X-Men: Days of Future Past

Marvel is gonna do the same thing in Age of Ultron . . . I hear.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

No, that's me.

For your viewing pleasure, Jye...

A Wolverine sleeping.

You're welcome.

Age of Rewind

Finally got to see this. I grew up loving the X-Men animated series and the Claremont comics.

Someone needs to stop Fox and Singer.

Now.

EDIT:
Also, I don't know if it's been brought up before or not but J. Lawrence's make-up and wig as Mystique was sad. I felt bad for her. Chick's a good actress. Looked like she lost a bet.

Watching it again I did chuckle at Logan and Charles' choice to use Quicksilver to free Magneto instead of just enlisting Quicksilver himself to help prevent Trask's murder. His power was clearly the most useful of the entire group's and Magneto was already known to be a loose cannon who can ruin everything at any given moment (which he pretty much did.)

Yeah I found that kinda odd myself but then the movie would have only been 30 minutes long if they had done that.

Well they could have shown the rest in slow-motion to make it last the full two hours.

How would QS have fixed the problem so easily?

I don't see how he would have been able to talk Raven out of assassinating Trask.

 

[Khev]

He wouldn't need to talk her out of it. Just go in to the Summit meeting where she was waiting to kill Trask, grab her, and bring her to a park a mile away in the blink of an eye where Charles and Logan can have a nice long leisurely chat with her.

Another thing that seemed odd was how Magneto manipulated the metal on the train and stitched his own head wound while watching the film. Okay he can control metal, check. But but does he also have some sort of hyper awareness to his surroundings? I don't believe that's ever been one of his abilities. How could he "see" into train cars five rows down from where he was standing? The metal was carefully winding its way through the sentinels without Magneto having any established way to see what he was doing. And how was stitching the back of his own head without a mirror, or even paying attention in any conceivable way?

When he shot Mystique he had the bullet change in midair but I assumed he was just guessing at where to point it downward (hence it going through her calf and not the top of her head.) So which is it? He guesses, he sees all things, what? Seemed pretty inconsistent.

Also when they flashed back to Wolverine being dredged from the water you see the newspaper showing a picture of Mystique holding a gun on Magneto and lower in the same page an article about Trask being arrested for selling miitary secrets. That's interesting because at no point in the story was it ever even hinted that he was selling secrets outside of the United States which then suggests that Nixon's administration simply made him the scapegoat and probably declared that Trask willingly gave control of the Sentinels to Magneto.

I think it was just as easy for Charles to get inside her head and have that nice conversation. I don't see how QS would have helped much.

With Magneto and the Sentinel, I think since he can pretty much feel where everything is it wouldn't be all that hard to take over the Sentinel and know where to put everything without actually being able to see it.

After watching the movie yesterday, Singer definitely could have done more with the action, I would like to have seen Colossus do more than get beat up and tossed around every in ever scene he was in, Wolverine fighting the Sentinels in the opening of the film would have been great too, I think they killed off Bishop and Storm way too early, would have liked to see them use more of their powers and putting up more of a fight, and I would have preferred Bobby fighting outside holding the Sentinels off instead of just watching Wolverine sleep. Like Kara said, it probably wouldn't have made the story any better but it would have made the movie even more entertaining.

Traditional or fresh mushroom?

Ha, I just watched the deleted scenes too and lo and behold there is an outtake where Stryker tells Nixon that Trask was selling weapons to Russians and North Koreans. Random.

They also show the original ending where Stryker is NOT Mystique but Singer states that it just seemed so old hat to make a big deal out of Weapon X for like the fourth time in the series. He also said that Stryker being Mystique will actually play out in Apocalypse so it isn't just a random retcon.

Uh...Because Charles didn't have his powers back yet when he, Logan, Hank & Magneto go to the summit in France and try to stop Raven.

Did you not see the movie?

 

[DiFabio]

I hate that ending with Mystique.

Funny he says that it's "old hat" when Mystique has been beyond overused.

 

[Khev]

You know I can actually but that. How would he "know" all the different metal to lift in the stadium if he couldn't "feel" it in some way. Also the way his hand scans the White House looking for the bunker does indicate he does have a way of perceiving metal he can't see.

Ha ha, yeah, "I don't want to reference Weapon X for the fourth time so I'll end the movie with Mystique flashing her eyes for the fifth time."
