X-men: Days of Future Past, thoughts (Spoilers)

[The Fury]

It would be more of alternate dimensions than Time Travel per se. Nate Grey was born from the genetic tampering of Sinister, and Cable is Earth 616's counterpart of Nate Grey.

If the next movie is centered on the events of Age of Apocalypse, or takes cues from it, then it would be feasible for Sinister to appear in this movie and set up the events for the future X-Force movie (which is slated to release on 2016). Also from the early synopsis of the movie:

"A time-traveler assembles a team of mutants in order to prevent the wrecked future he came from."

So cable is set to appear in the movie, and it's hinted that Deadpool will be as well, since it's gonna take cues from the comics where they team up, Apocalypse Solution and Cable&X-Force (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3053198/)

True, althought based on release times, they'd both be out the same year. A shame to relegate Sinister to a pin off. :P

I know nothing of X-men Apocalypse mind you and would prefer to remain unaware. But alternate realities would be confusing to the general public. In Marvel terms (until very recent made up bull crap by Bendis and his idiotcy) when a person time travels instantly that timeline is they arrive to is changed (or in how it's meant to work, they jump one reality), that person was not present in the original timeline so what happened that is bad occured, their existance would alter that. Else what would be the point in going back?

Because of this X-men have like 15 different alternate futures, the Avengers have their own set as well, they are futures based on the current situation and if a time traveller comes back to alter things, their free will means any action has changed things. If they travel into the future, they usually either travel directly on the timeline they are in (their arrival in the future hasn't happened yet so their free will can't change something that hasn't happened) or back one reality to their messed up future, still messed up.

What this film seemed to try and do is keep it consistant, no distant alternate futures, just one timeline that can be altered. The problem is, that synopsis is too close to what we just saw, isn't it? 

 

Side note, I hated the newer X-force stuff. All of it. Making good characters into cold murders, plots that didn't make any sense, far too much time travel. The real Apocalypse hasn't been seen since Austen's ill thought out story and at this rate I can only think his return will be handled badly. It was a silly idea to make him the suit not the person to begin with.

I went into a comic book rant. I miss doing that.
