Rhyno posted:COMING 2019 FROM MARVEL IT YOUNG MAGNETO Ripping a young Magneto straight out of the time stream right after the holocaust, combined with the general power upgrade the young X-Men got (Young Jean Grey is way more powerful than Jean Grey was until she got phoenix powers) would be loving hilarious.

That could easily serve as the "big bad" for a big crossover event. Alternatively, rip Magneto from the same time as the young X-Men, so he will technically be older than current Magneto, but also technically younger for maximum  .

Assuming they don’t reboot the whole thing after the next one they could say Apocalypse did something when he made him a horseman that slowed his aging. Also let’s them reuse Psylocke if they wanted.

Outside of multiverse shenanigans, those movies are done when mutants join the MCU. See also: Spider-Man.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, he had limited powers when he was in the concentration camp and Goebbels did some horrible poo poo to him that made him age super slow and now he's basically stopped aging at around 55 or whatever. That's definitely one way to do it, because yeah, it's very odd to decouple him from the WW2 origin, but it's hard to keep him going in modern stories if he ages like a regular person. Although it's kind of odd that as time goes on, he'd start to have a kinda James Howlett Man-Throughout-Time going on that he was never intended to have. Professor X can be born any time in history to keep him in his 60s during the present day, but when he's a 20-year-old meeting a 50-year-old Magneto (who looks 20), it's going to change the nature of their relationship a bit. Maybe X-Men stories twenty years from now will have them as master and pupil. Skwirl posted:Fox doesn't maintain Fox continuity, which I think is oddly appropriate. Y'know, you say this like a jab at them, but I've always kinda respected their approach to it. Marvel has this intricately-planned roadmap for how all their movies tie into one another and you hear horror stories about how the directors get frustrated having to force all their stories to fit the Marvel formula and shoe-in useless scenes at the expense of character development because they lead into the next movie, DC tried to do the same thing and failed spectacularly and just lost their Superman along with their Batman, and here comes Fox who just wants to make some fun movies about mutants and not worry about teasing together some big epic crossover. You'll get the main characters played by the same actors who are sorta kinda in the right places based on the last movie, and then go nuts, tell a good story and don't worry about what happened in the last six movies.

That absolutely wasn't supposed to be a jab at the Fox films, decoupling from continuity was the right move.

The X-Men movies only holding the loosest of continuity with only occasional callbacks to previous entries is the most X-Men approach possible and it’s worked out pretty well for them.

Gifted was pretty surprising in how good it was and it was unexpected they'd add the Cukoos in it. But all the promo materials before hand made it look terrible. They're going with that again, as the 2 promos they released for the sides, the Hellfire Club and Mutant Underground, both look super crummy. I half expect this season to have X-23, Hope/Rachael Summers or some other alt version/relation of a known X-men.

It's not so much a strategy for director freedom as it is scrambling every time one does badly though.

Shifting the entire focus away from the busted house full of mutants was a good plan. The actress playing the Cuckoos is pretty great and their plot is infinitely more interesting than Vampire Bill's family.

Initial story: Xorn was actually Magneto in disguise hopped up on goofballs and is killed by Wolverine. Story after Morrison stops working for Marvel: Xorn(1) is actually Chinese mutant Xorn pretending to be Magneto hopped up on goofballs in disguise as Xorn and was killed by Wolverine. Xorn(2) is Xorn(1)'s twin brother Xorn who is nice and dies helping the X-Men. Xorn(3) (Lady Xorn) is Jean Grey from the past from the future. There's also an Age of Apocalypse Xorn who is Husk. EASY! Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Sep 13, 2018 |

The universe had been remade between though, so you know how it goes. Franklin hadn't been up to date on X-Men canon, brought a few wrong guys back.

I like how the current X-Men movies do a roughly 10 year time skip every sequel with nobody aging.

Aphrodite posted:You forgot The Collective. So did everyone else at Marvel. Basically, Bendis completely ignored the Xorn twins and wrote Xorn as some sort of formless evil entity that impersonated Magneto for unrevealed reasons. This was almost immediately retconned away by editorial as merely being one of the Xorn twins somehow in control of the Collective, and I dunno if it's been referenced since. I'm guessing not.

LOL. This is the exact problem the Defenders had. You have to put all the characters in costume or none of them. Having three people in street clothes with one guy in superhero tactical gear looks ridiculous. All of them having brightly died hair except Robin just makes him stand out more. He looks like a character from a different show got lost trying to find the set.

Everything about Titans looks awful but can we start bets on how bad it will actually be? I feel like it can't be worse than Inhumans but it won't be any better than... let's go with Agents of SHIELD season 1.
