@MrAnonymous i knew they were gonna kill him off..i havent seen it, but i got a feeling from the trailers that i shouldnt get attached to the brothah.

OK, I gotta ask: Why is the only Black person in the film killed off so early? Black folks get killed off in films almost like the red shirts in Star Trek these days ...
ellispart3
ellispart3 - 6/15/2011, 9:27 PM
then again its Darwin..he can come (and should based on his power)
yankeemanf
yankeemanf - 6/15/2011, 9:30 PM
the reason he gets killed off is not cuz he is black its cuz every other character is a character that has been around for years and years which means that the fans r attached to these characters and darwin he is a relatively unknown newer character therefore he is more expendable than the other characters soo therefore he dies first and early

I like the Destro Pic. And why does the Blackbird have green guts in the pic where it is split in two? Did it land on Toad? P.S. Darwin's not dead. Heroes never die

really awesome movie. nice concept art. kinda bummed out too that darwin was "killed" off though. his powers call for some nice imaginative stuff which I would have liked to see.

@MrAnonymous I completley agree with you that song kicks so much ass. My friends and I knew that when ever that song came up Magneto was about to whip some ass. Play the song almost everyday for some reason.

Of course, there would be casualties but why couldn't they have killed off that 'Angel' chick no one's heard of instead of Darwin? Saw it coming though... the unwritten plot point: "kill the black man first".

You know Darwin probably could have survived what Sebastian did. He could of developed like adamantium guts or something.

Why does the black guy always die first?

Very shneaky posting darwin in his metal form as the articale photo to get the colossus fanbase to view your artical...dick

Ok, look. I feel the pain of Darwin fans. They got their character killed off way too early on. But do you honestly think brining Darwin back would make the sequel a better film? Or would it perhaps cheapen his sacrifice in First Class?

darwin did not die first.

1)Magneto's mother
2)Nazi soldiers in Schmidt/Shaw's office
3)40+ CIA agents including The Man in Black

actually, Darwin did NOT die. his last words before he yelled Alex's name was that his mutant power was to adapt to survive to Shaw. He showed no sign of strain and Raven even said that there was no body to bury.

He reached out to Alex and lit up. Did no one hear him when he said about THREE times that he adapts to survive?

@mellowYellow23. I agree with you. That pacman pill he swallowed was really Havoks beam thing, something that Darwin could survive easily, inside or out. In the comics i believe he was thought dead but survived as pure energy until someone brought him back. If not then that was the lamest death in all of CBM's for a person of Darwin's abilities.

No matter who be DARWIN, he's a damn waste!

Which is sad, seems like a likeable character, even if he didn't die , he got mo much screentime.

Better be back later!

Cool concepts btw, great find Wolv!

Why didn't they use that design on angel. Are they insane!? MY problem with Darwin dying iss it doesn't make sense. His power is practically surviving anything.

patriautism - 6/15/2011, 11:41 PM
@MellowYellow23 We are talking about the first mutant, or relevant character that died. Not the first people killed in the movie.

Darwin's death was done to show how dangerous Shaw really was. Really, Darwin was the one guy who should've been able to get back from anything, and yet Shaw finds a way to take him out. It sends the message that NO ONE is safe.

Anyhow, seeing as to the nature of his powers, I suspect that he'll be back in the sequel, after they play it up that leaving Darwin unprotected was one of Xavier's biggest mistakes. Then, have it revealed that he transformed into energy and was absorbed by Havok. That's about the same as what they did in the books. I hope that we see a lot of Xavier maturing into Professor X in the next movie, as fun as it was to see him being all swanky.

Taye Diggs Darwin?

Angel Salvadore is a dumb character, could have done without her
drfate
drfate - 6/16/2011, 7:13 AM
Fate - verified! X Men First Class sucked.

The visuals, effects, and filming were excellent - congratulations to the production crew! But the plot and acting SUCKED. Emma Frost was bland. Angel was bland. Banshee was one ugly ass, mush mouthed loser. Darwin - forgettable. Mystique was TOTALLY out of character; the real Mystique is a homicidal, black ops temptress, not some whiny teen-angst ug-mo (she was NOT cute).

Honorable mention: Magneto, Prof. X, Havok and Beast.
