Faith ,'Get It Done'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Well, they could have done a future-future and then present storyline to get around the age issue, but then they couldn't have linked casts. And of course, they wouldn't have been able to potentially reboot their universe with that method.
Of course they could have gone with straight up physical time-travel and kept Kitty as well.
But Wolverine is the face of the franchise.
X:Men, non-spoilery silliness. When we first see James McAvoy, I couldn't figure out who he was reminding me of, then I got it- Lieutenant Dan! Even before the return to the wheelchair. Never would have said that McAvoy & Sinise resembled one another, but I guess something about the long hair, blue eyes, and bad attitude...
Hah, Epic. I had a similar feeling but didn't have the ah-ha until I read your post. I agree.
Along those lines, when I saw the trailer for Kingsmen: The Secret Service in front of DoFP yesterday, it took me a few seconds to make the connection to Men in Black and realize why I was getting such a strong sense of deja vu.
Also true, Matt!
I saw X-Men: DoFP yesterday. It was fun, but I do have one question. (Spoilers for X-Men and Captain America: TWS) I could have sworn that the X-Men and Avengers movies weren't supposed to mix. But we had a post-credits scene with Quicksilver in Captain America 2, and then we had Quicksilver in the latest X-Men. Is he getting time-shared or something? Or am I confusing two similar characters?
Anyway, I thought Ellen Page made a good Kitty Pryde.
Calli, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are shared by Fox and Marvel. The movieverse versions will be different characters.
Like PC said, the characters exist in a legal state where they belong to both the X- men and the Avengers. However, the fact they are Magneto's kids and mutants can't be referred to in Avengers because both terms belong to Fox.
Yep, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are both Mutants (and later retconned to be Magneto’s kids), so they’re part of the X-Men franchise; however, they both were regulars in the Avengers comics, so they’re part of the Avengers franchise.
Ok, time share. Works for me--thanks.
