X-Men: Days of Future Past random info dump thread

he tried to kill her and she felt betrayed

made less sense that he shot HER tbh

The plot is just Terminator 2 which I am fine with. They even had the time traveler wake up nude!

Haha, yes!

Wished the future-set scenes, and numerous other conspicuous FX sequences, weren't so butt-ugly. Like, even when I'm watching this at home in two dimensions, I know that I'm watching something that was made for 3D.

The Terminator came out after the original story though! Cameron might've got the idea from Claremont and Byrne for all we know.

Not the nude part though, actually, n/m

Maisie Williams was just cast as Wolfsbane in the upcoming New Mutants movie (which I somehow only heard about for the first time this week). That might be the most perfectly spot-on X-Men casting decision since Kelsey Grammer's brief tenure as Beast.

oh hell yeah

And as a huge X-Men fan can I just say, as it sounds like they're going with the old school roster, that I'm 1000000000x more excited about a New Mutants movie than I have been about any of the X-Men movies. Seriously, if Warlock is in this thing I might pretty much just die.

my greatest wish for this is that maisie williams plays rahne with the same godawful scottish accent that claremont used to write for her

Och, ye cannae wish for any sooch thing, wee bairn!

this is maisie williams' big chance to carve out a space as the james doohan of the x-men franchise

i've lived in scotland for 36 years and i've yet to meet anyone who has this accent

"mysel'"

if Shipp is in this, does that mean it's gonna take place in 1988 or thereabouts?
also i'll crack up if they bring in Cable to connect this to Deadpool 2

Well, I guess they're also making an X-Force movie in the wake of Deadpool's massive success? I assume the X-Force and New Mutants films are separate things, anyway.

Och, ye cannae wish for any sooch thing, wee bairn!

ahahaa i was seriously about to type "och, th' poor wee lonely bairns," which iirc is re: the life of young techno-organic entities on warlock's planet

Dos vedanya, mein freund.

i feel like we should poll claremont's x-men accents

hahahaha. generic southern one (texas, mississippi, gyawgyah, whatever) is the greatest imho.

mais non ma chere, it's surely ragin' cajun

Gombeet, ze Rayzhon Cayzhon, aw haw haw, mes amis.

possibly Claremont's worst writing trait

altho for some reason I like it when Dave Sim did it

My Batroc-ization of Gambit's dialogue is a reminder that Claremont's accents could be seen as relatively restrained in comparison to those employed elsewhere in the Marvel universe.

Well, I guess they're also making an X-Force movie in the wake of Deadpool's massive success? I assume the X-Force and New Mutants films are separate things, anyway.

I am purposely avoiding searching out more info on this X-Force movie so as to keep alive the hope that this is the Milligan version.

I will do all that I can to avoid dashing your hopes on the proverbial rocks, tovarisch.

Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane has been debunked by Fox. Should've known it was 2 good 2B true.

ach cannae even

Won't anyone think of the wee bairns

been reading Excalibur on Marvel Unlimited, lots of Claremont-style britishisms

Oh, Excalibur is just the best. Although I honestly hold the Alan Davis solo run in the highest esteem.

what are bairns

baby

children, term used in northern england and most of scotland

Hmm...not sure. We know that they're wee, and occasionally puir, and that their plight sometimes induces an 'och!' in passersby. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess, ye great bloody spaleen.

$250, same as downtown

xp oh ok. so it is a real word and not just something Claremont made up

Claremont would never, you take that back.

Does "bairn" come from Scandinavian languages? The Swedish word for "kid" is "barn".

It does indeed.

new meaning to "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn"
