I prefer the new one being Jonas so it's actually different. Otherwise they might as well have just re-released the original with its better articulation. This way somebody can have both without one being strictly better than the other.

I do too. The body of the old one is pretty bad. Articulation be damned; I prefer the new one.

I know this isn't a 3.75" figure but I thought I'd share this old custom I made nearly 20 years ago. I threw together some spare parts I had at the time from other custom projects, and gave it a fresh paint job. I've been calling him the UltraPatriot all these years, and while a lot of the other figures I made have vanished or not aged well, I still dig this guy.

If you pay attention to the movie, he had new metal claws. I'd assume since they've been fighting sentinels, he managed to get new ones. Bone probably does jack crap to sentinels. That's called a logical leap. DOFP does take place 10-20 years after "The Wolverine." So that's a lot of time of stories not told. The past was the 70s, and in the original timeline, he didn't get the adamantium until late 70s early 80s. Which then DOFP shows where he was captured by the Weapon X project for those events. Granted Stryker is younger in DOFP too.

Creed in X-Men 1 has been further mutated in a story we've yet to see that takes place before it. That's probably also why the full different appearance too. He's more animalistic and may not have have full memories. Though he did grab the dog tag in X-men 1, so there was some mild recollection of their connection. He's so animalistic in the first X-Men movie though, he doesn't even really speak any dialog except when Xavier possesses him.

It's hinted at in XMO:W that Creed wouldn't survive the process that gave Wolverine adamantium. So there's a mild allusion to the fact he may have still tried an endurance test at a later point or went to someone else for enhancement. That might be a story yet to come.

The X-Men continuity is a little bit of a mess, and it's also juggling the ripple effect of DOFP now too. So the majority of X1-X3 either didn't happen or happened differently now. The same is true for XMO:W. Only everything before the 70s is still continuity, everything after the 70s is different now with the ripple effects causing births to have happened at different eras as parents met sooner in some cases, possibly later in other cases.

And Deadpool is probably AU entirely. Though it could be argued that it's 10 years after the good future in DOFP.

A large chunk of the issue has to do with the writer change ups, and the director shifts, but Kinsberg is working on aligning it back together and has it flowing better from first class on up. X1-3 aren't continuity anymore anyway with DOFP's altering the time stream. So that was mostly a nod and farewell for those fans of the original. That's assuming it even was the X1-3 timeline though. It also cameo'ed Nate Grey(the mutant that was wandering the outlands). We never had a sinister movie, so there are a bunch of stories of that timeline that were never told as that cameo alone suggests.

Personally, I'd rather Marvel not get the rights back yet. Though if the next film goes onslaught, that might be the merging point for the rights. The problem if Marvel gets the rights back, is that then they'll lean on them over the larger library they've got. The larger library needs the exposure, the X-Men can stay at Fox and they can explore that side unhindered. Though there are some stories I'd love for the rights to get intermingled for (Target X) but some slight revisions make that unneeded too.

It's a toss up. We lose a lot of potential if Marvel integrates them into the MCU, but we also gain some better adaptions too. Galactus and the Fantastic 4 would be interesting over in the MCU, but tbh, the first two movies were a pretty close MCU adaption anyway. If they had followed through with the original Fan4 plan and done the silver surfer prequel, they would have fixed the Galactus cloud issue. Allegedly there was a last minute change to use the shadow because they wanted to save the bigger reveal for the Surfer's standalone movie.

Then the new one leaned heavier on material from the ultimate comics rendition.

The one thing to remember with the X-Men movies though is that the original don't have a set date. It's set to a "not so distant future." The adding historic points in the past ones is what set the dates. So the original X1-x3 can be anywhere from 2006-2030. Though DOFP's future is suggested as 2023.

Yeah that'd do it alright. That and a very awkward walk back to...well wherever it is he hangs his cape.

Karl Urban is MFing Skurge in new Thor movie. Hasbro release the MFing figure.

I was just about to post that, in fewer words I suppose.

A comic Skurge/movie Hela two pack would be awesome and will never happen.

[snake5289]

The possibility of Ghost Rider and Blade getting their own Netflix series is what has me all giddy with excitement.

They are full-on killing it with these.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. I'd love to get MCU versions of Hela, Skurge, Valkyrie, but we'll probably only get a repainted 2-pack of Thor and Hulk. And so the cycle will continue...

You forgot the third possibility, Moon Knight!!!
I don't think that Ghost Rider would work very well with a 13 episode series, a 4 episode or so mini series sounds more right for the character. Ghost Rider's world is just so much more mystical and otherworldly than any of the other released/possible Netflix shows that it seems like it would be the most expensive (what with all that necessary CGI) so a shorter more contained story would be the better option. I think it's in big part thanks to those two awful Nic Cage movies but it just feels like Ghost Rider has been permanently stained in the media outside of the comics, we'll see if Marvel themselves can fix this if they go through with it.

Yeah guys this isn't funny. I would be devastated if Jennifer Lawrence raped me.
