Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

Actually Xavier is the one who says that line. It's at the very end of the trailer.

 

Ah, I can't see that trailer atm. That's even more hilarious.

 

So this is set around 2030-2035? Is that the time as Old Man Logan?

 

That's a great trailer but I find it weird that in the beginning they essentially tell the audience that killing is wrong but it's OK to steal. Maybe in the movie he leaves money before taking that stuff but in the trailer it looks like he's stealing IMO.

 

Compared to murder stealing is okay?

 

It's not okay to kill someone who doesn't deserve it. The cashier was doing nothing wrong except trying to stop a shoplifter. It's a whole other matter when Logan kills as he only kills those who would do harm to others, see Stryker's men coming into the mansion or stabbing Mystique.

 

so is Syd Barrett in the comic books ?

 

Mr. Sinister won't be in the film after all despite Bryan Singer saying that the end of X-Men Apocalypse (this was an end credits scene if you don't know what I'm talking about) would tie to Logan by having him appear as now confirmed by James Mangold. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/x-me...ngold-explains-why-we-wont-see-mister-a148306

 

Haven't seen the trailer, gonna try to skip on it mostly because I was 200% sold on the first trailer, which is a freakin' work of art. Can't wait for the flick. Little weird to hear how the Sinister setup in X-M:A won't have any payoff but that'll probably pop up in a future X-flick.

As for X-Men and Legion continuity, now confirmed it's not set in the "main" X-Men movie universe. But I'm okay with the reasoning behind it.

“The cinematic universe will not worry about Legion. They will not worry about these TV worlds as all. They will just continue in the way that they have been continuing, and there is some great stuff that we are developing. I can just say it’s going to be new and different, and yet Legion and our other show, we’re not going to get in each other’s way..... With Legion, we’re our own universe. It gives Noah the freedom to do what he wants to do. Because we play with so many different timelines, and we rebooted and not really rebooted and all that, we felt like, OK, we’re going to throw it out there and hope the fans accept it.”

Noah Howley put out two fantastic seasons of Fargo so if he wants to do his own thing, I'm totally okay with that. But, hey, I'm personally going to take my own approach to Star Wars Legends or Star Trek expanded universe, it totally fits until it doesn't. so we'll have to see if Professor X pops up in Legion or if he doesn't.

 

It's probably for the best since it'd be the same thing with AOS and AC to the MCU films.

 

Er, I thought the subject of the "someone has come along" line was pretty clear from the get go.

Love this trailer, but I'm still cautiously optimistic about this movie. Deadpool's success notwithstanding, Fox's track record with this particular franchise has been rather spotty, and I'm being generous here.

 

Since Mr. Sinister won't appear in Logan, maybe we'll see him in an X-Men film that takes place before Logan. Maybe this X-Men: Supernova, perhaps?

 

I watched Origins for the first time.

Yep.

 

The director said it's 2029 in the film.

Also the x-men days of future past, when Logan resets the timeline, is in 2023-2024ish.

 

Both Mangold and Jackman are saying Logan is in a different universe, basically, kinda, mostly for the same reasons Legion is.

Mangold: "My goal was real simple: it was to pick a time where I had enough elbow room that I was clear of existing entanglements.
“Then, it’s impossible to do something fresh, meaning essentially you’re just a director on the 14th episode of a television show picking up where the last one left off and people are going to be really startled by any discontinuity or changes…
Jackman: “When you see the full movie you’ll understand…Not only is it different in terms of timeline and tone, it’s a slightly different universe. It’s actually a different paradigm and that will become clear. We wanted to make something really different. Definitely tonally different…Early on we had the idea for the title not having anything to do with Wolverine in it but just being about the man. And what the collateral damage of being Wolverine your entire life would be.”

Personally, if one wants to view this as a proper installment of the X-verse, yay.

Or maybe one of those Marvel "The End" issues which are never really in continuity but kinda can be viewed as The End if one chooses to.

Or, as Deadpool himself said: "McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines are so confusing!"

 

Don't worry about it. Sometimes, morbid curiosity can get the better of us.

 

Nah. Mangold said it takes place in 2029.

5 years after Days of Future Past.

 

Yeah, Fox doesn't let things like continuity get in the way of a screenplay. I really don't have a problem with Fox's Marvel continuity issues since it was planned out in the same way as the MCU from the get-go.

However, it's kind of disappointing in the sense that this X-23 in not set in the same universe as the Singer flicks. I was thinking this was some type of the proverbial "handing of the torch" from one Wolverine to another.

 

"this is a stupid idea and the movie is going to be terrible but we have to justify our overhead and so long as it adds to the overall flow of content and ancillary revenue stream without losing tens of millions of dollars, we might as well put it into production."

 

I think that's it's interesting the Jeph Loeb is part of the production team, considering he's part of Marvel Entertainment.

I would assume the "ordinary parents and their mutant children" will be original characters for the show. I would hope the underground network would be familiar X-Men like Bishop, Kitty Pryde or Rouge. Mutants who power set doesn't never a lot of special effects cost.

 

Way back in the long, long ago (like a year) I think Hellfire Club was a TV series in development so I'm assuming Hellfire Club or Morlocks or something. Set "over there" to whatever is happening in the X-verse movies proper. Of course, if we wanted to get timey-whiney about it, the only modern day X-verse post DOFP content out there is just Deadpool so there's a lot of room to swing in there.

Anyway, we're two weeks out for Legion, horray!! And then only about 3 weeks after that for Logan, also horray!
