Oh trying to tie the two together was always going to be a pain- that first Wolverine film took place post-Vietnam War had teenage Emma Frost, then First Class had adult Emma Frost during the Cuban Missile Crisis. And hang on- the Deadpool movie is going to take place in the same timeline as the X-Men movies... Have they said anything about the setting? Apocalypse is set in the 80's, so unless Deadpool is also set then it's going to be a pretty massive continuity headache...Zontar said:To be honest, if there's one thing I didn't like about First Class it was the fact it shouldn't have been part of the timeline as the rest of the movies in the first place, since the first X-Men movie implied that Mutants came into the public eye in the 90s and that it was only after the government started talking about what to do about the issue that Erik started taking up arms. Having it all start in the 60s and the public knowing about it in the 70s doesn't really gel that well with the other movies, though I guess it's a moot point since they've all been retconed out of existence.Starik20X6 said:And I think the reason Future Charles and Erik wanted Past Erik out of prison and with Past Charles was so Past Charles could also try altering Erik's course away from them fighting their whole lives. Of course, doesn't change the fact that they could have just done this instead [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT6YOI6JcRs&spfreload=10].
Starik20X6 said:Have to say I really enjoyed both versions. DoFP's was a really cool part of the movie, while AoU had a proper and satisfying arc.Of course, I have to wonder if them killing off Quicksilver in AoU was their way of getting back at Fox for refusing to give up the rights to X-Men, particularly after the way Fox flipped them off by adding Quicksilver to their own movie...
I was under the impression it was for another reason.Johnny Novgorod said:It was their way of dealing with the fact the actor refused to sign up for more movies.
