Fuck it I'll ask questions.
- At the end of DoFP Wolverine gets rescued by Striker but then we see that it's really Mystique pretending to be Striker. So how does the real Striker get him and do the weapon X experiment?
- And is Magento just a Earth bender? I wonder if he can bend lava too.
- How in the actual fuck is Olivia Munn considered to be one of the strongest mutants? Storm probably, Magento definitely, Angel maybe, Psylocke
. She has a glowing light saber arm that she didn't even use as a primary weapon.
Dammit. I hope the numbers are low
I was wondering this....and also...when Prof X used Cerebro to locate the source of the earthquake early in the movie, he finds Moira but he doesn't sense one of the most powerful mutants in history right under her feet.
So far its on pace with Days of Future Past
Not even close -DoFP did $747 million global but only 233 domestic... I expect this to do around 650 but I'm praying for it to pull much less
in my 30+ years bouncing around corporate America - I've learned nepotism trumps competence every time - from what I've seen of Hollywood it seems they are 10x worseI was wondering this....and also...when Prof X used Cerebro to locate the source of the earthquake early in the movie, he finds Moira but he doesn't sense one of the most powerful mutants in history right under her feet.
It's beyond frustrating that this deep into the franchise, Bryan Singer still has no clue about the characters he's working with. Any normal job, this level of incompetence on top of pedo scandals would get you buried and blacklisted. Hollywood is on some way other shit.
Definitely a plot hole with the DOFP ending where Wolverine gets rescued. I totally forgot bout that part too. Probably too busy shaking my head at the other fuckery. As for Psylocke, she actually is pretty powerful but they fucked her over in this movie only giving her the telekinetic dagger which later turned into a whip. They showed none of her telepathic powers at all.Fuck it I'll ask questions.

A $200 million XMen movie is only worth a matinee?

I was saying that earlier but then that also opened the plot hole of why would he need Professor X then
WTF Was X-Men: Apocalypse's End Credits Scene All About?
No matter what you thought of X-Men: Apocalypse, odds are you sat through the credits to see if there was some kind of tease. And there was. And it’s a weird one, unless you are well-versed in comic books. So if you didn’t understand the implications, we’re here to help!
To explain, I have to ruin another big surprise in the movie so, obviously...
Early in the film, when Cyclops, Jean, and Nightcrawer go to rescue Raven, Beast, Quicksilver, and Moira from Stryker, they get some help from none other than Wolverine, seen in his iconic Weapon X garb. He rampages through the barracks before meeting up with Jean and heading out on his own. This is important not just is this a big part of Wolverine’s origin, but because whatever tests they did on Logan set up the end credits.
The end credit scene is back in Stryker’s bunker, where Wolverine is being experimented on. A group of people walk in, take a vial of liquid labeled “Weapon X” and put it in a briefcase with a bunch of similar tubes. When the case closes, it says “Essex Corp” on it.
The Essex Corporation is the company of Nathaniel Essex, known in the comics as supervillain Mr. Sinister. In the comics he’s a 19th-century scientist who, with the help of Apocalypse, is given mutant powers and made basically immortal. He spends all that time experimenting on mutants, trying to build bigger and better ones, so it would make sense that he wants the Weapon X serum.
What’s most interesting about this tag is Mr. Sinister’s long, varied comic book past has lots of potential connections to the past, present, and future of the X-Men movies. First, there’s the connection to Apocalypse. We see Apocalypse enhancing mutants in this movie, but Essex was born in the 19th century—in the movies, Apocalypse was stuck under a pyramid at the time. The next movie could just say Mr. Sinister is as old as Apocalypse, but that would be a big change.
Back in the comics, Sinister is also thought to have created Scott Summers (Cyclops, played by Tye Sheridan’s) son, Nathan, who becomes Cable. Cable, of course, is a character we know is coming in the Deadpool sequel. Again, a connection between the son of Cyclops (who will only be in his 20s in the next film) and Deadpool’s world feels like a huge leap. The characters do have a link, though, so anything is possible.
We’ve also heard rumors of the female Wolverine character, X-23, coming in an upcoming film. She’s a clone, and has nothing to do with the Weapon X program specifically, but the movies have often gone away from the comic book origins. It seems perfectly plausible that X-23 could be made from the blood of Weapon X in a future movie.
Oh shit I knew I had another compliant. So in a span of about 3 minutes Storm goes from season 1 Wallace being the head street urchin taking care of all the other kids to Ms. Fuck the World I'm rolling with Apocalypse now.
I kinda disagree - not all aren't good films
with Fox doing a magnificent job of fucking up the writing.......they've screwed this all the fuck up.WTF Was X-Men: Apocalypse's End Credits Scene All About?

. so, I am perplexed when people get so upset with these movies especially if they are emotionally attached to the comics. I can let go of all my preconceived notions and see the flick for what it is. It doesn't have to be like the comics.. the films can stand on their own.
I get what your saying - but for many its disappointing to see properties that already have developed character arcs turned into 1 or 2 dimensional shadows....Only the Nolan first two Batman movies are good films. They are films masquerading as comic book movies.
Marvel films are for the most part very vanilla. They are enjoyable but easily forgettable .
I like Blade but it is solid. I can watch it again. I won't revisit any marvel films at all. I saw them and they were enjoyable but they are ultimately empty and I am fine with that. I enjoy them tremendously when I am there and then 20 minutes afterwards I am done, but I watching the Avengers a second time and I turned it off.
It is like this... I saw Eurotrip one day when I was bored. I laughed my ass off. I knew it wasn't a good flick but I was dying. Right time and right place. I saw that shit again and was like...
I get what your saying - but for many its disappointing to see properties that already have developed character arcs turned into 1 or 2 dimensional shadows....
Especially after seeing successful adaptations like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and now a series like Game of Thrones...
If the story isn't good then make sure the wardrobe fx /gfx / cgi / stunts etc are spectacular! - not Power Rangers quality... in many ways this was lazy as hell! Even for a popcorn flick!
Tangent Rant:
How the fuck did Singer do a $200 million budget and the shots look like this?
but fan films and pro film makers with limited imagination and absolute bargain basement money could shoot & choreograph this?
only $7k and one camera -Robert Rodriguez gave us this
$200 million and a full production team Singer releases this:
/rant
Its a LionsGate production and distribution -so it could go either way... but
Same clouds in every shotI get what your saying - but for many its disappointing to see properties that already have developed character arcs turned into 1 or 2 dimensional shadows....
