Storm's nephew?

 

[sunshineblotters]

Spike is storm's nephew. I don't think he is a cannon character though. But I briefly watched X-Men Evolution to see if I would like it.

 

[rfx45]

Just stop dude, you are talking out of your a**. I can pick a single thing in any of these films and relate to any arc the way you are reaching.

They didn't ruin a virus story because there was no virus story for gods sake! It was a "the cure" story and nothing else, no pre-cursor to anything. Hell the whole story was a metaphor really about accepting yourself and equality than anything else and everyone already says and agrees X3 sucks.

And the Asian dude isn't Spike, it is Quill. Again, talking out of your a** because you are blinded with hate. Do your damn research before you talk.


And no, Iron Patriot being in IM3 (not Avengers) is not a valid excuse just because you say so. It really did nothing to the story that he was named Iron Patriot, they could have just named him Star Spangled Machine and have the same effect.



And again, we get it, you hate Fox and anything XMen they come out with because you're an f'n XMen fan but not a comic book fan, you made that very clear, just an XMen fan and not a comic book fan so can you not spew out hate and ridiculous reaching every single time an XMen related article comes up? Because it will happen all year long for the next 5-10 years it becomes more and more ridiculous everytime you make a claim that simply isn't even close to being valid and have no further proof to your claims.

I dunno, TDKR kinda doesn't age well for me now. Still a really good story but I dunno about best of the best. It's iconic cuz it completely changed how Batman was written (and that's funny cuz most ppl should've just looked at it as a future elseworlds story like DOFP).
When did they **** up Age of Apocalypse? Nothing related to that story has been in the movie (Legion, Apocalypse, time travel to the past, Bishop, etc.)

I aint talking out my ***. The "cure" was not a cure at all. It turns out the cure was a virus that made mutants stronger and slaves to apocalypse. It didnt heal angel, it turned him into Archangel. So not age of apocalypse but the precursor to AoA

That has nothing to do with AoA AT ALL.

What you're talking about just loosely ties in to Apocalpyse's 4 horseman story in one of the earlier times he tries to do what he usually does, elevate mutants to their rightful place on Earth by the means of survival of the fittest (i.e. making sure they're worthy with some hellish fight).

The cure in the movie was just lifted from another story in the comics which didn't have anything to do with Apocalypse. Almost every decade of X-comics somebody shows up with a "cure"

I meant they ruined the virus story and the virus story is a precursor to AoA.

Again. No it doesn't at all. What does the virus story have to do with Age of Apocalypse?

Even if the movies did take from the Apocalypse story dealing with the "cure" it does not ruin the chances of an AoA movie AT ALL. You don't need some "cure precursor story" to tell the Age of Apocalypse.

 

[ksteezy]

^I stopped watching this series after Origins sucked so bad. I hate people who talk in theatres but me and my friends were that group of people. We didnt talk but we laughed so hard at all the ****** plotlines we annoyed the **** out of everyone in the vicinity. I stll can't hear the words "adamantium bullets" without laughing.

Only watched First Class because I thought it was an overdue reboot.
Didn't see Wolverine and I never will. Hell I didnt even see X2 or X3 in theaters. Saw X3 and part of X2 on TV. Didnt need to watch the whole thing to know it sucked.
It would take divine intervention to make me see this. Especially since they are so upfront about it being connected to the ****** original trilogy.

So how much is that tax return?

Grow the **** up kid....going to a movie theater and ruining the experience for everyone else there because said movie is not up to YOUR particular standards is so childish... I'm mad someone didn't embarrass you little boys

 

[sunshineblotters]

Its not our fault the plot was so laughable. We didnt purposely do it. On top of that it was a couple times. Not throughout the whole movie.

That has nothing to do with AoA AT ALL.

Did you just wikipedia me to AoA? I have the entire stack of comics still as well as Legion Quest and the somewhat of ty ins comics. Exiles 60-61, and the comic where Legion kills destiny or whatever, for example. I know what it is

Okay archangel and the apocalypse saga has nothing to do with each other. Not arguing with you elitist.

You actually have the comic and yet do not know what you're talking about?

That's sad.

Next time I'll post scans of the actual comic to further explain why a virus story related to Apocalypse has nothing to do with Age of Apocalypse.

Unless you're gonna prove how Archangel and that virus story line was important to Age of Apocalypse stop posting bull ****. It's ******g Archangel, one of the least important characters when it came to AoA.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Apocalypse using archangel has a lot to do with AoA. I dont mean just the 4 month event. Archangel almost rose to be the next Apocalypse. I'm talking about everything to do with Apocalypse being chosen to make sure the next step of evolution comes through and making mutants the superior species. AoA, the virus, Age of Stryfe, the clone of Apocalypse Fantomex made, Cable's entire existence, Sinister's entire existence, etc. All of that is part of the AoA continuity. Don't tell yourself otherwise.

 

[thorrocksjs]

Apocalypse is one character they can't gloss over he is the alpha omega of x men villains Magneto can be reasoned with and has scruples Apocalpyse is a far more vicious and real threat no speech will stop him from accomplishing his goals he won't rest til he conquers

 

[Fozz]

Jackman is going to be Ian McCellan's age and still be pumping out Wolverine movies.

Still, I'm happy to see another. Outside the final 20 minutes, this last one was really solid. They just stumbled a bit with SS.

That means we might see an Old Man Logan film! lol.

bro that happened YEARS before Age of Apocalypse, what are you talking about?

And thats not how Angel became Archangel.  He lost his wings during the Mutant Massacre, and Apocalypse offered him a chance to get his wings back by becoming his horseman....but still all of this was in the late 80s, AOA didnt happen until the mid 90s

Also, during AoA, Angel neither had metal wings, nor worked for Apocalypse.

 

[sunshineblotters]

You are right. But by the time of the even in 616 he did have his metal wings.

Namor came out years before mutants were a part of the marvel universe but he is still a mutant. Like I said I don't mean just the AoA event. I mean everything related to it. The whole AoA continuity.

Don't tell yourself otherwise.

No you're wrong. I'm talking about the AoA event it's why I keep referring to AoA and not anything else. Nobody and I mean NOBODY refers to AoA as everything that has to do with Apocalypse, that's just stupid. The fact that you do says a lot.

All of that is separate from the Age of Apocalypse. I don't think you remember the ending of AoA or the concept of an alternate universe. The virus plays no part in AoA, Cable's entire existence plays no part in AoA cuz in that universe we have Nate Grey; X-Man, the Age of Stryfe, Sinister, Genesis, etc. play no part in AoA. The majority of those characters do not exist in AoA's continuity.

It's also kinda clear you do not know what the word continuity means and how it pertains to the history of a given universe. If you knew what it meant you wouldn't be attributing events in Earth-616 to the AoA Earth. The events in AoA did not happen to the Apocalypse in 616. They're two different Apocalypse's. The whole crux of AoA is that Legion's actions awoken En Sabah Nur 20 years earlier at a time where the planet was mostly defenseless in his conquering all of it which has nothing to do with the other stuff you're mentioning. You're just confusing two different universes at this point. You couldn't make the two connect if you tried.

So no all of that is not part of AoA continuity and you thinking that is what's incorrect.

It's sad I had to explain this to someone that allegedly has the book but since you're not a comic book fan I'm not surprised I had to explain all of that to you.

All in all this still doesn't change that nothing done in the movie ****** up the chances of a AoA movie cuz the virus story line has nothing to do with AoA.

 

[prostaffer]

The movies have completely butchered anything Weapon X for me so no on Maverick. I'd love to see Omega Red though.
Psylocke cuz of Uncanny X-Force or some earlier story where they both had somebody in mind they wanted to kill in the comics (to me he looked like a taller Japanese Wolverine in a suit. All I recall from that is Wolverine would torture him every year by cutting off a piece of his body cuz he killed one of his lovers or something and Psylocke wanted to kill him for some personal reason. Think he brainwashed, made her kill for him, and raped her).

I actually ran through my comics and that was one of like three comics I re-read. Great storyline. I only dread how bad they will make omega red and his coils look with their budget sfx

 

[prostaffer]

^

Oh and the story was that the guy and omega red were trying to extract the healing factor from wolverine because omega red was dying or some stuff

@alexweprin: Disney, Netflix strike deal for four live-action series and a miniseries based on Marvel characters. Sounds like a big, expensive deal.

Marvel And Netflix Announce 'Daredevil,' 'Luke Cage,' and Three More TV Series

Alex Zalben
November 7, 2013

In a move that pretty much changed the TV landscape in one fell swoop, Marvel and Netflix announced  plans for a TV/on-demand version of "The Avengers" Thursday (November 7): four live action series based on their superhero properties will play on Netflix, all culminating in a team-up mini-series titled "The Defenders."From the press release:Led by a series focused on "Daredevil," followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage," the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel's "The Defenders" mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.The biggest, most recognizable series is "Daredevil," which previously was made into a much-maligned movie starring Ben Affleck. After the rights to the property lapsed at FOX, and returned to Marvel Studios, fans have been wondering where the blind lawyer by day, New York vigilante by night would show up next. And now they know the answer.The other series are probably less well known, at least to fans outside the comic-book arena:'Jessica Jones'
This was previously announced in development by Marvel TV as "AKA Jessica Jones," based on the comic book by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos. The comic series was named "Alias," which was also the name of a TV show starring Jennifer Garner (interestingly, also a star of the "Daredevil" movie), hence the name change to "AKA Jessica Jones." Now it's just simply the character's name. Jones is a former superhero and member of the Avengers who hit on hard times and now works as a detective in New York.'Luke Cage'
One of the most eagerly requested Marvel properties by fans, Luke Cage is a street-smart hero with unbreakable skin. He tied in heavily in the "Alias" comic-book series, later marrying and having a child with Jessica Jones. He also frequently partnered with...'Iron Fist'
A mystically powered Kung Fu expert and playboy billionaire named Danny Rand, Iron Fist has had a number of iterations through the years — though his most popular was working with Luke Cage as "Heroes for Hire," a team that sold their heroic expertise for money.'The Defenders'
This is the street equivalent of "The Avengers." Traditionally in the comics, The Defenders have been called the "non-team," with their membership ranging from Ghost Rider, Hulk, and Dr. Strange (all potential movie projects), to some of the characters you see above.Naturally, there are numerous questions that arise from the announcement, not least of which is whether these shows will tie into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the movies and ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.LD." Plus, given the ever-expanding number of shows, how much give and take will there be — or could there possibly be — from the casts?News, as they say, will continue to break on this.

 

[KingParappa]

and since its on netflix, I can binge watch when they drop... I'M SO READY

 

[rell826]

Beat me to it. As low as the budget is on Agents of SHIELD, I just have a feeling that these shows will get shafted in that department.

Thing is tho with the characters they chose does the budget have to be as high? I mean Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones don't need that big of a budget out the gate. I can't wait for that Defenders miniseries tho.

Not a high budget, but one that doesn't feel cheap. That's the vibe that I get from SHIELD. I don't know what the budget is for the Mortal Kombat web series, but they work with what they have and it looks great.

I get what you're saying. I honesty think thats the ABC side of Disney's doing and maybe Marvel knows that and that's why they are moving the rest to Netflix.

 

[Sir San Diego]

I'm hoping that the each series has a gritty feel. This is pretty surprising news. I'm also hoping that we see Blade, The Punisher and Ghostrider in some episodes and in the Defenders when it all comes together.

I'm looking forward to the casting of these new series on the hero and villain sides.

Unrelated: I recently purchased Howard The Duck and watched last night after not seeing it since I was a kid. I was surprised at how well done it was and think it would be dope if they brought him back out.

They have been showing this on Premium Channels lately and Lea Thompson was

That bedroom scene was nice (to see Lea) but oh so wrong on so many levels.

 

[Sir San Diego]

Yeah. I was actually watching with my gf and expressed my disappointment that he chickened, er... ducked out of that one. She was ready.
