CONTINUITY ERRORS: The Official Thread (Warning: Major Spoilers)

[Odin's Lapdog]

The absense of this scene could explain the sudden day to night change.

that scene looks like it's should be placed well into the night time setting when magneto is throwing cars and pyro is lighting them up...

 

[MattXG]

You mean when he said about Logan's adamantium? Maybe he was speaking figuratively.

If you are talking about where'd I come up with the "sense" thing...


In the second movie, when Mystique gives the guard all that extra metal into his body and he walks in on Magneto and Magneto instantly realizes it. Therefore, he must be able to "sense" metal.

Oh ok. hmm... insightful

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

considering it was the only metal withing a hundred metre radius the only bits he's felt in a while, his body must have tuned himself to it. kinda how you smell food quicker when you are hungry because you're nose is more sensitive.

given his current surroundings i doubt his senses were that fine tuned and he was merely running on expectations rather than trying to feel where the metal was. it was probably when he did concentrate he realised there weren't manufactured using any magnetic metals.

 

[Anita18]

If Magneto can "sense" metal. How come he acted so surprise at the end when he finally figured out that the soldiers' guns were plastic?

Shouldn't he have known that they weren't metal?

Heh, in his hotheaded quest to show the world how powerful he is, he probably just assumed they were metal. Just like how he chose to relocate the Golden Gate Bridge when he could have simply hijacked a boat, and how he sent his pawns in first instead of smashing the entire facility in with the bridge. And then to really show his badassness, he was gonna take the metal guns and...

Oh wait, nevermind...

It seemed uncharacteristic of him though. Magneto usually knows what he's doing, and never in the movies has he been caught with his pants down like that, so to speak.

And I might also say that I've never seen a syringe without a metal needle, but meh, little things, little things...

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

the needles only need to be made of a non-magnetic substance and it's all good. he has no power over them.

 

[Anita18]

Ah. Didn't realize that. So that means Logan's adamantium is magnetic too? It would be funny if he found himself stuck to a fridge....

And if that's true, all they need to do to seriously mess up Logan is to stick him next to the core of an NMR machine and crank it up.

Somehow I find that idea funny...

Have you ever grown your hair long? I have had my hair down to my butt, and it certainly didn't take me two years to do it. Currently, I've gone from close-cut (not buzzed, but short) to shoulder-length in about 2 months.

Two years? No. Maybe a year, for some people, but it varies from person to person.

It also helps to be able to MAKE A HUGE EVOLUTIONARY LEAP, like Phoenix did.

So let me get this straight:

1. Jean Grey holding back a flood? Totally believable.
2. Jean Grey taking over Prof. X's brain to say "good bye"? Totally believable.
3. Jean Grey not being killed by a massive, crushing wave? Totally believable.
4. Jean Grey evolving into the most powerful being on Earth? Totally believable.
5. Jean Grey being able to incinerate people with a stray thought? Totally believable.

6. Jean Grey growing 8" of hair? OMG!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!

I bet you're the guys who are looking for the wires in Superman, too.

I agree with Majik1387. Hilarious post.

more than likely.

and metals don't stick to metals, fridge magnets stick to fridges, not other metals that are magnetic.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Besides the whole evolution thing, Jean looks like she has thick hair. I have thick hair so it grows fast.. so that could be another thing about her hair.

 

[X-Maniac]

The novelisation does say that X3 is two years after X2 (despite Simon Kinberg saying it was about eight months)....so her hair could have grown within that telekinetic cocoon!!!

 

[S_H_F_4839]

the only continuity concern I have is with the scene after the credits, I understand how professor x could place his mind in the body, but my question is for future x-movies will he still be a mutant, I mean physically speaking this is another body not the same one he had can this other body develop his same gifts just from his mind being in control of it? Thats got curious as to how it will play out if we get another one.

 

[Anita18]

Strange, I've taken fridge magnets and put them onto metal (and apparently magnetic) file cabinets, bedposts....I've also known people to also put magnets onto computer cases which you really shouldn't do. You'd think that they would have made computer cases nonmagnetic if it's so bad for computer function...

oh yeah I forgot to put that in my post...man. Cocoon

 

[S_H_F_4839]

I bought ultmate xmen volume 6 the day before I watched the movie, and in the comic psylocke is brought back, from her mind going into the body of a comatose patient sound familiar to anyone?

Who's to say the body wasn't a clone of Xavier created for this specific purpose? Xavier is a geneticist, and its obvious he knew he was going to be ashed.

Cause seriously, how else is someone born without a psyche?

 

[S_H_F_4839]

I don't think it is, all the comments about magneto playing god in X1 with the machine and then him take and clone himself, doesn't make much sense to me.

I thought the body was born brain dead not without a psyche.

 

[Dr.Doom]

They turned xavier into an ass

 

[Exploding Boy]

Heres one. Why the hell does Xavier have the same voice in a new body? The only thing that is his is his Mind. Not his vocal cords. I understand there would'nt be another way to show him in the new body, but it does'nt make much sense.

He had the same voice so we'd know for sure it was Xavier.

They were making it obvious - if the voice had been the voice of the random comatose person, you wouldn't know it was Xavier.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Yeah I know. *looks at your avatar* In the movie when Arclight used her powers it didint look as lightning like as in your avatar. Maybe because it went so fast.

I think they removed the electrical arc from Arclight's thunderclap, perhaps because Storm brought enough electricity into the battle scene.

To be honest, although I complained about the electrical arc, I prefer it with the arc there to not having it! Something else to be put back in on the DVD!

 

[WTFimVENOM]

I don't like how they changed Colossus' look, especially not the new metal hair

I agree. It was like a wave, I liked the electrical wave better. But it could confuse stupid people like what you said with Storm's powers.

 

[ang_hulk]

wonder whos job it was to put a cathader in juggernaut.
