This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]512475[/split]
Ideally for me the sequels to this movie would explore how the members of this team grow up together through new adventures a la Harry Potter, if you continue the decade jumping we'll miss that and will have to accept whatever the filmmakers decide happened to the characters in that decade (and some people are still pissed off over them killing Emma Frost, Banshee, Azazel, etc.)
Famke Janssen was born in 1964, Halle Berry in 1966. Their characters being in their late teens in 1983 is pretty much right on. Marsden was only 10 in 1983, though.Keeping them in the 70s would have meant Scott/Jean/Storm/etc. are off limits. They're already pushing it having them 16-18 in 1983.
I agree and disagree. Since the main X-Men films are always jumping decades that puts the other properties dependent on them. There's nothing really to say they won't jump another decade. Films like say Deadpool likely won't want their stories jumping 10 years every film. Which would cause just as much conflict in keeping everyone and their narratives in one place.
Well I think they wanted wolverines swan song to be set in the future to feature professor X and possibly other X-Men as a goodbye to him. It really wouldn't work shoving him in the 80s too because then people would expect him to stick around for more movies which he isn't. Even though they could use him but I like what they're doing.
I don't think it's not that they don't have a plan but they don't plan far ahead. They have a plan for the next films but they always like to tie up each movie without us needing to think about the next one right away. I think that's fine.
If they would just simply plan stuff out, these could be easily avoided and that's their biggest issue - they don't plan things out with this universe at all.
Not necessarily. I think people thought too much into it like she was using him or something but it just goes with her saving mutants and stuff. She probably just sent him on his way for all we know. Anyway if the reports are true and Hugh is in this we will get some answers and then the Wolverine movie with Prof X will fill in the gaps. Like Prof X said at the end of DoFP they have a lot of catching up to do.

I kind of wish they would plan stuff out too, but at the same time I am also glad that they do things movie to movie rather than having a large master plan of the whole universe.
Once you start planning these things out, it can really potentially lead to more studio meddling. And also lead to significant portions of movies being dedicated to setting up future parts of the universe rather than having the movie being more contained.
This. People read too much into this. General audience won't exactly keep questioning it, they'll accept it for the sake of the ride.
How very true indeed. What works for one studio may not be the best policy for another and vice-versa.
Planning is a strategy. Not copying a style.
I don't think you're giving the general audience enough credit, they're not clueless people who just go watch movies and leave without questions. There were plenty of people in the general audience that wondered what Mystique was going to do with him post DoFP.
I don't think that it needs to be planned out in advance for years just when you get to the next chapter making sure that plots and cliffhangers are addressed is important.

Surely they won't. But it won't take them out of the experience. General audience question where the other Avengers are in almost every post Avengers movie. I'm just saying that they won't come to the conclusion of a grand conspiracy with Wolverine, they're more likely to assume that Mystique simply let him go.
