Apocalypse X-Men Apocalypse News and Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 42

[GuestStar2004]

honestly i heard alot of people talk about the DOFP QS sequence.. but i really didn't hear anyone really talk about the Apocalypse sequence besides hardcore fan forums like on here... and it was not nearly the same level as the DOFP reaction

Maybe you just aint looking in the right places because from what i have noticed its talked about less on these fan forums then it is on wider networks like twitter where he apparently impressed enough people to think he could have his own solo movie.

The sequence continues to be posted all over instagram and has been even before it was out america, people were recording it by with their phone on obviously until fox were putting out copyright strikes and whatever, and i know that because i watched them a couple of times before they were deleted.

In terms of hype you can't recapture that first time but for many its still the stand out sequence

Jean Grey's Phoenix moment was also everywhere on social media!


I think Sophie Turner and Evan Peters are clearly the fame winners after 'X-Men: Apocalypse' and should get the biggest screen time in a sequel to please fans.

Let's hope that they will retire or re-cast Mystique though...I loved her in 'Days of Future Past' but Jennifer Lawrence was very hard to watch in 'X:A' and her fans also did not show up...

Maybe you just follow the X-film fanbase far too heavily...

ive been on these board for 15 years and follow multiple outlets and social media heavily... if its a big deal.. i hear about it.. apocalypse in general let alone those talking about it were much fewer and far between than DOFP which of course means less people were talking about the Quicksilver scene.. there was no-where near the same level... and the general consensus for those who did felt the film was mediocre.. so again.. that's going to lesson the amount of people talking about QS and Phoenix stuff.. its just common math and reality.

Could say that

Well you are clearly missing something

 

[X-Maniac]

It was one of the film's highlights but everyone expected QS would have something like this because the DoFP scene was so well-received.

The XM:A stretched his powers a bit too far in that sequence, in my view.

But we were also expecting some wow action scenes as well. A big showdown at the end, for instance.

Singer doesn't seem to like (or able to manage) that sort of thing, he has these bitty little battles going on instead.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Could say that

and thus what you see is more skewed to like minded people while mine is skewed more to the general public...

Well you are clearly missing something

clearly i'm not.... there was barely any buzz about this film at all and it came and went with very little fanfare. it became yesterdays news incredibly fast...

as i said its simple math.. less people went to see it.. so less people bragged about scenes in it. not really a hard concept to get.

 

[GuestStar2004]

and thus what you see is more skewed to like minded people while mine is skewed more to the general public...

Depends if Twitter,tumblr and Instagram are not general public networking which i been following for a while

 

[def28]

The Quicksilver mansion scene, Quicksilver fighting Apocalypse and the Phoenix reveal were the scenes I constantly saw being passed around and uploaded on youtube and twitter near the films release. I rarely saw other scenes getting attention or bootleg.

What people are constantly uploading to youtube is usually a good sign of what was the most popular. For Civil War it was Spider-Man and the airport battle, Suicide Squad was Joker and Harley scenes together etc

 

[Superhero 101]

I know some people didn't like it as much but QS knocking Apocalypse around was pretty awesome.

 

[DavidHaller]

really? I think it looks ridiculous and totally undermined the character Apocalypse minutes before he needed to be seen as a manacing monster...Apocalypse was staged way too defensive in my eyes (besides the Cerebro scene). it made him never look like a real evil threat.

[GuestStar2004]

X-men Original Cast returns?Maybe http://www. comic book movie . com/...rticle is from 2014... why did you post this?

 

[Alison Blaire]

I went on the link thinking it was new, tried to play the video and was confused why it wasn't working and then realised the article is from 2014... why did you post this?

Sorry,I thought that was new.

they honestly really arn't. Tumblr especially is usually a much more exclusive nitch... Facebook and news sites, genre groups etc are far more general public, while twitter, tumblr, and instagram are usually subscription based ... and based on those you follow.

its sorta like news... you can pick and choose now what news fit your opinion better.. and before you know it you're really sorta isolated into seeing the majority of the opinions you want to see or agree with rather than getting an actual well rounded perspective. And instead, it gives one a false sense of majority then what's actually in reality.

thats where the debate is being misconstrued... "most popular scenes of the film" is not the argument.. "the popular scenes being as popular or having high levels of general public discussion" is what we are debating..

as i said, those scenes were not talked about NEARLY as much as the DOFP quicksilver scene, and thats largely in part because of the fact Apocalypse in general was far less talked about (and viewed in theaters) than DOFP

im not really sure why people arn't following or understanding this?

You are saying I am looking for things that fit my own Opinion when really no I am going by the majority of posts i see and yeah I seen a lot of posts claim the quicksilver sequence was the highlight for them, that's not my opinion that's what I have observed

You ever thought maybe it's you who just doesn't care enough to observe this stuff because you feel your opinion is the manority already?

im not saying you look for things that are your own opinion, but because you keep like minded individuals in the things you follow, it skews things a bit. MOST people who follow X-men movie stuff are major X-men fans... even more so than people on here... I'm a major x-men movie fan, but im not exactly happy with the current situation of them. But I'm also not going to follow them heavily... and I wager majority of those who do... are people like yourself who typically love just about anything they spit out and get pretty defensive against critiques.

if you follow that stuff heavily its likely because you "REALLY" like it.. and if you follow it because you "REALLY" like it.. then others are doing the same.. so the opinion IS yes, going to be skewed to we "REALLY" liked it.

again, this is just common sense. My info and what i follow is incredibly well rounded.. and i don't put myself in niche groups...


again, this is incredibly easy to follow... and i'm not sure why you keep making excuses for it...

Less people saw this movie... that means less people talked about this movie... this means the Quicksilver and Phoenix scenes were less popular than the DOFP scenes...

it's just common sense man.

Not really as i said i am just going by what i observed, like for example the teen choice awards thing that was going on a month or 2 ago, quicksilvers scene stealer nomination got over a million retweets, jacksmans rage sequence nomination got 4000 retweets.

Of course i seen comments by loads who felt apocalypse was a bad villain which is not my own straight up view of him at all, thats something i observed but doesn't gel with my own opinion.

Less people saw this movie... that means less people talked about this movie... this means the Quicksilver and Phoenix scenes were less popular than the DOFP scenes...

Well i admit if we are going by the logic less see it so less are talking about it then yeah thats flawless logic but that pretty much changes what i thought the whole argument was about and that is people are talking about it less because they were not as impressed by it, at least thats what i thought you was saying but if you are gonna use that argument then thats clearly not what you are saying

 

[spideyboy_1111]

... lol i really wouldn't count "teen choice awards" as anything.... at alll it holds no stock value what so ever.

considering i've repeated myself multiple times in saying "less people saw it yadda yadda" and specifically said the sequences in Apocalypse were far less popularized than the DOFP sequences... spelling it out multiple times.. and still getting argued at as if i were saying the scenes weren't popular at all... yeah i think you missed what i was arguing and discussing from the get-go.

Less people WERE impressed with it.. Because LESS people saw it.. which is the root of basically everything.. as i said when this whole now pointless debate started.. was i really didn't see many people talk about it other then remarks on this board.. unlike the DOFP sequence which i saw all over social media.. and that's because there WAS less talk about it. because LESS people saw the film... ive been repeating this over and over since the discussion began...

 

[GuestStar2004]

Less people WERE impressed with it.. Because LESS people saw it..

Since this discussion was brought on by you saying

honestly i heard alot of people talk about the DOFP QS sequence.. but i really didn't hear anyone really talk about the Apocalypse sequence besides hardcore fan forums like on here... and it was not nearly the same level as the DOFP reaction

it seems to me you might have just argued slightly against yourself there, esp when we was talking about the action scenes and now the subject has become about less people seeing it so less were impressed with it which doesn't really make much difference to the reception of the action scene.

dude ... im not arguing against myself at all..

and i reiterate this..

honestly i heard alot of people talk about the DOFP QS sequence.. but i really didn't hear anyone really talk about the Apocalypse sequence besides hardcore fan forums like on here... and it was not nearly the same level as the DOFP reaction

seriously.. all you have to do is add on the reasoning "because far less saw the film and were excited by it"

i guess this is what happens when you talk to a brick wall?

don't get so defensive.. its apparently clouding your reasoning and ability to comprehend?

 

[GuestStar2004]

i guess this is what happens when you talk to a brick wall?

Difference between me and a brick wall is that a brick wall wouldn't be able to question your logic as i originally thought i knew what your argument was before and now you are talking about less people see it stuff which just makes it seem like you are talking about something completely different to what the argument was originally aimed at.

It might be better if you did talk to a brick wall, i doubt it would understand any better what you are getting at or if it actually makes any sense but like i said... it wouldn't question you

......... trust me.. im talking to a brick wall


my whole POINT of everything was the fact that the QS and Phoenix scenes had less buzz than scenes in DOFP. Those scenes were not nearly as widely talked about. this has been the very basis from the get-go

Then when questioned and apparently misunderstood (even though i repeated it multiple times) I explained WHY that probably was... (less people saw the film, less people were enthused with the film, etc)

like any thesis ... you say idea, and then explain why you believe that's so...

kapeesh? nothing i've said contradicts anything.

tbh if that was your argument all along i don't even know why you made a point of it in the first place

? ...because it's a forum where we are all allowed to talk? and some were acting like it was getting this massive praise when it was not.... at least not compared to its predecessor
