X-Men: Days of Future Past

You seem really invested in this argument.

 

Exactly.

No, you have the wrong idea buddy - the reason I said that is because you said, "fell far short of the awesome storytelling that TDK was able to deliver"

It's just something to think about. Plus you started throwing down hammers first not me.

 

Hammers? Now I know you have something invested in this argument. Please explain to me exactly what hammers I have thrown down in an argument about comic book movies?

 

This is why days of future past sucked. Fucking 90% talking.

 

I just quoted it in my previous post.

 

The future fights were pretty awesome and had some brutal deaths. I would have preferred a little bit more action but I really liked it especially after X men 3

 

That scene was cool and quicksilver's scene was great. I was hoping/expecting the rest of the movie to be like that but it was endless dialogue for the most part.

 

U mad

 

There were some weird holes in the plot. Why did they "need" to release Magneto?

Why wouldn't they just get the really fast guy to help instead, have him save Peter Dinklage and take the blue girl away, lock her up, and avoid all the drama with Magneto trying to destroy humanity?

Also, the JFK stuff was groan-worthy and stupid.

Also, Wolverine being immortal is kind of a disinteresting element. It's like Superman- nothing can hurt him at all, so how can he be exciting if he can't lose/die? You have to hang that suspense of "oh no, he could lose" but if he's invincible, that drama never exists. That's why Batman > other superheroes, he's just an eccentric crime-fighting billionaire, who could die, but he doesn't- because Batman Stuff.

 

He's not immortal in the comics, although his healing factor keeps him alive and makes him age slow. He actually dies in the original Days of Future Past storyline (in the alternate future); he's disintegrated by a Sentinel and all that's left is his adamantium skeleton.

But he's the most popular character in the movies, so they're not going to do something like that.

 

Now- that would have been completely badass to have seen in the movie. I guess you're right that they didn't want a Wolverine death scene, period, but they absolutely should've put that in the movie. It's just the alternate future, after all and it ends up not happening.

I think they just needed to do a better job of making Wolverine not seem like a "Flightless Superman with Claws" in the movie. It wasn't a crippling problem, but it would've helped a lot.

I watched the 1990s cartoons, but I only remember the basic personalities and powers of the heroes. I should probably netflix some of the earlier movies at least.

 

You gotta admit it... Phoenix made quite the entrance didn't she...Not sure what to make of the Wolverine cameo though..

 

X-2 the best X-Men movie and it's not even close.
