It brings back Rogue, Jean Grey and Cyclops too. Technically the first two x movies could have still happened and some aspects of the wolverine (minus his dreams of killing Jean since now that does not happen). It also ties first class to the first Xmen series too with a little more cohesion. I am interested in seeing how Mysteque and magneto get re acquainted after the events of 73 as well.
There is no reason to assume that this movie,DOFP, "basically" or completely wipes X3 from existence/continuity,.Obviously somethings changed, but that does not mean that the same events unfolded the same a very similar way.
And that includes all the deaths still happening.Jean,Scott and Pro-X may still have died...........and returned as Pro-X and Jean have already done.Jean died in X-2 and returned in X-3, Pro-X died in X3 and returned by "the Wolverine", althou not explained.
What do you mean by this film bringing back Rogue?She never died or left.She was back at the school at the end of X3.
Autobot032 wrote:It completely wipes it from existence. X3, that is. You can't have the events of this film and the events of that film happening in the same universe. It's literally impossible. Xavier and Eric were both much older men when they first came across Jean. Here, they were much younger and it was around the same time frame, or at least not much before they found Jean.
Not to mention, Xavier could walk in the flashback in X3, whereas he's clearly a paraplegic at the end of this film. There's no way he went back to walking and giving up his powers just before meeting Jean, seeing how powerful she was.
This film completely wipes 3 off the map, and good portions of 2 off as well.
The Wolverine, I thought, was a pretty good flick. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Sad to see it's effectively written out as well. Without the X-Men falling apart and Xavier being dead, there's no reason for Logan to be in Japan. Especially when he clearly has a home, now.

Mmm, that's an interesting challenge for the scriptwriters, I'd say. Of course, it'll be their continuity that applies.

Maggotron wrote:Oh, I meant that the scriptwriters or conceptualizers of the movie would have the say on the movie continuity. What's the right one, how Days of Future Past will affect everything, etc. But I guess what you say is right about how the continuity is set. Event-altering through time-travel is confusing, though.
Well, when it comes to rating the X-Men movies, it would seem DFP gets the top slot for me, too.

Starlord = Hot Rod
Groot = Jetfire
Rocket = Wheelie
Drax = Springer
Gemorah = Arcee
Those are the main 5 I thought of. Various supporting characters would be the Dinobots and Ultra Magnus.

Those are godawful picks. You replaced Rocket Raccoon, the violent, machine gun-toting badass...with Wheelie?

In my bored and sleep-deprived state it was a valid choice. Imagine if Wheelie was a sawed-off gun-toting psychopath.

Then it stops being Wheelie. You should have gone with Cliffjumper.

Cliffjumper is too big. He wouldn't have been in scale. Scale is very important in Transformers.

In the comics it was her and Colossus' daughter who had that power, I believe. They took some creative license with it, and gave the power to her. Still closer to the source material than if some random person had it.

ComingSoon wrote:Following this morning's new images from Joss Whedon's much-anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron, EW has revealed quite a few details about the plot of the May 1, 2015 release, particularly related to James Spader's robotic antagonist!
"A lot of times when Ultron starts talking, it’s beautiful," explains Chris Evans. "It's really intelligent stuff. He's out to do the things he wants to do because he's disgusted with X, Y, and Z. You could probably sit down with Ultron and have a really intelligent conversation. He could blow your mind with his views."
An unusual foe, Ultron actually wants to bring about world peace. He simply wants to eliminate those most responsible for disrupting it: the human race.
"I know you're 'good' people," the magazine reveals as part of Ultron's dialogue to the Avengers, "I know you mean well… but you just didn't think it through… There is only one path to peace… your extermination."
The magazine confirms that Ultron's character begins as one of Tony Stark's "Iron Legion," a team of Iron Man-type robots that Stark is using to continue his crime-fighting in his absence. The character also serves as a metaphorical surrogate son to Tony and has elements of his personality.
"It's not the good version that could've come from [Stark's] intellect and personality," says Chris Hemsworth. "It's the bad son."
ComingSoon wrote:Following the reveal yesterday detailing the plans of the titular Ultron, Entertainment Weekly is back with more details from the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron, this time on the brother-sister duo of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
"They're on Team Ultron, which makes things really hard for the Avengers because all of sudden they’re dealing with powers that they’re not used to," director Joss Whedon told the outlet. "With the [first] Avengers, everybody pretty much had the power of being able to punch somebody, and now we have a woman who can get inside your head and move objects, and a boy that can move faster than anything, and a robot [Ultron] who can self-replicate and is out of his mind. So all of sudden, it's a darker, weirder, tougher world that they’re living in."
"There's a lot of clashing. He's quick tempered. He gets agitated. He's impatient. But he's super protective," Aaron Taylor-Johnson said of his character. "They're very yin-and-yang in that twin sense. In his power, he's physical and she's psychological. My character is very much on the frontline, but he can be quite emotional. You see this beautiful tenderness between them."
Another addition to the film will see The Vision, played in person by Paul Bettany who previously only voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Marvel films.
"It's not coincidence," Whedon said. "And I'm not going to tell you any more about The Vision."
The site goes on to report that they were shown test footage of Bettany in character which they said looked "a little more on the purple side of the spectrum than orange" and had "a slightly more technological edge than the original."
Currently filming in London, the sequel also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Thomas Kretschmann, and James Spader. Written and directed once again by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron will open on May 1, 2015.
