Rejoice Motherfuckers! The ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Trailer Is Here
OMG! YAASSSSSS!…what other ridiculous internet terms can I use to describe how I’m feeling right now? 20th Century Fox has dropped the first trailer for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ and that shit was glorious. The action packed trailer covers everything X-Men fans wanted with a bit of extra nods thrown in for those of us who grew up with the Fox Kids Saturday morning cartoon. This time around the time period is the colorful, lively 1980s. We are finally coming full circle with the original X-Men as we’re introduced to young Jean Grey, Scott ‘Cyclops’ Summers, Nightcrawler and most importantly Storm. Lets just get the real star of this trailer out of the way now, Apocalypse himself genuinely seems threatening. It becomes very clear that it’s going to take an army of mutants to take this motherfucker out, especially seeing how his bag of tricks include controlling other mutants. A matter of fact this son of a bitch has powers that would fuck up an army of mutants check this out courtesy of X-Men Wiki:
Superhuman Strength: Apocalypse possesses superhuman strength that he can further increase by drawing upon outside energy sources; Apocalypse has shown to be strong enough to physically restrain the Hulk while the Hulk was in an enraged state. Hence, Apocalypse is capable of lifting far in excess of 100 tons.
Superhuman Stamina: Apocalypse’s body produces practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity. He can exert himself at peak capacity indefinitely.
Invulnerability: Apocalypse is highly resistant to injury. With the Celestial modifications, this resistance to harm was amplified, making him virtually impervious to harm, although it is now possible (after his original body was destroyed) to cause him injury that would not be immediately regenerated by his power.
Flight: Apocalypse can enable himself to fly, by either transforming his arms into wings, jets, or through telekinetic use.
Teleportation: Apocalypse can teleport himself and others around vast distances across the planet and has shown the ability to teleport an entire fortress with him while leaving those within behind.
Bio-Molecular Alteration: Apocalypse has total control over the molecular structure of his body and can alter it at will. This means that matter manipulation has no effect on him, and can adapt his molecular structure to any adversity.
Immortality: Apocalypse’s original body was immortal, even before being modified by the Celestial ship, he had lived for thousands of years. Apocalypse can enter a coma-like state of suspended animation during which he may recover from any wounds with the assistance of his Celestial technology. The down side of his altering by the Celestials and his enhancement was that the techno-organic virus needed to allow this to happen ravaged his body requiring him to find new ones over the years his forever young.
So yeah. Good luck with that X-Men. To be fair those are comic Apocalypse’s powers, I’m sure they’ve changed it for the movie.
I definitely enjoyed this trailer and I gotta admit I had no real interest in this film yet. The stills and set photos did nothing for me but this trailer definitely got me on board. What did you guys think?
