TM2 Dinobot Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Irony: Hulk Vs Wolverine was a better Weapon X story than W:O was. And really? Unless we're specifically told to, I can't ignore movies in continuity. It's there for a reason, and they can't be explained away through fanfiction. There's the possibility that Beast Machines was all a Quintesson ploy, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore that it happened. Know what I mean?

Turtle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) It just helps me sleep better at night to tell myself that. And it's taken me a long time to accept X3 in even this fashion. Edited January 21, 2011 by Turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd go & watch this film just because of Rose Byrne & January Jones......both actresses were superb in Damages & Mad Men respectively.....TBH ,even if they were bad actresses I would still just watch them......

The Vox Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Finally!! A movie about Banshee and Havok. FTW? It's going to take a mutant-miracle to get the masses on board with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Byrne, but totally disagree about Jones. Betty Draper's long been the biggest weakness about Mad Men. I've never been able to tell if she's just playing a completely vapid character really well, or if she's just really dull. Maybe X-Men First Class will help me decide!

I concur. Although I do not think I have seen JJ in anything, Rose is great in every aspect. And a big reason I am so looking forward to this movie. She better get a mate out of this! And why don't we throw in Zoe Kravitz to round out the hair colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secaucuscollector Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 From what I've read and seen, X-Men: First class is supposed to be a rebbot and a prequel at the same time. THe director Matthew Vaughn stated that it's cleverly written so that you can't really say it;s one or the other. But I guess anything is better than X3 ........

Nessex Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If you're into Rose Byrne, i can recommend Two Hands. She only has a smallish part in it, but it's an interesting film. I think it was one of her first film roles, actually. It's a drama set in criminal sydney & was kind of a break-out film for Heath Ledger too. Anyway - back on track: I'm hoping we get Mates of these characters too, but i'm worried we might not see any with all the Cap A & Thor stuff AA/DST are pumping out.

screamfleet Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Okay. Enough. I get it. I was the only person in the world who actually liked X3. You can all shut up now. Actually lots of people liked it. The DVD sales did pretty well. They just did alot of silly stupid things in x-men 3 so they could work around all the actors schedules. That's where comics have a huge advantage, a drawing is always ready to do what you tell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 My one question: Wasn't Emma Frost just a kid in the Wolverine movie which was supposed to be the late 70's, right? or am I just farbot? Or are we ignoring that? Honestly though, if that's the only flubb, so be it. According to the cast list for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, she was listed as Kayla's Sister/Emma. The only person to refer to her as Emma Frost is Hugh Jackman. So, if a person is having difficulties with continuity, one could argue that Kayla's sister was a different mutant that could turn to diamond. Sure it is a coincidence that two blonde mutants that turn to diamond are named Emma, but it's believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there were some things that I thought were off (as a multiple man fan I wasn't fond of the villain role) but much like any other comic based movie I take it all in stride and with a grain of salt and I do not bother trying to think that the movies connect, even if they do in some ways...I look at them as stand alone stories then you don't have to try to explain discrepancies.

When you click on Emma Frost on imdb.com, it takes you to a list of movies the character has been and it's Wolverine Origins and X Men First class. So Yeah they are the same Emma not two different mutants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click on Emma Frost on imdb.com, it takes you to a list of movies the character has been and it's Wolverine Origins and X Men First class. So Yeah they are the same Emma not two different mutants. I was going based off the film's ending credits, which lists her as "Kayla's sister/Emma," and does not specify her as Emma Frost. IMDB is a great resource, but it is run by fans, which can make it inaccurate in many instances, similar to Wikipedia. It is all a moot point anyhow. What really happened is that the writers/producers for Wolverine wanted to add in Emma Frost for fan purposes. However, they didn't really refer to her as Emma Frost directly, so they decided to reuse her in First Class. Clearly there is an age difference, since Emma is ten years older in First Class, which takes place ten years prior to Wolverine. In order to justify it in my mind, I just pretend that Emma in Wolverine is not the same person as Emma Frost, since the movie itself does not state it as such.

Nessex Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Maybe the 'Emma' in XMOW is a sister of Phobe, Mindee, Esme - etc . . . no - wait . . . we saw them in The Last Stand too, didn't we? Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn. Even if they were, we're playing continuity police here, so it still wouldn't work. They're names are Sophie, Phoebe, Irma (aka Mindee), Celeste & Esma. But personally, I'm in the "She's Silver Fox's boring blonde sister whose name just coincidentally happens to be Emma, and whose powers are the same" camp. The way they worked her into Origins was stupid anyway. Better off retconned. Edited January 24, 2011 by Gillbob316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yeah, also, they are gonna need some serious ret-conning if they are gonna attract that female Twilight audience the director is going after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
