I think he looks fine. Also that scene is amazing. Definitely should have been in the film.

Those "hands" and "feet" look really shithouse. The scene itself was fine though.

They had to delete that scene because it makes the viewer think Jubilee is going to be relevant

It's literally said in the intro that Mystique saving Nixon ushered in an era of mutant acceptance. I'm guessing watching a Blue skinned, red haired, yellow eyes shapeshifter on Live TV made everyone less goony about the way they look?
Mystique herself would say that only certain finite portions of the world have progressed, like Westchester where that mall is. Other areas are just as hateful of mutants as before, they simply hide it better on the surface.

It's one of the more interesting concepts of the movie, but unfortunately doesn't quite get that final step to being a cohesive (or relevant) theme amidst the unfocused motley that was the rest of the film..

Turns out I was wrong, the Sinister post-credit tease actually is to setup Old Man Logan.

quote:

Cinema Blend reports X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer let the detail about Sinister slip on the commentary track for the most recent X-Men picture. Specifically, the director mentioned the post-credit scene featuring a representative of the Essex Corporation obtaining a vial of Wolverine’s blood from the ruined Alkali Lake facility is a direct connection the third Wolverine film.

Essex, of course, refers to Nathaniel Essex, the civilian identity of Mr. Sinister. A 19th Century scientist obsessed with genetics — often the genetics of the Summers family — he made a pact with Apocalypse to become immortal.

Wolverine 3 is said to be set in the future and could see Sinister tracking down the Wolverine for one last experiment, as Sinister’s activities have taken him all over the mutant world. Cinema Blend also suggests he is the “mad scientist” character Richard E. Grant is playing in the film. Which, if true, is definitely a good bit of casting.

That mall scene must have been cut fairly early seeing as they didn't have finished effects for the Nightcrawler breakdancing scene.

But then she said she might want to come back for the next film. Probably because she's had a few films underperform and she's not the Hollywood darling anymore.

I was totally down for Sinister as the villain in the next X-Men film, the flashbacks to Scott's childhood with the orphanage could be so creepy and fun. Plus you can setup a Starjammers film. Fox doesn't need the rest of the Marvel Universe, with the X-Men and Fantastic Four license they could have several potential films and sequels. Oh well.

I haven't seen Apocalypse, but do they ever explain what changed the timeline so much that Scott, Jean, Storm, Angel and maybe others were born 20 years too early? Especially since we saw them at the end of DOFP.

Marvel should snatch up Tatum for a future movie. He's shown to be a decent actor with good comedic timing so he'd fit into the MCU.

I dunno, Adam Warlock?

It's not really that much earlier, just a couple of years. James Marsden was 11 in 1984.

It's completely inexplicable and makes no sense, we're just to assume the First Class timeline is incompatibly different for no particular reason.

I am offended by your ham, sir.
Scott, Jean, and Ororo being teenagers in the 80s isn't really a major change. The thing that's hard to swallow is Havok, who was probably in his early 20s in 1963, having vaguely middle-aged parents and a teenage brother 20 years later. That and everyone else who's apparently aged about 4 years in the last 20.

Maybe they're taking bizarre advantage of the actual comic's floating timeline where the ages of the characters as published in the 60's isn't 20 years different from those published in the 80's.

No, that doesn't make sense within the context of a self-contained time-spanning story. Better explanation is they decided to just not give a poo poo.

Every time you interact with Magneto his gravity well causes time dilation. It's why the movies end so quickly after the big end fight, it'd be too hard to explain the dilation in a couple minutes so they just show the undated future, which could be 7 years or 20 years, depending on perspective. The exception is Ian McKlellan Magneto as he is very old so he has less iron in his blood, and thus his field is not as strong.

I think the fact that the timeline is completely hosed if you think about it for longer than a second means the X-men movies might be the closest adaptation of any comic book series. The secret is to not think about it.

It could have been entirely avoided if they just didn't use Havok in First Class, though at the time I heard rumors Havok was supposed to be Cyke's father in the movieverse and that placated me well enough. Then Apocolypse comes round...

Maybe they're pulling a Smallville and Havok was Havok's older brother.

I doubt that this will ruin anyone's day, but just a heads up - The Blu-ray version of Cap 3 does NOT include the Thor short. The 3D Combo and iTunes versions comes with a code for the short.

Not a deal breaker, but for anyone wanting to show it off to your non-internet savvy friends/family, you may have to splurge for an extra couple bucks.
