangel possesses a set of metal techno-organic wings grafted onto him by the genetic engineering of Apocalypse when Apocalypse renames him the Horseman of Death. These wings are composed of a hard, sharp, organic material that resembles the "organic steel" of Colossus' body. The wings give him the ability to project his metallic feathers out from his wings at great speed and with tremendous force, enabling them to pierce even steel.

Archangel does not have complete control over his feathers, which sometimes shoot from his wings against his conscious will in response to his unconscious aggressive drives. The feathers are laced with a neural inhibitor chemical, generated by Archangel's body, which induces temporary paralysis.

These wings allow him to fly at speeds much faster than his natural, feathered wings. The edges of these metal wings are also razor sharp, allowing them to be used as weapons.

How exciting...

Well Archangel in the comics is more impressive, but that's due to changes made by Apocalypse that, presumably, are comparable to changes he would make to anyone else. So sure, he's got other features associated with flying that make him a bit more impressive than a normal person, but one of the strongest mutants around? Because he has hollow bones, can see a little better, and is slightly better at metabolizing his food? I'm sure they will have an explanation for it in the film. I've actually never read the X-Factor comics where Archangel was created, so I'm not totally sure what the justifications were for his being chosen in the comics.

Pretty solid group of actors there, putting everything else aside. And Channing's quick "cajun" accent at SDCC. . .was actually not bad. I think that one has the possibility of winning me over.

 

[GasparZizou]

It looks like a weird old family pic of a dysfunctional family

At least Ryan Reynolds is not Green Lantern. Still have to see what Gambit looks like, but an odd choice for a franchise.

 

[karamazov80]

Just noticing that of the new Apoc cast, only Munn and the guy playing Apocalypse are there. I hope this doesn't mean the guys playing Jean, Scott, Ororo, and Kurt are going to get short shrift in this movie.

 

[RIDDICK]

They most likely will tho.

And potato head Tatum is the retard that ruins it.

 

[GasparZizou]

He really looks funny and out of place

 

[RIDDICK]

Pretty much in every movie he's in.

I cringe at the image of him in the Gambit get up...

Pretty much in every movie he's in.

Maybe from a tactical stand point is good to have a guy who can fly?

As long as you have ab muscles showing you're good in Hollywood.

 

[mr krapopple]

I was going through the leaked trailer when a came across this shot of what appears to be beast in a costume that has quite a bit of color in it

Spoiler

Also what do you guys think of Magneto's new outfit? better or worse than DOFP?

And look who is perfectly dead center in between both groups acting as a literal focus . . .

A lot of A-listers...and Olivia Munn.
