'X-Men: First Class' Animated Infographic Points Out Film Franchise Continuity Woes [Video]

soooo.... how is azeazel and mystique going to hook up.... cause you kinda need that for nightcrawler in x2

I actually didn't like that they were reboots I wanted to see comics come to the screen not random tales based off the comics in a movie. It wasn't a good idea, they should never have called it a prequel when they never kept the storyline in check. To be fair I have a very biased outlook on the movies 'cause I love the comics so much, but building a storyline that doesn't make sense and having a stupid story is more insulting than them doing it right and messing it up.

I thought it was a fairly known thing that the First Class movies were a soft reboot of the series.

My complaints and comparisons with comic to film stuff is usually with the comics not other shite films that i have already assessed as failures at impressing me more than my favourite comic artists. However compared to the other X-films i enjoyed First Class far more mostly because i cant stand the overly tall Hugh Jackman Wolvie and the general fact that in every other film you may as well lose the other x-men and call it "the Wolverine and friends" film series. At least First class is somewhat nearer to an actual X-Men team......despite my disagreements with Havok 'the younger brother" being in First Class. All in all though Im just really amazed that I have gotten this far in seeing Comic to film f**k ups and still care enough to pay to see them just so Im able to rant at people on comment threads like this.....Yay for being involved.:P

Who freaking cares. Either a movie is good or it's not. Either you liked it for what it is or you didn't. The rest is fanboy wankery.

this video is totally right, all comics and movies keep with the canon 100% except this one...oh wait

X-Men First Class was a great film? Really? There was zero characterization throughout the whole thing, just characters talking at each other.

Well if DC can do a reboot of their entire line then maybe at some point someone will come in and say they are going to do a reboot of the Xmovies and do them right. Hello the scripts are right there in the comic books and yes we will sit for a long time for a good movie. I wish these damn movie companies would stop thinking that an hour and a half is the right amount of time for a movie. If you do a movie good we will sit through it. Just because the companies make crap for an hour and a half and try to get all the money in the first nut does not mean that movies can not be long. Hell you can take books and turn them into two movies why not a comic book that tells the true origin of the Xmen. Hell a Phoenix story line would be a good two or three with the star jamers thrown in there too. That would be one hell of a great movie. But we have the sense the movie companies dont care.

Seriously have you read X-Men? If you pick out a few points in its history and tried joining them up - none of it would make any sense.

you could easily explain most of that away.

A few recent examples...
Hope spent her childhood in the future to return a young adult not long after she was born. Nightcrawler is dead, but a version of him of an alternative universe is about to join X-Force? Xavier lost and regained his abilities (and legs) a few times in the last 10 years. And did you hear Magneto is in the X-Men.... That's not even the really weird stuff.

The explanation is that these movies are made by committee and they do not give a **** about this "continuity" we speak of. Move along. FC was mediocre anyway. Just like all of the other X-movies. Except a good portion of X2, and my personal fave... The TV movie GENERATION X.
