Munn said on Conan she and the suit get lubed up by two wardrobe assistants to get her in it. And on the first day, the crotch popped in front of Fassbender and McAvoy.

But it's too late, McAvoy had seen everything.

Oh wait.

In X1, it was established that Eric was 13 in 1944. That would make him well into his 50s by 1983, when Apocalypse is set.

Now that's fine when you consider how old he appears in the year 2000, (when X-Men was released), but not when he's looked relatively the same age from First Class up until Apocalypse.

Charles is the same, although slightly younger. Do the pair of them age slowly, only for their bodies to suddenly go "Ah, fuck!" and they turn into codgers overnight?

Or have I simply thought more about it, than the film makers ever did?

I never even think about that stuff. Just treat them like the comics - these characters simply exist wherever and whenever they need to.

It's because living on a desert planet ages you prematurely.

No wait, sorry, that's fanwank for a different series.

Ah, after a quick read things are beginning to make sense. Vaughn isn't apart of this at all and he seemed to steady the ship - the last two x men were decent all things considering. Left to his own devices Singer seems to fuck everything up.

Hang on. I don't get all the Singer hate all of a sudden? X2 was a brilliant film.

All of a sudden? Dude. X2 was 12 years ago and as decent as it was, Superman Returns and Jack The Giant Slayer don't get forgiven.

I was purely talking about the X series. But yeah, like others have said, Man of Steel has actually made me appreciate Superman Returns a lot more.

I think he makes good films first and good comic book films second. For me that's what I'd want as the modern batch of comic book films really aren't my cup of tea. Especially most of the Marvel ones which are kind of bland and homogenous and very definitely 'comic book films' rather than films based on comics. If that makes any sense.

I'm not sure what it is about his films that is lacking that can be found in the Marvel ones. But then I've never really been a fan of comics in the way that a lot of people here are. To my mind though he made all the best xmen films and the best superman film in thirty years.

I really liked the tone of it and the father son relationship stuff and other themes it tried to explore. I liked what it did with Clark and Lois' relationship and that it actually treated it's characters as human beings who could be interesting for reasons other than how physically strong they were, rather than just as human shaped punching machines.

I liked the fact that it wasn't an all out action fest like Snyder's crap.

Returns was weird because of the rape thing, but 1 had the dumb reversing time stuff and 2 had the dumb "My chest symbol can be ripped off to wrap you up and trap you, don't worry about it. This movie is a treasure. I was a child when I saw these ones so therefore they're great forever." thing.

They have yet to make a legitimately good Superman movie. Returns is the best one so far.
