Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

Short-short version:

Scenario #1: Time travel used to undo previous movies we've seen as a means of rebooting from a cleaner slate.

Scenario #2: Time travel used to undo events within the same movie that we haven't really seen, as a means of continuing the existing movies.

I haven't done a rewatch of the films in a long time so I haven't put a specific list together yet but the XMOW intro, Stryker mission intro w/Wade & Creed, Alkaline Lake/Adamantium sequence would be key, the Cyclops origin (probably from Apocalypse I stead of XMOW), maybe parts of the Jean origin from X3 (to show Xavier & Erik reconciling). That's what mostly comes to mind.

 

IDK, I kinda prefer not knowing WTF is going on at all.

 

News round-up:

-No stinger for Logan.

-LoLo a No-Go for Pool-Pool.

-Simon Kinberg may direct the next X-Men movie.

-Joe Carnahan will be writing the X-Force movie. (**** YEAH!!!)

 

I haven't watched this weeks episode yet but I don't think there's much you need to know- it's just supposed to be a trippy show. There are a couple things here or there that might be comic references but for the most part it, as of the first two episodes, is mostly its own thing (possible Mojo notwithstanding).

EDIT- After watching the third episode I think it's starting to become clear that the series is, for now, not about a crazy mutant or a mutant figuring out he's not crazy but rather

Spoiler

everyone else figuring out/discovering that they were wrong to assume it was either of those options in the first place but rather a new third option: all of the different personas inside his mind (that crowd surrounding him at the end) and, perhaps, where they came from (I think the Angry Boy story is meant to infer these personalities might be people from the town that was symbolically burned down).

 

PatStew to bid adieu in Logan too

 

Well I mean yeah, he's ****ing 90.

 

More Kinberg updates.

Kinberg isn’t yet a lock for directing Supernova:

“We can’t confirm what the next movie will be, but I can talk a little about, frankly, what I would do differently if I were to make X-Men: The Last Stand again, which had the Dark Phoenix storyline.
I think the big mistake we made with that movie – and if anybody is to blame for it it’s the writer, and I was one of them – it’s that we made the Dark Phoenix the subplot of that film, instead of making it the main plot.
The Dark Phoenix story is the biggest, and in many ways the most epic, saga of the X-Men comics, so you can’t make that the B-plot of the movie. If we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to re-tell that story – and certainly, what we did with the end of Days of Future Past gave us the opportunity to re-tell it – I think we all would want to give it the justice and the space to breath that it deserves.”

-New Mutants still targeting a late spring start date.
-Gambit still aiming to begin shooting early next year.

“Channing [Tatum] is as determined about getting the character right as Ryan Reynolds was about Deadpool and Hugh [Jackman] was about this Logan movie. We know that when we get those right, the movie succeeds so we want to make sure we get Gambit right because we want him to be the beginning of a whole new franchise.”

-Deadpool 2 aiming for release next year.

-Other X-Spinoffs in consideration:

“We have a sense of where each of all of the existing characters go from Deadpool to New Mutants to the mainland X-Men movies to potentially even X-23. Then, there’s other characters, like X-Flight, like Exiles… There’s a lot of characters to mine going forward. We’re still sort of in this phase where now we’ve completed the Wolverine story with Logan and we begin hopefully with New Mutants and eventually Gambit and continue with Deadpool.”

 

Lenny is Aubrey Plaza's character (the character was apparently intended to be a middle aged man and then they decided to cast Plaza without changing the scripts).
