NightAngle04 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is that Apocalypse's temple in the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Oooohh! I wonder! That said, if the heroes fuck up history through time travel and this movie ends badly for them (RE: The Empire Strikes Back), maybe the third First Class movie could be Age of Apocalypse.

Dan Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 That looks as good as I could have hoped, except for Bishop. 90's costumes don't work on the big screen. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 It gets points for using Adagio in D Minor for the first half of the trailer and it doesn't look bad. I will say one of the things I liked about First Class is that it wasn't all about Wolverine but ehh, let's see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm thinking the trailer has a lot of Wolverine to sell it, but it will be mostly about Professor X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightAngle04 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I get that feeling as well, they put Jackman all over the trailer because he's the biggest star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm fine with Wolverine when he's juxtaposed with other significant characters, and there's plenty to choose from here. Wolverine might be the thing the rest of this moves around but he's far from the only significant player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 -ALL the talent. I mean, it could turn into Star Trek Generations with Patrick Stewart getting killed by a bridge instead of on one, but it's hard to turn against a roster this fantastic. Stewart, McKellen, Jackman, McAvoy, Fassbinder, Page, Paquin, the dude who plays Iceman and of course Peter Dinklage. I freakin LOVE this cast, not just for the names but for the characters. ...Berry.... Who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I left Marvin Berry out deliberately, you know how much I resent him stealing Marty's sound for his cousin. I also thought Apocalypse when I saw the Temple, but there's no casting on that front and it seems like a small use of a big character. You've already got Trask and the Sentinels, that's enough.

dc20willsave Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I dunno how I feel about this. With the actual anniversary of the assassination so close, it almost feels like it's a little in bad taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Just wait 40 years, Magneto will be bending planes into the World Trade Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have a feeling this is going to be one of those divergence points for the movie's history. But. Yeahhhhhhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah, the anniversary just passed, but the man died 50 years ago. I feel it's okay to use this as a character / plot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Oh, I know, its just that the anniversary was literally last week. I feel like they should have waited a few more before going with that bit of viral marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I live near Dallas where they held the JFK memorial services. All day Friday the local news was dedicated to JFK and nothing else. There was even a serious storm that swept over the area (freezing-temperature winds and precipitation), but there were so many people crowding the memorial site they had to turn people away. When I saw that Magneto video, I found it very odd. Partially because so much of it obviously conflicted with reality (I've seen enough news reports on the JFK shooting over the last weekend to last a lifetime), but also because it felt so weird to take something that serious and make it about a comic book character. I saw elderly people in tears on Friday during the memorial, so to have a story where Magneto was responsible for that doesn't sit right with me. I'm not mad or anything, I just don't find it entertaining at all. EDIT: Also, I think it's important to note that this is really different from saying that Magneto was a child in the holocaust. That's entirely fine, and it makes perfect sense. It's just that the JFK shooting was such a specific event/action that it doesn't feel right having him in there.

Dread Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I disagree. It's one of the most significant events in American history of the past 50 years. So many pieces of genre fiction have been written, filmed, drawn, and sung about it and all of a sudden it's taboo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Doesn't Watchmen heavily imply that The Comedian assassinated JFK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the anniversary of the event, it's a little tasteless. Like I said, I have an unusual perspective seeing as I live right next to where the memorial was held, so it probably doesn't have the same impact on 90% of everyone else.

Stavros Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 More than 90% of people don't live near the memorial site. But yeah, ordinarily I'd be fine with this but its a stunt for the anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 More than 90% of people don't live near the memorial site.I was also factoring in people that don't live nearby, but were otherwise affected personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 What, like Jackie Kennedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Anyone who might have been at the actual event, anyone who might have known the Kennedys or otherwise had their lives affected by the killing, et cetera. But I'm not gonna defend my 90% generalization any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
