  1. It's not replaced, they've made plenty of canon references to legends old republic things. they just filled in some of that huge gap between old republic and prequel eras with another era. sadly, they continue to ignore the g-funk era

  2. I've not seen any reviews cuz idgaf and i'm going to watch anyway, but I was kind of shocked at how terrible it was. I wondered if they'd outsourced it to 1990s syfy channel and used surplus props from original BSG and Black Hole. Fights were fine at least.

    I could see that.  So, the X-men would have to defeat "Pharaoh Kang' which would empower the rise of En Saban Nur?

     

    I likewise had a crazy thought on another character at the end:

    The young Nathan seen in the future at the end, is that indeed Cable, or might that be his counterpart Nate Grey, aka "X-man"?  I never really collected the comics of his story, so I'm limited in details which might clarify.

     

    Spoiler

    I'd think it'd be Cable. Nate was from the Age of Apocalypse timeline. And also it should be Cable because Nate sucks soooo much

  4. I don't recall an instance before this of power replication from a shape shifter (but to be faaaaiiihh i don't recall much of anything ever). It does make sense that they should be able to mimic down to dna though given that their power already extends to such things as voice and mannerisms and style of movement. In which case they should mimic Proteus or Jaime Braddock and just manipulate the sentinels out of reality. They'll be fine til they have to go one on one with a similarly boosted Mystique.

  5. I'm not sure how I feel about the huge power upgrade for Morph - i.e. taking on the powers of whomever they're mimicking. I don't remember if they had that when they came back on the original series but I know they didn't have it all along - otherwise they'd not been just running around getting killed in the early sentinel fight of the original. It's a nice gimmick for putting in cameos but if you think about it it makes them simultaneously overpowered and a bit dumb, cuz why wouldn't you just always mimic Phoenix Jean?

  6. They seem to be fusing a bunch of different stories from different eras into one, from as far back as mutant massacre but with elements as recent as HoX/PoX. The show was always good at fusing comic semi-coherence into a simplified thread so i'm here for it

  7. One hopes it's the good Guy Ritchie rather than the other Guy Ritchie but 'from the director of Sherlock Holmes' bodes ill on that front. Speaking of Guy, interested to see what happens with the series version of the Gentlemen later this week. the expand-a-movie-into-a-series thing seems to be a whole genre now. Just finished the first season of Sexy Beast, which i liked quite a bit more than the movie which I remembered as fairly boring aside from Ben Kingsley yelling.

  8. I assume you've seen Slow Horses, which has almost caught my favorite spy show Spooks (which I know you've seen from another thread), and the Americans. soooo Deutschland '83? A Spy Among Friends? The Informant? The Ipcress File (the recent show)? some of those are slow burns even at my watch speeds though. I've got nothing on the movie front as I barely watch them anymore.
