Hey dude can you do x-men first class?

[Geekvolution]

@SomethingDelirious I will down the road-- I don't do critical analysis of movies newer than two years old.

where in the movie was Wolverine past with Sabertooth hinted at?

[Geekvolution]

@MrHotSteph He looks like he might recognize Wolverine's dog tags.

Great stuff there with the reviews. Keep it up, but just so you know- the X-Men leather stage in the comics of lack of colour was in an alternate Marvel Universe, found in Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spider-Man as examples. To my knowledge, the merry mutants only wear colourful costumes in the main, original Marvel Universe.

Thanks for the praise and also for the fact-checking. I wasn't reading X-Men at the time, but every time I saw a panel here or there, that's what I saw. Didn't realize that was only Ultimate. Thanks!

Wait how did Magneto know about rogue’s ability?

I don't think Wolverine loves her Per se, I think honestly he just wanted to fuck her at first that's all.

I like this movie more than Spider-man the movie.

when storm tell magneto that kelly died and magneto tells her if she is sure thats what she saw, i would have liked to see a follow up in the sequal, like what i he survived and his mutation turned him into something else. what would you have liked to happen to him and what do you think.

The interesting aspect and ironic one is that Magneto first felt some distance from humans due to Hitler's Holocaust and the horror that followed, but throughout the film, he himself turns into a version of Hitler, he believes he's doing right and saving his own kind, while(in Magneto's case)almost killing off an entire race. Its a great story being told and makes you not fully hate Magneto because you see how he was treated as a child and can sympathize

I didn't read 2much into Wolvie's "interests" in Jean Grey. I took it as a 'glorified (adult) crush'. and the bad boy factor of it is the fact that he is completely unapologetically aware that she is taken and not only taken but taken by a team member AND if that were not rude enough a man that actually saved his life upon the Xmens intro. The costumes *sighs, I dont know, they weren't horrendous, I like the fact that they wrote a Wolvie joke about them in. They SHOULDa been more personalized

I've got to point out that it's Ian McEllin, not Ian McLellin
