One Classy Trailer

[speccy4i]

Completely agree about the relationship between Charles and Eric is the most important thing here. Their split has to be handled right, as a genuine conflict of interest that can never be overcome.

My worst fears for this film will be that it turns out like the latest Robin Hood movie where Prince John turns on Robin for no reason other than it's part of the mythology.

If it turns out that Charles slept with Eric's girl and that why Magneto forms the Brotherhood; I'll hurl my chair at the screen in rage.

I'm really hoping that some of the older players in the Marvel Universe get some screen time: Exodus, High Evolutionary, etc.

Why the hell would anyone hope OLVIER PLATT would be Mr. Sinister?

Pluses: The Hellfire Club is a great villain for this movie, as unlike most X-Men villains, Shaw doesn't have a personal stake in the Erik vs. Charles fight. It also means you get to use interesting characters like Morrison's Emma.

Minuses: Nowhere near enough character interaction in this trailer. I don't come to see X-Men for the special effects; I can get those in 50 other movies coming out in the next two years.

Also, many of the X-Men's lesser characters are ignored for a reason: Their concepts are dumb. Darwin is basically a walking deus ex machina, Azazel is a comic-booky mess, and Mr. Sinister is straight out of bad fanfiction.

Just reading that made my mind melt from trying to unravel all the continuity. How do people keep up with all the convoluted back stories and different versions?

As for the film; haven't decided if i want to see it yet, last one didn't seem that interesting and this one hasn't piqued my interest either. Probably wait to see what bob says about it.

I am not looking forward to a movie that'll likely paint the Cuban Missile Crisis as some bizarre fiction where the Soviets were horrible aggressors. I know there's a big predilection to romanticize Kennedy and everything he was involved with, but seeing such recent history fall into the land of "extraordinary myth" so soon irks me.

One of the characters you just saw can teleport by travelling through hell.

It's already bizarre fiction. No one is going to argue a new theory about the Cuban missile crisis and cite First Class as evidence. Even in pub discussions, saying "the soviets were actually bad guys according to First Clas-" is going to sound bollocks, cause it was also the movie with the guy shooting lasers from his chest.

I think Oliver Platt's "The Man in Black" might also be the Shadow King.

You aren't required to. That is the thing about continuity, if you enjoy it, then embrace it, if you don't, just enjoy the movie and acknowledge that there is some greater depth that you probably don't want to bother with. This movie is such a big reboot that you don't need to have even seen the first movies, so you don't need to know any of this.

00:55 Lensher and Xavier meet with Zoe Kravitz as teenage mutant Angel Salvadore - first big onscreen confirmation for fans that they're playing fast and loose with the timeline, bringing modern characters into this 60s-set story. I have no issue with that - different version, different continuity, etc.

And yes, you saw the fly-wings correctly: Angel is essentially a person-sized Faerie.

I was pretty sure it was Pixie but you might be right on that one

 

[VanillaBean]

A movie about the Starjammers would be the coolest thing ever. Also I really hope this mysterious man in black turns out to be the shadow king, THAT WOULD BE TOO AWESOME!!!!

 

[saejox]

when i watch it i was like "meh, i'll check if its good when it comes".
but you are, "omg he is in it, beast love !?!, NIGHTCRAWLEEER!! "

I have a question, shouldn't take too long to answer, but I'm confused about the movie continuity. If this is taking place when Magneto and Prof X are young, shouldn't -all the other- Xmen, basically be not born yet/4-5 years old? What am I getting wrong here?

 

[snfonseka]

The trailer is good. We have to wait and see whether the movie is good.

 

[MB202]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Cyclops's dad is an intergalactic space pirate with a crew of aliens?! HOT DAMN, if that were in the movie, my ticket would be good as sold!

 

[RTR]

I can't believe it took me 2 hours to GET the title

 

[NeoShinGundam]

Mr. Sinister? Whoa, that'd be a REAL trip!

They're ignoring comic continuity for this reboot.
