andrasteAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
OK, that's it, I need to develop time travel. May is too far away!
I didn't think they would ever make an X-Men film more tailored to my interests than First Class, but there we are.
In addition to the obvious things I am excited about - Charles and Erik working together! CHARLES AND CHARLES HAVING A CONVERSATION! - I am really pleased to see Bishop. I know this film is going to have nine million characters, but I hope he gets a good part. And hey, is that Warparth?
*goes to check Wikipedia*
Oh, hey, it's Warpath! And Blink! And Sunspot!

Date: 2013-10-30 03:11 pm (UTC)(I mean, let's be honest, even on the off-chance the plot is a mess and the cast of thousands get two lines each, I am still going to walk out happy that Charles had a conversation with himself. Now I just want to see all the other past-and-future-selves talks with Erik and Raven in on the act ...)

Young Charles - Mystique
Erik - Erik (naturally)
Mystique - Young Erik (depending on whether or not this is post X3, not least so she can slap him along with old Erik. Mind you, maybe the mission is to make X3 imposssible!)
Old Charles - Young Erik
But mainly the Raven combinations because damm it, XMFC has made me so interested in the Charles and Raven sibling relationship, and I WANT MORE.

Date: 2013-11-01 09:29 am (UTC)Yeah, I really hope we get to see this. (Not that I don't also want Young Charles and Young Raven interacting. I hope canon some day gives us an explanation for how they went from the beach scene in First Class to the end of X2 ...)
Bryan Singer said recently in an interview somewhere that Days of Future Past is set ten years after First Class in the past and about ten years after X3 in the present. I do suspect alterations to the time line may have already happened, since Charles is alive but also still in his wheelchair. (I mean, if he were in a new body there'd probably be no reason for that.) Ten years seems like a really long time for Charles to sit in the mansion being angry, so I'm wondering if something else has happened since to explain his awful mood and ill-advised fashion choices ...

I imagine that Nixon getting elected (twice!) tested Charles' moral resolve about mind-controlling people in Washington rather severely.

Date: 2013-10-30 02:46 am (UTC)Haha, no, it's just that Kurt was always my favourite, so I always hope to see him.
But the sheer amount of time-travel tropes-- I swear I've read fic like this. XD It's always fun when the canon does things like that.

You and my friend [Unknown site tag] agree on that *g*. Alas, I hear that Alan Cumming hated the make-up, and they seem reluctant to do recasts of the main roles. (A decision I'm torn about, because I thought he was a good Kurt, but I might prefer having another actor to never seeing Nightcrawler again.)

I kept expecting a Police Telephone Box to appear somewhere. (Mind you, I'm not sure if having the Doctor around would make solving this problem easier or harder for the X-Men ...)

Date: 2013-10-31 07:42 am (UTC)Still missing Kurt though, although I gather the make up was beyond Alan Cummings willpower checks.
So midnight screening it is then? :D

Date: 2013-11-01 09:34 am (UTC)Now with extra Charles!
Also flailing for more movieverse mutants too. Also Wolverine. I know he's overused but I genuinely like movie and comics Wolvie.
Yeah, I really do like Logan and look forward to seeing how he handles this new job.

At least you'll always have Evo! He's a lot easier to use in animated adaptations, that's for sure.
So midnight screening it is then? :D
If not sooner! That screening of First Class started at 8:30 on a Wednesday, although I'm still not sure how. I think it was officially a preview.

Date: 2013-11-05 02:24 pm (UTC)Speaking of way back when, now I want to pay a visit to my younger self and tell her that the prospect of a movie with all the Charles Xavier will someday make her clap her hands and squee.
