I don't know if this article should be placed in fan fic or editorial, the reason im writting this, is because all the possible links to storylines that could be made with this movie...
Lets try to hint what are they doing here...
Ok first off: they are bringing in it to the real world, just like nolan did in this new religion of CBM, but this guys from x men did a little further, the did it in the past and with real events that happend in that time, such as the cold war, the cuban missile crisis and the facts of racism and difference that came as sequels with the second world war.
Parethesis(IM NOT AMERICAN, im from venezuela, and i studied history, i know a lot deal of it and im a big comic fan, so i find this ADAPTATINS to paralel fictionus history lines, really amusing.)
A lot of you may have clicked this article for the tease picture in the editorial home page, yes it's the X FACTOR picture... remember the x factor? a team assembled by the goverment to deal with specific purposes. Who was the leader of the X FACTOR, THE FIELD LEADER?... yeap that's right, its our boy HAVOK, wich we will see in the film learning to control his powers.
Why do i talk bout this?, i think the x men universe is very political, that's what fans do not like, the just want to see BLASTING, SMASHING, FLYING, AND MENTAL CONTROLLING MUTANTS. well i think that's kinda inmature and nonsense, of course id love to see a big fight involving all the superpowers as possible, but dont you guys think it would be something like the videogame SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, haha, just saying...
well going back to the topic, the political, the racism, the existence of beings with supernatural powers that can change the course of men, OF COURSE the american goverment will like to take control on that, of course the canadians will copy that, of course the russians and the socialist and communist will be involved, yes, it also has social impact even economical... as a result of all this we will see the origins dividng, i dont know if i xplain myself well...here are some examples
MUTANTS, PROBLEM TO HUMANITY? OR WEAPONS FOR GOVERMETNS? IDEOLOGICAL ISSUES...
Charles Xaver, founds his school cuz he thinks mutants can help humanity
Erik Lensher, after he survived the holocaust and knowing what can the human power do, he sees the humans as a revenge or as a THEY ARE NOT GOING TO F!"# ME AGAIN CUZ IM A MINORITY...
the US goverment, starts making plans for a team or a weapon of mass destructuion or even agents for their own benefits... suck as X FACTOR (POSSIBLE TIE IN WITH HAVOK IN THE MOVIE)
Some mutants make their own rebellious groups and anarchy teams to destabilize justice or quoting a friend from DC "some people just wanna see the world burn". This is what makes them bad and good.... in this groups perfectly fits THE MARAUDERS, which i just red that alex gonzales AKA Riptide mentioned. the course they could give them with this group of mutants is the 80's but not in the comic line, in real history, the genetic manipulation, the era of computers the rise of cultural movements...and yes yes yes SINISTER...
Ok Ok Ok but what does all this has to do with the original team?
the answer is another question...
WHICH MUTANTS DESERVE MORE JUSTICE ON SCREEN, (THAT WEERENT GIVEN IN PREVIOUS FILMS)???
CYCLOPS AND GAMBIT, i love wolverine but all movies were bout him, Wolverine riding bikes, woklverine getting all the ladies, wolverine and his past, wolverine and his claws, wolverine as the field leader of the x men. CYCLOPS IS A PUSSY and gambit was like "hey dont you rememember me? well dont mind ill just go and F myself"....
HAVOK IS PROBABLY THE BEST CONNECTION TO CYCLOPS, SCOTT ARRIVES HIS BROTHER LEAVES, CHARLE HAD A SENTIMENTAL CONNECTION TO ALEX SUMMERS CUZ HE HAD THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE WITH HIS POWER AND THIS MAKES SCOTT SO ATTACHED TO PROFFESOR X. PERIOD.
Riptide gathers a group of mutants to attack the morlocks a bunch of kids refugee in the sewers... here comes gambit as the right hand of SINISTER.
there are also possible back stories related to political, social and time period.
AZAZEL falls for MYSTIQUE, even thou they start as enemies... and they leave to old germany where they can hide... giving birth to NIGHTCRAWLER... REMEMBER that en every's brian synger movie theres is a love story....
Charles and Magneto... enough said.
there's something that i wanna point out...
theres a story where charles sends an x men team to KRAKOA, Krakoa is a mutant island, YES A BIG WALKING ISLAND that charles thought that in that island was a big force, but mistoke it for the island which is the mutant...REALLY CONFUSING ISNT IT?... wll this island caputures the first team and he sends the second, i think leadered by DARWIN... the manage to sabe the first mutants, but the get beaten up so they decide to take roads apart...
THATS THE STORYLINE... MAYBE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT AND THE ISLAND IS NOTHING LESS THAN !!!!CUBA!!!!!
