So does GAF love or hate First Class, because I saw it for the first time on FX a few weeks ago, and I thought it was interesting. Felt more like a drama and less of comic-y.

It's an hour too short and too awesome for it's own good.

This is going to be a train wreck with most of them being on the screen for 5 seconds.

It wasn't a train-wreck in any of the previous X-men films that Singer was involved in, don't see why it would be a problem here. The guy knows how to work with ensemble casts.

 

[Darth Pinche]

X-men 1 clapperboard. Cyclops confirmed

Nice catch. Also Jennifer Lawrence in hot pants? Yes please.

 

[Zen]

Wait for the uncut version. The theatrical version is kind of an editing mess.

Good to hear. I enjoyed The Wolverine, but there were problems with it that seemed to come down the editing and the like. It does feel like a true Wolverine film though. The best representation of the character thus far.

 

[Kak.efes]

Did the previous actress playing Mystique look a lot better, or am I remembering wrong?

 

[Simo]

 

[Prompto]

Link?

Its the very first one.
Plus this.
Basically there would have been no cure storyline, the phoenix would have been a godlike force that wrecked entire cities, Cyclops would have been a lot more prominent than he ever was, and they would have introduced the hellfire club. Sounds a lot better than what we got.

Bryan Singer's solution to fix X3 in our memories by not even acknowledging it in this movie. LOL

It's not like theyre completly ignoring it. Cyclops is dead, Ellen Page is playing Kitty, and Singer said they are going to address how the Proffesor is still alive after he died in X3. Hopefully by the end of it though the timeline is rebooted or whatever.

 

[Nokterian]

Looks pretty cool! And hugh did some massive work outs in those pictures and Jennifer Lawrence..hnngg.

Wow I had no idea...damn it

 

[angular graphics]

He is. He's directly said he'll be writing X3 and the first Wolvie movie out of continuity.

Absolutely not. In fact he said he considers both of those to be canonical.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/174689-bryan-singer-talks-x-men-days-of-future-past

After all of the casting announcements for the film, many have speculated that the film will not acknowledge the events of X-Men: The Last Stand or X-Men Origilns: Wolverine due to continuity issues, but Singer says every film in the series is being considered canon.

"I’m taking into account every movie – I’m not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I’m taking into account the entire universe as it’s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that. People took things in various directions, so there’s some clean-up. But ultimately I’m not just ignoring them either."

 

[RSTEIN]

I know it's old news, but I still get a kick out of seeing Wolvie towering over everybody.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Looking good, other than the fact that they seem to have the wrong Mystique.

X3 is better than x2.

No.

 

[ilMikhail]

wait .... Young Charles Xavier is walking again ?

 

[The Cowboy]

dat dinklage stache^

He looks totally boss, man can rock a stache or massive face scar like no other.

 

[sixteen-bit]

X3 is better than x2.

Crazy talk.

Even with that Juggernaut reference.

 

[Elchele]

X3 is better than x2.

Yes. X-men and X2 were shit.

X-men First Class was great.

 

[Dysun]

X3 is better than x2.

 

[Dereck]

Where the fuck is Halle

 

[glaurung]

Full plate Professor X and Magneto are freaky. I love it.

Bullet hole Wolverine is also epic.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am team Rebecca Romijn though.

 

[Bearthgar]

Movie Cyclops was laughably bad. I don't know if it was miscasting or writers trying to make Wolverine more badass, but it sucked.

 

[KibblesBits]

Where the fuck is Halle

Hopefully recast. Jeebus.

 

[PinkCrayon]

You are remembering correctly.

If you're talking about the makeup/effect then yeah, kinda. For this movie, Jennifer is wearing a bodysuit most of the time since it was faster than having to paint her blue and apply all those scales every single day.

Where the fuck is Halle

She's in it, there are set photos and she's even in that quick vine video from yesterday.

So basically he has the opportunity to address them directly in the movie, and then continue to the events after X2 as if X3 and XO:Wolverine never happened. Basically writing those events out ongoing continuity.

well hopefully that's what he does, and then X-4 is what X3 was supposed to be.
which also leads to X-Force and hopefully Deadpool.

I would also love a Multiple man movie/tv-show too if possible. He was criminally underused in X3.

 

[FireAndBlood]

Is the Professor standing?

 

[AnotherNils]

wait .... Young Charles Xavier is walking again ?

They better explain why old charles can't too

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Would square dance with.

Unless this film brings Jean Grey and Cyclops back to the world of the living, like it will do with Xavier actually, (and so far we haven't heard anything like that, but maybe it's a very well kept secret..) no matter how you see it he is not really writing X-3 out of continuity.

Anyway I expect future films, if any, to continue with/focus on the "young" cast. I don't think we'll see an X-4/focused on the "older" cast movie.

 

[-tetsuo-]

X3 is better than x2.

Your opinion is wrong.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Patrick Stewart is starting to show his age.

 

[Himynameischris]

Maybe he was in a wheelchair while doing physical therapy and something else happens that mobilizes him permanently?

 

[Scum]

X-men 1 clapperboard. Cyclops confirmed

Nicely spotted. So, it's Prof. X, Storm, Cyclops, Magneto, Mystique, Rogue(?) and Wolverine on there.

They better explain why old charles can't too

Different timeline will be the answer.

 

[Dereck]

WHY ARE THERE HOLES

They are speed holes, they make the Wolverine go faster.

So does GAF love or hate First Class, because I saw it for the first time on FX a few weeks ago, and I thought it was interesting. Felt more like a drama and less of comic-y.

Outside of that godawful Banshee and Angel fight scene (one of the worst things of all time), the movie was pretty sublime.

First Class is my favorite X-Men movie, mostly because i dislike how Wolverine overshadows everything in the trilogy.

lol, seriously. Imagine if Danzig had been Wolverine.

 

[Pau]

Can we retcon the fucking terrible Kitty/Rogue/Bobby love triangle?

*Looks at pictures* No? :C

 

[Lautaro]

How can they be all canon?

Mystique of X1/X2/X3 is nothing like First Class Mystique. And I'm not talking about physical traits but FC Mystique is attached to Xavier and X1/2/3 Mystique is not (tries to kill him in fact).

Or this is some sort of parallel world scenario?

Well there's a whole 40 year gap of them being enemies. Plus, she's clearly moved on to Erik by the end of FC.

Easiest answer: Because X1/X2/X3 were written way before the plot and relationships between First Class were ever considered. Just consider the movies loosely canon as the director seems to be doing.
