That movie sucked, just like the other X-travesties.

He wasn't in X2. He was in X1 having an interview on a talk show and he was still in his human form. First Class is definitely a reboot, and a much needed one at that.

...........

The other big one is the presence and age of Alex Summers - isn't he Scott's twin/ similar age brother? That somewhat breaks continuity.

I guess if all my figures were pieces of crap then they could all be 1st class .

I would have loved to have seen them in there, but you can't hold the X-Movies to comic continuity. You can't hold ANY comic movies to comic contunity. Comic movies have to be adapted for a much wider audience then the fanboys/girls.

The problem is that Fox wanted "other mutants" we hadn't really seen since this isn't a "reboot". So we can't have the original comic X-Men or Hellfire Club because this is set in the 60's and most of them wouldn't be alive yet if we're following the timeline of the other X-Movies. But the finished product screams "reboot" with all the continuity issues and changes so I assume Fox said "Whatever, It's a good movie, contunuity be damned! We'll just quietly reboot the franchise without the reboot tag so that people don't get upset or angry".

All that being said, I was very pleased with the movie and look forward to the next X-Film since we've proven that they can be done well (I had lost hope after X3 ... ).

And yes, I did sing "Footloose" to myself anytime Kevin Bacon was on the screen. Great villain. GREAT DANCER.

Fixed.
filler

There is a blonde girl transforming into cristal in wolverine but she is never called Emma as i recall, she is just said to be wolvie's girlfriend sister.

It happens a lot later...

Yes, and they were different actors too.
But it still could have happen and not been on screen

In the comics, Xavier & Magneto are friends, then ennemies again, then friends again... he could have helped him built it later
Or he could have help him move it from the SHIELD to his house (that's building too)

yes that's the inconsistency i noted (the only one i noted at first)
ignoring the cameo seems logical to me, and concentrating on the main plot

With her memory erased, she could have been fired from the CIA and start a new life somewhere else. We don't know if she is a scientist for sure in x3, and i think we don't know in first class what were her studies before being in CIA

he could be storm mother

Havok could be Scott father

Sean sur is Syrin father too

I was surprised how well they made it feel and consistent all together.

Perhaps they missed some details, but most of all, they "filled in the blanks" and made it believable. Especially to those who aren't (contrary to us) misleaded by what we already know about the originals (or ultimates) comics

Yes, i do agree

I do believe the Silver Fox character calls Emma by name once or twice in the movie. That and Moira is too young in X3 to be the same character in FC.

It breaks comic continuity, but that isn't the same as the Marvel X-movie universe. We don't know Alex's relationship to Scott in the movies.

And he isn't Scott's twin, he is Scott's younger brother in 616.

I don't like the X-Mens that much but i do like your article!

Wrong about Hank's first appearance. He was on a tv in s bar in human form debating with someone named "Mr. Shaw". Don't remember if it was the first or second film, but it was in there. The actor that played him was the same guy that did his voice in the 90s cartoon.

As for Xavier walking again when they visit Jean, I've got a feeling that they could tie that into a possible "truce" period that could happen after the events of this film but before the prelude of X3. Maybe Magneto could have "repair" Chuck's damage (like Xorn did in the comics) and then redamaged him later. If handled correctly, this could pan out in a credible way.

As far as Havok goes, that could be setting up for a a different relationship with Cyke a la Ultimate continuity where he is the older bro. He could turn out to be Cyke's father for the sake of the movie universe.

This looks like it'd be a fun team to play. If I tried it out I'd

I would play GSX Xavier on this team (If its based on the final battle)
Mostly because he did'nt do all that much moving during combat. He just stayed in the blackbird (or starting area) and used his powers to help Erik take on Shaw.
As far as I can see the way GSX Xavier is played is pretty much the way he faught in the movie.
Just my take on things

The film is the better.
I prefer:
Magneto 189
Professor X 123
Beast 95
Mystique 86
Banshee Vet 90
Havok Vet 44
Darwin (Gideon) 85
Angel (archangel) 86
