Tonight’s open thread on Kotaku might (once again) be about super hero movies. Now that we’ve all gotten to take a peek at the X-Men: First Class trailer, it’s probably the right time. I seem to be in the minority about our first look at the new X-Men movie. Maybe it’s that I grew up with a White Queen who didn’t turn to diamond. Maybe it’s that I don’t know who Azazel is. Maybe it’s that despite the appearance of JFK in the trailer, it doesn’t look like it’s set in [[link]] the 1960s. But most likely, it’s the last two X-Men movies I saw. Man, they were terrible. And this new one seems frighteningly rushed. But io9’s breakdown of the trailer certainly helped me overcome my post-2000 X-Men ignorance. https://gizmodo.com/preview/mutant-roll-call-75-gorgeous-screencaps-from-the-x-men-5757431 What do you think?
