I love that scene!!
But as far as a "prequel" I don't know.. It kind of kills some of the things that have been established as well as screwing the "Wolverine origins" movie..
No one seems to know if this is a prequel, reboot or some kind of re-imagining using some of the elements from the other movies (ravens look, etc..)
It was James Bondish and fun though.
*edit*
It actually seems like a reboot to me..

I think, considering it had the exact same first scenes as the first movie, it can be considered a prequel to at least X-Men and X2.
I think its possible that the writers acknowledged the first two movies as the movies that are generally loved, while Wolverine and X-Men 3 are both generally disliked and (in X-Men 3s case) widely regarded as having suffered from dodgy writing and decided to roll with it. There are no inconsistencies between this and the first two movies.
Wolverine and X-Men 3 however just are 100% incompatible. Emma Frost is completely different in First Class, Xavier and Magneto's situation makes the starting of X-Men 3 impossible, Xavier's cameo in Wolverine could not have happened, Scott Summers was seen during the Cerebro search at an age that cannot work with his age in Wolverine Origins, etc.

All things considered, would you have preferred her as a mom with a bird boyfriend and six feathered fly babies?
amcgrath929 wrote:Nah, they could have just given her a different name considering you know, she didn't resemble the Angel character whatsoever.

She's Angel Salvadore, or Angel, who is far different from Angel/Archangel.

Wasn't the Angel/Archangel in the X-Men first class comics though?
I thought it was just an odd choice considering there are many others they could have chosen.

Yes, he was a prominent character in the first beginnings of the X-Men. Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel/Archangel and Jean Grey are the first five x-men.

Cousins, perhaps?

I liked that it was set in the 60s (the same time humans were discovering TFs on the moon ) and the elaboration on Magneto's development. The best thing was, of course, Wolverine's scene, and my biggest gripe was Sebastian Shaw. Not Kevin bacon, he was awesome like he is in everything else, but I am a fan of the Dark Phoenix comic story, and Sebastian Shaw is NOT what he was portrayed as in the movie. Doesn't look like that or act like that. It's kind of a sticking point with me, because I am fond of him as a villain. I'll get over it. Overall, good summer fun, hell of a lot better than Thor.

Shaw didn't bother me that much. I can see your point about differences though. In comics, Shaw played the bigot while pushing his own agenda for power rather than racial rights or human extermination. Not to mention he never had a kinetic energy redirection power. Seemed more Gambit than Shaw but whatever works. At least they made a nod to the Hellfire club, albeit a conciliatory one.
And Thor was great!

Inconsistencies were very much evident in the 1st movie, when they are showing Scott and Jean as part of the 1st class. The new movie is stupid as the characters are crap. How can Havok and Scott be brothers when Havok is about 16 in 1967 and Cyclops is about 15 in Wolverine which is set decades later? The fact that they actually picked Angel Salvatore as a character in the film is ridicious. Her character sucks. As does Darwin. I can think of many other X-men that they could have used over those flakes. The new movie is a rental at best.
Anyone who thinks First Class is better than Wolverine is off their meds.....
