Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

Who cares at this point. Fox has made this franchise beyond fixable anyway

Yup. Donkeys. How do you screw up one of the greatest comics in history?

This isn't about the comics.

Oh, yeah. That's how.

It's about the principal of the thing. It's turning film into a theme park attraction pre ride video.

HFR needs to be erased from existence.

No it isn't. It's about whining about something that you don't like because you think your own myopic "principles" overrule what others may want to experience for themselves.

HFR is in it's infancy. I preferred the 24fps for The Hobbit but I'm very curious to see how 48 evolves with improved techniques and system calibration.

Either way it's an option. those who do want to se HFR have the option and those that don't can choose not to

Yes it is.

I'll come back and argue a real point. In 2 days.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

I liked all three of them in their roles. The sheer number of characters is daunting though.

I don't really want this turning into X4 rather than First Class 2.

Hope that the bulk of these returning actor characters return for sparingly future scenes and remain seperate from the FC characters, with the FC characters taking the majority of screentime.

Either way, next to the Spidey films, the X-films reign supreme for On-Screen Marvel

Quoted for truth.

Am kinda wanting to see anna Paquin as rogue again though.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

This is shaping up to be the best superhero movie ever. Combining two of the current best (XFC and X2) into one all powerful megamovie

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

Maybe they're making the "future" be now 2013 but in the alternate reality where mutants are hunted down, etc. Therefore, we'll see Rogue, Iceman, Kitty but as enslaved mutants and not the people we met in XMen 1-3.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

It'd be great seeing these all powerful characters reduced to enslaved helpless people.

I'd imagine this film will be bridging the previous trilogy to the FC film so they can reboot it in a manner similiar to Abrams Star Trek.

Dystopian future with the characters and actors we know from the original films enslaved and beaten and helpless then the time travel element erases that timeline and in the reboot they are re-introduced with different actors and a clean continuity.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

I was very impressed by the last Xmen movie but this is looking more more like a train crash. Its a pity they would not stick with the last rotation of characters.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

It can be a cash grab, as long as it fixes the clustertruck that is the existing Xmen movie continuity.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

How is it a cash grab exactly?

They still are.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

I'm not saying it is, I was commenting on bullseye.... who i now read as train crash... my brain saw that as train cash. derp.

Point still stands though. as long as it fixes the existing continuity, i'm happy.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

Imo people worry over continuity way too much, it doesn't matter if the dialogue concerning a date or meeting or origin matches exactly, the films are mostly great and that's all that matters.
If anything the X-Men films are probably the most pure comic book movies because of the continuity issues. Writers fudging continuity for their own stamp and run is a comic book stable

This might be the longest timeframe that a cast of characters return with the same actors intact. That's impressive. I read that Mckellen and Stewert signed on for less money because Singer was directing.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

in wolverine origins, Emma frost was 12-14 years old. this was in 1979. she was also the sister of silver fox.

in X-men first class, set in 1962, she was in her late 20's- 30's

that's a pretty damn big continuity error.

and that's JUSt in the films.


It's ok if the film continuity doesn't match up with the comics, it's it's own universe.

but it needs to match up with itself.

granted wolverine origins was a garbage film.

PERSONALLY, i want the x-men films taken away from fox, and go back to marvel studios/disney, but that's just me .

It didn't help putting Will-I-Am in it either.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

Very hopeful for Days of Future Past considering Bryan Singer made one of the greatest CBM's ever in X2, but the gigantic cast means it could be a disaster where none of the characters are developed properly. Loved First Class, mainly because of Matthew Vaughn and Fassbender, but the only interesting characters in FC were Magneto, Professor X, Mystique and Beast. I didn't care about anyone else, apart from maybe Shaw (Kevin Bacon). I don't care what anyone says, i can never get enough Wolverine if it's in a quality movie, he is the greatest X-Man and Hugh Jackman owns the role.

Re: Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past

After this film we could potentially have TWO X-men series going at once. The ones in the past (First Class group) and one in the 'not so distant future' (original group). That in and of it self is pretty hard to fathom, let alone they're actually combining the two series and potentially erasing X3 as a 'what if' type of story.

Emma was at least 17 in Origins though. Personally i'm so damn thankful marvel studios doesn't have the rights to X-Men. If they did there'd be two outcomes....

1. No X-Men films for a long time, just like they did by getting Daredevil back, they got it back from Fox who would've provided a new Daredevil film within the next two years so they could NOT make a Daredevil film until 2017 or later. If you're a DD fan Marvel Studios screwed you.

or

2. X-Men being apart of the Avengers, since the MCU is actually the ACU.
