Firstly I'm excited for both Zoe Kratiz to be in the First Class film and I'm more than thrilled that Angel Salvadore is being played by her and being portrayed in the film. And people say that she doesn't seem like Angel in the comics but I for one can see that she is. Both Angel are deep and insecure at the core about their (her) mutation and both seem grow extremely passionate with pride for mutants after sometime around them even though she still dislike her physical one. And from what I've seen from the previews she still has her sassy personality and the defensive nature from her past. 
 
But anyways I think Angel does look like she should look taking from the fact that she is possibly Afro-Latino (last name Salvadore) so Zoe is perfect though Rihanna/Arlenis Sosa Pena/Emanula du Paula/Zoe Saldana or someone with darker skin could have been a little better but I don't think that anyone could bring the emotional deepness that I think Zoe will bring Angel. And if the make an older version of her I think Rosario Dawson would fit playing Angel perfectly.  Plus since this is a alternative world like GREGalicious said I think that their taking from the eXiles version of her a more sexier Angel.  Also I love that they through in the Emma/Angel combo as in the comic Emma was a core factor in Angel growing more when Emma took her under her diamond studded cloak and as Mat said. (Ps. SPOLIER - I think Angel will leave the X-men as if one looks when Angel makes her speech Shaw is standing next to her.)
 
And Angel status a stripper isn't right. As Angel in the movie is described to be a Go-Go dancer. And I think that when she shows her mutation to Charles and Erik that it's just one of those moments where to have to expose yourself to others to show them who you true are. So again it shows the audience another side of a character that they make not have seen in the comics or just a side to a character that they may not be acquainted with. 
 
Lastly, I love that they keep Angel's power set the way they are in the

comics but changed them also. I understand that they changed them because having Ange's fly wings out all the time would be a high level of money for their SFX budget and making them tattoo's was even cooler (though that doesn't take away from the natural hatred Angel had for her wings in the being). But I would have loved if the winged tattoo's where more down her body with ridges as if the wings where just layered closing towards her body. Like in there Marvel.Com picture's above. I also love the fact that they still give her her acidic spit and the vibrations from her wings.
 
But anyways all and all I can't wait to see Angel Salvadore/Zoe Kravtiz in X-men: First Class.
 
@Cherry Bomb:  It's acid. I think the previews were just fast as Zoe herself has said that Angel has acidic powers. But when I first show it I thought it was fire and that maybe they where going to go with a new codename for her like Dragonfly or something. Lol. But just think that maybe the changed the appearance of it when making it all acidic-like and all slobbing down her face.
@daken_2513: I feel the same way.
@G-Man: I don't think we've fully seen the scene as when Angel flies upward her shirt is on. So maybe she just unties the back.
@CaptainGenisVell: I don't think that they just happened on to the bar. I think it's more Magneto and Professor X found her through Cerebro and went there to recruit her.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed too because Angel Salvadore and Emma Frost are two of my top five marvel characters and I would hate anything else then they deserve to come by them and that can also be said about the other characters of the movie. I do really feel as strong as you about this and I really hope it goes well though I hate the whole Emma diamond for it was much better in Wolverine Origins. XD

@Walker696: Okay I understand what your saying but still Norse myth is still different from something that is based with "humans" in a comic movie and I would also love see those two movies and I do know that their is a point were writers and producers and directs what to reach other other people but I do think that their is a point to having Armando/ Darwinin the movie and it's not because he's black because Angel/ Tempestis also black too (and that being said both characters are actually Afro-Latino). But anyways, I do think that Darwin was thrown into the movie more because of his mutation. He's basically a mutant that keeps on evolving which could possibly be a core study and base of the Professors research.

@Walker696: I don't think Edi/Darwin will be the token Black character as I think he'll leave the team before that because as you can see when Shaw gives them a choose Angel may leave (or will leave) and maybe Darwin will think that maybe this isn't for him (the war). Plus when your mind has to go to think that their always a "token" character then you know theirs something wrong with it. Just set back and watch the movie and then talk about it.

@AetherMaster: Even as one of the biggest Angel Salvadore fans I still think that Angel is still Angel herself. She seems to have her feisty personality but yet still deep enough to insecure about her mutation. And I love that in the film that their still keeping her mutation the same but still changing it though that's only because like CherryBomb said the SFX for the wings would really go out the roof. I just wish that the tattoo would have been more like the wings where layered closer to her body then tattoo's. But that still doesn't take away from the awesomeness that is that they still give her her acidic spit which I think is amazing because Angel seemed to be in a love/hate realtionship with her wings but she hated having to eat pre-digested foods.

 Also I don't think she was randomly through into the film. Angel is an X-men she was a Brotherhood member at on point in time and she was even tutored and taken under the diamond cloak of Emma, herself, when she found out she was pregnant. So Angel as made herself a pathway to be a great X-woman and a featured person in the films. But that's not the only thing. Angel worked under the title Angel IV and because Angel (Warren Worthington) was put into the last X film he couldn't be put into this one so they choose the second Angel who also has wings. Again she has connection with the base characters of the film.  I don't think Angel is like Pixie at all. Pixie is more like Angel more than anything else seeing as Angel at one point was Wolverine sidekick and now its Pixie, but anyways there more different then alike seeing as Angel is more insect and Pixie is well more Pixiesque. And I also don't think she was meant to replace Storm (as we do see a Storm in the preview), but she meant to be "Angel" as Havok is meant to Cyclops. They just went with the elements of the movies before this one.
 
I don't know how I feel about on of my favorite characters being portrayed as stripper but I guess they've taken the fact that it's the sixties and that Angel was a child of abuse and went with it. But I've heard several of the writers and Zoe Kravtiz (whose playing Angel) say that Angel is a go-go dancers and I guess that's very different in the sixties and nowadays. I really would have liked if they had made her a model like in the alternate reality when Angel was a big model which would have been cool because exotic models were big in the sixties and a model with tattoo would have been even bigger. 
 
Anyways I can't wait to see her and the movie.

Addding too all what SC & XEROX-KITTY said, Alisa was always there with the X-students it's just they never knew of her. She even had "close" friendship with Blindfold who "knew" of her but what I'm thinking not totally because be Alisa would have still been invisible in her visions seeing as Alisa is able to stay invisible for longer then most with the power. Alisa also may have been interacting with many of the other students as 'Special Class' other girl other No Girl is mentioned but never seen or heard so these could have been Alisa. We really don't know how long Alisa been at the school but I'm just happier they've revealed her. Plus, Alisa history hasn't been fully revealed as she asked Scott and Jean and Xorn (Xorn and Jean found her) to all keep her and her presence a secret but we don't know why totally and who she is current in hiding from.

@MethodMan008:
Me too, but it still should make a difference as it brings a new light to the comics and marvelous character.

Oya for Idie is pretty.
Velocidad for Gabriel is a no. Possibly  Acelerar?
Primal for Teon is pretty cool because he's like the new Beast/Sabertooth.
Transonic for Laurie is a no for me. I think something like Vitesse is nice. It means speed in French and I just chose it because I didn't know if Laurie was French Canadian but seeing as her last name is French I would guess so, but Allure or Lancer also work.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!  SPOILER ALERT!

Monet and Guido are Muslim. No, but Monet is.
No Caption Provided


 Monet who holds a passports to Bosnia, Algeria, and France all which have a mass Islamic populous but it did any one ever think that are little Monet is would be Muslim. I didn't think about it until today when I saw a comment in the Weekly Crisis, who, posted about these and commented one the fact that M (Monet) identifies herself as a Muslim, but that her manner of dressing doesn't make her a very "unconvincing" one.

Muslims, like Christians, come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. The people of each faith believe that the most 'faithful' could dress conservatively and that they shouldn't drink alcohol, but today many do not believe it a necessary to conform to - or even recognize - these practices. If M, and real people like her, identify as Muslims or of the Islamic faith, no one can deny them that.
And for everyone that finds M unconvincing because she wears tight clothes, shows off her cleavage, swears, and drinks, then by all means, go to somewhere else like Turkey, or try talking to some real Muslims here in the US. They don't all adhere to sharia law, and they don't all view it as their mandate to supervise what women do with their bodies.

I for one applaud X-Factor team, especially Peter David, for addressing her heritage as well as her faith in such an upfront manner. And for giving another side of Muslim woman in the comics not only because Monet is one of my favorite characters but because it Monet's faith allows for comparison not only between her and Sooraya Qadir ( Dust) another female Muslim in the X-men comics but it drawn between the real-life anti-Muslim sentiment that has been up roaring in the past new years and even more in the last month or two and the anti-Mutant sentiment in the comic books.

What do you does think about these new reveal? Do you like her more or less? Do you like that these a big difference between Monet and Sooraya? Or Do even think that Monet was randomly chosen because of her background and personally and maybe it reveal should have been for maybe Ororo Munroe (Storm), or Idie Okonkwo or some else? Any questions?
