What about poor Polaris, their oft-neglected sister? Just... magnets too?
Oh, I loved the scene too. It's very well-shot and executed. It just makes zero sense from a storytelling perspective and is 100% unfaithful to a character I grew up reading. It's the equivalent of saying "so Wolverine can heal through anything? Let's dissolve him to one single cell of goo and watch him regenerate!"…
It was a fun movie and I do think it's good, but the more I think about it, the more I realize the story wasn't really that good at all. lol
Harder comic book guy here... and I ADMIT it's a petty complaint in my first statement.
Oh yes, this was coming. One of the dumbest scripts I've seen in a superhero film. So many contrived plot devices to get the set pieces they want:
Quicksilver's scene's were shot great and very very entertaining, but I completely agree that the extent of his power was way overblown and absurd. "I'll just push these bullets traveling at 1700mph out of the way because I'm going at 15648741mph" (I just smashed my # pad before anyone tries to argue his actual…
This is SUCH a "comic book guy" thing to be bothered about, and I know the X-men films really don't give a damn about being accurate to the comics (or giving mutants like Kitty random time-travelling powers out of the blue), but EVERYONE loves the Quicksilver sequence and I think it's neat...
How is Sid considered a bad person? He took what he thought were inanimate objects and did whatever he wanted with them. Toys are meant to be played with however you want. If Sid is a bad guy, then every person in that world with a Blow up doll is considered a rapist. Sid got nothing on them.
Maybe it's the pacing. It's more of a cerebral, character-driven story than an all-out-action-packed extravaganza, although it has those moments. As far a pure storytelling, for me, this is Jenkins' best work.
Read These Comics to Prepare for the Next Five Years of Marvel Movies But Don't Get Too Attached to Them So You Won't Be Another One of Those People Who Complain How Much They Changed Things On The Movie.
Christopher Priest's run on Black Panther is one of my favorite comics series (he also tore it up on Deadpool way back when). And yeah, for Inhumans that Jae Lee miniseries "Inhumans" is a must-read.
I can buy anyone as a scientist.
Saying that "you never got the appeal" makes it sound like you failed to comprehend what people liked about him besides his race.
"It seems like black people only care about characters that are black..."
Good stuff but everyone needs to chill on the Marvel dickriding and DC bashing. I swear to god the movies have become the new version of the elementary school playground with everyone on Twitter crapping bricks on DC while giving Marvel the ultimate benefit of the doubt. I agree that Marvel's movie lineup seems…
I just listed why he's appealing. A man who pushes the limits of being human and balances his duties as a king and a "superhero."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…
