    Definitely not.  I loved the movie but this had endless F-Bombs. It was weird to hear  Professor X  talk smack.  Trying to jump on the Deadpool bandwagon perhaps a little too much

    It was not weird hearing Prof X talk like that at all.  Having experience with and seeing those affected by dementia and certain brain disorders that affect the elderly, inhibitions - especially those that govern how we express ourselves, are severely diminished.  if he didn't do that I would have been more surprised.

  2. Guys - can we keep this on point? Comments, wants and hopes about the movie. The pointless back and forth and get to know you posts make me want to drop the thread from Watch Topics.

     

    X-men fans or not just watch the movie and make up your own mind. Critics won't always be right or the norm, especially with Comic Book Movies.....

  3. Well, the first X-Men movie was released in 2000, that's 27 years after Mystique being captured in 1973 - where were the Sentinels in all that time?

     

    You made me watch Days of Future Past again, as now I was interested to see if there is a straight answer. But to make it fun, I watched the Rogue Cut. First time I saw the credit scene with Trask.

     

     

    The only logical answer is alternate timelines.

     

    It is explained at the beginning and during flashbacks.

     

    The alternate timeline begins when Trask isn't killed. The Sentinels were not launched originally because Mutants were hidden. Only after getting her DNA and being revealed leads to an early launch. If you remember Trask did not have funding or Congress until he meets with the President after an open battle with Mutants at the Peace Conference.

     

    In the original timeline Trask's mission is dark - hidden with the research of Mystique's DNA until they can create modern Sentinels.

     

    The shape - shifting Sentinels remain canon without rewriting history because Trask still needed time to develop them.

     

    It can also be explained that this leads to Apocalypse's early awakening because Mutants are now 10 years part of open society.

     

    You're welcome.

    How X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Means 2000's X-MEN Is No Longer Canon

     

    Collider was on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse and they learned how the X-Men universe has forever changed, following the timeline machinations of Days of Future Past. In this new timeline, the events of 2000's X-Men and all of its subsequent films (including the solo Wolverine films) are no longer canon.

    • The world that exists in Apocalypse differs from the other X-Men movies in that in this timeline, mutants were exposed to the world in 1973 during the debacle at the White House, and so theyre living out in the open and mostly accepted.
    • This new timeline is not necessarily leading towards the first X-Men movie anymore, although the philosophy is that the river will mostly end up in the same place with a few divergences here and there. This timeline is leading up to the New Future seen at the end of Days of Future Past, barring any other time travel changes.
    • In this new timeline, people could die that were alive in X-Men 1, 2 and 3, and people could survive who died in those three films.
    • Since the mutants arent in hiding anymore, this Charles Xaviers School for the Gifted is a much bigger school and a brighter, happier place at the beginning of the film.
    • The other Fox comic book adaptations Deadpool, Gambit, Fantastic Four and Wolverine take place in a post-Days of Future Past, post-Apocalypse The stadium dropping on the White House in 1973 is a key piece of their history.

     

  5. As a current LEGO VIP member and seeker of all things Marvel and Star Wars - I have been following the 2016 sets closely. I was able to get my hands on a few sets early from local stores after I found out Lego stores were holding back to sell existing stock. The Avenjet set is not based on any movie current or future - it is a spoiler for the upcoming season of the animated series, not an MCU movie. Marvel is again releasing sets based on animation like it did with Ultimate Spiderman. If you look at the top right corner they are using the Avengers Assemble cartoon series logo and images so it can explain using that universe.

     

    I will post pics of some completed Star Wars sets later today.

     

    I definitely look forward to seeing the pictures. I'm a Lego VIP member as well. But honestly, I do not take advantage of that membership enough.

     

    As far as writing off the kit laying the groundwork for the future of the MCU. I do a little research on comic book movies and TV shows. The talk has been a certain character is going to be rolled out as the new leader of the Avengers in time for Infinity War. Especially since some of the current Avengers actors are getting up in years, along with a few not extending their contracts.

     

     

     

     

    Plus hints of another character making his way into the MCU. A few folks on comicbookmovie.com have posted about talking with insiders about this, and getting hints but no definite confirmation. Could he and a team he is associated with become the next GotG? TBD.

     

     

     

     

    One reason none of the new kits can clearly call out any association with Avengers: Infinity War is the first movie is over two years out (May 2018). Plenty of time for Marvel to lock down its plans, marketing and partner roadmaps to take advantage of this fantastic universe. Time enough to build interest in new characters until then through comics, animation and - you guessed it - LEGO kits.

     

    :whee:

     

    Sorry for the lateness:

  6. The word's been out for a little while now on 'that character' finally appearing. But I'll post the image in spoilers anyway.

     

    You may want to do the same with the Avenjet set you posted. There are two characters shown which have been talked about as potential appearances in Infinity Wars, but not confirmed yet.
