Apocalypse Jennifer Lawrence Could Be... Anybody? - The Mystique Thread - Part 1

[Rowsdower!]

Ugh this is just so bad haha

It kinda looks like she's knocking him out with her armpit stench, lol.

 

[Broseph44]

For a shot like that that's a closeup why didn't they try to make it look more believable haha

 

[GuestStar2004]

It's not all that noticeable at its proper footage speed, they could have fixed that in post if it bothered them, they could have edited it differently or digitally move them closer together.

 

[Broseph44]

It's still noticeable at full speed, that's when I first noticed it was in the trailer. The gifs just make it even more obvious, but even at full speed it was very noticeable.

 

[BeholdMe]

Seeing the gifs made it stick out more but in the trailers I didn't even notice it.

Same here

I have a hunch that she won't be apart of the X-Men at the end in the Danger Room scene. I looked at her uniform the best way I can and from what I can tell their are no X symbols, so I'm guessing she agrees to train the young heroes but it is acting as a freedom fighter either solo dolo or working alongside the CIA. I feel like her and Charles part ways on good terms this time and she knows she can always come back to the mansion.

Also I feel like if JLaw does decide to return the writers have a way to bring her back instead of being shoehorned by being an X-Man.

Same for me, though seeing the gif does make me wish they did more editing on it.

Jennifer Lawrence at the X-Men: Apocalypse press interview in London today.

 

[marvelrobbins]

with her doing press conference and being at fan screening I already see her doing more publicacy for apocalypse than DOFP.to be fair to jennifer her schedule may have been why
that happened.Scarlett Johansson has done absoletly no publicacy for civil war and noone
is faulting her for that.

 

[jaymes_e06]

^This. People target her for no reason.

 

[psylockolussus]

Thats probably because Scarlett Johansson is amazing as Black Widow!

Anyway, Jennifer Lawrence could be great as Captain Marvel. But personally, she's not just fitting as Mystique especially if they are writing her as an anti-hero.

 

[jaymes_e06]

No she is not "amazing" as Widow...

 

[Lily Adler]

She's the most famous and thus the easiest target. Fans don't like her Mystique getting so much screen time cause it's taking away time from the other characters. I think writing a narrative where she's leading the X-Men really set them over the edge.

 

[psylockolussus]

It did to me.

 

[marvelrobbins]

I like johansson as black widow.back in iron man 2 days i defended her casting. with so many keep complaning that emily blunt didn't play her.
She has gotten good stuff in both ws and CW thanks to russio brothers who handled her better than whedon did although whedon deserves some credit for
using her in first avengers.But her use in AOU sucked.

Lawrence brings it herself with her i put my foot down comments.

I feel her arc in apocalypse may be accepting again her blue form since the written explanation for spending majority of time out of makeup is
her not wanting to be seen as the one who saved nixon.and clearly by end of film both her and beast stop hiding all the time their true forms.

Even if it was done to reduce her makeup time to get her back in future they are towards end of film getting her a more classic Mystique look outfit.

She is perfectly fine but no better or worse than JLaw I find I don't even find her character that interesting or important to the plots, her best role was in TWS but so was JLaw in DOFP so I don't see why she gets the hate.

Can't argue with any of these points. To be fair though the way the actual film unfolds its more co-leading with Hank and Professor being the "cheif" while they just kind of manage in his absence.

I think SJ is adequate as BW. She plays the part best to her abilities and it works but they messed up casting her. They should have gone with someone from Eastern Europe or at the very least can convincingly play someone that originates from there.

JL as CM? That would be an even bigger mess than Mystique. IMO, she's too young for the role

 

[EnDz0n3]

I like Scarlett as Widow.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm not a Black Widow/Avenger comics reader so I cannot comment if her portrayal is faithful to the comics.... however I don't feel like any of the Iron Man/Avengers/Captain America films heavily focused on Black Widow when it shouldn't be. She didn't overshadow anyone.

And I just love the evolution of her hairstyle, its like Halle Berry's different hairstyles in X-Men movies... though with Widow, I feel like they only got her hair right in the latest one. Like i hated it when she had short hair and when her hair was super straight.

She's a Russian spy and thats core to her character. That doesnt translate onscreen at all especially since she's never attempted to talk with an accent and the character comes across as American as possible. They had her say a few lines in Russian in the opening of Avengers to assuage some of the complaints. If they changed her backstory it would be different but growing up in Russia, complete with the Red Room is still in tact as part of movie Natasha's history. At this point, SJ is good with the role so I dont hold that against her. I like her as BW, but I still think she could have been better cast.

She's always been a decent supporting character and best used in the Captain America films, where she shines. Age of Ultron was probably the worst portrayal of her

 

[psylockolussus]

Well her story-arc with Hulk wasn't good and I always noticed that her personality always change throughout the movies.... but I don't blame Scarlett Johansson for that.

I want a fringe hair cut for Avengers 3! Isn't that her hairstyle in the comics?

To be fair if you're spy and can't do other accents, you're really not much use as a spy and you should probably quit your day job.
