X-Men: First Class Shows Off Its Cast in New Meet-and-Greet Trailers
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I never cared for comic books or the first three X-men movies, but I will see this movie because Matthew Vaughn is directing it.
That man can do no wrong. Just look at his freakin' resume.

As a layman with only an intuitive understanding of physics everything in the banshee trailer made me cry.baconsarnie said:
Where is Cyclops?

This looks pretty amazing tbh.
And as a reasonably large x-men fan I'm still ok with the slight continuity changes and different mix of characters.
and yes Havok is usually Cyclops brother but may not be here.... could still be a relation to him tho...maybe an uncle...
If there was a fault with Watchmen (not my opinion i still rate it as my 2nd favorite movie ever) it was that it hugged it's original text so hard that most shots were straight out of the comic. If they didn't take these changes then the purists who really know there law would know how everything is going to pan out before they've seen it.
I think as long as the characters are faithful who they mix with doesn't bother me

This looks great! (Which I say, staring at my shelf of X-Men paperbacks.)
Banshee has essentially lost his previous personality, so we'll have to see what they come up with. He never made any physics sense anyway.
Havok's goofy ring theme is a pretty good way to visually communicate his whole "emo Cyclops" vibe in more of a visual form, where Claremont would just throw up a big paragraph of text.
Beast is actually pretty close to the comics, although with less of a scientist vibe than an experimenting-with-drugs vibe, which fits the overall OMG ADOLESCENCE theme of the film so far.
Frankly, I'm just glad they are using actual interesting X-Men with at least one character trait, rather than plucking them from the forgettable '90s roster.

It looks pretty, but that's the nicest thing I'm going to say about this.
I'm honestly not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this Hank/Raven ship. It looks like they're trying to set up some kinda of hint that they're going to have Hank be Nightcrawler's father, despite the movie already having Nightcrawler's father in it. Then again, it could be a red herring. Eh.
I like how they're setting up Charles as this guy who's teaching these mutants to control their powers. What about him, though? He looks the same age as everyone else involved, did he just learn really fucking fast?
I hope they have some kind of event to knock Raven out of her "bubbly blonde" persona they're showing in this film and closer to her "badass assassin" persona in the other movies.
Is Hank supposed to be a politician or a scientist? Make up your fucking mind, Fox.
Anyone who is legitimately bitching about Charles having hair is a fucking tool.

The fake 'sciency' stuff doesn't bother me too muchAllonym said:
It's when they are totally wrong about simple stuff.
'Supersonic sound waves'
*rage*
Sound waves traveling faster than the speed of sound.
ffffuuuuuuu
*cry*
Wait isn't Banshee Irish? Also I remember that for beast anyway when he first joined the team he was originally a High School Football player, not some skinny stereotypical looking nerd.
I guess the problem with X-men films is the same as I feel as someone mildly interested in the universe wondering where to start with the walls of alternative realities, timelines and universes that the comic books offer.
I don't know if this will work. It all looks kinda lame, and with several stories to tell I can't see it going anywhere interesting, plot wise. I suppose I'll wait and see.
