And I'm only just realizing...these kids are supposed to be the Strucker/Fenris Twins? Wow :eek:.

Though I'm not expecting the patriarch to start sporting a monocle at some point :p.

At first I was amused one show was linked to Professor X and this one with Magneto but yeah, the Strucker name is hard to ignore.

EDIT: Heh, blink and miss cameo of Blink.

Very interesting to see that it won't only have X-Men characters, but that the X-Men are a thing in this universe. I wonder if it will be a part of the movie continuity.

"Sentinel Services," eh? Status of X-Men and the Brotherhood unknown? I'm intrigued. Plastic prisons and Sentinel spiders? Not so much...

So it seems Reed's character description was a smoke screen and he was involved in Sentinel Services. Should be an interesting journey for his character -- a bit too much like Noah on Heroes but we'll see.

Hm, looked like Caitlin was in prison garb in one scene. Acker and Chung were the only actors I recognized.

Lauren generating that force field thing from air bubbles (?) was intriguing. Two children, one with a decent mastery and one out of control -- should be fun to watch.

It was interesting to learn that Papa Strucker is part of a government agency hunting rogue Mutants. That adds even more poignancy to his kids getting outed as Mutants and his going on the run with his family :ack:.

Interesting that the X-Men and Brotherhood are acknowledged, but with doubts as to whether they really exist. Feels like this could tie-in to Logan and what was said to have happened to the X-Men in that movie :eek:.

This also might tie-in to Polaris' major role given she could be a direct link to what remains of the X-Men or Brotherhood, or at least remembers them :D.

Hey, Blink has pink hair :anime:!

Now I'm wondering if Polaris is just dyeing hers black :rolleyes2:?

Those Spider-Sentinels remind me of the prototype Sentinels from the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon :cool:.

Definitely seems like it's set between the DoFP new present and Logan. Amusing if Deadpool is referenced at least.

Well, at least it means they don't have to worry about continuity questions anymore :sweat:.

I guess one way of looking at is Fox started getting into the Multiverse and different timelines concepts before most other comic book media did :rolleyes2:.

I swear every time I see the Strucker Dad I keep imagining him pulling out a monocle from out of nowhere :p.

It's really cool seeing Thunderbird, Blink, and Polaris' powers in action more :D.

I wonder if Eclipse's girlfriend is someone we should know? Or...Lorna :ack:?

Change of plans, no concert for me tonight! Instead, if everything goes according to plan, I will instead be seeing Chris Barron (of Spin Doctors) in May.
I may actually delete my twitter account. It is just really bad these days, and I have other ways to keep in touch with the few people on there I do care about, so deleting it would be rather easy. Something I once thought I'd never think of doing.

I still haven't made a real post on that Dreamwidth blog I have linked in my signature. Still deciding what I want to do with it, really. I want to practice my reviewing skills so I may use it exclusively as a review blog for whatever I feel like.
