Apocalypse Oscar Isaac IS Apocalypse - Part 1

You are entitled to a wrong opinion, but you are still wrong.

First off Bryan Singer sadly is not one for accuracy when it comes to comics. We all know this from X-men and Superman Returns. He's got something wrong with his noggin or some less then wise aids.

Now CGI? Unless that are going General Zod on this. Anything they add would have to be something the actor couldn't wear or act well in. Given how much they put on him, I doubt it.

Though why they made his lips so damn invisible is beyond me. That's like making Supermans S really small and the red damn near brown. Only a fool would do that.

This!

I just dont get why people here try to control opinions of others. Its as if they think they own this site or something.

It's not a matter of controlling opinions of others.

Beat me to it.

Except they did get his look right.

What a ridiculous "fact" to mention in a forum where a lot of people are complaining about his look.

 

[Majik1387]

People are complaining about his stature from what I can see, everything else they claim to be missing in the design is there.

Beyond ridiculous. Its arrogant and dip sh---y

Blue lips, skin color, no tubes from arm to back, what is that helmet thing. You need to look harder if thats really all you see.

 

[EnDz0n3]

There's fans who nit-pick but there's that other segment of fandom (especially on these boards) that will defend EVERYTHING and tell you you're wrong for criticizing something.

 

[Majik1387]

You can't judge lip and skin color from a heavily purple tone picture. By that logic, Storm and Psylocke are a both the same shade of pink.
Tubes from arm to back; they're pretty much engraved on his arms instead of being loose.
It's not a helmet thing, it's the random lines that are on the comic version of his head.

 

[En Sabah Nur]

This pic has nothing to do with stature and you complained about it, but nice try though.

This is what bothers me. Ive been on here for like 3 days and every time I direct a comment at the director, I got 3-10 guys directing at me. Unless I attack you, why attack me? I don't care if someone says they like it. I don't like it. All I can do is hope and pray that the overwhelming majority is on my side, and that it will make a those creating it make a few changes while there still may be time.

No, it has to do with the skin tone and lip thing. It's also missing Apocaplyse's usual head design and removed the tubing but don't see you griping about that.

Why do you call it or take it as an attack?
As for you talking to a 'director' and 3-10 respond to you, you are on an open forum; that's what happens.

I think people would be less critical (people will always complain) if the make-up job looked good. Sounding like a broken record but it just looks like some dude dipped in paint. FC and DOFP Mystique had this same problem. OT Mystique didn't.

I said it was so much better than what is currently there. Its close and it made me happy to see. You complained about it. Which puts an end to your "people are talking about stature as far as I can see" comment. Your just talking out your backside at that point.

Really, thats what happens on a forum now? Ok take your own advice and stop getting bent out of shape and complaining about how people don't like current Apoc. "Its a forum; that's what happens"SMH

 

[En Sabah Nur]

Just take back your "people are only complaining about stature comment" because that was a lie.

 

[En Sabah Nur]

Am I so wrong for wanting to see this onscreen.

You telling me Oscar Isaacs looks more threatening or better than this? Gotta be kidding me.

 

[ciscostudent561]

Yea im definetly not one to ever be picky over aesthetics. I'm generally grateful just tl l get silver screen adaptions to my fave characters. I understand the medium shift will introduce changes to their appearance and from a realistic point of view, I welcome it. I loved the realistic battle suit in the Nolanverse for instance. So this whole make up and wig thing= totally dismissable for me. Especially since Raven had such a key role in a fantastic arc.

 

[Mad Ones]

If you feel so entitled that you'll only accept your idea of what the character should look like, while completely rejecting a design that clearly shows thought and attention toward the character's history and part in a story, then don't watch the movie.

Let's look at how you first introduced yourself to the forum...

Hello everyone, I have read through about 75% of this thread. Before I start on this rant, I just want to say I am completely speaking from my heart on this. Im not here to troll or piss anyone off, but this is honestly how I feel and it is what it is.

Many of you are trusting in Singer, and he is a good director. But...much of his cinematography leaves a lot to be desired. Yes he can write a great story, but this is a super -hero movie. I want a good movie and awesome special effects.

Anyway this is all getting away from the point I was wanting to make.

I know many of you say that you like Apoc's look. That big villains don't translate well.....

Guys...I am a die hard Apocalypse fan. I have been waiting for his onscreen appearance for 20 years. He is the most quotable Marvel character (besides wolverine) in the original Fox cartoon.

What I saw from the comicon trailer broke my freaking heart. Its utterly disgraceful. And Im not trying to make people mad, I cannot stress this enough. The whole Ooze comparison that people are making...they have a similar pointy piece on there head pieces, but does he look like Ooze? No he doesn't. Is his costume corny like Ooze? Yes it is!!!

The voice is garbage...I'm sorry, but it is. The voice hisses to be deeper or he is not going to be taken seriously. Watch what happens when your voice is deeper.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AstDSzUoGfE

See you get taken more seriously. Do we really want Marty Mcfly to be harder than Apocalypse? The voice has to be altered and deeper with that same effect. You can't use some regular human voice. Even batman in the new batman vs superman is using that altered voice when he's in his iron suite. Its much better than Bale doing that garbage raspy voice thing like he had something stuck in his throat. That was just awful.

I was so happy to see that fan adjust Apoc's size and look. It was so much better than what they have. On a scale of 1-10, Id give that fan about a 6-7. Its a 10 compared to what they have though. I hope and pray that the fan uproar creates a change in this current look. Its just so bad right now.

Now I know that many of you are cool with the look. You guys are obviously not fans of Apocalypse. He is not one of your favorite characters. He's just another guy and to you and your not concerned cause you feel the movie will be good. I can understand that cause I could care less how psylocke looks or Storm, or jubilee.

Apocalypse is my character though. He has looked so imposing, so scary, so dominant, and this outfit he is in now by comparison is just corny. Sorry it is. If your a huge fan of Apoc, your going to be disappointed...very very disappointed and thats how its just going to be till a change is made.

Another poster brought up how a guy like Apoc needs to be CGI. I couldn't agree more. He should be 100 CGI like Ultron, like Hulk, like Thanos. If they made him a carbon copy of the cartoon, and gave him CGI using I-robot technology, with Oscar Isaac's voice with a deep voice effect, then we would have an awesome representation of Apoc.

I wasn't as worried about the size as I was the look. If he doesn't grow (which I 100% expect he will, many many times, into many different sizes) Then this movie will automatically be put on fantastic 4 II level with the portrayal of Galactus.

Again, Im not trying to make people mad, but those who have been with Apoc for 20 years like me. Who have the entire age of apocalypse saga in comic like me. Who watched accurate portrayals of other villains like me...then have to see this. Im just sorry. Its literally heartbreaking because Apocalypse can be the biggest baddest villain to ever grace the screen. His powers are ridiculously cool and frightening. His look is awesome, the best, but this...this is just terrible, disrespectful to the following that allowed this movie to become a thought, and fans have a right and good reason to be outraged at this load that has been presented to us as Apocalypse.

You guys that don't care, that think it fine, you have that right too, but us, the ones that are pissed and hate it, we also have that right. We are not trying to be mean or stupid, or negative, it just literally is heartbreaking for me if that is the presentation of Apoc. I will still watch it, and I think there is a good chance Ill like it, but Im still going to push and push and push for a better version of Apoc than what is currently being presented.

So, right off the bat, multiple "one true Irishman" fallacies. That is not going to endear you to people. This look is nearly perfect to me, it has pulled many of my favorite elements from my favorite Apocalypse look, which admittidly, isn't the classic look. So how does it make me less of a fan just because I have a different opinion.

And then you fall into the same trap many have been falling into since The Dark Knight and the Joker. How many times does it have to be proven that the look that we see in screen shots and stills and pre-production still very much works when put to the screen. I mean, the Suicide Squad trailer put all doubts about the new Joker to rest. Heck, it even convinced me of some of the weirder looks the group has. It literally always plays out the same.

It is okay to not like the look. But, your opinion does not outweigh others, no matter how much you feel you are the president of the Apocalypse fan club. This is a forum about a comic book movie. But with how aggressive you have been, is it really that shocking that others are not exactly thrilled with your posts? This is a comic book movie, not a political debate of national importance.

You're not wrong for wanting it, you're being unrealistic to the tone of the films.so you set expectations on seeing the cartoon like character presented in a pretty grounded earth. Your response is also whiny and childish. FOX owns u nothing. They paid a fortune for the ability to maximize the profit by channeling Apoc to a broader different demographic . this movie is looking to make 750-1bill whether you like it or not
