Comic fans can curse this film all they want, but its an entertaining flick on its own. It had a lot going for itself, The return of James and Micheal as Charles and Eric, return of Quicksilver and the OP-est of OP scenes which was the coolest, the story was rooted in family and mentorship which is literally what X-Men have always been about. The score was epic, and the story tied nicely at the end. Plus, the closing of this film is the most fitting finale that could have been and that is the hill I'd die on. Those beautiful suits, and the conversation between Charles and Eric with the call back to the seniors, and the last shot closing on the most accurate professor X look of all times! The problem is Infinity war was coming around at the same time and hence nothing seemed satisfactory after all, specially since the last film was DOFP. I'd come back to this film whenever I watch X Men in the future, and I am sure history will be kinder to it. Edited to say: Not every villain needs to be there for 5 movies, and not every story arc needs to be done in 10 movies.

And EssexCorp is not "the little guy from the last film"( *Bolivar Trask,* deftly played by Peter Dinklage)..lol A villain who usually prefers to act through agents and manipulation, *Mr. Sinister* was born *Nathaniel Essex* in Victorian London. A human scientist, Essex is inspired by the work of his contemporary Charles Darwin, predicts the rise of mutants, and becomes obsessed with engineering humanity into a perfect race of superhumans. He also gave himself powers. Mister Sinister can manipulate his powerful psionic energy in various ways, including *telepathy and telekinesis.* However, one of the most devastating uses of this energy comes in the form of powerful concussive blasts that he generates from his hands.

[@Aaron-io8vw]

Yeah, in the comics Magneto had three children Twins, Pietro(Quicksilver) and Wanda (scarlet Witch)with Serbian Romani(sometimes called Gypsies) mutant Natyala "Magda" Maximoff who Magento married in the comics. she like Magneto was a survivor of the Concentration camps as the Roma where also targeted by the Nazis for extermination. she had similar powers to her daughter Wanda. They where attacked while living in Eastern Europe,.Magda was killed and Eric believed his children had died as well only to be reunited later after the.twins had grown up. He also has another daughter Lorna Dane(aka Polaris) from a later affair with a woman named Suzzane.Dane when he was living in America. she does not know he is her father till she is a adult after she had already been a student of Professor Xavier. Lorna has similar powers to her father and Interestingly she has been in a on and off again relationship with Alex Summers in the comics since they where teenage members of the team X-Factor . The film's switched Scott(Cyclops) and Alex's birth order. In the comics Cyclops is the oldest of the three Summers brothers. they have a younger brother Gabriel aka Vulcan who was born in the Shiar empire after their Parents where abducted by aliens(yes the summer's family have one isn't he weirder backstroke in comics) . Their father Christopher Summers becomes a Space Pirate leading a crew called the Star Jammers

If the characters in this and the previous prequels become the characters in the first three X-Men films but in this new timeline, then Phoenix should still be a split personality of Jean’s. Not the cosmic Phoenix force that they retcon it into. That’s what always confused me about the timeline(s) in these movies. All the damn retcon-ing.

[@jlhanlon1980]

Made her eye candy, like Mystique? With the exception of Mystique walking out of Cerebro, most people have never looked at her as eye candy in that way (that I know). One of the biggest complaints about the original movies for X men fans is how Mystique is in them too much, so I don't know where you're getting that from. As to Psylocke, she's always been eye candy, that's how she looks in the comics. I thought they did a good job representing her, she fought really well, and she was able to momentarily halt Apocalypse. They only made one more TEAM Xmen film, so they only squandered one opportunity. She is a lesser known X-Men from the blue team. Don't get me wrong, I like her, and I wouldn't mind seeing her in other movies, but her characterization was on point. Besides, there are a ton of other characters that they have not represented or slighted.

As of 2023 Nightcrawler's birth origin is that Mystique became male in order to have a child with Irene Adler (Destiny). Also, another change is that Magneto is no longer the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. The Essex reference is NOT about Bolivar Trask, the creator of the Sentinels. Psylocke and Angel were members of the X-Men. Angel was one of the original 5 members in the comics, along with Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Beast, and Iceman. Psylocke was a team member later.

Using these old memories she can create a new life and do things different and create a new timeline.

The "I'm your son" thing could've worked I feel. Magneto loses his family, goes on a rampage, finds out he still has family, chills out, that's an arc. You could even play it off funny with Quicksilver where it's awkward. And obviously your daughter just died, and your dad is a mutant terrorist, it's gonna be awkward and not immediate hugs and opening up. But it'd have been a good nudge for Magneto to remind him that life has more in store for him. We could've had a whole flashback for Quicksilver's backstory and build the story around this concept of family. But we just did the bare minimum of casually mentioning it and then chickening out from the pay-off.

[@sproductionsinc]

I think that would've really helped Magneto. I was bummed they didn't use it.

[@forlornhauntedghost]

I'm still pissed they never followed through on that 😩 Guess that's why we have fanfiction, I've read quite a few good ones that have the reveal 😁👌

Too damn bad they couldn't legally involve Wanda, though. :/

[@kedardeshpande2330]

The power of Apocalypse which enhanced Prof. Xavier gave him the power to transfer his own consciousness to other human beings... Thats why we can see in X men: Last Stand post credit Xavier in a hospital where his original body was decimated by Jean Grey....

Quicksilver being Magneto's son is not a "move" in this movie, Kristen. He's his son in the comics all along. Along with his sister, Magneto's daughter, Wanda. Yes, that Wanda, the Scarlet Witch.

[@thebayisinthearea9045]

Ally Sheedy (the breakfast club) is their teacher, classic.

[@blueroninstudios]

Psylocke was underutilized. Striker being in this was jsut kind of a whole plot detour, I never liked that either, it was jsut a setup to see Wolverine kick ass, meet the kids, and then dip. His cameo in First Class was short but so much more memorable! Also, they pretty much killed Angel/Archangel. Warren's still alive in the comics, and he's even got his organic wings back at some point, I think. Having him be some drunken pretty boy who cage fights as a captured mutant .... my nitpicks for this movie could go on, but it has its moments, Fassbender's and McAvoy's acting being the highlights. Also, I will always love Nightcrawler and Beast.

[@awall1701]

I remember getting an X-Men annual in the early 80s which had Havoc in the storyline. Apparently Havok had been around from the late 60s but could not tell you if he appeared often.

[@futuramayeah]

Kristen and Achara, in the early 90s there was a comic book called Legion , about a character, they made a tv show about him on FX, and in that comic book, he went crazy and went back in time and killed his father. so if his father died before he could form the Xmen, they never fought and defeated Apocalypse, so for a year in marvel comics, all comic books were cancelled, and they just did comic books from an alternate dimension, where the Xmen never existed and Apocalypse had taken over, it was called, the AGE OF APOCALYPSE.

[@technofilejr3401]

Now that or a true Age of Ultron would be something to see in film.

[@technofilejr3401]

19:41, To a certain extent Apocalypse thinks of all the other mutants has his children. So he can be a bit heavy handed in what he thinks they should do. I wish the producers had taken a page from the Avengers movie and made him taller (like Thanos is shown to be). Normally Apocalypse is 7 foot tall or more. Oscar Isaac the actor portraying Apocalypse is only 5 foot 9. In the many lives of Moria McTaggart shown there is a distant future in which Apocalypse has been accepted into the mutant fold and he leads the X-Men. He is so respected, beloved and revered by the squad that even Wolverine calls him sir. On a secret mission in this distant future, his tremendously long life finally ends fighting off three Nimrod class Sentinels by himself to allow the other X-Men escape. The squad is upset to see him go but in the comics Apocalypse had already said "I've already lived forever. But if forever comes to an end let me fall in battle surrounded by my defeated enemies and my sword wet"

[@Reddy315]

Nathaniel Essex alias Mr. Sinister, alas what could have been! Instead we got Dark Phoenix. 🤦‍♂😑😒

[@luvaboy772]

46:58 Psylocke is another telepathic mutant also with psionic powers. She can summon weapons thru her hands. But I believe her part was cut down in this movie because Olivia Munn's performance probably wasn't great.

Actually now according to the comics Mystique is Nightcrawler's father. Don't ask.

Fun fact! In most comic lores. Scott does not shoot lasers out of his eyes. His eyes are portals to a different dimension that's just FULL of a type of powerful energy. And when he opens his eyes that energy shoots into our dimension! Ô_ô I always though that was badass! That's also why he can't control it. His eyes just, are portals. He can't make them not be portals.

Bryan Singer should've left the franchise after DOFP Because since he already gave everything he had with DOFP, it was a lot harder for him to outdo himself again

[@PerilPopUp]

Noticed how Apocalypse never powered up Magneto but just gave him advice and revive his traumas? That means he was able to do that from the very beginning, but he either just never thought or realized he could

[@PALMERUSA21]

This guy is so powerful he sees the true potential in all Mutants Power that they didn’t know they possessed. No wonder Magneto in the Third X-Men Movie 2006 told Jean she can do anything she wants to with her power he got it from this guy when he was younger.

[@jamesoblivion]

This is where the 'set each film a decade after the last' thing really starts to catch up. We're supposed to believe Alex Summers is 20 years older than his brother Scott, which just seems highly unlikely for a variety of reasons. It almost feels like they immediately killed off Alex just so we wouldn't have time to think about how they look so close in age, despite First Class taking place in 1962, and Apocalypse in 1983.

[@ChrisTheAspergerGuy]

It has a few flaws, but this one is a much better movie than a lot of people give it credit for. First Class, Days Of Future Past, and Apocalypse are a pretty solid trilogy.

14:56 ironically both Ancient Egyptian and Egyptian Arabic are distantly related belong to two branches of the Afroasiatic language family. Though obviously nobody has heard what Ancient Egyptian sounds like because its writing only had consonants, no vowels, which is why the language in the film is merely an approximation.

[@EpicDave]

Kristen has now seen a good majority of the X-Men MOVIES. I really think Kristen should watch X-Men 97. She'd see a more comic representation of what the X-Men really are and I really think she'll appreciate and love the show. Achara would also be the best watch partner since she's already seen it and can give any clarification. Especially as a second watch for her.

[@PALMERUSA21]

I honestly thought that Quicksilver was Stryker’s son that would’ve been intriguing Stryker having two sons instead of one and both of them are Mutants that would’ve been a cool angle they could’ve gone.
