THE MEN OF THE X VARIETY AND OTHER FOX BS (spoilers)

[Anderson]

I also want to see "blue and yellow spandex". Just for shits and giggles, and to remind folks this is based on a comic book originally marketed to kids.

Oh, and bring on the Shi'ar and the Imperial Guard, too. Needs to see me some Warstar.

The whole marketing to kids thing is a bullshit angle. You can use that argument to discredit a lot of shit.

But, it's a double-edged sword as you can look past the juvenile trappings and find a certain glee in the broad Sci-Fi setups.

Hell, CBR has been doing a great feature for the last five months where they take five issues of a set classic run and actually break apart the goofy shit in them. Today's section spotlights the first five issues of Uncanny.

Someone convince me a hypothetical sequel to First Class could work. Pitch me some ideas.

If you're gonna keep it in the 60s, have the film's mutants form their own civil rights movement that runs at the same time as the factual civil rights movement. Prof X becomes MLK, Magneto becomes Malcolm X.

Sentinels.


With bell bottoms.

[Abraham Smashington]

FUCK YES.

I don't know if it's on the edited version of Movie Moan podcast this week. But the only idea I could muster is aping the style of The Spy Who Loved Me and having one of the newbies be Dazzler if they were going for the 70s.

The REAL reason for the space race: Magneto had a plan to build a space station and/or claim the moon for mutantkind.

Tell me more.

Holy shit.....this.

Asteroid M(oonraker)?

[Nathan]

Tell me more.

Agreed.

[FilmNerdJamie]

I imagine a 70s era film would look like the 90s arcade game/Pyrde of the X-Men.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Throw in more 60s era figures too if there is another one. Xavier working with Howard Hughes, etc.
