"X-Men: Apocalypse" is being shown nationwide, and many fans and comic fans are probably there. I walked into the theater for the first time and watched this mutant century battle. After restarting the timeline in the last one, the new X-Men movie universe shown in this work is full of highlights, with the number of mutants and special effects scenes reaching the highest in the series. Regardless of the overwhelming bad reviews of foreign media, the tribute to comics and pop culture stalks in this film, as well as future movie plot eggs, are the topics of most concern to movie fans and comic fans. Now let’s count the 30 easter eggs in this film and see which heavy materials you missed during the movie.
Opening credits tribute to the opening of the 92 version of the animation
is very different from before-first the 20th Century Fox logo appeared, the "X" letter was highlighted one second before the black scene, and the classic theme song of the "X-Men" series was also mixed during the period. This kind of performance is reminiscent of the classic OP of the 92 version of the "X-Men" animation, and the transition is also achieved by highlighting the X logo, which is impressive.
In the
script layout of "A History of Blood and Tears in the Pyramid" , director Brian Singer borrowed from Howard Hawkes' "A History of Blood and Tears in the Pyramid" in 1955. Among them, the section where the Apocalypse King is adored by thousands of people is the opening scene of the return of Pharaoh Khufu in "The History of Blood and Tears in the Pyramid". The plot of the rebels using stones to destroy the pyramid from the inside and bury the apocalypse almost copied the finale of "A History of the Pyramid"-the architect Washita set up lower levels of institutions to complete the pharaoh’s burial ceremony in the tower while releasing the great The stones sealed the pyramid and died together with the imperial concubine who usurped the throne.
The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"-famine, death, war, and plague are the four major killers in the Bible "Revelation" that destroy the world, but now they are widely used in comics, games and other fantasy themes, "X-Men" series Comics are no exception. This team first appeared in the 11th century. Every time the Apocalypse returns, it will choose four superhumans as his deputy and give them more powerful mutant abilities. In the ending egg of the last "Reverse the Future", the four knights of the Pharaoh era acted as the human background. In this film, they finally appeared in the film, but they were destroyed by the group as soon as they appeared. In addition to angels in the comics, heroes such as Wolverine, Hulk, and Sentinels have also been knights of the apocalypse.
Meatballs
in cages first contest in the German circus, had appeared in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in the "meat ball" (Blob) became the first Angels fall by the wayside, did not even being exposed face He left the field hastily. However, fans of the series know that the last "Reverse the Future" restarted the X-Men universe, and the appearance of Meatball at this time also made this film and the angry "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine" draw a clear line.
Angel of Death
In the battle between Nightcrawlers and Angels, the head of the circus called the angel "Angel of Death" in order to build momentum on the scene. In the comics, the angel was brainwashed and transformed by Apocalypse after losing his wings, and became a "death" knight—Archangel, who worked for Apocalypse, although he was killing the iceman himself (just respecting the ice sculpture, just to take advantage of the sense of guilt). After awakening the angel’s self), he recovered himself, but once the mission fell into crisis, the personality of the archangel would take over, growing mechanical wings and turning into blue skin to kill all sides.
Caliban
was once in the comics as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse-the death knight Caliban also appeared in this film. As a mutant, he was born extremely ugly. His father called him the deformed servant of Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest—"Caliban. His specialty is to locate mutants, within 25 miles. No one of the same kind can escape his magic eye. After being transformed into a "Plague Rider" by Apocalypse, he can also absorb the negative energy around him, and he will have a fever and epilepsy when he stares at you. In the movie, he is more like a black market businessman.
Lingdie
Lingdie is undoubtedly the sexiest existence in the whole film. The character set completely copied the comic image of a female ninja in a purple swimsuit. The right hand "Sura Snow" katana and the left hand spiritual power sword also conform to its ability setting. In addition, Lingdie and Angel are a couple in the comics. In the movie, Lingdie’s recommendation of angels to Tianqi may imply that the two were old acquaintances. Outside the play, the actor of Lingdie—Chinese-American actress Olivia Maen was a candidate for the wife of "Deadpool". She withdrew from the audition when she learned that the role's action scenes were all in bed. The producer of Deadpool invited the crew of "Apocalypse", and only then did we have the sexy female ninja we saw.
Storm
In Storm super ability to see through burglary businessman plot, the background music is the British new wave band "A Flock of Seagulls" of the song, "I Ran", only to be re-made Egyptian edition. In addition, the hair design of Nightcrawler was influenced by Michael Score, the lead singer of the band. As for Storm Girl’s Mohigan haircut, it was originally a spoof of painter Paul Smith, but it was finally finalized in Chapter 173 of "Extraordinary X-Men V1" in 1983.
X-Men New Cadets In
this work, the X-Men team can be said to be the most in the series, and many X-Men recruits from the golden age have joined in one after another. The origin story of Nightcrawler is also insinuating-he was born in a circus and was abused as a freak show freak. Li Qianhuan’s yellow dress style is completely copied from the comics, but it is a pity that her ability to release fireworks variants has not been fully demonstrated.
Star Trek Terrier
In the bridge section of Apocalypse’s visit to the Storm Girl, the second season of "Star Trek" "Who mourns Adonis" is being played on TV. In this episode, an alien who calls himself "Apollo" appears to humans. He was angry when he didn't treat him as a god. He was still showing off his supernatural power in a huge scale in the play. The above apocalypses have been done in the film, and they are all kinds of lying guns. In addition, the director of the film Singh also played a crew member in "Star Trek 10: Nemesis", and "Old Professor X"-Captain Picard played by Patrick Stewart happens to be his boss.
According to the official black
laser eye, Li Qianhuan, Phoenix Girl and other freshmen could not stay in the academy. A group of people went into the city to watch "Star Wars 3: The Jedi Strikes Back". "Dazzler" (Dazzler) record, the feature film did not appear) After watching it, his skills are fully used: "The ending of the movie sequel is always the darkest." Talking about "X-Men 2" directed by Singer. The Phoenix girl immediately added another sentence: "The third part is always the worst." This is undoubtedly a complaint that "X-Men 3: Last Stand" has smashed the signature of the series, and many fans simply do not admit the existence of this unfinished work.
Professor X, Moira's son , was hit hard after learning that Moira had a baby. Viewers familiar with the "X-Men" comics should know that Moira's son Kevin was nicknamed "Proteus" in the comics, and he is a super mutant with strong mental power. Brian Singer originally planned to include it in the movie's villain army, but given the cost of a large number of CGI special effects. It is worth mentioning that. The name of Proteus appeared in the profile of General Stryker in "X-Men 2", and it seems that Singer has long deliberately put this villain who can play possession and can distort the mutant's abilities on the screen.
Magneto’s daughter,
Lao Wan’s first daughter in the comics, Anya Eisenhardt, also appeared in the film. In the original film, she died in a fire. Magneto had a chance to save her but was mutated. Human haters obstructed, Magneto, who lost his beloved daughter, went completely black. The Magneto daughter in the movie is renamed Nina and has the super ability to communicate with birds, which is very similar to the new mutant Moonstar in the comics. It's a pity that we won't see her in future X-Men movies.
When the heavy metal band Lingdie took the master Tianqi to interview the angel, the angel still had a "wine and drunk" walking dead, and his wings were also torn apart in the battle with the nightcrawler. And his transition section was filmed very heavily. With the classic track "The Four Horsemen" of the heavy metal band in the 1983 album "Kill'Em All", Apocalypse not only gave him a pair of cool pulls Feng's metal wings, and then shaved him a popular Undercut, the blue face tattoo also alluded to the blue skin of the archangel in the comics.
Look that booty .....
apocalypse Declaration
comic villain before the destruction of the world, always put on a potential X made a speech to the segment, apocalyptic natural no exception. The most classic is the phrase "everything humans built will be destroyed, and I will rebuild a new generation in the embers." ("everything they built will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one" ) This sentence is directly based on the 9th episode of the first season of the 92 version of the "X-Men" animation. The original sentence is "The old world is about to die, and we will recast a new era in the sea of fire and blood...in the old world." In the embers, we will rebuild a new generation.
old
man shows his affection. According to the old man Stan Lee himself, this film is his most satisfying cameo. And this time, the old man is no longer a man to be cute, but he brought his wife, Joan Lee, to watch the nuclear weapons go to the sky. The retro atmosphere + military secret meeting + nuclear doomsday scene can not help but remind people of "Terminator", "Doctor Strange Love", and even the game "Fallout 4".
The King’s speech was
in the bridge segment where Apocalypse used Professor X’s spiritual power to achieve global denuclearization. As nuclear bombs flew into space, the second movement of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony sounded, and the voice-over of Apocalypse plus the world Panic reaction shots, this doomsday shot is quite literary. The Second Movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony was also used in the climax of George VI's World War II speech in "The King's Speech". The salute is self-evident
"The Eternal King"
On the first day of laser eye freshmen enrollment, Professor X was holding a book of King Arthur's classic novel "The Once and Future King" (The Once and Future King) to the students. In Singer's "X-Men 2", Magneto, who was imprisoned in a plastic prison, is also reading this novel.
In the ruby quartz goggles
movie, Professor X created a pair of ruby Quartz goggles to block various energy waves and light waves in order to help Laser Eye control its variant ability. In the comics, his red quartz goggles were originally created by "Mr. Omen" to control his experimental body. It was not until Scott escaped from the orphanage at the age of 17 and met Professor X that the latter gave him the iconic monocular goggles.
The
X-Men’s exclusive vehicle, the Black Bird, also appeared in the film, with its retro streamlined shape highly restored to comics. The beast is still showing off the various functions of this baby to the devilish girl, but it is a pity that he was blasted into dregs by the catastrophe within three seconds of being handsome, and it also caused the academy to be bombed into the sky. After that, the X-Men stole a Stryker fighter and rushed to the battlefield. This fighter was more like a bird in appearance. It is not an exaggeration to call it Blackbird 2.0.
A home Quicksilver
as the most lovable character in the series, Quicksilver is actually a standard Igawa. When Kuaiyin debuted, he wore a T-shirt of "Invincible King Kong" (a sci-fi TV series in the 1970s, about an astronaut transformed into a superhero with similar abilities to Kuaiyin), and played the title song of "Knight Rider" Playing Pac-Man, he was still playing Atari’s classic game "Pong" in 1974. At the end of this episode, we saw him wearing an Atari Logo T-shirt.
80s pop culture
With the sound of the famous golden song "Sweet Dreams" of the Eurythmics band in 83 years, Kuaiyin began his solo show, and various rescue scenes were dizzying. During this period, he also drank a can of Coca-Cola's short-lived product—Top Clear, followed by an MJ spacewalk, wore Rush T-shirts all the time, and even after the leg was lame, the plaster wrapped "I love Rush". In addition, Li Qianhuan also wore a T-shirt from the legendary rock band Journey. The X-Men uniform of Nightcrawler obviously borrowed from MJ's "trembling" red jacket. 80's movie posters can also be seen everywhere. Among them, "Crazy Tonight", "Emerald" and "Rookie Counterattack" were all released in 1984.
Weapon
X-Men movie lack the uncle Wolf who is leading the way? Thanks to the restart of the previous timeline, we can see the famous origin story of Wolverine in the original film-"X-Weapon" "Plan" (Weapon X), Wolverine was given the Edman alloy bone as an X weapon. As he rushed out of the cage, he wore a heavy helmet and was reborn with a tube full of blood. Apart from not having a bare bottom, this version of the old wolf almost copied the classic character of "X weapon" in the comics.
embryonic love triangle?
Whether in comics or movies, the love triangle between Phoenix female piano Gele, old wolf, and laser eye has always been a thread of emotion throughout. In this film, the ambiguous scenes of Phoenix Girl and Laser Eye are done very well, and it is certain that the two will definitely become a pair in the future "X-Men" movie. And the intimate contact of the old wolf being awakened by the Phoenix woman also planted the seeds of love for the latter, but in view of Hugh Jackman's immediate retirement, "Wolverine 3" is going to go on the "Twilight Wolf Home Search" line without the Phoenix woman. The love triangle may no longer exist in future sequels. It is worth mentioning that Professor X is also a fan of the Phoenix Girl in the comics, and he even dared to admit that he fell in love with the Phoenix Girl in front of the laser eye.
The legend of the black phoenix was
in Qin Ge Lei's nightmare, she confessed to Professor X that she had a dark power in her body. In the climax of the film, Qin Gerei completely released this dark power, and a group of phoenix flames appeared behind her with full firepower, turning the so-called mutant god into scum. Audiences who have watched the third part of the X-Men understand that this is the power of the Phoenix in Qin Ge Lei's body. Perhaps in future X-Men movies, we will also see Qin Ge Lei being backlashed by the power of the phoenix, turning black into a classic comic chapter of "Black Phoenix".
Wheelchair bald men
Professor X, played by a US finally attained in the film, practice to the highest level of wheelchair bald men. Because he didn't want to be the new host of Apocalypse, Professor X used his mental strength to resist, which caused him to collapse. In the comics, Professor X has been bald since his debut in 1963. In the subsequent origin story of hindsight, the screenwriter explained that Professor X was bald at a young age due to excessive use of the brain and the side effects of mental power.
At the end of the Golden Age X-Men
movie, the X-Men finally put on the personalized uniforms that are closest to the comics, and are no longer an army of black leather jackets. The white and blue uniform of the witch, the laser eye red quartz goggles + 3 armed belts, the silver and blue uniform of the fast silver + goggles, the yellow and blue uniform of the Phoenix woman, and the nightcrawler Mj "trembling" red jacket are all right The perfect re-enactment of the classic comic style. Coupled with a bald head drilled out of the crowd, the Golden Age X-Men has been reorganized in this film.
Jeopardy training room
after facelift is completed, the "crunch training room" (Danger Room) finally coming out, which is used daily training X-Men by holographic simulation battlefield live. At the beginning of "X-Men 3", the old X-Men also conducted tactical drills in the danger training room. However, the danger training room in the comics is no longer as fixed as the corner on the second floor. When you go to the toilet in X Academy, you will be forcibly adjusted by the mechanical tentacles sticking out of the wall. In the "Astonishing X-Men" series written by Joes Weiden, the danger training room even has self-awareness and transformed into a blue female robot. The independent name "Danger" (Danger) joined the X war. police.
In the Easter
Egg part of Mr. Omen , a mysterious organization returned to Weapon X base, took the blood of the old wolf and put it in a secret box, and the nameplate of the box said "Essex Corp"—Essex Group, which naturally alludes to The old enemy of the X-Men-Nathaniel Essex (Nathaniel Essex), which is Mr. Sinister (Mr. Sinister)! He is a strange heresy in the genetic sciences of the 19th century. In the era when Darwin proposed "Monkey to Human", he clamored that there would be mutants in the future. This theory quickly made him a laughingstock in genetics, and even Darwin suggested that he see a psychiatrist. After being blacklisted by the upper class, Essex began a more radical human experiment, not even letting go of his own son. And his enthusiasm for human evolution attracted the attention of Apocalypse.
The devastated Essex quickly broke his family. Before his wife died in childbirth, he said he was a complete sinister (Sinister). He had no love for him and accepted the transformation of the apocalypse under the name of infamy. He became immortal and possessed a strong spirit. Powerful "Mr. Omen". In addition to continuing to study mutants to strengthen herself, Omen’s biggest hobby is copying and pasting. We often make an army of clones to lead the battle. The greatest clone of Omen is the cloned Phoenix Girl. She has a name with Laser Eye. The muscular hunk named "Cable" is about to appear in Deadpool 2 as his cheap, genuine boyfriend. And this tube of blood in the movie is likely to replicate the female clone of Wolverine-X23.
The plot of the "Facility" organization and the Essex group in the X-23 film cleaning the battlefield to take the serum can not help but reminds people of the comic book "X Weapon" plan went bankrupt, its branch organization-"The Facility" (The Facility) continued The plot of the experimental mutants, obviously Essex Group is the "facility" organization of the X-Men movie universe, and the gold medal product of this organization is the female Wolverine-X-23.
The birth of X-23 was related to Sarah Ginny, the top scientist of the facility organization. Because the Y chromosome in the blood of the stolen Wolverine could not be repaired, after 22 male cloning and no results, Dr. Ginny used it 23 times. The X chromosome successfully matched the gene sample, and she gave birth to the female Wolverine X-23, and named her Laura Ginny. Laura was trained as a killing machine since she was born, with two claws on the back of her hand and one on her foot. Each one was torn off alive and then plated with Edman metal to put it back. Like the old wolf, the comics of X-23 are also full of plasma stumps, which is very suitable for the next R-rated "Wolverine 3" or "Deadpool 2" debut. In addition, in the comics, the old wolf of the main world is dead, X-23 is the current Wolverine, and the movie catches up with Hugh Jackman's retirement. In the future X-Men movies, there may really be a female Wolverine who continues to cut melons and vegetables.
