So this scene from X-Men Apocslypse stands out as particularly dumb.

[Uzumaki Goku]

Basically while Magneto is presumably killing millions of people. (Seriously, what the hell?) Quicksilver approaches Magneto and you'd think this is where he's going to tell Magneto that he's his son... but he doesn't do this at all and it's like why?

also I love how Angel in his twenties in 1983 even though The Last Stand had him as a teenager in I think 2006, but what's continuity?

 

[Slayven]

They don't give a fuck, like killing a dude who's superpower is not to die.

 

[Punchline]

i think i need more context because i dont know why he would be motivated to tell magneto that he's his son while he's killing millions of people. seems like a bad time to me.

[Forgotten_Taco]

Do not even try to make sense of the X-Men movie continuity.

or killing a dude who absorbs energy through means which involve energy being applied

A dude who in the comics was once touched by a God of Death and adapted by... Becoming a God of Death.

I really expected him to show up at the end and save everyone or the next movie and save everyone... That would have been dope.

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

You both posted the same thing?

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

I love how Beast and Mystique don't look like mutants for most of the movie... so their actors wouldn't have to wear make up. So much for mutant and proud

 

[deimosmasque]

Lol. I mean it is the scene I was talking about so it makes sense.

Uppity negro powers.

Think about it he adapts to survive, but majority of time he is around white people in comics and he is albino. Think about it

I fully expected this to be a link to the full movie.

 

[OmniGamer]

My head canon is that Darwin's power nope'd him out of the doomed FOX universe and into the MCU

look guys... I know Darwin's death was bullshit but this isn't what my OP was about

 

[Ruisu]

Yup.

At this point, why even bother with the "genetic mutation" premise of the powers?

The FOX X-Men movies are more trash than not, so not much meat on the bone to chew on, sorry...not sure what all can be said. There were loud audible groans in my theater during that scene for obvious reasons....it made all the sense in the world to just tell him at that moment.

 

[buttzilla]

"What are you doing"

*touching tv*

"Leeeeeaaaaarniiiiiiinnnnnnngggg"

OFF

 

[Heynongman!]

Click to shrink...

To be fair, days of future past reset the continuity and Angel may very well have been a different person in this new continuity. I mean, the core group are in their late teens/early 20s in Apoc and then also in their late twenties in OG continuity that starts 17 years later. By no means am I defending this trash heap though

 

[MisterHero]

He turned into energy but never came back

And Quicksilver's mom getting with Magneto could've (should've) been its own story, as he had a family in Apocalypse.

It's just thrown in there lol

I'm just glad Marvel has the license back. Give us the goods.

I think I'm one of the very few people who really liked this movie.

I was so let down, I got so excited when I saw the post-credits scene in Days of Future Past and thought the franchise was in a good place after First Class and DoFP but nope, such a terrible movie

 

[Officer Big Mac]

yeah, how did that work?

Click to shrink...

It's best not to ask such questions of these movies. Especially comic book movies

 

[jiggle]

Why didn't blink just teleport everyone away.

The title could have been:

So X-Men Apocslypse stands out as particularly dumb.

 

[CanUKlehead]

I can usually just shut off my brain and enjoy films or TV shows for what they are, but even I had a repulsed reaction to this film. Can't believe they did Apocalypse dirty like that.

He's not coming in the MCU for like 20 years, is he? Fuck.

 

[Crashman]

Yup.

So I'll buy that Darwin needs to evolve into a death god to survive contact from a death god, but why did he evolve that costume?

 

[Vinx]

The First Class series is completely disconnected from the other X-Men movies.

The Wolverine series is connected to the original X-Men trilogy and makes references to them.
