P.C Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Exactly. Its a no brainer for both Marvel and Netflix, most of what they have done individually recently has turned to gold so no reason it cant work. At the least it covers origins for more Marvel characters without the need for a film in the same way AOS can debut characters and gauge reaction before deciding if they can take it further Good times to be a geek 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I remain ridiculously excited about the Daredevil netflix show. So much potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 It really has kicked on this season. The first season was ok but I think because it hadn't had it's 22 episode run in advance it did f**k about with it's structure and chuck fillers in left, right and centre. The second season has shown what it can do with a full license to crack at 22 episodes. I'd argue that it probably should be cut to 13-16 to bring down the quantity over quality ratio. It's no surprise that the Flash TV show has a lot to thank Arrow for giving it the foundations to run off thanks to that excellent two parter. FWIW, even with Agents of Shield showing decent improvements, I'll offer a square go with anyone that thinks it is better than Arrow. Cheers, a few of my friends and my brother watch Arrow, they rate it highly. After watching the Flash trailer and your recommendation I'll give it a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Id imagine there will be some cross overs with the 2 shows as well so makes sense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 A thought regarding Xmen Days of Futures Past: The newest trailer shows Young Xavier regaining his ability to walk for the film, now could it be perhaps that because we see a older walking Xavier in both xmen origins and in a flashback from Last stand, with both are sometime in the 80s that Xavier will regain use of his legs in this film but will permanently loose use of them again at a later date? Perhaps late 80's early 90's? Could this be the series attempt at fixing some of the major continuity issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 In First Class we see him in a wheelchair at the end but it could be that he recovers and the chair was only used during rehabilitation. Also there are plenty of mutants kicking around so maybe someone has some power that helped him? Plenty of ways to explain it I'd imagine. Don't think he loses his powers or else there would be no point in sending Wolverine back to him. On the topic of X-Men; is Origins: Wolverine considered canon? I know that the first three X-Men and The Wolverine are all canon, but what's the deal with Origins? It kind of messes things up a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there was a rumour way back when that they would do origin films for a few of the Xmen but obviously never happened. Might be why First Class was done tho. Im still looking forward to the film and really hope Singer has done it justice, i still love Xmen 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first X-Men was on Film 4 last night. Not seen it in years. It was pretty decent. X-Men 2 is good and X-Men: The Last Stand is silly but decent. First Class is tremendous and I thought The Wolverine was good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hated Xmen 3. It should of been what DOFP is going to be (tho to be fair think First Class will help the story along better) Dont understand why they made such a big deal promoting Angel when he is in for like 5mins and probably would of been an ideal film to give Rogue some decent powers for the big fight at the end. The killing off of Xavier had me out straight from the start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it as a film but as a part of the franchise it was fucking devastating. So far first class is the best followed by Wolverine, then X2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the fact it addressed how old he actually was but him being brothers with Sabertooth did my bloody box in. Also how he got the name Wolverine...

Uncle Psychosis Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Entirely guesswork but I think the Xavier "walking" stuff will be in some kind of psychic projection or training room or something. The worst thing about the X-men films was the absolute shambles of how they portrayed and handled Cyclops. An absolute kick in the nuts for X-fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a trailer where Xavier, Wolverine, Beast and Quicksilver break Magneto out of a prison under the Pentagon after which Xavier punches Magneto's puss. Also will Magneto be Irish again? The way his accent totally changed at the end of First Class was bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
