Sequels Mystique

[X-Maniac]

Not Scarlet and Quicksilver. The time frame of this movie is before the trilogy, and it doesn't seem right to have Scarlet and Quicksilver happen before then. I'd like them to be in X4, though.

I disagree. In the source material, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were in Magneto's early Brotherhood, in the early days when Beast was an X-man, way back before Storm and Wolverine and Rogue were around. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for them to be in this prequel. It fits with the comicbooks.

Since when have they been doing things that "fit with the comicbooks"?

Chances are that they are going to be in one of the Avengers movies so this movie could explain why they abandoned Magneto and his cause.

The movies have done a pretty good job of keeping the characters on their proper "sides," so it might not be too far fetched to see Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch involved with Magneto's initial Brotherhood. I think it would be interesting to see them abandon their father, illustrating what a changed man he's become.

I thought this movie was gonna be about Magneto's past... not him forming the brotherhood... Is this movie gonna be some Anakin to Darth Vader type crap?!?!? I sure hope not.

The movie is about Magneto's origins as well as his friendship with Xavier and what tore them apart. Naturally the Brotherhood and X-men will play roles in the movie.

I guess I'd just rather see them in a sequel, not a prequel. I wish they would work on an X4 instead of Wolverine and Magneto. =/

Recent script reviews say Mystique will be in Magneto. However it is probably a small role.

Yes well, like I said, better chance of em being in an Avengers movie than an X4. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were with Mags from the start and then abandoned him. I don't want to see some kind of reversal where they all of a sudden think his cause is so great out of the blue.

I want to see The X-men up against incredible odds and Magneto seeming like he's winning only to have his own children turn on him. It'd be better than just having the X-men beat his ass in his own movie.

That's how it's been in the regular comics, that's how it's been in the Ultimate comics, and that's just how it should be in the movie too. And the X-men and Brotherhood pretty much have to be in this. I can't imagine too many action sequences with just Charlie Xavier as an antagonist (unless they plan like extensive mind fights where Magneto's fighting dragons in his head or something)...Or I dunno, both of them fighting Shadow King or something.

Yeah, it will probably just be a cameo. I wonder if they'll ask Romijn to be in it?

So, it's gonna be like the Star Wars prequel trilogy with Anakin turning into Darth Vader... That's gay.

 

[Savage]

Well what else would it be? Erik fending for himself in early 20th century Europe? I honestly prefer the so called Star Wars knockoff.

 

[ReallyCoolGuy]

Well what else would it be?

^^^ That's what I've been asking myself since they announced it. F**k this film... I'm not going to see Magneto or Wolverine... or The Dark Knight... they're all gonna suck. F**k superhero films, man, that sh**'s played out. They're oversaturating the market with this crap.

Then one has to wonder why you're even posting on this board. I'm sure there are plenty of sites dedicated purely to the comics.

I think superhero flicks are becoming a well planted part of the sci-fi genre and maybe it's own movie genre in general so I don't see it going anywhere any time soon. These movies just need to start differentiating themselves from each other because these basic origin movies are getting old. It's like they're all planning a franchise.

Because up unto this point, I was interested in the film.

Well said. My thoughts exactly.

If Marvel wants to tell a series of stories then they should just create their own network and make a television series out of each of these titles.
