    So I just saw X-Men First Class and at the end of the movie I realized that there is no way that this movie is in the same universe as the first 3 X-Men movies.One reason is that Magneto and Xavier met Jean Grey together as friends, when Jean Grey was a child. This was shown in a flashback, in X-Men 3. But, in X-Men First Class, Xavier and Magneto part ways before this event. Do you guys agree? Or disagree? Post some more reasons

    That's one reason. Another reason is that X2 specifically say that Magneto helped Charles create Cerebro, while in First Class it was Beast. 
     
    I think they're rebooting the series while making slight references to the first trilogy, but they are not trying to stay in continuity.

    @JediXMan: I've been calling it a soft reboot which basically means they're keeping what they want but still making it it's own world

    Pretty much, yeah.
     
    Personally, if I were the one in charge, I wouldn't have Magneto leave until the sequel. What this movie lacked was the relationship between Charles and Magneto. It's very important and built upon. They were good friends for years.

    @JediXMan: If I had been in charge it would have been a full reboot with the real original xmen but I also agree with your thoughts

    Well, that too. And I would have given Moira that Scottish accent.

    @tomzoid13: I have the same feeling towards Kevin Bacon, not that he did a bad job but there's just something about that dude that makes me want to punch him. Though I have felt this way ever since the first time I saw footloose so technically this has nothing to do with the movie

    He wasn't bad, but I didn't see him as Shaw. That and...
     
    HE LACKED A PONY TAIL!
     
    That kinda irritated me.

    @JediXMan: Don't get me wrong I think Kevin Bacon is a good actor its just for some reason I just don't like him I suppose that works to his advantage when he's playing a villain

    True. I neither like nor dislike him. He wasn't a bad villain, but again, I don't see him as Sebastian Shaw.

    Could work. Maybe. 
     
    I was actually discussing it with Edamame. We think Sinister would fit; a lot better than Shaw, actually.

    I meant fit in the storyline. Sinister makes more sense than Shaw.

    @JediXMan: True, plus if you ask me Shaw was too big a part of the action cause that's not his style he's a master mind type who only fights when he has to the movie version seemed to be trying to impress people where as the comic version doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about him its what makes him cool

    My friends and I also saw that Shaw was also called Schmidt. Is he anyway related to the Red Skull, you know Johann Schmidt

    @Edamame
     
    Just a red diamond appearing for a second would have been enough for me to scream "YES!" in the theater. 
     
    Hm. Guy looks pretty good for the role. Plus, the good thing about Sinister is that he doesn't have to look like he does in the comics. He's known for taking over other bodies, after all
