I think it's a really nice contrast with the muted tones and utilitarian approach of the X-men. Apocalypse wow indeed.<br /><br />I think the origin speaks to Betsy's skills and experience as a secret agent and infiltrator. It's certainly not the most dramatic change this franchise has made to characters' back stories. I hope she has an important role in the team.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708771717353655032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-76720434609899016292015-07-16T19:49:38.024-03:002015-07-16T19:49:38.024-03:00That said, the one thing I don't like about th...That said, the one thing I don't like about this Psylocke is her origin. "Working behind the Iron Curtain for the mutant-broker Caliban"? Really? Why not just put her as a bored British socialite, a ninja on the run from her clan (it wouldn't be necessary to identify them as the Hand) or something like that? The way it was done, they are not only messing Psylocke's origins, but Caliban's (who used to be pretty submissive and kind-hearted to be a mutant-broker giving her orders) as well.<br /><br />I understand that FOX doesn't need to make these films exactly like the comic books (even Marvel's films are quite different from the comic books, no matter how they later retcon events in comic books to make it seem like they're identical), but they could try to be a little more coherent with the X-Men history.<br /><br />This film still looks really cool, though. I guess we should just consider the X-films as an alternate (and very different) universe to the X-books, instead of a media adaptation.FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-22147675527440643832015-07-16T18:30:08.584-03:002015-07-16T18:30:08.584-03:00I like how the breastplate armor portion of the co...I like how the breastplate armor portion of the costume has her butterfly motif worked into it.Waffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929915952750809474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-61515346745008475752015-07-16T17:04:05.524-03:002015-07-16T17:04:05.524-03:00WOW! I just... WOW!
Psylocke looks AMAZING! While...WOW! I just... WOW!<br /><br />Psylocke looks AMAZING! While I would prefer her to have a full body suit, this version of the bathing suit actually looks great! I don't know how the people in charge of costumes managed to make a version of the bathing suit that shows even more skin (now she has a cleavage area) and still manages to look sexy without looking cheap, but hey, they did it!<br /><br />Her hair looks great as well, partially black, partially purple. Aaand... she has the psychic knife!<br /><br />I'm so happy with all this news about Psylocke in X-Men:Apocalypse! Could her appearance have been better? Maybe (especially if she ends up dying or not joining the X-Men), but it also could have been much, much worse - remember Last Stand, where Psylocke had two lines, three small scenes (probably amounting to a total of one or two minutes) and a pathetic death (I feel really sorry for Mei Melançon having to work in that film).<br /><br />This year, we're getting Psylocke portrayed by a gorgeous actress who is really involved with the comic book world, getting her powers right and being considered important enough for Entertainment Weekly to put her on the cover instead of so many other characters who could be there (Storm, Nightcrawler, Archangel, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor X, Mystique...). Who would have ever expected this after Last Stand?FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.com
