Apocalypse X-Men Apocalypse News and Discussion - - - - - Part 14

[CyclopsWasRight]

Damn shame we didn't see Archangel. Not complaining mind you

 

[Sullstar]

I was thinking whether they're keeping Archangel somewhat as a surprise... or whether they just haven't filmed many of his scenes yet, probably the latter

 

[xrs13]

I wonder if they will have another cover with 3 heroes such as Jean, mystique and Xavier

 

[GuestStar2004]

Presumbaly we would get nightcrawler, cyclops, jean and jubliee on a cover and xavier,hank/beast,raven and another character

 

[psyonic]

We didn't get future Sentinels revealed until the Empire cover

 

[GuestStar2004]

Maybe they haven't suited up yet, still more filming to go after all

i don't think the dark outsfit are the costumes because in the yahoo Q&A he insisted the team outfits would look more like the comics and given how psylocke looks i can't see why what he says isn't true

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

In the trailer Jean and Cyke are on the same aircraft as Mystique and Quicksilver in the new image. I'm guessing they'll be wearing the same until they upgrade.

I really wish I could be excited about this movie but I just don't like Bryan Singer's movies that much (besides The Usual Suspects, that was very good). They're not bad movies by any means, they're just too melodramatic and slow burning for my tastes. I'm just not into this retro phase or the X-Kids angle they're going with either.

Psylocke looks really good though, gotta give them props for finally getting one of the costumes right. Only took them 15 years to start getting some costumes right (Magneto's costume in DoFP was solid too). Magneto's new costume looks solid, Storm's costume looks solid.

Apocalypse on the other hand, looks really awful and I guess I'm one of the only people here that doesn't think Oscar Issac is all that great. Apocalypse is such an awesome character, I really wish another Director/Team/Actor was handling this character. They should have used motion capture CGI, practical effects just aren't good enough for a character like Apocalypse. I don't agree with people that say Apocalypse is too hard to do a comic accurate version of, they could do it with CGI/Motion Capture really well these days.

I expect this movie to be like most of the other X-Men movies, a nice solid movie but something that just doesn't live up to the enormous potential this Franchise has with all these great characters and storylines to pick from.

Tye's lookin a bit like Jimmy Marsden in that photo, I can dig it.

Kodi also looks great. I hope he doesn't have qualms about lenghty makeup processes like Alan did or they managed to cut down the time on it. They seem to be going on his Evolution interpretation, which is nice. It's cool to see Singer pull from various non-comic book sources too. I do hope they didn't change Nightcrawler's Berlin Circus background though.

Alex looks pretty good. Wig doesn't look all that closeup, but I admire her dedication to shave her head and bring forth the most iconic look of Storm to life.

 

[Sithborg]

And confirmation of his tatoos as well.

 

[Mechanix]

Nightcrawler looks like an angsty emo kid

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Angel is suspiciously missing

 

[Kermit_The_Frog]

Hope Jubilee gets some decent time. She looks awesome.

I feel like Storm is gonna steal the show.

 

[BoredGuy]

they went from super dark and gritty costuming and visuals last time around (which fit for the story) to a muffinfarmin' cartoon
balance Singer, balance

 

[Seen]

Tye Sheridan looks like a young James Marsden. Great casting there.

If the trailer is any indication, we will be just fine.

 

[Frankeh]

If the core X-Men are getting suits with color, why not Mystique and QS?

 

[Sullstar]

This is the first photo of Sheridan as Cyclops I've properly liked. Big step forward. Also agree with Boredguy completely it seems they've gone from completely serious, all black to the opposite end of the spectrum in one jump

 

[Sithborg]

Angel is suspiciously missing

Probably because they don't want to show pictures with the physical stand in for his wings. He requires a good amount of CGI.

Can FOX win?

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Magneto wasn't all black in the last movie and he was the only one in the era with a costume and it wasn't black

 

[Sullstar]

Can FOX win?

I'm not against it, just stating my thoughts. But no, I don't think they can win. Any little move will get nitpicked to death

 

[Sawyer]

Well considering this is really one of the first good looks we've gotten at him in character...

who says they may not, we don't know what that scene is exactly
