Honest Trailers - X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past is basically Terminator 2 with mutants. Screen Junkies explains the plot similarities: "An indestructible bad ass gets sent back into time without his clothes to protect a vulnerable young man with long hair who will one day become a leader and stop a shape shifter from destroying the future." Yep. I still enjoyed it! The following replies are approved. To see additional replies that are pending approval, click Show Pending. Warning: These may contain graphic material. The Quicksilver thing is so true. That was truly a head-scratcher moment when they sent him home. I mean really? With Quicksilver, they could have shaved off an entire hour of the movie and defeated Magneto several times over. He's so OP, he shouldn't even exist. And of course, everything I just said is exactly why they sent him home. It's still stupid though. Granted, I'm not calling Quicksilver stupid. He looked stupid in the promos but he's by far the best thing in this movie. 

I'm hoping Quicksilver in Avengers 2 is just as awesome but at the same time, I hope he has some limitations to his powers otherwise, we'll have the same exact problem here. Completely agree. I don't see any real difference between Days of Future Past and Last Stand. Neither make a lick of sense and they have the same finale. Since they were written by the same guy, it shouldn't have surprised me. "With Quicksilver, they could have shaved off an entire hour of the movie and defeated Magneto several times over." You obviously don't understand how narrative works. This is like saying "well, since Superman can spin the Earth backwards and reverse time, he should do this with every villain he encounters, stopping them before they start". This is called "NOT FUN". Well, the obvious hand wave answer is, maybe they didn't feel right involving a kid— regardless of his ridiculously OP superpowers —in what was about to go down when he wasn't actually 'one of them' and thus not directly involved... Nevermind the fact that they just had him break into the Pentagon. (The kitchen scene is easily one of— if not THE —best scenes in that movie.) And who knows? Maybe it was Magneto's idea to send him away... After all, he did look like he came to a realization or remembered something after he thought a second about what Peter said in the elevator. (Magneto is the twins' biological father, that is canon. We may yet see the 'XCU' and MCU cross over completely.) I love how writers over the years explained the attitude problem he grows up to have as being a direct result of his powers... Have you ever stood in the post office behind a woman with 20 packages who wants to know every single way she can send them to Africa? It drives you nuts! You think to yourself, "Why do I have to put up with this? These people are so slow, they're costing me time, and it's so damned irritating. I wish I didn't have to put up with this." Now - imagine that the entire world was like that... except for you.
