Unfortunately, that’s all, but not all.
What’s more or less right now wouldn’t have been possible without groundbreaking movies like Bryan Singer’s X-Men. They are films that made the right decisions for the moment they arrived. These aren’t the best ideas if you want a large audience to come out of a new feature-length comic. And the director knew how to read it.
Fortunately, that is not the case at the moment. And as the MCU showed, it was possible to have it all. But this is the result of a long process. And in today’s eyes, it’s the worst aging and most neglected franchise. And that gives a lot of room for leeway when it comes to figuring out plot problems.
As such, here are the biggest pitfalls that can be put into this franchise. Again, it should be clarified that these are not plot holes as such, but rather something broader that deals with inconsistencies, conveniences and other scripting errors.
Without further ado, here are the top 10:
10. Time is relative… But not that much
As for the consistency of the timeline, it went pretty well… The days of the future are pastIf it did… Probably Wolverine Immortal happens in the present and gets hired at the end of the movie. And there is a ellipsis that goes from one movie to the next, far into the future, for no reason whatsoever. And of course no one has aged since then X Men 3† And the decades of the prequel trilogy, How exactly do they do it? This seems to tell me, and there is no point where its transformation never happens. mccavoy dirty stewart nor twister dirty McKellen.
He can be so ugly about it, so much so that it deserves its own part. However, more examples will be given throughout the text.
9. Inconsistencies Between Movies
Remember when Wolverine fell into the hands of Mystique (as Striker) at the end of Days of Future Past? well inside Apocalypse It turns out that Striker (the real one) has it because it’s a potato.
What’s particularly annoying about the prequels is that they later decide to bring up things that weren’t mentioned in the “current” line. Not to mention that it directly contradicts the events already told and underestimated.
Do you remember when Magneto lost his powers? So the makers The days of the future are pastor.
Ah, how does Logan fit into the futuristic dystopia? X-Men: Days of Future Past†
There are many land problems of this kind. Details can be ignored. However, the fact that it is collected in such a large scale has the effect of undermining the credibility of the film as a whole. Indicates a carelessness that indicates a lack of care. And if it’s in such simple things, how do you expect the audience to be interested in the characters?
8. What about Cerebro’s patents?
In the movies, Xavier explains that he is the person behind the Cerebro machine, which allows the mutant leader to find his machine. He also gives some of the authorship to Magneto. Now first generation presented only as an invention made by Beast. Will it be one of those situations where someone charismatic really appreciates working genius?
legion It is a series that comes into its own and does not fit into the movie series. However, there is an alternate version of Brain’s creation, a Xavier as the sole person in charge of the machine (of course it couldn’t possibly be him from the movies).
7. Xavier’s Death and Resurrection
Do you remember when Xavier died? X Men 3† It seems that the authors do not remember. Just as he disappeared, his mind continued to be preoccupied with the body of a comatose patient… Perfect. But how does he get his body back and meet Wolverine at the end of his second movie? Place your bet! You will always win because every explanation is valid.
And then inside The days of the future are pastno one wonders how the resurrection of the above is possible.
6. Wolverine’s regen doesn’t work like this
One of the biggest parts of this series takes place in Wolverine Immortal. At the end of the movie directed by James Mangold, Wolverine loses his adamantium and returns to his bone claws. A dramatic twist that could have been something interesting… if it wasn’t for him The days of the future are past it was his turn to have metal claws. But the problem arises when just that is confirmed in the same movie, in a post-credits scene (where Magneto paralyzes Wolverine despite using bone claws…). Something that happened a few minutes ago has been completely reversed.
5. The First Two Lives of Moira MacTaggert
Moira MacTaggert, adventurer, scientist and former mistress of Charles Xavier. Being played by an actress as charismatic as Rose Byrne should be news that congratulates locals and foreigners alike. Unsurprisingly, he is one of the most beloved characters of mutant franchise fans. This is not the case for those behind the movie, as age has not passed. If the character embarked on an adventure in the 1960s, why not a venerable old lady in this adventure? X Men 3†
4. Make a sign if it’s you
Something like the above… You need to have some flexibility with how the characters appear over time. When hiring different actors for the same character, it’s normal to have different traits, mannerisms, and even acting styles. This is the only way a character can be played believably by different people.
Now if you have an actor with achondroplasia and normative status to play Bolivar Trask that’s a good idea, there is a problem. As it happens, in a time jump of decades, it seems to be a similar age… Not to mention the Sabretooth case, which is a completely similar case. What happened to the character in between? X-Men Inception: Wolverine and the first part x Men† Actually, if they’re already old acquaintances in theory, why don’t they treat each other like brothers? We will never know…
Special mention to the fact that Emma Frost was older in the 1960s than she was in the 1980s…
3. Faulty sentry
And the genius of Bolivar Trask has already formed a coalition. He is one of the greatest and most dangerous scientists in the Marvel Universe. But there should not be too much light in the movie version. Why? Because the latest version of Sentinels The days of the future are past It was based on Mystica’s DNA.
Great, will there be sentries that will change their appearance? Wow. Influential. The government funds the project. And magically, it turned out that these sentries can copy the abilities of all mutants. I can imagine everyone would be frightened by this outcome because Mystique’s powers have never been this way. Quite a miracle.
2. Wolverine’s Memory
Okay, let’s face it, in the comics, Wolverine’s memory has changed and varied a thousand and one times. It’s a bit of a quagmire, but it’s never been as disconnected as in the movie.
One of the most frustrating things is that amnesia remembers what interests them.† Or worse, amnesia that is no longer there. In the first trilogy, the character basically remembers nothing. And he describes how he lost his memory in his first movie: with an adamantium bullet in Striker’s head (juas). But in Wolverine immortal, He inexplicably remembers his travels in Japan during WWII.
1. Xavier, when exactly did you meet Eric?
Another with dancing memory (and basically no amnesia in this one) is Charles Xavier. In the first, the alopecia mutant recorded meeting Magneto when she was 17. However, X Men First Generation totally contradicting. Is this another manipulation of Charles or is he just going crazy?
Extra ball: What time is it?
OK, yes. What? deadpool You don’t need to consider it, as it’s a movie that’s totally a part of it. However, X-Men from previous episodes is in a cameo appearance. when should i do deadpool Not to mention the presence of Colossus, which was unexpected or absent in the original X-Men movies.
The situation you are in right now is complex. Marvel Studios† Does a reboot work with such established and loved characters? Does it make sense to go ahead with this franchise and try to reformulate it based on what’s already out there? No clear answer can be given here. Just trust that they will make the right decisions. Time will show us…
The next possible clue? Xavier looks like he’s baffled by everyone, making them understand that he’s going to show up. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness next May. And we will be there to prove it.
