Apocalypse THE EVAN PETERS / QUICKSILVER LOUNGE - "Take it slow, Peter"

[GuestStar2004]

I suspect if we believe what Bryan singer says then it won't be those exact outfits in promo shoots tbh

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Let's hope so.

 

[Mystique's Leg]

What I like about that picture is that it confirms Mystique and Quicksilver will interact with each other (and the others on the X-jet). A critical and a little bit cynical Mystique and a sarcastic Quicksilver could be awesome. And both characters didn't have a lot of interactions with various other characters in DOFP.

I could see them just tone down Quicksilver's powers a bit and ignore the seemingly overpowered version in DOFP. I hope he'll have a showdown with another character instead of just rescuing nameless civilians.

 

[The Guard]

Hey, Quicksilvers wearing green. Or dark, dark yellow.

 

[psylockolussus]

I dont think Quicksilver was overpowered in Dofp... He was against non mutants... it wasnt like he was against a powerful villain and then won in an instant.

Magneto/Quicksilver relationship will be explored in this film.

Where does it say it will be explored in the article ?

In comics, Pietro/wanda are Maximoff's adoptive children, from Magneto/Madga.
In movies, Quiksilver may be biological son of Mrs Maximoff. Mrs Maximoff had a boyfirend who manipulate all metals. She maybe has children from severals boyfriends. Pietro = biological son of MRS Maximoff/Magneto, no Madga in movie universe.

In original timeline, Erik doesnt know he has children. In comics, he didnt know that twins Pietro/Wanda are his children at the beginning.

Article? It's a video... with Singer.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

Ok

The way Quicksilver was used in DoFP was stupid. Hopefully he's put to better use in Apocalypse.

 

[kasjan]

Wat?

 

[Avalanche]

Oh he was definitely overpowered. He was so fast he could essentially freeze time, which is much faster than he's generally depicted in the comics. He was venturing into Flash speed force territory. They essentially had to write him out of the rest of the movie because he was so strong.

No one with physical powers could stop him, though he's probably still vulnerable to psychic powers.

 

[Majik1387]

Quicksilver couldn't freeze time; he doesn't control time.

The handful of posters saying he was overpowered is still one of the most stupid complaints I've seen of DoFP.

 

[Avalanche]

Quicksilver couldn't freeze time; he doesn't control time.

Re-read what I actually posted and try again.

 

[Flint Marko]

Quicksilver was most certainly overpowered for what tiny role they gave him. They pretty much presented a character who could get anyone out of any situation, and then got rid of him immediately. As Avalanche said, they wrote him out because he was so overpowered.

 

[Majik1387]

I read your post.
"He was so fast he could essentially freeze time"

It's still a stupid complaint.

Ohe yeah? Then why didn't they use him during the rest of the film? Surely with that kind of power set he'd be handful in the latter half of the film. He was OP. He was moving so fast that bullets were moving at a snails pace for him.

 

[The Guard]

They didn't use him during the rest of the film because the character's use to begin with was a cameo. He replaced Juggernaut's cameo in the script.

 

[TeeKay]

Oh come on. I read the draft that had jaggernaut with it. I have it. Its one of the parts of the scripts that was lazily written. It was convenient thanks to Kinberg. And his part was more than just a "cameo". Don't get me wrong, his scene was awesome. But the complaint that why wasn't he used in the rest of the film is valid considering what the character could do.

One thing that's worse than a Deus Ex Machina in my mind is a Deus Ex Machina that the heroes decide not to utilize. Like a lot of people have said DoFP's Quicksilver was very overpowered and could've solved the movie's plot by himself.

 

[Filmfreak]

It'll be interesting to see him against Apocalypse and his forces especially this time around where Singer said he won't disappear for the rest of the movie.

 

[TeeKay]

I have a feeling he might be watered down. Singer better come with creative ways to utilize the character than he did in DoFP.

Whedon made his Pietro slower to avoid making QS a deus ex machina. He set limitations for the character.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

You miss the point of the film entirely. Obviously they could have used him to end the film in like 2 seconds, but the movie wasn't about stopping Mystique... at all. The fact of the matter is: he has no stake in the film. No concept or care in the world about what was going on in the plot. As a result there would be no emotional investment in the film or tension within the story. He would simply be just there, and there would be no story.

You're right. He was overpowered. I guess that's why he doesn't have an even larger role in X-Men: Apocalypse. Oh, wait...

 

[xrs13]

I think he is the perfect mutant to show apocalypse or his horsemens power.

 

[TeeKay]

You're right. I missed the entire point of the film. He was a walking deus ex machina. That's what is being discussed here. Like I said, I liked his character and his scene but yeah the complaint about him not being useful for the rest of the film is a valid one.

Having a larger role in Apocalypse doesn't mean jack to me. I was just chipping in my 2 cents on how the character was utilized in DofP.

I think the biggest problem with speedsters is that it's difficult to portray their powers properly. Either you end up making them so fast you get a "well why didn't the whole movie just end with them doing _____" or you make them too slow that viewers just kind of feel underwhelmed. You have to have a balance.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

You're right. I missed the entire point of the film.

Not only that, but you failed at watching the movie.

He was a walking deus ex machina.

Kitty could have sent Logan back to the 60s and prevent the climaxes of both FC and DOFP.

Xavier could have shut down her mind.

Magneto could have killed everyone in that terminal.

Beast could have let Magneto kill her in France or done it himself.


So what? As we all know, the character was swapped from Juggernaut. Which just shows how interchangeable the role is and how irrelevant the role was to overall story. Point is, they got Magneto out of prison. End of purpose in story.

That's what is being discussed here. Like I said, I liked his character and his scene but yeah the complaint about him not being useful for the rest of the film is a valid one.

And that is why you fail at movies.

Having a larger role in Apocalypse doesn't mean jack to me. I was just chipping in my 2 cents on how the character was utilized in DofP.

If his OP was the reason for being written out of the last act (ignoring the fact that they could have just written him out of the film completely) then why would they give him an even larger role in the sequel? For ****'s sake. Read what you write.
