X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Final Trailer

Overthinking it? I think this is the first time ive ever been accused of overthinking something, but yeah you are probably right, its just that one of the things i loved about the X-Men comics (I havnt really followed comics much since Punisher turned black) was the relationships between the various characters, something that the movies, other than the love triangle between Jean, Scott, and Wolvie, managed to screw up. It shoulda been Shadowcat hangin with Logan, not Rogue, or at the very least Jubilee, Rogue shoulda been with Gambit, since its unlikely shed fall for Magneto after he tried to kill her and everything, no back story with Lady Deathstrike and Wolvie, I could go on and on, my point is introducing Cable as a future Wolverine or whatever, in my opinion, would be a stupid idea. I understand its just hollywood, and of course theyre gonna change stuff up, but still, Iceman was an orginal X-Man, and now hes a New Mutant? WTF!!!?

My wife really hates seeing these movies with me, cause through the whole movie im like come one thats not what happened! Anyways, when we saw the last Wolverine movie i kept my mouth shut through the whole movie, trying to be polite, yaknow? She turns to me at the end and says, "Well?!" lol. I think she secretly likes hearing me bitch about those movies.
Yeah... if you walk into a Marvel superhero movie and expect it to be a reflection of 616 you're doing it wrong.

Are you telling me that you dont cringe at things like adamantium bullets, or this guy just needs to heat his sword up then he can cut through Wolverine's claws.

Adamantium is completely indestructible, they cannot harm each other,same reason why a diamond can't scratch another diamond, so their wouldn't be any scratches or mark on it on it. Also the bullet doesn't impeded itself into wolverine's flesh but BOUNCE OFF his skull. But the force of having a indestructible bullet hitting his skull was enough to liquefy his brain so when his brain heals itself, all the neural/synapse connection that hold his memory got reset.

As for the adamantium bullets themselves..they were used on Hulk during the World War Hulk arc....

Im not bitching about adamantium bullets themselves, but wolvie getting shot with one which magically wipes his memory, im not buying the liquifing his brain part, its adamantium, that should of protected his brain, then theres also the layer of bone and stuff besides the adamantim, it would of made more sense if dude shot him in the eye, then they coulda gone with the Patch thing, but whatever, its just a movie, I get that, doesnt mean im not going to bitch about it lol.

Gah! and why is spell checker telling me that im spelling adamantium wrong!?

Sure.

I laughed at the first. Haven't seen the Wolverine so I can't speak to my reaction to that.

But either way, that's a very different complaint from your earlier one. The problem you were speaking to earlier was how the movie continuity ignores large parts of what you consider essential relationships and background from the 616 universe. Your issue with adamantium is the movies violating their own canon, or at least what you assume is their canon. I might have to re-watch the movies to see if they actually say, in-story, how indestructible adamantium is supposed to be in the movie universe.

Gah! and why is spell checker telling me that im spelling adamantium wrong!?
Because it's not a real word.

Anyway, my point is that going into the movies expecting them to be the comics is setting yourself up for failure. So unless that's what you get off on†, I suggest you accept that they are movies inspired by your favorite comics, but not a direct rendition. I also encourage you to broaden your knowledge of the Marvel Universe. Rogue has dated/flirted with way more men then Gambit including both Ice Man and Magneto (who she has had kids with in multiple universes).

†I notice you seem to watch them all even as you know that you'll be disappointed. It might make one wonder at your motives.
 

Im not expecting them to be exactly like the comics, I understand that theyre gonna change stuff up, my problem is that the things they change dont really make any sense, it just seems like they changed it, just to change it, it wasnt like they was like hey, wouldnt it be more interesting if we hook so and so up with whoever, it just seems like, to me, they just changed up stuff just for the sole purpose of changing it, i have the same problem with the new Star Trek movies, did it really help the plot any that Spocks mom died, and Vulcan imploded? no not really. Does it help the story any that Jean wasnt possessed by a cosmic entity and it just turns out that shes really a bitch and a slut? No, not really. And regardless of the changes, I did enjoy the first one, the second one had potential, but it really seemed more like just a set up for the 3rd one, i hated the 3rd one cause they seemed to drop the ball on all the set up they was doing from the second one. First class was alright, even though, again they dropped the ball, like Magneto and Prof X was supposed to build cerebro together, nope turns out the government did, so yeah, when they mess up their own "movie" continuity, yeah it bugs me, and that scene from X3 where Prof X and Magneto meet Jean as a little girl, after watching first class it doesnt make much sense why Charles would associate at all with Magneto anymore, it seemed pretty definite that sides had been chosen, so that scene from X3 just doesnt make much sense to me, So im hopin that Days of Future Past (the movie) might explain some of that, and it looks pretty kick ass, so yeah, I'll probably see it, but Im not looking foward to be let down, I really do try to go into these things with an open mind, i really do.

And yeah, I realize Rogue has had other love interests other than Gambit, thats why I brought up Magneto, but Gambit and Rogue is the one that really stands out, in my mind anyways.

I like to think of Professor Xavier as an abused wife who gets beat to hell, but she still goes back to her abusive husband. Even in the comics they work together, break up, and then get back together. Professor X likes the abuse.

heehee, yeah you bring up a good point, but in the comics it wasnt Magneto that crippled him, so I think its easier to forgive him in the comics, could you see Prof X pallin around with Lucifer?

Who was it that paralyzed Professor X in the comics? Is he paralyzed again? In any case, Xavier goes from one abuser to the next.
