If she can control every molecule in her body, why would she have to poop?
It didn’t, magnetism and electricity go hand in hand so he should be able to manipulate data just as easily as tossing a car. Was Emma Frost one of the dead mutants Erik mentioned to Charles?
Sure, but magnetism/electricity and computer architecture don’t go together hand in hand. Or programming. I don’t expect him to be able to wave his hand over a computer and read the files on it or be able to operate it - which is essentially what he did with the sentinels.
Well he also stole all the plans so he would have known how they worked.
I thought having Magneto mention the thing about Wolverine’s claws being metal was maybe a hint that if things changed in this timeline, Magneto might be the one to give him the adamantium claws. However, the whole thing with Mystique being the one to rescue him has me confused, she’s definitely not working with Magneto at that point.
I just want to say that I’m SOOOOOOOOO ecstatic that they brought back Jean and Cyclops. Fuck Ratner for killing them off! I hope the whole team’s back together in the Apocalypse movie. Against a guy like that, you’ll need every bit of power to beat
Haven’t read through all the above, but just a fan theory as to why Charles Xavier reincarnated looks like Patrick Stewart again, is crippled again, despite being a transferred consciousness…
Conceivably, Xavier projects that image. Maybe he even only projects it into mutants. So maybe average Joe sees the kid he Quantum Leaped into, but mutants “see” Professor X?
Well the guy he jumped into was in a coma which easily explains his being crippled also.
That’s okay. I broke down and read some stuff on the Interwebs about the movie over the weekend. But I appreciate the answers from everyone.
My assumption is that we’re now dealing with alternate timelines. In the timeline we saw in this movie–some but not all of the events of X3 happened. Prof X was never killed in this timeline, but Scott and Jean were.
You then have to decide if last year’s The Wolverine also took place in this new timeline and Logan was shocked no to see Prof X alive, but to see the he and Magneto working together or if it was yet ANOTHER alternate timeline.
Really? I thought Mystique transformed into him when walking away from Magneto & Beast in Paris…
But it was hard to tell because he had his back to the camera.

This touches on one of my problems with Mystique and I wonder if it is explored at all in the comic books.
When she morphs into another person’s likeness, she duplicates clothes . . . and accessories. If she’s imitating a person who wears glasses and a hat, she has the glasses and the hat as objects separate from herself. Couldn’t she then just create objects out of nothing? If she’s morphed into the likeness of someone who is carrying a sidearm, she has a sidearm- is it functional? Could she draw and fire? If the objects are functional, and if she can create them while imitating someone else, couldn’t she just create a gun or a sword or a hand grenade or anything she might need in any given situation?
I would bet that in fact Magneto does walk around wishing everybody else was made of the metal that he controls.
Wikipedia says almost definitely probably yes.
RE: Magneto controlling the sentinals…
I don’t think that he controlled the chips, computer waves, or anything else like that. I was under the impression that when he hijacked the train carrying them he ripped up the metal in the tracks, dismantled them, then weaved them into the physical servos (tendons I guess…) of the robots, and then controlled the metal to control them.
Which brings me to this point: Is Magneto REALLY that powerful? In this movie he dismantled metal beams like string cheese, then in the final battle he moved an entire stadium (not entirely made of metal methinks), then had a battle scene where he was fighting people WHILE independently controlling 5 or whatever machines and their battles?
That’s insane.
Yes, in the comics and movies, Magneto is in fact that powerful/skilled, sometimes moreso.
Course, if you think about it - the Prof isn’t a slouch in the powers and control department either. Hmmm, let me use my mind-powers that I haven’t touched in somewhere between 5 years and a decade, and find one person out of this world of approximately 5 billion (in the 70s). Yep. Found her. Now I’ll randomly take over each person she walks by to have a conversation with her, and erase their memories of me doing so while I’m still talking to her through someone else further down the line. No biggie.
Personally, I think it’s a bit ridiculous to have them be so powerful, but it is what it is.
Well for the stadium lifting part, the rebar in the concrete would allow him to move the entire structure, at least those parts that were structurally connected to that concrete. I would guess.
And for all that, Magneto isn’t an Omega-class mutant. Just a very powerful one.
That’s what I was hoping would happen, but the sentinels were operating on a level far too independent to suggest that Magneto was controlling their every action (especially from a few miles away while lifting RFK out of the ground). Add to that the scene where he tells the sentinel “now do what you were made to do”, suggests (at least to me), that Magneto essentially reprogrammed them. It didn’t break the movie for me or anything, it was just a small detail that was hard to swallow.
