Title: X-Men: Apocalypse
Post by: MetalDog on July 12, 2015, 06:27:31 PM
This, and future posts, will contain spoilers.  If you do not want to know about X-Men: Apocalypse, out May 27, 2016, don't come in here.












































Ok.  Just found out that Olivia Munn is playing Psylocke.  How awesome is THAT!!  She's not in this trailer, but here is a little taste.





And the Comic Con panel revealed that Magneto, Storm, Angel and Psylocke will be Apocalypse's Horsemen.  MORE f*&^%$#g awesome!!!

Ok, was I watching an X-Men trailer or a Stargate trailer.

Never watched Stargate, but, it was definitely not what I'm used to.

QFT.  Most of that "official" trailer was old footage from the Stargate movie, along with some of the old X-Men ones.

Yep.  Nothing new there at all.

Since "official" in the video title is not capitalized, it's kind of a tip-off that this is not 'official' in any sense of the word. The Stargate bits make it even more likely. Probably just some butthead fanboi created their own trailer, which happens a lot on YouTube, and are trying to pass it off as something it's not.

Here's a site with some crappy cellphone recording of the X-Men trailer (and Deadpool also) at Comic-Con:

1.  there's no way in hell that's official, not with the squad from Stargate in the sand dunes

2.  the very first, most obvious clue that this wasn't legit is the opening green screen:  no X-men movie ever was, or ever will be, rated G

It's a fan-made trailer, but legit trailers do get an MPAA rating that doesn't necessarily match the rating of the full film.

Oh, I know, but in that case the green-screen says the trailer has been approved for all audiences.  This one said the film was rated G.  You don't get to put that on the trailer unless the film actually is rated G.

Ok.  Now that I've looked it over again, I see what you guys are talking about.  Sorry for the confusion.  However, the cast info is solid.  Including OLIVIA MUNN AS PSYLOCKE!!!  Anyone?
Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse

Olivia Munn should be my wife.
Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse
Post by: MetalDog on July 13, 2015, 06:59:14 PM
Especially considering she's hooked up with Aaron Rodgers.  And as we all know from reading NFL QB's on Facebook, A-Rod bats for the other team.  So, ipso facto, she should be wife to ONE of us.  :)
Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse
Post by: MetalDog on July 13, 2015, 07:39:26 PM
It says there is a video included, but I don't see one.  The mental image works just fine though ;)

...those were strangely unflattering costumes considering who was modeling them. How could anyone design a Harley Quinn costume that makes Olivia Munn look like she weighs 200 pounds of not-muscle?!

Playing with the furry costume's... accessories... that... what. (around 6:30)

Those costumes look like very average cosplay by today's standards. Apoc might be better than average -- but if I had walked up on him outside of context I would have never thought he was Apocalypse.

Here we go. Trailer looks good. Though Jubilee...shudder (the Asian chick in the yellow raincoat for a brief second or two...though she's not Asian in the comics...oh well, whatever). Jubilee is one of the most useless mutants in the Marvel universe. :)

Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse
Post by: MetalDog on December 11, 2015, 11:28:23 PM
I was pretty sure Jubilee was Asian.  Been a long time since I read any comics, so, I'm sure JP will be along shortly to back me up/shut me down.

Jubilee: always Chinese-American, less obviously so in some continuities or art-styles. Asian actress played her for two cameos in the three original X-Men movies. Currently also a vampire. (...uh, presumably not in the coming movie.)

Jubilee can detonate any matter at the sub-atomic level with a high degree of finesse.

And is also one of the most useless mutants in the Marvel Universe. ;) Mainly because she's afraid of her own power, so she drastically limits it, even when cutting loose might be helpful. (i.e., she'd be a living weapon of mass destruction who could destroy almost any threat, up to and beyond things like Galactus and the Celestials, with little effort, and so would be a story-breaking power if the writers didn't nerf it. In alternate futures / continuities, this is sometimes played with.)
Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse

hmm, three paragraphs.  LOL.

The Marvel Universe Zen is strong in this one.
Title: Re: X-Men: Apocalypse
Post by: JasonPratt on December 17, 2015, 12:16:45 PM
I figured if I didn't offer three paragraphs, there would be disappointment.  >:D

That however just about exhausts my knowledge of Jubilee (the Chinese girl who can shoot fireworks because she's Chinese, duh.)
