X-Men: Days of Future Past - What’s the Difference?
- 9 years ago
X-Men: Days of Future past hit theaters last year with the force of a dropping baseball stadium! It had everyone: Magneto! Professor X! And lots and lots of Wolverine! But in the original Marvel Comics story arc, things were a bit different, to say the least!
Comic book movies have gotten so frequent that they’re moving beyond the origin story (usually, anyway, SPIDER-MAN), and tacking the plot lines of actual issues of actual comic books. We’ve got the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming take on Civil War next year. And X-Men: Days of Future Past was very much based on a 2-issue arc in Uncanny X-Men from 1981.
But, boy oh boy, were there some changes along the way. Thanks to the pre-established timeline in Fox’s X-Men universe, the box office draw of certain actors, and the general hazards of source-to-film adaptation, the Days of Future Past storyline went through a lot of changes from page to screen.
What did you think? Have you read the Uncanny X-Men Days of Future Past arc? How do you think the movie compared? What’s your favorite X-Men movie? Would you like to have seen Kitty Pryde take a leading role?
What other works would you like to see us explore on What’s The Difference?
