This ? is funny and all, but y'all can't be serious...
Literal physical characteristics of CARTOONS or comics obviously don't translate well to live action movies.
It behooves artistic directors to use some tact and forethought in their design choices.
Should Hugh Jackman have shoved his hair into the pointy ears of a costume?
Should Jean Grey rock a nude and blue colored body suit with her hair flowing out the top?
Should Sabertooth have been depicted as the albino strongest man in the world on steroids, in a body suit with a mane growing from his shoulders, arm pits, and side burns?
The physical appearance of Acocalypse is even more over the top...
It sounds like Singer understands that pulling of a picture-perfect representation of Apcalypse from the comics was a lost cause ... Making casting choices based on that direction would have been futile.
My guess is Singer is trying to bring out the intellect and cunning attributes of the character ... Intimidation can be coveyed with the host of mutant powers at his disposal. -

Ok but all of that aside, do you think his interpretation of Apocalypse looks good? -
I get your point and I disagree. First class is the only movie that went as close to the books with looks. The old Magneto and Apocalypse look horrible. Not even close nor rendered anything near the comics. In the age of Apocalypse, Professor X is killed by legion and Magneto has a son with Rogue. Magneto looks to be about Liam Neeson's age at most, not 90 years old.
Apocalypse is an ancient biological, mechanical weapon of war from Egypt. He has very little human element and he's not a Puerto Rican with a soft voice. He can shapeshift any part of himself into a nuclear weapon being that he's 90% mechanical and grow any size. Marvel hit the nail on the head with Thanos and FOX is looking Larry Holmes in the visual department with everything.
My only complaint with wolverine was the height and/or age. Wolverine is shorter than most of them, even so, the ? that played Rorschact on watchmen could've easily pulled it off with make up effects. He's a cranky old slow aging man. They should've shown the X Men tearing the sentinels up. Wolverine should've been decapitating them instead of hiding in a shelter with black tights on trying to go in the past to prevent a midget from revamping them.
If they ever wanted to do X-Men right, just compare it to the civil rights movement and modernize it like Stan Lee did. You would see a lot more character traits and great story. A small rivalry between Wolverine, Cyclops & Gambit. Professor X & Magneto as civil rights leaders with opposing views. Internal family rivalries but most of them are family related. Gambit being Scott's half brother. Xavier and Cain Marko etc, etc, etc. -

Not as much of a fan of his look in the stills released, but that isn't unprecedented.
Honestly, his portrayal in the trailer was pretty decent to me... Withholding cartoonish expectations and being open to their interpretation.
Y'all are underestimating acting prowess, scripting, and context IMO.
Let's see how it plays out ... -
I'm saying the whole concept and structure is reinterpreted so far from the canon that it's its own story. The look, the story, nothing is anywhere not even 10% close to the comics. It's good to ppl that like plain superhero flicks and don't read comics or never seen the x men series on FOX but it's an entirely different story. I look back and laugh at the old x men movies because wolverine and rogue look stupid and funny. Tyler Mane's sabertooth looks like a roided out ? . Magneto old as ? . Cyclops has no depth in character nor looks like a leader, Jean is ugly as ? and mystique running around naked kicking ? in the faces just makes me laugh.
Zack Snyder and Kevin Feige have done exceptionally well at superhero flicks. Bryan Singer has a history of ? up comic book flicks and creating new characters/story plots. Check out superman returns. Kal El never had a kid. -
It's not about being cartoonish, it's about directors not relating to the source and straight jacking ? . Check out Kevin Smith's first documentary. He explained how the producers wanted to put giant spiders in superman and make his costume all black and weird then look at what Bryan Singer did with superman and X-Men. He has no input nor reads comics. The producers are milking this franchise for money, not fans.

I can respect this opinion. I agree about Thanos - he looks phenomenal, cinematically.
Here's the thing tho... Think of the dichotomy of storylines.
The role of Apocalypse in this film will necessitate a lot of on screen time and personification. He will be seen talking to, mentoring and interacting with a host of "human looking" characters in a very human world...
Juxtapose that with Thanos who is barely seen and interacts with very alien-looking, grandiose, characters in outer space...- The character of Thanos will not need to act...
- Hulk in Hulk form does not need to act...
- Notice how Beast can retain human form in these movies... That is so he can act...
They are making an action movie based on the comics, not a pure comicbook adaptation ...

This is fair ...
I have very big complaints about many characters and storylines from the previous X-men films, especially Rogue in general and the character development of several others. Most of what you said here is valid (but Sabertooth was done well IMO)
I liked First Class and DOFP, tho.
It just sounds like you expect a Thanos type depiction of every character in the X-men universe. That just doesent seem plausible...
The X-men have always been the most human of the Marvel superheroes - human issues, human story arcs, human appearances. They have to look somewhat believable ...
The bastadization of characters and storylines is a seperate issue, IMO. Thy could have kept things closer to the comics without having them look exactly like characters from the comics ... They just chose not too
-
This is probably blasphemy to ask...
But I am assuming that Deadpool won't be using a teleportation device in this movie?
Is that accurate? -
Apparently the other chick in the trailer is named Angel Dust ... She can conjure increased adrenalin for a spell; superhuman strength to the tune of 20 Tons, speed etc.
I can definitely dig the casting choice;
Gina Carano...

Deadpool looks like the first good fox marvel film.

i cant wait for the articles from the white mothers who took their kids to see Deadpool not knowing what the movie was about then get offended
i'll never forget when i went and saw The Watchmen in the theaters then reading articles online about mothers who were appalled they showed Mr. Manhattan's blue ? and wanted to boycott the movie
im like "did you even see the rating the movie had?".
these are the same mothers i've seen in gamestop just let little Billy get Call of Duty b/c all their friends are playing it...smh -
‘Legion’: FX Marvel Pilot Casts ‘Fargo’s Rachel Keller As Female Lead
One big break leads to another. I have learned that Fargo Season 2 standout Rachel Keller has been cast as the female lead in Legion, FX’s X-Men-universe pilot from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, Bryan Singer, Marvel TV and FX Prods. The 23-year-old Keller, who landed her first major role as femme fatale Simone Gerhardt in Fargo, was a breakout and a fan favorite. I hear she also impressed Hawley and FX brass who moved on to cast her in her first leading role. As with any other Marvel project, FX, Marvel TV and talent reps would not comment.
Legion introduces the story of David Haller, based on the Marvel comics character Legion, the son of X-Men founder Charles Xavier. Since he was a teenager, David has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real. Keller will play the female lead, a scrappy, optimistic woman in her 20s. Details about her potential powers are unclear. There has been chatter about them possibly being tied to human touch, drawing parallels to such X-Men universe characters as Rogue and Spyke.
Hawley wrote the pilot and serves as an executive producer with the film franchise’s director/producer Singer, producer Lauren Shuler Donner, writer/producer Simon Kinberg as well as Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory, John Cameron and Steve Blackman. -
I'm not holding my breath on this one. I'll watch the pilot though.

He's one of the most powerful mutant's. He has split personalities that number up two the thousands that are all separate mutants. Professor X has two son's Legion and Proteus who are both reality warpers and powerful.
whaaaaat?!
and all of these personalities have a different power?
