Meh, father brother... I was close. Just goes to show that maybe I didn't wiki it after all? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My point with Angel Salvatore is that she was in the universe before the movie. So she's only been around for decade, sue me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


(Edit: Havoc made an appearance in 2 X-Men cartoons. That I did have to look up on wiki [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but I was sure I saw him on tv once.)

Are you sure you are not thinking of Vulcan? The third Summers kid...

no. cyclops was oldest, havoc is middle and vulcan is youngest.

duhhhh.

EDIT: my biggest gripe is that mystique comes up with magneto's name in the movie. that is just not his character at all to take anything from anyone else, he is way to elitist.

are you all talking about cartoons? you need comic book infos! which predated cartoons lol
that being said, i never got into the x-men, avengers and the like..
i didnt like the team books much, mostly soloer's like spidey / DD / capt america etc.

one thing i could tell from memory, and which prolly wasnt made clear in the movie was..
who the hell are some of these people? hahah
i had to google em to see why i couldnt recall that being the original team :P
i rated it 4/10 for being good fodder

My opinion of how X-men should be is almost entirely based on the old cartoon ("X-men the animated series") which I really enjoyed, so for me this movie was absolute garbage. Even if I was open to new interpretations of how the characters should be, the movie had horrible dialogue, cheesy acting, and a generally mediocre story.

I feel that the writers didn't stay true to the personalities of many of the popular characters, and they even had trouble staying continuous with the recent X-men movies (for example: the Professor's relationship with Mystique, nearly all of the characters' personalities, and various other things were changed from the movies). The biggest problem I had by far was their treatment of Professor X. In the cartoon the professor was a complex and tragic character who had a miserable childhood in addition to having the worst luck with love; there wasn't any indication that this was true in the movie. For example, the character I was familiar with from the cartoons would get extremely awkward if a woman showed affection towards him; the character in the movie however was charismatic and constantly shown hitting on women. This might seem minor, but all sorts of little personality traits like that and facts about the character were changed in the movie. It always made sense to me that the professor had a hard life and created the X-men (and devoted himself to non-violence/reconciliation with humans/etc.) partly because of that, so the whole movie just kind of got ruined for me when they took out all of the complex motivations he had for creating them. The writers also did a terrible job exploring his struggle with Magneto who didn't believe in coexistence with humans. Considering that this is almost entirely what the X-men movies as well as the cartoon were about, this is obviously a big problem with the movie.

Lots of other characters were ruined too, like Mystique obviously, but I won't get into that because this post is already too long.

TLDR: the movie sucks.

Actually, this occurs in the comic books in which Darwin becomes energy itself. Yes, he adapted to the energy that killed him and became the energy. He later creates a physical body.

Did he die in the movie? Perhaps. In the comic book, no.

Have none of you heard of the Marvel Multiverse? Marvel has done this several times, characters associations and origins and even timelines are completely up to whoever is writing it. The characters in the movie exist in an alternate continuity then the characters you are all mentioning from the animated series. Although i dont know exactly which continuity, or "universe" this movie takes place in, the fact that it lacks continuity with other films/comics means little really. I mean, look at the Noir alternate continuity, the xmen are a bunch of juvenile delinquents using their mutant powers for evil, and the head detective tracking them down is magneto...Does that follow any movie or cartoon you've ever seen? If you try and compare and criticize this movie based on the other movies/comics/cartoons you've seen, it's never going to be as good as them, because it is different. Just take it for face value. If you didn't like it that's fine, but not liking it because it "didn't stay true to the personalities of many of the popular characters, and they even had trouble staying continuous with the recent X-men movies" is dumb imo.

The previous x-men was a giant turd and only 0.5% of hollywood sequels don't get worse. I can't even imagine how bad the new one must be.
