X-Men: Days of Future Past Movie (SPOILERS)

[spacegoatpurrp]

tbh they could have left the lil Scarlet Witch easter egg it was only like what an extra 10 seconds

[jackolover]

Probably the best X movie I've seen, mainly because it shows why Professor X split with Magneto, the relationship between Raven and Charles, and, the connection between Logan and Stricker thinking of experimenting on Logan in Weapon X. The time jumps were natural, and gave enough time to let the character acclimatise to the next period.

This is the first time I've seen this DVD, but it certainly adds something to the Secret Wars comic that involves this scenario. I didn't read the original story in the comic either, so this premise is all new to me. I liked that suddenly a future time had to alter the past so that it wouldn't happen. It slots in quite nicely into the mutant ethos, like a ripple in time, at least in the MCU sense. There was a statement made in the movie that maybe destiny was always going to happen, so one wonders what Raven did may be overturned later? I would have liked to have seen a movie of the Age of Ultron play out like the comic with time travel to eradicate Ultron from his victory. Those changes to history were quite jarring. The XMDOFP DVD future was shown in the dark, too indistinct to get a good picture of that.

i would go so far as to say dofp the rogue cut is the best marvel movie i've ever seen.

I saw Avengers in the cinema, and I can't go past that. But if I had seen this X Movie in the cinema, I don't know. Bryan Singer did a great job here. How was ithe Rogues Cut different to the original?

in total, i think there is about 17 minutes of additional footage. but this footage is peppered throughout the experience of the entire movie. so some scenes are extended, or enhanced - letting them breathe a bit more than the cinematic version. and then there is the rogue scenes which were left out of the cinema completely.

Mystique's visit to the mansion was also entirely cut from the theatrical version.

And then there's still some scenes missing (Mystique being referred to as a cold-hearted bitch).

I really want to know what that scene entailed. Mostly cause I think Mystique actually interacting with Logan would give her a better reason to fish him out of the water at the end of the movie. Though Apocalypse will probably reconcile that.

Though I guess Mystique just waltzing in there with no one noticing is a nice call back to X1. Xavier needs better security.

It seems there is no Rogue Cut with Dutch subtitles available yet. Bummer, mayor bummer. Me is sad.

[Shadowbrat]

I imported the UK release, which has Dutch subtitles.

[Kieran_Frost]

LOVED the Rogue cut; the film is even better with Rogue in it. Two things I loved that I didn't realise; Emma is implied dead but we don't know for a fact, second LOVED seeing Rockslide as a sentinel.

So that was Mystique not Striker at the end there? I thought that was a good lead into the Weapons program. Now I'm not so sure.

Thanks Aces. Maybe they aught to re-release it as the Rogue Cut in cinemas?

Having watched the Rogue Cut, I enjoyed it a lot. I get why it was cut, but seeing it was fun. I still feel like they should have just found a better way to include Rogue, but oh well.

I personally feel that Rogue should have been the person they were experimenting on for the Sentinels. The Sentinels utilizing her powers makes far more sense given the context of how they are used than Mystique. Would have also been a nice explanation for why she has her powers again after taking the cure, because the scientists found a way to reactivate her X-Gene to use with the mutants.

Of course, I suppose Rogue being the catalyst for the Sentinels instead of Mystique takes away the entire reason why they had to stop Mystique from assassinating Trask in the first place, but I'm sure they could have found a way.

Either way, I have my preferred version of the film now. The version of the film that I anticipated for the theatrical run. This will be my "official" version of the film from here on out, and the version of the film that I watch for marathons of the series, which I'll have one coming up definitely sometime next year to prep for Apocalypse. May even do a mini-thon in the meantime.

I just wish I could recut X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine now. There is existing footage of both of those films that greatly would improve them, in my opinion.

In X-Men: The Last Stand, use the original version of Logan's subbasement speech to Iceman, Kitty Pryde, and Colossus, replace the Rogue ending with the proper version of her not taking the cure, replace Logan's ending with him going back to Canada to tie into The Wolverine, and probably add in Storm's tidal wave on Alcatraz (plus, I would have filmed a version where Angel joins the X-Men during the subbasement speech and goes with them to Alcatraz, thus explaining why he randomly shows up when his dad is tossed off the roof).

For X-Men Origins: Wolverine, pretty much use the original mind-erase sequence on Three Mile Island. It's a much better scene all the way through, and at the very least, makes the adamantium bullets a bit less ridiculous (I can buy adamantium bullets wiping his memory when his memory has already been weakened by the mind erase procedure).

Those alterations might not be big, but for me, would make a huge difference for these films.

I'd probably make some recuts to X-Men and X2 as well if I could, but those are far less pressing. Although, I do wish we could get a fully mastered version of X-Men 1.5, instead of just the DVD version with the untouched up alternate scenes just placed in where they would have existed in the film, but not actually mastered or cut into the film.

It's funny because Kinberg stated in an interview that he was a 'fan' of Rogue - yet in Last Stand and DoFP, which he scripted, he practically erased her as a character.

The first thing being true doesn't prevent the second thing from happening.
