Sequels SPOILER HEAVY: X4 concept

[ProfeZZor X]

My preference would be to have Apocalypse as a being who's been imprisoned and SInister is working to unlock his prison.

Maybe the key to opening the "crypt" is the SUmmers DNA, since even in the comics Sinister has been obsessed with that, maybe it has something to do with the nature of their powers.

Having an evil genius unlock "the ultimate evil" has been done in films and books longer than you and I have been alive. It's too cliche'd.

Alright....I am a writer and currently working on a novel...but this movie has really sidetracked me . I am too much of an X-men fan. I am going to start writing a believable continuation of the story and even a way to get Professor X back in the flesh and Cyclops....AND IT WONT BE DONE IN A CHEESY WAY....I have some great ideas. The only plot hole I have right now is what is the new threat to the team??....who should be the villian. Apocalypse, Omega Red, Sinister,.........I just dont know?? Anybody wanna help me out here

Here is an excerpt that I wrote from X3 when I thought Cyclops could return...it didnt take me long but now I am going to focus on X4...I have some great ideas and I will need evryones help


Darkness lurked over the city as the crescent moon rested on the nighttime sky and stood watch over the land. The fight was raging on with such great intensity and the Brotherhood was quickly closing in on Storm and Wolverine. Wolverine looked to Phoenix who was watching from the highest point of the battle in complete awe and yelled to the team "We must keep them back, hold the line!" Although the Xmen had done an excellent job of withstanding the ferocious attack of Magneto and his army, their strength was quickly fading. Magneto stood beside the lifeless Phoenix who was in utter silence and his lips curled upward giving off a small grin. He then glanced at Pyro who was just waiting at his side for the command to unleash his fury. "They are traitors to their own cause and they don’t even know it.....such a pity. Its time we put an end to this war” Pyro took these words as a signal to finally enter the fray.
Amongst all the confusion, Bobby was tightly grasping Kitty’s hand and was ready to use his powers against any of the soldiers who were relentlessly marching forward. It seemed utterly hopeless for the Xmen at this point and everything they stood for appeared to be nothing more then a dream.
Back at Alkali Lake, however, there was a certain calmness that lurked over the area while the fight raged on. A slight breeze could be heard which let off a soft whistle as pebbles were swept across the ground. Along the shore, a dark and decrepit individual lay sprawled out like a withering spider. He looked as if he was an inch from death and his clothes were completely frayed. It was none other then Scott Summers who was thought to be dead by all of his comrades back at the mansion. As water splashed onto his pale face, Scott let off a light cough as life slowly seemed to return to his body. He cautiously rose until he had a firm footing on the rough surface of the Jetty floor and soon realized his glasses were missing. A number of questions flooded into Scott’s head. He wondered how long he had been unconscious. What was he doing here? Then, the memories of Jean’s rebirth hit him all at once. Scott remembered how they tenderly embraced each other and how he was able to gaze at Jean with his own two eyes for the very first time in his life.
He stood there helpless and unaware of his surroundings since he did not have his glasses or protective visor. At that moment, a soothing voice entered Scott’s head, “Listen to me Scott, the Xmen are in dire need of your help. Jean has become a great and powerful threat to both herself and the team. She has become consumed with hatred and is no longer the woman you remember her as.”
Scott was disillusioned by these words which brought him down on both knees. It was the voice of the closest thing he ever had to a father. “Professor, I need your help more then ever now. Please help me.”

YEah it's been used, but so what if it can be done in an interesting way, and it doesn't even have to be that.

I just think making Tacolips a CEO of a BioGenetic corp is too much of a departure for the character. He needs to have that ancient feel to him, whether he's actually imprisoned or just using SInister as a pawn of sorts.

First you have to ask yourself:

1) How do you stay within the continuity of the last X-Men movies?
2) What is the basis of their reality?
3) Will bringing in this character mess up the look of the film?

And having an anchient egyptian take over the world has no "real world" place with the current reality that's in these movies. Everything about these movies is modern, so playing "Pocy" as an ancient character like that is like splicing this movie with an old Indiana Jones movie. It just doesn't work. That's why I introduced him as the modern business man, but he can also be in seclusion, like a "Dr. Claw" or something like that.... Always lurking in the shadows, until he is revealed.

Well I think it's about time the X-men got more out there. Just slowly ease in the process with Sinister and THEN Apocalypse which would explain everything. This whole genetic manipulation and why.

I still say it could be done with a decent prologue but I get what you're saying. It still doesn't sit right with me to have Apocalypse as a contemporary created villain, that there has to be some medium between the two.

And there can be a compromise between the two, just like they did with the Jean flashback at the begining of the X3 movie. Not necessarily starting the movie with a Pocy flashback, but somewhere within the movie when he explains himself to the X-Men or whoever.

And with that, he can explain his beliefs in the dominant species conquering over all. Which would also explain why he's into bio-genetics, and accumulating so much wealth. The modern horsemen could be his way of "cleansing" all the genetic trash on earth.
