    The way they made it sound and from the pictures I've seen you're going to be upset.

    Also agreed with others Fassbender is great. I like McAvoy as well.

    Mystique is a boring character, JLaw doesn't make her even slightly more interesting, and they **** on the comics and cartoons to give her a bigger and bigger role each time.

    Xmen: hunger games part 4; the hungeringing.

    I like JLaw, she's great. The whole Mystique angle has been milked dry. You have an A-list actor in a supporting role so they try to manufacture a story around her.

    The problem with Magneto and Mystique is that they are not suppose to be 'villians' as much as anti heros.

    Mystique could be prominant in this film *IF* done right
    [That would mean he working for the government as Freedom Force
    which means bringing in PYRO, AVALANCHE, BLOB and her girlfriend DESTINY]
    but
    I know they won't do that

    They *should* need all hands on deck to take on APOCY
    but
    again .. .I know they won't do that right

    I will watch it
    but
    I am expecting disappointment but hoping for better

    BTW - I like Rebecca Romijn's Mystique a whole lot better

    Which is why fox, if they had their wish, will pay her the extra cheddar and we'll see a mystique origins movie in 2021...

    Totally agree. JLaw is not a great action hero, IMHO. And Mystique needs to be fairly silent.

    As an interesting minor character, Mystique's fine. As a lead role, not so much.

    But those without knowledge of the comics might feel differently.

    I used to love that comic. But probably no movie until there's a population boom in the Great White North. Maybe work on a remake of Strange Brew first, eh?

    Apocalypse looks a little less ridiculous than what we had seen previously.

    That clip of him growing is impressive.

    Agree. Maybe using really dark lighting will be key, LOL.

    I hope J Law doesn't get shoved down our throats although the trailer made her look like the leader of the group. :eek:

    Really looking forward to this. I'm guessing no Hugh Jackman in this one?

    I think that's exactly what will happen. She looks like the savior in that trailer. I'm guessing she will shapeshift into him and kill him. Just like the sentinels in dofp. Please just give this franchise back to marvel. I miss the x-men.

    Oh man you nerds get to have all the good stuff. If you think that trailer was less than stellar, maybe you need to cut back on some hobbies. That **** was badass. I don't want to hear it.

    I mentioned this earlier, but yeah -- they made her "one of the leaders" of the xmen.

    Pretty annoying and stupid.

    With that said the trailer looks very good, I'm just concerned there will be a ton of plotholes, and even more JLaw just like the last one. (this one looks no different)

    I'll watch, but I really wish Marvel had never sold them the rights to the Xmen. We probably would have gotten that movie before Iron Man. Alas...

    Nah, my hobbies are fine. The movie looks good also, I just don't like how Fox/Bryan Singer ****s on my childhood.

    Meh... send in Wolverine. He'll fix everything on the quick.

    Also, we need more JLaw.
