just thinking about this movie right now. Really, isn't it awkward as fuck that we now have an xmen live action movie that features goddamn time travel? WTF?
I've been seeing xmen movies since I was 14, and never once thought, Oh one day we'll be seeing some kind of fancy sci fi time travel element to the franchise. Mind you the film is so good you don't dwell on the fact that you just saw time travel and indeed the xmen world is full of hokey powers what's the big deal with time travel, THE BIGGEST DEAL.
That's above and beyond a mutant power and indeed could lead to the destruction of the universe, how can one little mutant have that kind of power so casually, it's outrageous truth be told.
Really think about it. Yeah we have tons of mutant powers that are physical abilities and manipulation of physics and weather and energy and generally biological physical powers. But never something as monumental as breaking the time barrier, although you can argue teleportation is similar to it, but teleportation doesn't completely twist the laws of physics inside out and backwards and upside down.
Time travel is almost more or less a mystical power, not a mutant power. So I'm thinking in my head now days of future past is where Xmen movies jumped the shark, not xmen 3. Say what you want about x3 but it still stuck with the same universe we saw in x1 and x2. Xmen days of future past is a great movie, but one that completely rapes the realistic tone of the first two xmen movies by introducing wacky time travel powers that really are ridiculous.
Fucking ridiculous, sorry to say. That and the sentinels. Both those things make the xmen movies we knew into far too cartoony a universe. Really you need giant robots to beat mutants. How about fucking terminator style robots that aren't easily identifiable, goddamn...
I mean as a big ass xmen tas fan, I didn't mind. I liked seeing wolverine take on a giant sentinel for once in the movies. Something I've dreamt of since I was a teen going to see x1 at the theaters. And now fuck yeah finally seeing wolverine going toe to toe with a giant ass fucking sentinel. It's awesome and I loved seeing it, but it's like, I grew up watching a fucking serious normal xmen movie that by golly TOOK ITSELF FUCKING SERIOUSLY. The thing I loved most about x1 was that it wasn't a straight up rip of the comic books. It was practically a normal movie but included badass mutant powers and stuff. But fuck that noise these days, if it's stupid and ridiculous and colorful and awkward, throw it on screen!!!
