Wolverine and Mystique being played by the same actors kinda pushes it towards prequel. Especially as both are knowing nods to those who've seen the original films.

Registered 4 years agoMystique wasn't played by the same actress outside of an in-joke cameo.
And wolverine's appearance was again more of an in-joke.Now with 80% more Cthulhu!

Registered 7 years agoBoth cameos make no sense if it is a reboot. Go read my post again, although it was so short I felt sure this time you'd get it in a single try.LB, you really are a massive geek.

Registered 10 years agoI think it's somewhere in the realm of alternate reality in the same universe type comics bullshit, but it's definitely not a prequel in the narrative sense. It's a new story, not a previous chapter in the established one. -

Yes, they don't. It's similar to the DB5 from Goldfinger being in Skyfall. It doesn't make sense but it's just a joke basically and not to be dwelled on.

Registered 2 years agoI wouldn't class it as a prequel, more that some shit happened before the others took place.
The cameos can still make sense if you ignore they used the same actors and just look at the characters.

Registered 7 years agoYep OK fair enough. I can't think of another example of a good prequel, so I guess you're rig...TEMPLE OF DOOM.LB, you really are a massive geek.

Registered 7 years agoTemple of Doom doesnt count because barely anyone knows its a prequel. It doesnt exactly advertise the fact and, like a bond film, they all stand apart as their own ripping yarns.
Except the last one.
It is a rare example of a good prequel, though.---------------------------------------------------------

Registered 10 years agoI'll take ToD as a good example, although Indy is proper Saturday Matinee story-telling stuff. Each episode is what it is and happens in isolation. The timeline is sort of irrelevant (let's ignore Crystal Skull). -

Registered 2 years agoTemple of Doom is a weird one. There's nothing really about it that makes it a prequel, it just happens to take place a couple of years earlier.After chasing sunsets one of life's simple joy is playing with the boys

Registered 7 years agoGodfather 2 has already been mentioned.
To disappear up my own arsehole, Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of historical (and comedy spin off) prequels which incorporated recogniseable characterisations from earlier plays. Falstaff, for example.LB, you really are a massive geek.

Registered 10 years agoAll the Terminator films take place in a loop in time. You can surely argue all of them after the first are prequels. -

Registered 10 years agoBttF doesn't loop in the same way.
Until the Terminator franchise continues past the point where the first Terminator and Kyle Reece are sent back, they're all prequels (arguably). That is the initiation point in time of the Terminator narrative. -
And this is an AWESOME conversation now.
