Do you want the new Spider-Man movie to spend 30 minutes in why/how he has his powers? I for one, and everyone I know, wants new content. Not going over the same material again.

Movies are only so long and the future movies will go into more depth when the movie actually revolves around them.

You never said anything about Apoc's abilities so whatever there.

Not related. We've gotten Spider-Man's origin already. Twice. They haven't gone over that material yet for any of these characters sans Wolverine. So I'm not sure what you're trying to reach for there.

The movie before DOFP was a origin movie. We don't constantly need them. also, what everyone else said/seems to get.

Except I'm not saying we need another origin movie. I'm asking that these characters be fleshed out a bit more than "hey, it's Cyclops. You kinda know him". Civil War established their Spider-Man in a 5minute scene. It's not hard. You don't need an entire film around it. But you need to actually give these characters purpose. Which they don't have. They're super powers with names. Instead of characters with powers.

Guys,

I had a question about when X-Men I took place? (storyline wise). I realize that the movie took place in 2000 but if I recall correctly, the movie said something to the effect of, "in the not-so-distant future," (meaning, that perhaps the 'story' of X-Men may have taken place sometime between 2010-2015?).

Anyone know?

The reason why I ask is this: The next X-men movie (non-Wolverine Swan Song) is slated to take place in the 1990's. However - if the new 'cast' still looks noticeably younger than the cast that acted in the original X-Men, I think it will just make the whole thing look unrealistic?

However - if the next movie (storylines) takes place in say....1990, while X-Men I's storyline took place circa 2010-2015, then it makes things a bit more realistic in terms of how the characters looked/aged.

You're worried about the X-Men franchise looking realistic!?

Anywho, I believe the general rule is after the events of DOFP, we now have 2 timelines; one which has continued with Apocolpyse, the other is the original trilogy. So the Storm/Jean/Cyclops/etc. in the latest movie doesn't become the Equivalent from the original X-Men movie, i.e. Storm was born later/earlier in one time time compared to the other.

Doesn't explain how Havoc can be 20 years older than his brother and not appeared to have aged since the 1960s.

Fair enough.

"Realistic" may not have been the right term to use, but still. Guys like Magneto and Charles were born at the same time in both timelines (i.e. new Charles in the 1980's would have been the same age as the original Charles in the 80's in the original timeline).

That's why I ask - approximately what year did the Original X-Men take place (i.e. 'filmed in 2000 but with the disclaimer, "In the not-so-distant future."). Are we talking 2010? 2015?

It's a minor issue, but it will just be slightly weird to me if the "new" Magneto and Charles still look fairly young in the next movie (1990's), relative to how the original Charles and Magneto looked in the original X-Men (circa 2010-2015?).

It's a minor detail, but whatever. I think the entire series is awesome regardless.
