Jay 37,373 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 P.P.S.: This is the first time I don't understand a damn thing about a post-credits scene in a superhero movie. What the fuck was that all about?What happened in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,018 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Actually, Professor Xavier comes back at the end of The Last Stand.Jason:In a post-credits scene, people are bowing and chanting to En Sabah Nur as he creates the Egyptian Pyramids while his Four Horsemen stand in the distance. That "musical" moment is also in X2.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,018 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Actually, Professor Xavier comes back at the end of The Last Stand.Yeah, I know. But his body was still destroyed. In the The Last Stand post-credits scene, his mind is in someone else's body. So how did he get his body back? Is it explained at the end of The Wolverine?No.One little detail I really loved is how they alluded to Quicksilver's parentage. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if even Magneto could control their movement with his power, could he prevent them, at all times, from attacking him?

crocodile 8,018 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 No if he's played by Kick-Ass with the same kind of charisma as in Godzilla.Speaking of which, was I the only person who found it odd that Scarlet witch and Quicksilver are married in Gareth Evans'film?

Brónach 1,302 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 No.Btw, out of what I've seen, I might prefer the X-Men Quicksilver. But we still have to see what Whedon does with him a Scarlet Witch, given that they were added because he was annoyed that everyone had punchy powers.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 X-Men is the best film this summer season so far. Easily surpassing Godzilla Spidy and even the Winter Soldier. It's a great piece of filmmaking considering the juggling of so many actors effects and storylines. Most impressive is the cinematography. It is brilliantly used to make the 70's unique. Love that ending. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film is supposed to tie everything together, there is only so many characters story can serve. It was never to be any different.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
