When Stan Lee was born with the X-Men, he made them mutants especially if he could not come up with individual stories of origin other than "They are born that way." Hollywood will never take for granted that just want the public to accept such things, gave us a prequel anyway, sitting in the Cuban crisis. This is all despite Bryan Singer's first X-Men "is pretty clear to most bases.
Story prequel X-Men "is first-class affair
And as the superhero movies so much these days, is charged with enough characters, shading and land you may have some notes at first. So here are a few pointers before going to the movies this weekend to see the movie more mutant summer
PLUS: Find new X-Men here!
1. Charles Xavier is really absent-minded professor: In the first "X-Men" movies, argued Professor X, played by Patrick Stewart, to have met enemy Magneto to 17 years and built the camera looking mutant brain with him. He was surprised that his friend-turned-foe in possession of a headset that can block the psychic attacks. From "X-Men: First Class" has several shout-outs to the continuity of the comic while contradicting those events, we must assume that the benefactor of bald mutants (James McAvoy in the new) or a terrible memory, is a huge liar or exists in an alternate reality.

2. Inconsistency runs free: We know that some mutants, like Wolverine, I just do not age. But it seems that some people do not either, if you changed the age back. Diamond Emma Frost-skin - in this sexy femme fatale played January Jones - appeared as a teenager, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", even if the connection to Xavier man / love interest, Moira, played by Rose Byrne in 60th century setting , it seems, Olivia Williams looks around 40 years later, the "X-Men: The Last Stand." Neither should we start a cameo man Hank McCoy in X2, which became the blue-haired beast later in the film, without any explanation. Now we learn that really changed decades ago. George Lucas does not seem so wildly inconsistent now? Better to think of this as a reboot "Star Trek" style, which we have seen so far is only one possible future. Ultimately, the World Trade Center is part of the future of the first film in New York. Storm Halle Berry and lost its focus "African" damn fast.

3. Angels have no gender: For the casual viewer, it may seem puzzling that Ben Foster has played a winged mutant named Angel in "The Last Stand" and the daughter of Lenny Kravitz Zoe plays a winged mutant, also known as Angel in "First Class". Here's the distinction: the character was actually named Foster Warren Worthington and was nicknamed because of having feathered wings. The New Angel is actually named Angel Salvadore has wings of insects and goes by the name of the storm together in the comics. Also, if you're curious as to why new characters Azazel (Jason Flemyng) seems very similar to Diablo, because they are father and son ... If the team inevitable sequels to the comic continuity, Mystique is the mother.

4. Stan Lee can not be found: Unlike many changes to Marvel, Stan Lee is not a cameo. Or something after the credits. I thought I'd save time there.
5. The director knows that his action: Matthew Vaughn dropped the first Helming 'The Last Stand ", but showed he could direct kickass heroism in doing good," Kick Ass ". Fans hated" The Last Stand "of Anyway, he slipped the ball adamantium. Now he is back with a story co-written by the original X-guy Bryan Singer, who was engaged in "Superman Returns" at the time. Vaughn knows how to pick his spots He also made a pre-Bond Daniel Craig credible as a tough guy in "Layer Cake".
