Yeah Alex I guess I should have done that, also let's not forget Sinister is obsessed with unique mutant DNA, and yes they didn't know it doesn't surprise me besides Magneto the other Horsemen acted like silent footsoldiers. Even Magneto stole the show from Apocalypse, also let's not forget when

Yes, it would be interesting if Sinister wanted to create X-23/Laura Kinney AND Cable/Nathan Summers. And I also agree that the Horsemen really weren't given much to do, which is a shame considering that they're all supposed to be major characters. I don't think that the Angel in the movie was Warren Worthington III because I don't know what the rich kid would be doing fighting in cage matches in Europe. So perhaps we'll see Warren again later on. But Storm and Psylocke's portrayals were unforgivably weak, and Magneto's storyline was much better in Days of Future Past. Oh, and as for what you said about Quicksilver, I'm actually glad they did that. Many people used to ridicule Quicksilver and The Flash along with other speedsters because they didn't know why running fast was so special. But as we know, superhuman speed can do a lot of damage, and can allow a person to do a lot of cool stuff like running on water, running up buildings, outrunning bullets, moving so fast you can nearly stop time or pass through solid objects - or in Barry Allen's case, time travel and cross dimensions. But another aspect of superhuman speed is increased force and power when it comes to striking an opponent. The creator of Taekwondo, Choi Hong Hi, placed emphasis on speed and power in his Theory of Power: Quote:
And thanks for the info about the Flash movie! I knew that they lost the previous director, but I've never heard of this new guy. __________________

Yep it would, also what if Cable acts like a father figure towards Laura, and if Domino is in X-Force then I could see her being a mother figure towards Laura. I think that was Warren it wouldn't surprise me if they changed his backstory, since TLS already did the rich boy backstory, and I liked Magneto's storyline in Apocalypse it proved my theory that Erik/Magneto is the Anakin/Vader in the series. Oh on Superhero Hype they're having a favorite movie character poll in the X-Men forums McAvoy/Fassbender is tied with 16 votes, also Mckellan/Tye is tied with 11 votes, and after them Stewart/Evan has 10 votes. Plus Jackman has 9 votes that's right Tyeclops has more votes than Jackman's Wolverine! The only ones ahead of him is McAvoy/Fassbender which is fine, seriously he even has more votes than the OT cast, and he's tied with sir Ian Mckellan! EDIT Guys Ali has passed away.

OHHH, LAAAAAAUUUREEEEEEENNNNN????????? Are you gonna answer any of these posts? You're falling way behind.
Okay, here's an article that really hits the nail on the head when it comes to everything that's wrong with the CW/DC superhero shows: CheatSheet - ‘Flash’ and Friends: How CW’s Superhero Shows Lost Their Way
Spoiler:
Hi, dragonfire! I'm sorry I wasn't here last night. I had a bad headache and wasn't feeling well, so I went to bed early. And yes, I heard about Muhammed Ali. I knew he wasn't doing well when I heard reports earlier this week that his health was bad and that he'd been admitted to a hospital, so I had a bad feeling that something was wrong. It's terribly tragic. R.I.P. to the greatest of all time. I still don't believe that the Angel we saw in Apocalypse was Warren, because I don't believe they'd just kill him off like that without him ever being in the X-Men. I don't care if they already did the "rich boy" thing in TLS, that movie was horrible, and you could say that they already did the Scott/Jean/Phoenix thing as well in the first three films, but they did it again in Apocalypse, right? I say give Warren his due. Oh, and I didn't say that Magneto's storyline in Apocalypse was bad, just that his story in DOFP was better. They basically just had Erik's wife and daughter killed and him reverting back to Magneto, and they didn't even explore his relationship with Quicksilver. I guess we'll have to wait for the next film for that. That's an interesting idea about X-Force, but again, I don't like the idea of them being so far in the future and removed from the X-Men. It would seem consistent with Fox's whole thing with spreading the story out across several decades, but that strategy has also created a lot of continuity flaws that I really don't like. I'd still prefer a total reboot of the X-Men movies, but I guess we'll have to wait until Singer and everyone attached to these films finally leaves. And OMG, Tye/Cyclops got that many votes? That's awesome! And I guess Hugh/Wolverine is kind of wearing thin on newer audiences. Wait, where is Sophie/Jean in all this? And I can't believe that Evan/Quicksilver is down by so much. Speaking of which, I must say that what Fox did with Quicksilver is one of the few changes to the source material that I actually like. Quicksilver in the comics is kind of an annoying ass, stealing Johnny Storm's girlfriend, Crystal of the Inhumans(which I hated, because I loved Johnny/Crystal in Fantastic Four), marrying Crystal and having a kid with her, only to leave her a divorced single mom. She and Johnny tried to reconcile, but things didn't work out. And then there's Pietro's "questionable" relationship with his sister, Wanda. His inappropriate closeness with her was only implied in the main Marvel universe(and never acted upon because I think Wanda would've knocked him on his ass if he tried it ), but the Ultimates clearly showed they were in an incestuous relationship, which is one of the many reasons I loathed the Ultimates. It was just a horrible comic book universe filled with dysfunctional, unlikeable, and neurotic superheroes. I'm glad they finally got rid of it. I think Joss Whedon's Quicksilver in Age of Ultron was totally wasted, and was clearly more influenced by the Marvel Quicksilver. But Bryan Singer's Quicksilver is a totally relatable, lovable loser who plays video games, lives in his mom's basement, and is phenomenally portrayed by Evan Peters. He's a Quicksilver you can actually like, which is a miracle. __________________

I agree about Quicksilver to be honest I'm getting burn out on Avengers movie. Ok Alex here's a update on the votes Fassbender is leading with 25 votes, next McAvoy has 24 votes, and Evan has 19 votes while Tye/Stewart is tied with 16 votes. Oh earlier I was watching Jurassic Park such a marvelous movie. EDIT ok I found this thing on C/Net its called ranking the mutants in Apocalypse. Scott got ranked 6th place, while Jean got ranked 5th place, oh I liked what they said about Scott/Jean.

I'm glad we agree about Quicksilver, dragonfire. I think Marvel squandered a great opportunity to have a speedster in the MCU. Oh, and did you hear that Marvel got the rights back to Namor, the Sub-Mariner?
Awww, Tye is tied with Stewart now? So where is Sophie? Oh, and thanks for telling me about C/Net. I saw their ranking, although I think that they put Storm way too high. She shouldn't have been above Cyclops. But I did like that Scott and Jean were in the top six. I wasn't surprised that Quicksilver was in first place. I was surprised how high Psylocke ranked. I saw Jurassic Park, but I thought the book was way better. The movie kind of disappointed me to be honest, because I was hoping it would be much closer to the novel. The novel was like Westworld meets The Andromeda Strain, and it was one of Michael Crichton's best stories. I think Spielberg really doesn't do the techno-thriller stuff all that well. Michel Crichton isn't a crowd pleasing storytelling for kids. He does dead-serious sci-fi thrillers, and Jurassic Park was way smarter(and more violent) in the novel. The movie practically changed everything, and it cut out the most exciting part, when Dr. Grant had to face off against three velociraptors armed with nothing but a syringe of drain cleaner and a couple of dinosaur eggs. He had to trick them into eating the eggs after injecting them with the syringe. And there was a lot of stuff that got cut out of the movie that made the story make more sense. The movie was more like a kiddie ride. And they also reversed the two kids: in the book, the boy was the older one and he was the computer expert as well as the dinosaur expert. His little sister was the cute, younger one, and she actually got along really well with the baby dinosaurs. __________________

The Cheat Sheet & Mary Sue articles have said pretty much what we've been saying! Sorry I've been away, I had early shifts this week & have been groggy from allergy medicine. The Titians TV series on TNT has apparently been killed in favor of another movie...which is the probable reason Arrow can't use Deathstroke!
Alex, Thanks for 'defending' me. Although you have made statements lately that make me think you are older than I thought you were, I in all probability am older than you."Oldrguy" (leaving out the "e" to look like a "handle". It's just what people did back then.) I chose as a user name because when I started posting...gosh 9 years ago...I determined that was overwhelmingly 1. Female (not completely this board even had a male Mod back then) maybe a 3 or 4 to 1 margin & 2. Young. I'm talking teenagers & women in their early to mid 20's! (Again exceptions.) I selected the name to let people know they were getting a different perspective. When people started asking me my age I was reluctant to give it--still am--because I felt (still do) that I might be deemed "un-relatable" if they knew how much of a difference. It's a bit of a sticking point,some people think I'm young, some have thought I'm older than I am...Jasmine once wondered that because I referenced Boris Karloff, really movies from before you or even your parents or grand parents were born are some of the best ever made people!...I even had one person who-must-not-be-named accuse me of being a predator! (That wasn't fun!) I used to admit to "middle age" but since the last time it came up was 7 or 8 years ago...I probably can't really claim that anymore. I guess it depends on how you define it, if by middle you mean close to twice the age you are now at the end...well...while possible...it isn't-very-likely! |

Hi, Evan! It's okay, I've been sick and had to be away from FF before, so don't worry. It's a better excuse than Lauren has lately.
Aww, man! WB and DC are really being a pain when it comes to what characters they'll allow on TV. Now they've killed off Titans? This is just WB and DC paying the price for falling behind Marvel and now they're playing catch up. And Arrow can't use Deathstroke anymore? WTF? That's bull And I'm glad you agree with the article I posted. Did you follow the link to The Mary Sue? That article really nailed what Arrow did wrong with Laurel. Hey, Evan, don't worry about it. I totally understand where you're coming from because I feel the same way. I was really reluctant to tell Lauren or anyone else how old I was when I first came here, and like you, I appeared to be younger than I actually was to a lot of people. I don't know how old you are, but you can't be too much older than I am since I'm old enough to remember the 80's. I've referenced the same kinds of stuff that you have(I've seen nearly every single Abbott & Costello movie ever made when I was a kid because I watched them in reruns on local UHF stations). And don't feel bad, okay? I'm sorry some jerk or whoever accused you of that. That's out of line, and no one hear would take that seriously. People like that just think that sites like FF are just for kids and girls, and anyone who doesn't fit that category must have something wrong with them. That's why I was so hesitant to talk about myself too much when I first came here. And for me it's not just FF, it's also the people I talk to on YouTube as well. So don't worry, okay? __________________

No I didn't know Alex thanks for telling me now Marvel just needs the Four, also as of now Sophie is tied with Jackman/Mckellan with 16 votes, and right now Tye has 17 votes while Stewart has 18 votes. Evan still has 19 votes, also McAvoy/Fassbender is tied with 26 votes, and ten years ago IGN had a top 25 X-Men list Cyclops was ranked number 1!

Lauren still hasn't posted, and I'm feeling blue from missing her.
You're welcome, dragonfire! And while I wouldn't mind seeing the Fantastic Four back with Marvel, I don't think that'll happen anytime soon. Fox is still planning another movie, so we'll have to wait a little longer. I'm in no rush because I'd rather see an Invaders movie with Captain America, Sub Mariner, and the original Human Torch. I've always been more partial to Jim Hammond than Johnny Storm because Jim's got the cooler red & gold costume, he's more powerful, and he's Marvel's first superhero. Thanks for all the X-Men rankings! It's a shame that Tye and Sophie are still ranked below the others, but hopefully that'll change after the next movie. And that's great about Cyclops' ranking at IGN! I'm glad he's finally getting his props. And that's good news about Scott and Jean winning the Superhero Hype vote as well. __________________

No Kinberg wants to do another one I think FOX wants to stay focus on making X-Men related films, also looking at the votes besides Stewart Tye has more votes than almost the entire OT cast, and Sophie is tied with Mckellan/Jackman out of all the new characters in Apocalypse Tye/Sophie is getting the most votes. As for the SHH vote really I think almost everyone knows Scott loves Jean more he's been loving her ever since 1963, also it seems the person who made the poll was a Logan/Jean shipper, and after it was made almost everyone started saying its Scott. EDIT Oh I almost forget did you noticed in Apocalypse

Well in a way it is sad but there is a twist and it involves Rachel Summers.

Well, one can only hope that we get FF back to Marvel, dragonfire. I'd still like to see The Invaders as well, if possible. I'd actually like to see Cap, Namor, and the Hammond Torch in the Avengers, but Marvel never does what I want. It would also be cool to see Spitfire in the Invaders as well, if for no reason other than to hear people say, "What's Firestar doing there?" FYI, Firestar's outfit from the 80's Spider-Man cartoons was based on Spitfire, but the two were different in that Firestar created flame, while Spitfire was a speedster like Quicksilver. She was so fast she left a trail of fire behind her, hence her name. And yes, I did notice that after Apocalypse found Xavier and knocked down the wall of the building, it was Scott who stood out in plain sight as Apocalypse approached. That was awesome, especially when Beast and Scott jumped down to take on Apocalypse. Hank and Scott were always close in the comics.
LAUREN!!! You finally posted! And why do you get to go to so many Comic Cons and I don't? But you're right, you probably could've bought a car or a house by now. I'm glad you remember me from SDCC at least. We were gonna go to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner but it was too busy, so we went to another restaurant for spaghetti, remember? And you insisted on paying for a cab back to your hotel instead of taking the SDCC bus for free. I still think you should've knocked that ginger girl out of your way. You're a tough Aussie. Wow, they charge that much for Barrowman? But it'll be great if you can meet David Anders! They should teach Laurenglish in school, huh? And I forgive you, Lauren. Just please go back and catch up on all of the posts I made, including my X-Men review. I'll repost them later if that helps. Oh, and you might wanna check out the article I posted on what's wrong with the CW's DC shows. And don't worry, we can do The Whispers watch whenever you have time, there's no rush. I've never seen The Room, so I don't know much about Brie Larson. And thanks for introducing yourself to our new poster. I haven't seen much of First Class to be honest, but I agree that Fassbender and McAvoy are way better as Magneto and Xavier than McKellen and Stewart. And Sophie Turner and Tye Sheridan were way better as Jean and Scott than Janssen and Marsden. And yes, Arinna and I both have our birthdays next Thursday, June 17th! I'll be waiting for presents. Yes, Scott and Jean actually had two children, although Rachel Summers is actually from an "alternate future timeline," which is the Days of Future Past timeline. It's actually Rachel who sends Kitty Pryde's consciousness back to the present-day to stop the Sentinels from taking over the world, but the movie changed it and made Kitty Pryde send Wolverine's consciousness back, even though Kitty can't really do that. Rachel is the telepath, and she inherited Jean's powers and Phoenix force, but the movie couldn't use Rachel because of ing X-3: The Last Stand killing off Scott and Jean, so they had to give Kitty a "secondary power," which made no sense. Nathan/Cable is Scott and Jean's other child, but like dragonfire said, Rachel brought them into the future to raise Nathan. I'm glad you understood my explanation of the Elders, Lauren. Yes, The Thanos Quest graphic novel had Thanos either tricking or challenging each of the Elders of the Universe in order to get the individual Infinity Gem each of them had. Here are all of the Elders: Cort Zo Tinnus / The Trader En Dwi Gast / The Grandmaster Father Time Gilpetperdon / The Runner Kamo Tharnn / The Possessor Maht Pacle / The Obliterator Ord Zyonz / The Gardener Rubanna Lagenris Quormo / The Caregiver Seginn Gallio / The Astronomer Taneleer Tivan / The Collector Tath Ki / The Contemplator Tryco Slatterus / The Champion of the Universe Zamanathan Rambunazeth / The Explorer The Architect The Judicator Only five Elders had Infinity Gems - The Collector had the Reality Gem, The Champion had the Power Gem, The Gardener had the Time Gem, The Runner had the Space Gem, and The Grandmaster had the Mind Gem. The cosmic superhero Adam Warlock(I've told you who he is so many times already) had the Soul Gem, but as I said, after he absorbed his own soul into the gem it fell into the hands of The In-Betweener, a cosmic being who was created by two of the great Cosmic Powers of the universe - Lord Chaos and Master Order, who represent the cosmic dichotomy of order and chaos, positive and negative, etc. The In-Betweener was created to be a fusion of both sides, creating a balance, hence his name. Marvel writers are weird. Anyway, Thanos got the gems from all of them and made the Infinity Gauntlet, which is what I think the MCU should've done because what they're doing instead makes no damn sense. __________________
