Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

Well, the idea is clearly that she looks like herself, just with regular skin, when she looks like Jennifer Lawrence, but I see your point. The heavy make-up required for the role sort of obscures the underlying actor anyhow, so one could easily recast.

The wild card, I guess, is McAvoy and Fassbender. It's unclear how much longer they're willing to play the roles. What were their initial contracts, anyway? Three movies?

 

Yes, it was for three movies. But as early as 2015, there was indications that after the contracts expired, there was a possibility that they'd come back for more depending on how they felt.

There was talk from all three that they were opening to returning. Having some time in between film has certainly helped. In Berry's case, she did four comic book films back to back and two of them were not so good. So I could definitely understand her frustration.

The beauty of the X-universe is that in the comics, the teams are always shuffling around. The founding members became X-Factor, Storm had her own team, etc. If the studio was interested and the actors willing, they could go along those same lines. As to Logan, I think they'll let the character cool off for a bit. Give him some distance between Jackman and the next actor.

 

And have a good film to go along with it.

 

I just got Wolverine on Blue-ray for $8.00 I am starting to compile all my digital downloads on Vudu so far I have Star Wars TFA, Moana, and Wolverine all on Vudu so I can now watch on multiple platforms such as on my Xbox and Laptop!!!!!!!! I have over a hundred movies on Blu-ray so I have some work to do!

 

Well, I was joking in the sense that there was no such plan. But I'm not joking in that I would genuinely want to see that movie. Of all the new cast, I really enjoyed Young Storm quite a bit, even though the script didn't give her much to do. They hinted at an interesting story for her, and lots of good character traits. I would love to see that explored in greater length. What you wrote above, for instance, is really thrilling.

 

My favorite X-Men films and my personal grades:


1) Days of Future Past and Logan (97.2 and 98)

2) X2 and First Class (95 and 92.2)

3) The Wolverine (91.2)

4) X1 and Apocalypse (85.2 and 83)

5) Deadpool (77)

6) The Last Stand (54.2)

7) Wolverine: Origins (26.2)

 

Legion continues to be insane, just when I think the next episode can't be crazier than the last, it does exactly that and then some.

 

Saw Logan. It was good but, idk, I felt like it was missing a polished touch. So many unexplained things for people who didn't read the comic, even if hints of explanations are briefly mentioned as background noise.

In the context of the overall film series, it's a sad tale for sure. You don't often see the life of heroes past their prime, eroded by time and the trials that made them heroes. In that context, it was good, if mostly bitter than sweet.

 

I watch Legion when I get back from the pub on Thursdays , don't have a clue what happened so I watch it sober again the next day - still have no idea .

 

Legion has been renewed for a second season.

Vudu works great and you don't have to pay if you don't want to plus I can watch on my Sony Blu-ray player or on my Xbox!!! I don't pay for Vudu, just for the Blu-ray!!!
also my Xbox is hooked up to a really nice TV, 42 Inch LG HD TV !!! and my Sony Blu-ray player is hooked up to a nice HD TV!

 

saw logan.good, but i don't know. i felt like i liked it less as it got closer to the end.

Spoiler

i was hoping when they went to the farmhouse the family wouldn't get killed. predictable. also, clone Wolverine: i'm kind of tired of clones. still not sure about the timeline and how this alkali group is still running around 50 years after they did had logan

 

when you look for plot holes your gonna find them my advice don't worry about plot holes all movies have them, just enjoy the movies ...

 

nah i didn't think of it so much as plot holes i was thinking more are they government backed or which government or just doing it on their own.

 

The Oh! You Pretty Things cover from Legion episode 6:


And Aubrey Plaza is really shining in this series. Loved her playing therapist, nice contrast between that and her psyche-ward inmate performance.

 

Critical thinking. Trust me, it's good for the soul. Also, punctuation! Great for the eyes.

 

I thought episode 6 of Legion was a let down to the awesomeness that was episode 5, as episode 6 delved right back into the different characters' situations and thoughts while episode 5 was action heavy and moved the narrative forward. There's a 30-second promo - available to view via i09 -that features a conversation between Cary Loudermilk (Bill Irwin) and Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement). “I’ve been watching this David person and his monster,” says Oliver. “You know what it is — or should I say who?” Cary replies:

Spoiler

“Amahl Farouk, the Shadow King."

Which is not a surprise to me as it's who I suspected from the start.

 

Episode 6 was not a let down at all for me.



Shadow King dance sequence!

 

I'm having trouble comprehending these headlines about Legion I keep reading. Apparently people don't know what's going on? I feel like the show's pretty easy to follow, it's just a different sort of story.

 

No, not at all.

 

Ah, this again?
