'Shindig'
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.
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.
Also appears that in the X-Men continuity they're not twins... and in Avengersverse they ARE, not to mention much younger.
I read something somewhere that said the girl Quicksilver is holding at the end is not Wanda, but his younger sister, and he and Wanda are twins.
In the comics, they're twins. They also have a paternal half-sister, Polaris.
That would make sense, Dana; I think she's credited as "Red Haired Girl."
Huh!
