Wasn't dofp kinda like a reboot but a sequel at the same time?
Basically erased the plots of the previous movies while continuing certain plotlines, so yes.

It was mostly a sequel to First Class, but the future bits and the ending are basically Singer's way of ******** all over what happened in X3.

The ending means that they've completely ignored X1-The Wolverine and gone in a different direction starting from the 70s that was altered. Like Wade Wilson being active in the present time as opposed to the 70s in Wolverine 1. Meaning basically the timeline is completely different.

So yeah, basically a reboot.

The biggest difference is the fact that Charles and Erik are still young, good looking dudes despite being in their 50s in Apocalypse

:lol: yeah first class was set in the 60s, this is a full 20 something years later. How they are letting this slide I don't know.

I think they're in their 40s

In First Class Charles should be early 20s. He's exceptionally smart and in college at the beginning so he should've earned those degrees very early. Eric appears older (well older than Chatles) in the films but I believe its shown that way because he's had such a hard life. The whole living hard, looking old thing.
 
Nah it was 1944 and they were both at least 10 years old, with Magneto clearly a preteen/teenager. They gotta be pushing 50.

Honestly I don't think anyone really cares that much about this though, McAvoy and Fassbender have done such fantastic jobs in making us believe in Professor X and Magneto that I wouldn't mind them continuing their roles if they went over the the MCU

DoFP was a soft reboot.

I'll be patiently waiting for a hard reboot. It will come...one day.

Singers Response to Apocalypse Criticisms

When Apocalypse was unveiled for the very first time, the response...wasn't great. Oscar Isaac was quickly compared to Power Rangers baddie Ivan Ooze, and while the trailers made him look at least a little better, the voice and his size also came under fire before too long. Well, during a recent press event attended by IGN, X-Men: Apocalypse Bryan Singer had a lot to say to the villain's detractors.

"[The first X-Men: Apocalypse trailer] was simply Oscar using his normal voice -- which is wonderful; his performance is fantastic -- but that was never the intention," he explained. "We just needed those words to govern the first teaser. So people thought, 'Oh, wait, is that going to be his voice during the whole movie?' It's like, no, but to tell the story of the first teaser, we needed the voice, and I hadn't recreated the voice yet." Interestingly, the filmmaker went on to reveal that all of Isaac's lines are being redone in ADR, something we've seemingly heard in recent previews. "What I'm doing is something very unique. It hasn't been done before. We're rerecording his entire performance because the suit's creaky and makes all kinds of noise, you can't really use any of it anyway. But I want his performance. It ebbs and flows and moves through the movie, and changes, so he doesn't just have one single voice. He speaks with different voices depending on different moments in the film. So it's really kind of cool. It's the first time I've ever had the tools to sculpt a performance in post-production, that was already given to me on set and chosen in the cutting room."

Going back to that divisive first image, Singer confirmed what many of us predicted at the time; it wasn't the finished version of Apocalypse. That's something which became evident as soon as we saw the first teaser trailer, but you can't help but wonder what the thinking was behind unveiling a pink En Sabah Nur! The filmmaker explains all. "There was an image released on Entertainment Weekly, where the effect hadn't been put in yet, so everyone was -- the effect has a pink light on it, and everyone got lit up pink, so people thought Apocalypse was going to be pink. I was like, 'No, no, they're all pink. Take a look. Everyone in the picture is pink. It's a pink picture.' They maybe just should have taken the pink out of the picture -- I should have taken the pink out of the picture. I'm going to take some blame for that. My fault, not Entertainment Weekly's. That's the picture I gave them." That makes sense, and pretty much debunks theories that Apocalypse's colour was changed because of the response to that photo (though it's easy to imagine some small alterations being made).

The final big Apocalypse complaint has of course been in regards to his size. The comic book version of the character is pretty massive, hence why many assumed this big screen version would be a CGI creation rather than just Oscar Isaac in a costume. Once again, the director had a pretty convincing explaination as to why everyone needs to calm down. "So then people were like, 'He's small.' I'm like, 'Okay, I got the same s*** when I cast a six-foot-three actor to play five-foot-four Wolverine. I got the same s*** when Quicksilver's very sweet, 1970s costume was released on an Empire Magazine cover.' You know, every time. I could have made him a giant through the whole movie, or some muscle-bound guy who can't act -- I could always do that. But the reality is, among his many powers -- and you will see him change size -- but among his many powers is his power of persuasion, and it was very important that he'd be able to connect with his horsemen, at their level, and that he'd be played by a guy who can actually act like Oscar, who's a fantastic actor."
 
No one's doubting Oscar Isaac's acting ability

Folks are just ehh on Singer. DoFP was cool to me, but I wouldn't watch it again.

Yo man I've been so good. The only thing I've really seen have been the first two trailers and some thumbnails. And a little bit of the tunnel chase scene but I closed that with the quickness cuz it looked too epic to watch on my computer. I'll see you in that thread Thursday night bruhh
