If this was a Spiderman you people would be losing your minds.

Watching Michael Fassbender in regular civilian clothes argue on a plane with Charles who has a full head of hair and can walk about events we already saw play out. How completely not exciting at all. If this was a Spiderman you people would be losing your minds about how generic everything looks but for whatever reason you eat this nonsense up.

I think most X-Men movie fans (of which I consider myself, despite my hatred/indifference toward a handful of entries in the series) have come to accept the boring, lame character designs at this point. That was simply never something we had, and aren't likely to get so long as Singer and his legacy are involved with the franchise. And of course, I would prefer to see more vibrant, interesting, comic-styled designs. But so long as the movie works from a storytelling POV it's really a secondary concern at this point.

We got new costumes with a good reason that were accurate to the time period. But it wasn't Singer's doing so that cannot be allowed to be cannon going forward. Baby Singer has to have it his way. It maybe secondary to you, but I want to see an X-men movie, not a people in jeans who are picked on because gay people get picked on irl too movie.

You mean the First Class jump suits? Those were pretty decent for what they were. I probably would have gotten the Prof. X and Mags figures with them wearing those, were they ever released.

I'll see it because I enjoyed Vaugn's First Class and the cast. Fassbender is a huge talent but I have zero faith in pedo Singer and his retcon arrogance vision of a future he probably won't be around to see happen. It just feels like he's a kid who had a temper tantrum, "NO I GET TO CRIPPLE CHARLES NOT VAUGN!" "NO, X3 DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE I WASN'T AROUND!" Everything about this movie is a step backwards including the lack of comic book looking characters and Sentinels or poor adaptation of an iconic story for the sake of drawing more attention to a well known title.



You've brainwashed yourself into believing this looks intense or amazing. It doesn't. And even I admitted the shortcomings of ASM2 and only gave it a 7/10. It wasn't as good as the first.

I've already answered everything else above, too much of this movie is Singer's ego trying to right a ship he already abandoned. His vision for future movies don't matter since he's unlikely to be around for them.

He was a major part of FC, I believe he wrote a fair amount of that script, Vaughn just happened to direct it.

I brainwashed myself into think that scene was great? I think most of us who watched it liked what we saw in that scene.

Yup, they were a million times closer to X-Men costumes than black leather. They also had a practical purpose. Leather? Not so much.

No the whole movie. You've defended every aspect of it, it's nonsensical, I get that it's your franchise. SM is mine but I don't blindly defend every aspect of their poor decisions.

Making someone as talented as Fassbender have to do an impression of Ian McKellan to satisfy a pedo's ego instead of letting him take the character his own direction makes me want to throw up.

 

[karamazov80]

Leather has a practical purpose of getting Singer motivated to film scenes, I bet.

Did YOU order Singer to drug that boy?!

In all honesty there's only two things that I've seen so far that's left me underwhelmed, most of the futures suits, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, that's it. Everything else looks great to me, I'm not going to jump in the thread and use a second of a scene or my hatred for the director as an example as why the movie sucks.

and use a second of a scenek

But you'll use that second of scene to repeatedly argue why the movie is going to be amazing.

Or maybe I figured I'd spare you the same **** you've heard all along. This movie looks awful in every imaginable way and all of the costumes suck etc. Jackman and Singer are probably both done with this franchise so this all feels even more unnecessary. The CGI in the Avengers knock off scene(Singer stole the Avengers money shot for his little trope of who cares mutants) compared to the practical Beast effects are jarring. More so since Beast doesn't even look the same. Dinger just comes in and changes whatever cannon he wants after he walked away from it to begin with. The pick and choose thing is pretty arrogant considering how bad his last retcon attempt went.

This looks marginally better than TMNT which is nothing to get excited about.

Are you F'ing serious?

 

[Deckard]

Yep. Both look like they are barely using the source material to make a mediocre tent pole summer movie. Both have atrocious costumes and are retconning the origin stories.

The only difference I see is this movie has talented actors attached.

 

[a-dev]

.............please the court, I suggest the jury be dismissed so that we can move to an immediate Article 39a session. Deckard has rights.

 

[pturtle]

No, I'm using a 54 second clip, not complaining about a 1 second jump, or their "civilian" clothing while in an argument.

Seriously would Charles bald, and Erik suited up really have enhanced that scene?

But you like The Amazing Spider-man 2 right?

 

[Deckard]

Almost certainly. It would be Magneto and Professor X in that scene instead of Michael Fassbender doing an impression and some guy in a t-shirt.

Charles still being in a wheelchair and not capable of changing what his "friend" did to him sure would though. The choice between mutant power and being crippled is just a lame way for Singer to have the big event we already saw in FC play out for his greedy self.

But you like The Amazing Spider-man 2 right?

ASM2 was ok, not as good as it should have been.

You're defending this like it's so much better? Adorable. You also thought MOS was good.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Right now Deckard's like Hank after Wolverine punched him.

You think he ever banged Jennifer Lawrence in his Beast make up while she had her Mystique make up on?
