Sequels How should Apocalypse be handled as a villain in the film series?

[iamlegend]

I wouldn't mind sentinels that were 8 feet tall....

Eh. There'd be so many whiny fanboys...

I mean, how do you film a fight scene where people sized mutants fight building sized Sentinels and put them in the same frame during a movie?

If we saw Sentinels they'd have to be horribly scaled down.

Or they could just be depicted as they were earlier in the books. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Yes and regarding the Sentinels, I think that now Transformers will make a standard for giant robots on film. Fox will become more open to that idea. We will have Sentinels in the next film. Not mentioning that it is the only plausible and logical path the story may take. The newly formed team is perfect for battling the Sentinels. The Last Stand didn't put an end to the story. Let's have one more film with Magneto and let's put an end to that story.

X-Men: Zero Tolerance
The Government in fear of the mutants, after Magneto's first open attack on humanity and Phoenix's capabilities of mutant power, decides to put an end to the mutant threat. Knowing that the cure was not permanent and that the cured mutants will develop their gifts in time, it decides to make a peaceful proposition. Magneto is given a land to rule his kind. As mutants from all over the world migrate to Genosha, the X-Men are faced with unrest by this fact and without the guidance of Charles Xavier begin to disband. In the end a darker scheme is revealed as Magneto's darkest fear realizes, the Genocide. An army of giant robots, created for sole purpose to destroy mutants, attack Genosha. When all hope seems to be lost the sudden appearance of Charles Xavier reunites the X-Men for a final encounter with Magneto.

Now I know that this doesn't belong here, in this thread, but Apocalypse will simply not fit in the next film. Apocalypse is my favorite character from the Marvel Universe, maybe the most complex one. I would like for them to really put an end with the fourth film. And then if the film does great, for them to make two more. The fourth to deal with the Hellfire Club and Sinister and the return of Cyclops and the resurrection of Jean. And finally the sixth with Apocalypse. I would like to see Apocalypse as he is, "the first one". Though I would not appreciate him being with cyber technology. The most perfect Apocalypse, that will fit in the film, is Xerxes from 300. Whenever I watched the film I saw him as Apocalypse. I cannot see the character to work otherwise with the well established mood and credibility of the previous films.

I think X4 should be about Asteroid M and Sentinels kinda like X-men Legends
And you can Introduce Sinister in X5 and Sinister is trying to free Apocalypse. in X6 the opening shot the pyramids and you hear Beast's (or anybody's) Voice talking about En Sabh Nur. So right in the begining of the film you get to know about Apocalypse.

Like in the Star Wars

this is how i think it should go i think x4 should at the begining we introuduce the sentinals made from the goverment to put all mutants in check then we slowly see another story with sinister trying to release apocolapse ( spelt wroung)while also telling his story. then when he is we are shown the power of him by the govorment sending there sentinals to him, and him just anialateing them adn then aftre that the x men and brotherhood go after him also both fighting apoco. and the sentinals ( mutants vs. apoco. and sentinals vs. both mutants and apoco.)

Apocalypse is too superhuman for the "realistic" FOX franchise. The movies aren't really about fighting bad guys.. it's more of a realistic, thought-provoking, fictional, sociological commentary where mixed viewpoints create comic-book-esque scenaris, such as fight sequences... I think they should introduce another villain (possibly Sinister) but they need to keep the main struggle of the mutants to live in regular society to keep the film form turning into something like the Batman franchise

Apocalypse could be realistic to an extent.

I mean, think about the problems an all powerful mutant could be for mutant/ human relations.

Apocalypse's power should be scaled down... He needs to be powerful enough to fight the X-Men alone, but weak enough that he can be beaten by them. No super unlimited power stuff.

^^ Yeah... you could make him more realistic... but then all the fanboys are gonna cry out. The way I see it... why humanize an immortal mutant when there's so many other usable Marvel villains in the Marvel Universe? Apocolypse didn't even appear in the comics until around '88... which means the X-Men have 25 years worth of villains, stories and situations before Apocalypse was even thought up!!! I don't see a need to depower such a powerful character in order to cram him into a "realistic" film series if they're not going to use him properly. Let's go back a little further and pick some villains that can be used more easily in a realistic environment.
