Watch The 'Quicksilver' Rescue Sequence From X-MEN: APOCALYPSE In This New TV Spot

@Magus - Hahaha, it isn't the full scene, just a spot, I edited the title.

@regularmovieguy - I disagree. I found it terrible and full of plot holes. The only redeeming quality is Jean and Scott. They overdid Quicksilver in an attempt to beat Flash to the big screen. I don't even want to sit here and explain my problems because it would take too long and I'm on my phone.

@regularmovieguy - Fassbender and McAvoy are amazing and definitely are a positive. They just didn't have anything compelling to do. Fassbender loses his family by an accidental misfire of an arrow. Gets mad. Slaughters probably a Billion people all over the world. Gets over his family. Xavier is like "it's all good, buddy. Let's have a light lunch then you can go on your way". These actors deserve so much more.

@regularmovieguy - Uh.... No. Singers Peter being greater than Whedons Pietro is a common sentiment ONLY because of how beautiful his on screen appearances are aesthetically.

When I "Dumb it down" and just watch the movie to have fun, which is what I do with all of the Fox X films(as an X-Men fan I wouldn't be able to watch them at all if I didn't), QSs scenes are [frick]ing amazing. Possibly the best scenes of the entire franchise. And Evan Peters plays the character that he was given to a T. He's awesome. Even when he's standing still. His levity was the highlight of Apocalypse for me. But that's not Quicksilver.

First off; Quicksilver is a brooding, selfish prick. Which makes sense in context because he moves and views the world around him so much faster than everyone else. Nobody can keep up. That's the character from the books. Secondly; How [frick]ing fast is this kid(Singers iteration)? Either he just has super speed, which seems completely unlikely given the fact that anyone that could move that fast would create all kinds of paradoxes, or he has super speed AND time manipulation powers. I think they played it right in DoFP, showing him moving in slow motion or at a normal speed with time slowed down, but in Apocalypse he's literally moving at super speed inside of his super speed time slowed down thing. Yeah, it's extremely fun to watch, but it's absolutely ridiculous how OP he is when you actually think about it.

Whereas Whedons Quicksilver definitely isn't as much fun, he's assuredly the better representation of the character. And he's more realistic. He gets winded when he runs, he's not the omnipotent all powerful god that Singers Quicksilver is. I mean come on. He saved like a hundred kids and a dog in the span of what less than 2 seconds? And he had time to stop and do some funny stuff in between, and he had time to search the entire huge ass mansion to make sure he got everybody out. "Pretty sure I got them all". When they were asking where Havok was.

As far as characters go, Evan Peters is definitely the more fun, cooler to watch character, but as far as Quicksilvers go, Whedon definitely made the better one.

@Magus -



I WILL REMAKE YOU, MY HORSEMEN! YOU WILL BE FABULOUS!

Speaking of that TV scene, how does a dude from ancient Egypt have the power to interface with technology or hijack cable TV? Does that mean he took the body of someone with that power in thousands of years ago, before there was technology? So basically Apocalypse was like "I need to switch bodies with this guy who seemingly has no powers for some reason"... This movie is a plot black hole.

@hartley07 - Everybody. AND he would have brought some much needed light heartedness to it.

@urnotaslave23 - Well said.

@Magus - No. He's moving fast, then just speeds up. That's why you see the skin on his face rippling. It's because he's running at max speed. It would be like you jogging past a statue. When you start sprinting, the statue is still going to be frozen. If you got in a car, the statue stays the same, just blurrier. I could still just get on a bullet train and go even faster. Even still, I could get on a plane and go yet faster. We could all board the starship Enterprise and go to warp and, really, what would you expect to change? Time can't get more frozen than frozen.

He does this same thing in DOFP. And, yes, that does pretty much make him unbeatable. There really isn't any reason Apocalypse should've been able to break his leg, when he can't move fast enough. But for sake of plot...
