Cat, I don't think there's any need to apologize.  As Reep said, this is a perfectly valid avenue of discussion, though I do imagine we've just about reached the bottom of the well.

Stumpy, there's a tone to the trailer, including the comment by the woman doing the exposition towards the end, that tends to reinforce the Apocalypse's claim.  Perhaps that's simply me reading into it, but nevertheless, I find even the idea of him being conflated with the Judaeo-Christian God distasteful. 

And Cat is certainly right.  The name itself carries a lot of weight with it for folks of those faiths, even if your reading isn't the same as his.

Nonetheless, it is in character for Apocalypse to say stuff like that.  I just wish they had approached it in a slightly different way.

To broach a new subject, what does everyone think of the visuals?  I'm not quite sure what I think about Archangel's wings.  Also, it just occurred to me, he isn't blue!
God Bless

I can only assume between Mystique, Beast, and Nightcrawler already present, a fourth blue character would seem like a lot.  Really, why are so many X-men characters blue?

Because it's not easy being green?
I am the cat that walks by himself, all ways are alike to me.

I approve of this exchange.  :P

Yeah, a lot of X-Men characters ARE blue.  Weird.  I guess there's something about a blue-skinned person that is visually striking, and Green skin does sort of immediately evoke the Hulk.

I would love to see that song done by a few of the jade MU characters. I might even watch an episode of "Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H." to see it!  :lol:

When I mentioned Thor,I meant the one story where he actually becomes THE God and tries to fix the universe.But its not important now.
The movie is closer to Dark Angel saga then Age of Apocalypse,actually.And its confirmed,Wolverine will have a cameo.

Man --- is it confirmed for a new Wolverine actor yet? I really can't begrudge Hugh Jackman leaving. He's proved his loyalty to the franchise for basically as many films as there are in it, and though he's a perfect fit for Wolverine, he's been featured in just about all of them as a major player. He's done his fair share, without grumbling.

Its still Hugh Jackman.But its only a cameo anyway.And we have a Wolverine movie in 2017(possibly Old Man Logan) as the finale to Jackmans Wolverine.
