I still think Singer is, hands down, the best director at utilizing and capturing his superhero characters' power sets. The things he's done with Nightcrawler, Quicksilver, the Sentinel battle in the DoFP future, everything Magneto does, and Wolverine's berserker mode in X2. All so, so good. His fight choreography's…

It's because they've toyed with the characters more than most of these other movies, at least on the surface level. Things like Havok being older than Cyclops, or having two distinctly different Warren Worthington IIIs. People feel like the movies are disrespecting the characters they loved from the comics and not…

The not-so-subtle possible racism is also uncomfortable.

To be fair, there has been comparatively little destruction in the X-Movies. The first one ended with the Statue of Liberty needing repairs, and the second ended by destroying an isolated military base in the Alaskan wilderness. The third really only screwed with the traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge, and in First…

I hope the new X-kids are solid in this movie and they stick around, even if the universe is otherwise rebooted after this. Let's see the whole Phoenix Saga play out, and we can put the Emma stuff in there from decades later, maybe mixing and matching with the Hellfire Club stuff from the same period, to really put…

Considering Famke Janssen originated the character, it would be in character for her accent to be dodgy.

And it was a sound choice at the time, considering she's the only character besides Wolverine who would fit in a prequel movie set in the 60s. And that the sequel was an adaptation of Days of Future Past, where she played a major role in the comics, allowed them to continue that through-line in a thoughtful way. It…

Bring back Sheriff Lobot!

Oh! Maybe we can get an update on the classic poem "Los Lobos!"

A shame they already cast Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

I agree, that might have been the smarter play, but I don't think it mattered one way or the other. Especially with Scot wanting to go for the super idol.

For whatever reason, though, people always seemed to underestimate Wentworth. Maybe it was leftover from her first season where her dad sealed her fate fairly early, but she was seen as less of a threat than Anna was overall, I think.

It's hard to tell based on the edit, but I think it's possible she tried to sow those seeds before everyone could get to like Tai. It seemed like she went to work immediately. Which, yeah, is a major red flag and big risk to take, but that was probably her best bet against Tai if she read it that quickly. She couldn't…

That does make more sense, actually.

Broke Bacchus Mountain*

Obama?

There are so many better wastes of one's time.

Ha-ha! That's fucked! Or I'm just jealous of both possibilities. I have to say, I am very much looking forward to seeing how he responds to Debbie's feminine wiles. If I recall correctly, she said she can bring most men to their knees. But Debbie says lots of things.

I repeat: Ugh. Whatever.

Ugh. Whatever.
