Beast and Colossus look angry about something but Wolverine is just scratching his ear and everyone else looks like they're standing around waiting for the lights to change or waving at a friend. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Mar 24, 2014 |

I like to imagine the burning cityscape in the background is because of the massive jet exhaust coming from Prof. X's floating chair.

"Hey guys should we do something about those giant flying robots?" "Nah they're miles away and they're not even flying towards us, let's just keep standing around." It's a remarkably unexciting poster. AnonSpore posted:I like to imagine the burning cityscape in the background is because of the massive jet exhaust coming from Prof. X's floating chair. It's okay, Colossus is going to punch the fire into submission.

The worst aspects of modern movie posters and standard, boring X-Men posters together at last. Is it okay to miss the X-Face posters now?

Hakkesshu posted:Yeah, that CGI on Colossus looks rooouuuugggh, man. I still think it'll be an awesome movie, though. I don't know why Fox superhero movies both rely so heavily on CGI and also massively cheap out on CGI. I guess because nobody gives a poo poo and everyone still goes to see the movies no matter how terrible they are?

It may still end up looking like rear end on film but trailer shots aren't really a fair indication of FX quality which is no doubt why they were holding back on release a proper trailer.

I don't claim to know what this movie will look like in its final form, it's just that I can remember some truly terrible CGI work in, well, every single X-men film, both FF films, Daredevil, plus the trailers for Elektra.

Yeah, I'd add Amazing Spider-Man to that list as well. I definitely think Marvel's own studio has better CGI artists overall. Their set-design on the other hand...

Well there's always going to be some lovely CGI in superhero films  It all depends on how much they can cover up and stylise when the film is actually released.

muscles like this? posted:They've never really been able to make him look good so it just might be something that doesn't translate to live action. I actually thought Colossus looked good in X2, but way worse in 3 and this. I think the best thing for them to do is tone down the "polish" to give him more texture instead of the mirror shine finish which always looks kinda fake. Kinda like how Silver Surfer looked when depowered in the second F4 movie.

Everything about DOFP just looks so terrible and hokey to me. The dialogue, the effects, the premise. God, I just really hate the majority of X-Men movies, especially the Bryan Singer ones.

Kinda like how Silver Surfer looked when depowered in the second F4 movie. I really wish there was some way they could achieve the chromed metal look with a practical costume rather than CGI, perhaps incorporating a uniform that covered up areas like the shoulders where the muscle suit would wrinkle in ways that skin doesn't. But I guess even Colossus needs to emote sometimes so he needs to be at least partially CG and a half practical / half CG chromed character would probably be even worse than fully CG. Edit: also he needs to not reflect the camera and camera crew every time he's on screen I guess.

Why does Wolverine have adamantium claws in this movie? Didn't he lose them at the end of the Wolverine? So regardless of whether it's future or past Logan he should have bone claws, right?

He gets his claws around 1980 or 82 I think in that one. Also if it'd be weird to have an even younger stryker around than the one who gave him his adamantium claws.

I still think (had they not killed off Cyclops in 3) the Origins films would have worked pretty good with a better Wolverine Origins to set up premise. Then a Cyclops Origins as a movie where he's trying to reconnect with his brother while helping a former friend piece together the mystery of a boogieman from his childhood orphanage that the kids called 'Mister Sinister'. Then we cap it off with a Magneto Origins that pretty much follows more of his Nazi hunting story from First Class. Then we get X-Men 4, proper, where some of the elements from those films come back. Sort of Phase One/Two/etc. the X-men films.

That sounds loving awful. That second trailer for Days of Future Past is actually competent, though, which is a pleasant surprise after the rushed together hack-job editing of the last one.

In the comics, the adamantium is somehow organically bonded to his skeleton (comic science!), so it would grow back with his bones. Maybe they'll use something like that to excuse it in the movie?

Dan Didio posted:That sounds loving awful. Again, I'm coming from the perspective that Cyclops is extremely underused in the X-films as it is. Three Origins films that would let them use different/cheaper casts and use them to tell stories fleshing out some of the background universe and expanding characters that might not fit well with the Core X-Men series. So long as Wolverine is/was around in the X-Men movies, not to mention all the extra supporting cast that would be brought in for each new movie, I don't think they were going to give Scott a chance to really be a character. A solo Cyclops film could have been a chance to help give him some story of his own based on some of his own character mythology.

In the comics he had it ripped out of his body, and he did not regain it until it was given back to him in an awful storyline. He also lost his nose at this point.
