You were so scary at night.

Is Holt McCallany one of the people talking throughout this trailer? Because it sounds weirdly like Chris Pine.

Absolutely awful streaming, I think I can count on one hand how many times I've gotten through a movie without it pausing to buffer and still have fingers left. I gave up on watching a movie today because it would literally pause to buffer every twenty seconds, and it would buffer for longer than the amount of content I was able to watch before the next buffer. For context, I can stream crisp video from every other service without any problem, it's just that Filmstruck seems to have built their infrastructure using popsicle sticks and glitter glue.

Is it me or is that trailer really badly mixed?



How could they not start and/or end this trailer with a through the door shot?
I assume the movie has at least one of those.

I think it actually this is the timeline he got sent back to in DOFP? Wait but is that also the Apocalypse timeline? In any event DOFP is the one that really ignored Xmen 3.

The dark timeline at the start has a living Professor X anyways, and he has a cameo at the end of The Wolverine.

Right that's what I'm saying--the Picard body is alive in DOFP even though it's destroyed in 3 and he's a disembodied consciousness or something. Also, The Wolverine doesn't match up with DOFP because Magneto and Xavier have teamed up and are recruiting Wolverine to do something in The Wolverine stinger--and then it's like 10 years later in DOFP and robots have taken over. So whatever mission they wanted him for failed or had nothing to do with the robots?

Actually maybe Logan is the neo-DOFP timeline? Because that reality didn't cease to exist it just morphed into a better one because Bolvar Trask didn't get Mystique's blood or whatever. I don't like that idea though--I wanted Wolverine to get a happy ending in one reality at least :(

They didn't start doing multiple X-Books until the 80's, and at least at the start the same guy was writing all of them so the logistics of the plot beats mostly worked at least, even though the content of them was loving bonkers at times.

The post-credits scene of X3 shows that Xavier transplanted himself into the body of a braindead person. I assumed he just makes everyone else see him as Patrick Stewart, since he can probably do that. And he's still crippled because that guy was braindead for a really long time.

Does anyone else think it's funny that everyone has the technology to make super advanced robots, but no one just fixed professor x's legs or gave him an exoskeleton or anything? Because "being in a wheelchair" is a core part of his character. Like, floating chair? No problem.

There's like 30 characters with highly advanced cyber-arms but if missing an arm is a core part of your character, you're outta luck dipshit.

Part of the beauty of Deadpool is that, in one throwaway gag, they make it explicit that they don't care about 'timelines' and neither should you.

Deadpool is an X-Men movie, bt-dubs. It's also the X-men movie which fixes all continuity issues.
