IGN Explains X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST For The Casual Viewer

Really looking forward to this...

You know I just read the "Empire Magazine" special for X-Men: Days of Future Past and there's honestly a LOT of good reads in there. There was even an article where Singer expressed his thoughts about X-Men: The Last Stand and what he planned to do with X3. Really wish the man had the chance to direct/write it. He even said himself that he wouldn't have killed off Cyclops as there would've been more to both his and Professor X's role following ideas for a Phoenix Saga.

But anyway I'm a bit glad and disappointed the second trailer didn't debut during the Super Bowl. It could've won them more audiences for the film but then again they're already working on what has yet to be the next biggest movie at Fox (financially and visually) so adding more expenses for just a Super Bowl spot would've been a bit risky. Plus the Super Bowl was garbage so most people weren't even interested (but that's just my take on it)

Other than that, regardless of if the film meets Avengers numbers or not I would just be extremely happy if it surpassed the 500million dollar curse the X-Men movies have always had the disadvantage of achieving. I'm glad Singer's back and I'm extremely glad to see that Fox is planning out multiple films to come in the future from this franchise.

I'd rather wait for a remarkable trailer than see something rushed just to be placed out to shut people up.

Let's get it! Most anticipated film and it will remain that way take it or leave it!

Great video- its nice to show people what they WON'T be getting from Fox and Singer

@Nomis

The comic was terrible, waste of time just like many of those other "classic" stories.

As much as I want to see this movie. Because of Singer I have very mediocre expectations. It might make the movie better for me.

@ekrolo2

I don't think it was terrible...lol but for me personally when I bought the digital download about two years ago I expected to see the story drastically take off from the jump but instead it was dragged out from other things like Wolverine going back to Canada and etc, I actually think it was within this comic where he appeared in the brown and yellow suit "IF" I'm right. I'm still learning about the older uncanny comics. But yeah, it was a pretty good read for a comic back in that era. It just interest me how they saw the year "2013" at that time...lol

@TheBlackNerd

I don't understand how people think they can make a movie just based on the comic without adding anything in, the comic barely has any plot and would be over in under and hour.

@Nomis

Don't care, I judge these movies as movies, I really don't care about the "classic " stories which I have found to be VERY overrated while repeatedly underdelivering in both the art and writing departments.

The way I see it, all CBMs are big budget movie versions of a comic book elseworlds completely separate from the comics. If I want the comic, Ill read the comic, I don't need a movie showcasing how well or how poorly it can rip it off.

@Humperdink

I can honestly understand most of the points you made there. Origins and X3 are comparable to whack hip-hop artists that forgot where their roots came from. I don't even think Vaughn would've wanted to direct it because of how it's not really his style, he claims how much he dislikes being tied down to what someone else has already started. But anyway I wouldn't mind a reboot of the series until either they finish with whatever comes after Apocalypse or if the rights revert back to Marvel. I'm all for seeing different takes on the characters but if anyone deserves the chance to make another Fox related Xfilm I think Singer deserves it without a doubt.

@sKeemAn

Because I don't like how the original material is done? I know for its time that stuff was amazing but for a guy whose relatively a newcomer (I started reading comics when New 52 launched) I find a LOT of these "classic" material seriously lacking, case in point DOFP and Infinity Gauntlet.

I fail to see how me disliking old comics has anything to do with me liking the movies. I judge these as movies, I don't care if a character has his costume or if they go with a story line from the source material, all that matters to me is a good movie, not how well that movie can rip off the comics.

its curious to see Mystique in front and center of IGN manip pic.

I know its not something official, but its still curious

Thinking about it earlier, They're gonna have to change the X-men if they want to keep X-men stories in "current time".

Megneto origins being a Holocaust Survivor (something that happened 70+ years ago) may have to be changed, or otherwise it wouldn't make sense to have a holocaust survivor megneto in the year 2030 (just an example) because most live movies take place in "current" time line.

Just an observation, but magneto would have to be 70 + however old he was when he was bending the gates of the holocaust camps. I'm guessing he was atleast a teen during that time, so that puts him at about 83-85 years old in current time.

@ekrolo2

Your disliking of old comics has nothing to do with you liking the movies. I'm speaking from a general comic book fan. This is one of the best comic story arcs of its time. For us to be able to see it in live-action are childhood dreams. However being a new comic book fan I can understand your point of view.
