X-Men: Days of Future Past Countdown Thread

[Lord]

If what was anounced is right and the First Class is going to be released in 18th July of 2014 then it's officially
728
more days until the film is released.

Since X-Men didn't reach 728 yet let's start with the first appearance of the characters and other notorious stories.

Day 1

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BeGEAD8oSwg/SsF93LGXtWI/AAAAAAAABrs/9Mv2-mGgB7I/s1600/xmen-number-1.png

Yes, let's start with the classic first one. The First appearance of Magneto, Charles Xavier and Beast (This is just for the characters that appear in the First Class movies).

[Angamb]

Cool idea!

I started the 60's comics one month ago, because i want to know the whole history of the xmen since day one

Its great to see how all started and to see the original five working and living together on the school, all that stuff makes me more interested in the future sequels yet, to watch the evolution of the team and their relationships

i hope matthew pay more attention to this in the sequel

[Lord]

Yeah, i read some of their early adventures, while i didn't like those stories as much as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's work on Fantastic Four (which made them some of my favourite heroes) they had some charm, and i think that the X-Men facing Magneto in a government facility or something like that would be a nice reminder of their first encounter with him in X-Men #1. But i guess something similar was made with the last battle against Shaw in that island.

[JP]

Always love cover countdowns.

[Angamb]

you need to post the update, Lord

:D

[Lord]

Oh right :D

727
Day 2
Next up is Havoc's first appearance

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/9/90/X-Men_Vol_1_54.jpg

Since he's not in the cover here's Cyclop's reunion with his brother:

http://www.just-marvel-x-men.com/image-files/uncanny-x-men-54-cyclops-saved-havok-1-100k.jpg

[Angamb]

oh, Havoc! this is like a spoiler for me, that Im still on the 9 number, lol

but 1 day less, great! :D

[Lord]

Sorry then, hope i didn't spoil too much

[YoungPrime]

At this point....just wake me when Fox loses the right to make any Marvel comicbook films ever.

You'd think that at this point, most X-men fans would want better from Hollywood....

I really wish that Marvel Studios had X-men, Dare Devil and F4 back.

Keep in mind that The Hulk was much better once Marvel got the rights back for him. So just imagine how great X-men would be in the hands of a studio who cared about the actual characters, continuity, script and plot...

That's just my opinion but if you're happy just seeing anything then so be it...

As for me, Fox comicbook films get nothing more than a Red box rental moving forward...

[Angamb]

Sorry then, hope i didn't spoil too much

oh, no, it was a joke. I didnt even read their quotes, and even if I do it, its not a big deal, lol

:cwink:

Sincerelly, the best X-Men stories don't involve the rest of the marvel universe, the x-men universe is big enough to stand on its oun. And Fox is now giving more freedom to their directors, not to mention that Bryan Singer is controling this franchise, and he's the right man to that job.

Daredevil's rights should be wherever spider-man's are, Daredevil being ouned by SONY would fit much more than him being ouned by Marvel Studios, unless Spider-man goes to Marvel Studios too.

Who said they all had to team up...?

You're obviously missing the bigger picture here. Because of Fox we'll never see the Shiar, Annihilus or Silver Surfer in a Gaurdian's based "Annihilation movie" which on that scale could rival anything George Lucas has done in the last 10 years. Plus you and I both know that Fox doesn't know what to do with any of those characters. And because of Sony, we'll never see Norman Osborn lead a "Dark Avengers team" on the big screen. Or how about Iron man taking on a team of Doom bots in a short cameo??? The possibilities would be endless if Marvel had all of it's rights back. Sadly Dare Devil is going to end up like The Ghost Rider and The Punisher as long as he's in Fox's back pocket.

And despite your blind faith in Singer. I feel that we've seen the limit of what that Studio can or will do with this franchise... Sure you can't go wrong with characters like Magneto but what about the rest? Their backwards continuity has ruined the entrance for other X-men characters. But I'm sure that wont stop them from shoehorning them all in there at some point but that just doesn't sit well with me as an X-men fan. I think they deserve better.

Maybe it's just me who can see a more potential if these lost Marvel characters where with Disney. But I know for Galactus's sake it couldn't possibly be any worse....

[psylockolussus]

Yay only 2 years go!

Its not really a long wait since we have The Wolverine next year and we already have the first five X-Men movies that we can watch at home.

[marvelrobbins]

oh yes another of the marvel studios Is great and everyone else Is terrable.

I don't want X-Men or FF characters to prop up Avengers related films.

Marvel studios doesn't seem to realize that more are aware of 616 universe than Ultimate
universe.People were reading marvel comics before ultimate Spider-man and ultimate
X-men In 2000.

X2 and X-Men first Class have better ratings on RT than most marvel studios films besides The Avengers and Iron Man.I will take X-Men,X2,and First Class over most
marvel studios films Including Iron Man.

Marvel has proven they can ride roughshot over directors like Fox.Iron Man 3,Thor:The Dark world,and Captain America:The Winter soldier all being done by new directors.And
both Thor and Cap directors are being done with people who don't have exceperence or vision of Bryan Singer or Matthew Vaughn.

If Marvel cares so much about characters why have we had 3 banners In 3 different
films.And why instead of hulk sequel they are doing a TV show where we will probally see
Hulk on screen for 5 minutes an episode.And why do they Ignore the comic book version
of Bruce Banner In favor of a film version of TV David Banner(That was the Banner we
saw In The Avengers)

Marvel studios only cares about Avengers related films.GOTG Is being made to further lead Into The Avengers 2 with Thanos.Where Is Dr Strange?Where Is Sub-Mariner?
Where Is Punisher? Where Is Blade? Where Is Black Panther? How many years have
they talked up ant-Man?a Test doesn't mean anything.A test was done for deadpool.

I don't want to wait 10 years for another X-Men film.That's exactly what would happen
If marvel got rights to it.Considering how tired I am of reboots I certinly don't want them
to get hold of X-men.And we certinly don't need another Spider-Man reboot after the
Amazing Spider-Man.

I never said anything about the Fantastic Four, in fact i allways believed that franchise and it's characters belonged to Marvel Studios. But above all what i'm looking more for is a good movie, Fox does seem to know what they want with the X-Men franchise and i don't have a blind faith in Bryan Singer, that assumption is just silly :huh:

I didn't read Anihilation yet so i can't say anything about that but in the last 20 years there have been a lot of movies in the scale of Star Wars, even 2001: A Space Odyssey which preceded it was bigger in scale, it's just it's popularity that was one of a kind when it first appeared, now there are so many big franchise that it's probably impossible to have such an impact as Star Wars has back then.

X-Men films continuity is right now very strange but i considered First Class a kind of new begining for the franchise, the sequel even seems to be being based on Days of Future Past and to redeem the timelines but we'll see.

And with team-ups i meant that i like the X-Men universe more as it's oun universe without references to the rest of the Marvel Universe, the comics have sometimes done this in the past years, some times it seems like it's oun universe with its oun problems.

And a shared universe can be a drag, directors will have to follow Marvel's plan and will have some restrictions to what they can do in terms of scale, why do you think that Nolan wanted The Dark Knight Rises to be his last Batman film and his universe to not include Superman or any other superhero for that mather?

Not saying it doesn't have its advanteges, but you can't deny that there are also many disadvantages and things that may turn some good directors off the project, one example is Edgar Wright's Ant-Man which has potencial of being great but because it's supposed to be set in the MCU, his original ideas to make his oun thing is in danger.

I don't have a blind faith in Bryan Singer, he didn't develop all the characters as he could have, but you seem to have a blind faith Marvel Studios

You're obviously a Fox exec...

I don't want Storm clouds cast as F4 villains either... So I'll stick to my story.

[psylockolussus]

Just because they aren't agreeing with what you are saying, they are already working for FOX or a blind follower of Bryan Singer. Maybe you need to humble up your attitude because I don't want to read your insults anymore.

[Lord]

Neither do i, YoungPrime, if you want to discuss that, there's is a thread just for that right here in First CLass sequel section. And stop calling us Bryan Singer blind followers or Fox studios executives, we obviously see flaws in Fox but we're liking how things there so far, you're the one who seems to have a blind faith in Marvel Studios, so you're obviously a Fox studios exec ;)

Moving on.

Day 3

Time for Mystique's first actual appearance which was in Ms.Marvel 16:

And her full appearance was right in the next issue with

You're obviously a Fox exec...

I am fox exec?That's a joke.I who refuse to watch snows anymore on the fox network besides the Simpsons.I who have routinly bashed X-Men The
Last stand a Fox exec.I who critzed In prometheus forum the It's not prequel but set In same universe approach.Calling me a Fox exec because I don't

[Lord]

724
Day 5
Before we go to each member of the Brotherhood lets remember their first appearance:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lux8r0up4a1qdu2tro1_500.png

[The Strategos]

Wow, that's fascinating - when did the Scarlet Witch become, you know, not green? Oh, and nice to see Marvel Girl being proactive and useful as usual :o !

[Lord]

It's strange but in the covers she was green, however in the story itself she used her usual scarlet color. It's funny to see that Marvel Girl and Sue Storm ended up with the stronguest powers of their respective teams but during Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby's years they didn't do too much.

[The Strategos]

Apart from bring in Scott and Reed's pipe and slippers respectively! Dave Cockrum called that them (Jean with an implication of others like her) simps and "houswife heroes" mainly "To be looked at and rescued". That's interesting about the green though, thanks. And a great thread, I'm looking forward to following it - Banshee's X-Factor audition in 725 was a realy eye opener lol !

Thanks :woot:
I'll try to keep uploading this thread, and to tell the truth i didn't realise she was green in the cover until you pointed it out.

[Angamb]

I like how you update the topid, lord, with the covers, day number and all of that

Nice thread!

:D

[Lord]

Yeah, but i almost forgot to update twice :p
And starting in 20th August i won't be able to update for a week

[Angamb]

dont worry, you dont need to post daily.

each two-three days or so would be fine ;)

[Lord]

723
Day 5

Lets start with Emma Frost's first appearance in

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/uncanny-x-men/129-4.jpg

When she was still working for the hellfire club

[The Strategos]

I rember that happening when I read Dark Pheonix Sage :) ! I thought she was just amazing in that, just a pure imagine a hate-filled, spitting evil!

[Angamb]

Im still on comic number 8 or so, so it will take me some time before I get to that saga, lol

I cant wait to read the introductions of Havok and Polaris

[Lord]

722
Day 5
Angel Salvadore's first appearance in:

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/9/9a/New_X-Men_Vol_1_118.jpg

Day 6
Riptide's First appearance

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/978/99589-3092-107057-1-uncanny-x-men-the_super.jpg

Which also introduced the Marauders

http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/09/1/7/3/2594197925631840.jpg

[Angamb]

Ive noticed that in most covers since Second Genesis, Cyclops doesnt use to appear

Does he leaves the x-men during some time or what?

[Lord]

I didn't read many recent X-Men comics but i heard the X-Men were divided between Cyclops team and WOlverine's team

[Angamb]

no, I was talking about 60's comics, or 70's, when Storm, Wolverine, Collosus and the rest of second genesis got introduced.

most of the covers since that comic had these x-men more Cyclops, in a few of them

edited: Ive just checked some covers of the 70's, and Cyclops is in most of them, so I had a wrong impression :D

[marvelrobbins]

I have Angel Salvatore and Riptide's first appearances In my Collection.And these aren't reprints.

[The Strategos]

Angamb, I think Scott has been away for vaious reasons at varios times.

[Lord]

720
Day 7

Azazel's first appearance which was during a run that is considered one of the worts in the X-Men comics.

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/308/78609-3092-105326-3-uncanny-x-men-the_super.jpg

And with this we complete the first week o countdown

[Lord]

719
Day 8
Probably she won't return but here's Moira MacTaggert's first appearance

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/8/85/X-Men_Vol_1_96.jpg

[JP]

Some great covers.

[Lord]

718
Day 9
As a tribute to the characters from First Class that didn't make it i'll start with one of the first major deaths of an X-Men member

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/3/38/Classic_X-Men_Vol_1_3_Bonus_002.jpg

[Lord]

717
Day 10
Darwin's first appearance

http://media.emmafrostfiles.com/comics/covers/x-men-deadly-genesis-2.jpg

[Angamb]

I like to see Thunderbird fighting with the big names

would be cool to have him as a cameo in a future First Class sequel, the same with Sunfire, and to see them with Banshee on one scene or something

[Lord]

716
Day 11
Sbastian Shaw's first appearance was in the same issue as Emma so here's some panels of him and the Helfire Club

http://www.just-marvel-x-men.com/image-files/uncanny-x-men-134-sebastian-shaw-superpowers-limitation-1.jpg
http://www.greasypigstudios.com/xcardsthespot/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/0076a.jpg

[Angamb]

cool

Lord, could you post the number of the comic you use with each update?

just as a curiosity for the daily updates :)

[Lord]

Sorry :D
I think the panels with Sebastian Shaw were from Uncanny X-Men 210, the other pannel with the Hellfire Club was probably from a Marvel magazine

[Angamb]

210?

wow, seems so late

Im still on number 8 or 9 :D

[Lord]

Seems like you still have a lot of reading to do ;)
Sincerelly, the Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby years of X-Men were some of my least favourite, the writers that came after did a better job with the characters and ideas.

Either Way now that the characters are gone of the way lets go to the comics that inspired the movies.

715
Day 12
The first film wasn't actually based on any single comic book, it's kind of a mesh of ideas to start the franchise with but it certainly had some inspiration from the 90s X-Men cartoon:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75Bnm-PysKE/ThYkupR9cNI/AAAAAAAAAOc/VP3BDMv9DjE/s1600/x-men%2Banimated%2Bseries%2Bicon.jpg

Bryan Singer himself saw the show before making the movie and this was one of the reasons why he began to like the X-Men and decided to make the movie.

[The Strategos]

Sorry :D
I think the panels with Sebastian Shaw were from Uncanny X-Men 210, the other pannel with the Hellfire Club was probably from a Marvel magazine

It was Uncanny X-Men 134, part of the Dark Pheonix Saga :yay: !

[Lord]

Oh, thanks. Sorry for the false information Angamb :D

[Angamb]

dont worry! :D

[RomyFan]

2 years to go???? I might be married, pregnant, or with a kid by then! I mean, it's weird to wonder what will be of my life until then. Too long to go...

[psylockolussus]

2 years to go???? I might be married, pregnant, or with a kid by then! I mean, it's weird to wonder what will be of my life until then. Too long to go...

Well The Wolverine will be released next year, so its not really a long wait unlike before that we had to wait 3 years for another X-Men movie. The gap between the X-Men movies are getting smaller and smaller.:woot:

[BMM]

Between The Wolverine and Days of Future Past, we should have a steady stream of X-Men related news for the next two years.

[Lord]

Can a mod please change the title of this thread to "X-Men: Days of Future Past Countdown Thread" please?

714
Day 13
Another interesting comic that must have served as a major inspiration for the first film
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/Giantsize1.jpg
It featured a newly created team of X-Men that were sent to save the original in an island.

[Lord]

713
Day 14
Now for the comic that inspired X-2: X-Men United

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/X-Men_God_Loves_Man_Kills_cover.jpg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/X-Men_God_Loves_Man_Kills_cover.jpg)

[Angamb]

The gap between the X-Men movies are getting smaller and smaller.:woot:

yeahh, I love that

I wouldnt mind a First Class sequel each two years :woot:

[Lord]

I would actually like to see the 3 different X-Men film series being produced at the same time and one X-film appearing almost every year with X-Men: First Class sequels, Wolverine movies, and X-Men 4 and 5.
712
Day 15
X-Men: The Last Stand was influenced by 2 storylines, first one is

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/XMen135.jpg

[Nevaratoiel]

@Lord... does it mean you're going to be on the SSH-Forum every day until the release? Wow, that's dedication... :)

[Lord]

Well, i'll try to be around as long as i can. :D
But there will be day where i won't be able to post here, and this month i won't be around for an entire week or more, so i'll try to post here as much as i can :)

[pr0xyt0xin]

amazing title for an xmen film. too bad the series is FUBAR.

[RomyFan]

@Lord... does it mean you're going to be on the SSH-Forum every day until the release? Wow, that's dedication... :)

Awesome, I love the countdown! :yay: Makes me really excited.

[Lord]

711
Day 16
http://westfieldcomics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Astonishing-X-Men-Gifted.jpg
Which inspired the cure plotline of the 3rd film.

[The Strategos]

Great little story, I read it recently and it rocks!

[Lord]

710
Day 17
Let's move on to the stories that inspired X-Men Origins: Wolverine
First one is

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Wolverine_origin1.jpg

[Spuzz]

Which issues/arcs inspired First Class most you think?

[Lord]

You'll see when we get there ;)
But like with the first X-Men movie it was an original story that took elements from various stories.

[Spuzz]

What I figured. I like how the films haven't tried to be literal adaptations. It's angered some people but the comics should be the comics and the movies should be the movies.

[Lord]

X-Men 2 was actually as close to a literal adaptation as you can get, and it worked very well, the same seems to be what will happen with X-Men: Days of Future Past

[Great Mind(s)]

X-Men 2 was actually as close to a literal adaptation as you can get, and it worked very well, the same seems to be what will happen with X-Men: Days of Future Past

& hopefully, The Wolverine as well.

[Spuzz]

X-Men 2 was actually as close to a literal adaptation as you can get, and it worked very well, the same seems to be what will happen with X-Men: Days of Future Past

Well on the cover for "God Loves, Man Kills" you posted, Cyclops can clearly be seen, y'know...doing something. So X2 wasn't that literal of an adaptation. :woot:

[marvelrobbins]

Cyclops spent a lot of story being a prisoner of Stryker.In comic he,Storm,and Xavier were captured by Stryker.It wasn't a shock In God Loves Man Kills adaptian to see Cyclops spend a lot of time as Prisoner of Stryker.

[Lord]

Well, Cyclops was aparently going to do more in the adaptation of Dark Phoenix, until Bryan Singer left and they gave the role to Wolverine, they also cut the Hellfire Club from the film too.

[Spuzz]

Jeez. People bash Singer for Superman Returns and such but what he did with the X-Men movies compared to Brett Ratner's work on 3, and the guy who did Origins...is really under appreciated. At least by me I guess. I'm starting to realize how great and instrumental Singer really was for the world of comic book movies. If only he had directed 3...oh well.
Also, The Usual Suspects is a great movie. Guy's a damn solid director. Haven't seen the newer stuff he's done though....:/

[marvelrobbins]

well he has only directed Valykre since Superman Returns.Jack the Giant killer will be out next year after some reshoots but all Indiction Is that film Is basiclly done.

As I keep saying the present state of comic book movies Is In long part thanks to him.Plus his style of being somewhat relatistic has been copyed by Nolan and Favraru.

I laugh when some say he ruined the X-Men.He Is reason the X-Men become Film franchise.And If people online think filmmaker will retire just because they didn't like one film they are crazy.

[Spuzz]

I didn't know he was gay until recently. Not that it matters one iota of course. Just interesting. Never knew that.

[marvelrobbins]

well he never really mentions he was gay.It's an open secret but he doesn't talk about It.It's a reason why he gets X-Men.

Someties directors are good for one comic property but not another.He was best for X-Men and not Superman.Just like Tim Burton was good for Batman but never should have attempted Superman.

Some make cracks about Superman In Superman returns being gay because Singer Is gay.

[X-Maniac]

Jeez. People bash Singer for Superman Returns and such but what he did with the X-Men movies compared to Brett Ratner's work on 3, and the guy who did Origins...is really under appreciated. At least by me I guess. I'm starting to realize how great and instrumental Singer really was for the world of comic book movies. If only he had directed 3...oh well.
Also, The Usual Suspects is a great movie. Guy's a damn solid director. Haven't seen the newer stuff he's done though....:/

Superman Returns has Singer's sense of style and craft, but it's a rather odd Superman film and not the Superman film that needed to be made. Valkyrie didn't quite hit the mark either.

He has a good sense for the X-Men, for sure. Not perfect (some characters fell by the wayside) but he managed to make most stuff believable and grounded in a very Nolan-eseque fashion. The story he came up with for First Class was incredibly smart. Hopefully we will get something equally smart for Days of Future Past.

[marvelrobbins]

Bryan Singer's Intentions was to revive Richard Donnor's Superman.It got decent reviews.He came Into It with good Intentions and Is Is better than Joel Schumacher with Batman or Brett ratner on X-men.

Valkyrie was a decent thriller.He wanted to take brief break from Big budget films.and he proved a film with Tom Cruise after his 2005 meltdown could do decent at box office.

His work payed the way for nolan on batman and Farvrau On Iron Man.Both their styles on those franchises were Infuenced by Singer's work on X-Men.

Singer has admitted he made a mistake on Superman.That he should have retold the origin with someone like Nicholas Holt as Superman and Instead of tying the contunity to The Donner Superman he should have payed homage to It In some ways.He also said he regretted not doing the third X-Men before he saw It,during watching It,and after seeing It.The closest he has come to outright critizing the Last Stand publicly.

He totally got first Class off In exciting directions.focusing On Xavier and Magneto.placing It In early 1960's,and using cuban missile crisis all came from him.

[Lord]

The funny thing is that Bryan Singer wasn't interested in making any movie based on a comic book before and found Comics as unintelligent literature (ironic for somebody that later adapted 2 of the most popular comic book franchise to the cinema :D), and he turned down the oportunity to direct X-Men three times, until he actually saw the 90s cartoon and read the comics, then the themes of prejudice resonated with him and he finally accepted. (His opinions of comic books probably changed too)

His ideas for X-Men 3 were actually very cool and respected more the original comics, Cracked even made an article about that, fortunatelly now we have Bryan Singer and Matthew Vaughn working on future X-Men films, and The Wolverine doesn't seem bad either, anyway

Day 19
Time for the inspirations of X-Men: First Class but before we go to the obvious sources of the title (which are going to take a while) let's start with some more memorable comics that seem to have also inspired it.

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4/6128-2133-6694-1-x-men_super.jpg

[RomyFan]

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that the cover of the first X-Men comic ever?

[Angamb]

yes

[marvelrobbins]

Yes.

[Lord]

Day 19
A comic that dealt with the characters recruitment
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/XMen_Children_of_the_Atom_01_cover.jpg/250px-XMen_Children_of_the_Atom_01_cover.jpg

[Angamb]

didnt know that comic, is it good?

[marvelrobbins]

Yep.It Is recon of how the X-Men were recruited by Xavier.Published from 1999 to
2000 leading up to release of X-Men.

[Angamb]

but which x-men? the original five? or new mutants?

[marvelrobbins]

The original 5.

[Angamb]

oh, interesting

I should check it out soon, Im still with the comics from the 60's

[Lord]

Yeah, you're probably going to take a while :D
I didn't particularly like that comic because it put 4 of the original 5 in the same school.
By the way Angband, may i ask you in which issue you are?

but Matthew can do a whole different work with them, specially if they get a introduction scene, and then their first meeting with Charles, the current x-men, and taking part of the big final battle.

We havent seen all of that on any movie, so they can really be the spotlight of a future sequel

Haha Is that Gorilla-Man? Havnt seen that character for awhile.

[LegendAssemble]

Well, Cyclops was aparently going to do more in the adaptation of Dark Phoenix, until Bryan Singer left and they gave the role to Wolverine, they also cut the Hellfire Club from the film too.

because singer had to take Marsden :csad:

Yay only 682 days if they didn't change the release date :D.

[Lord]

I forgot :D
If they eventually change the release date as it seems because of The Hobbit, then i will have to change this, which means, more days of countdown

[psylockolussus]

I'm hoping they will not delay the release of the movie! If FOX will give the movie an earlier release date, I would be happy but if they give the movie a November/December (or summer 2015 - oh God I hope not!) release date, I would be sad, because I don't wanna wait for 4 to 5 more months.

No, no, no, you misunderstand completely.

That X-Men artwork has the big, bold feel of the Avengers movie.

No matter how much I loved The Avengers, I don't necessarily crave an X-Men movie in the same style. Bold, bright and colorful are not among the biggest reasons of why I love X-Men so much and there are several ways to be 'epic'.

Just me though. :)

yeah, definetly. I think he meant in terms of big action, big sets and all of that.

We definetly havent had a really BIG action battle in the x-movies yet, an epic battle in the middle of the city with everyone running, destruction and the heroes fighting around the streets.

Maybe the third part of this First Class series gives us all of that finally :woot:

The fight at Alcatraz in X3 is close but it was just too quick, I think it only lasted for 20 minutes.

[Lord]

Bryan SInger's X-Men 3 was going to have a bigger scale and the phoenix in the middle of the city, and it would be only part one of the bigger story that was supposed to continue with an X-Men 4.

Exactly!

[X-Maniac]

The fight at Alcatraz in X3 is close but it was just too quick, I think it only lasted for 20 minutes.

Absolutely, it was starting to get there, but it was a bit unpolished and flawed (the mutants leapt on the island too slowly, like obvious wirework; Phoenix stood around doing nothing; Juggernaut and Colossus never clashed). It needed to be mapped out and thought-out a bit more, as with any clash of superpowered beings.

The original pre-Ratner script with the Washington battle and the bridge scene in the middle of the movie would probably, overall, worked better. I'm sure Ratner made the changes so he could get the movie done in time and on budget though, so not entirely his fault.

But I did like some parts of that final battle a lot, such as when Phoenix raises water round the island.

A shame, too, that Storm's tidal wave scene was cut, though the special effect didn't feel 100% right (the column of water that fell seemed too narrow somehow).

[ThePowerCosmic]

The tidal wave scene seemed too gruesome for someone like Storm to do. She drowned all of those mutants and then electrocuted them to death. Too far for her character.

[Lord]

The tidal wave scene seemed too gruesome for someone like Storm to do. She drowned all of those mutants and then electrocuted them to death. Too far for her character.
She coldly electrocuted Toad and that woman with quicksilver's powers to death, so i don't think it was that much out of character.

[ThePowerCosmic]

She coldly electrocuted Toad and that woman with quicksilver's powers to death, so i don't think it was that much out of character.

Those were only single mutants, though. It's gruesome when it's an entire army of Mutants. It's also different because she made sure to drown them all before electrocuting them, which would have made the pain worse and was overkill.

[X-Maniac]

The tidal wave scene seemed too gruesome for someone like Storm to do. She drowned all of those mutants and then electrocuted them to death. Too far for her character.

I see your point. It could have been adapted a little, maybe summoning down a wider rainburst (rather than the narrow column) and just creating a huge wave to sweep the mutants away, without the electrocution being added.

The tidal wave scene seemed too gruesome for someone like Storm to do. She drowned all of those mutants and then electrocuted them to death. Too far for her character.

And maybe thats why it didn't make the final cut, just like Colossus's scene where he smashed the body of the big fat guy that Iceman froze.

Just me though. :)

No, I agree with you. I think the 'epic' feel of The Avengers comes from the build up that went into it - it's essentially the fifth in the MCU series of films. I think X3 could have had an epic feel if Singer hadn't went to make (the frankly awful, in my opinion) Superman Returns and stuck with X-Men. There had been talk of Singer wanting to do a double shoot for X3/X4, which suggests to me it would have had a 'main event' feel to it. The fact that the Phoenix Saga would have been given more attention would have helped a lot.

[Angamb]

there you have her, Kitty as as a pivotal character on the cover and arc.

I like how Marvel take advantage of all the characters on the comics storylines and comics.
Thats how it should be done, to let everyone know the xmen universe and all the xmen of the team, not just Wolverine.
This is why comic fans love ensemble movies and comics, because of the diversity of characters and powers.

[psylockolussus]

I like that cover since it shows the most popular members of the X-Men. Though Storm is missing in the cover.

I kinda miss the original numbering of Uncanny X-Men. I don't get why Marvel had to go back to issue #1 with X-Men Legacy, Uncanny X-Men and their other comics. I hate that they had to do that.

[Lord]

We're getting way too many number 1s latelly

Ugh, Not me. Greg Land blows.

His drawing style annoyed me, like everybody is smiling and posing but some of his covers were good.

I hope you post the variant X-Men vol. 2 cover that featured most of the most well-known female X-Men.

Still more than a year left :(

dont worry, next month shooting starts, so we'll get some pics here and there during next months and on July more than likely the first footage, so it will be a long but exciting year! :woot:

[psylockolussus]

Starting next month, I feel like its gonna be a busier month for the X-Men movie fans. The teaser trailer for The Wolverine will come out at the end of the month and we will probably get new stills for the movie next month. Then the production for DOFP will begin and we would probably get spoilers, set photos with the cast and more confirmation on who's in or out.

great cover and small group of characters. Would be so badass to have promotional posters like this cover for the sequel.

Although Kurt and Colossus arent confirmed for this movie (at least yet)
