You know there's a little symbol on the bar for spoilers, right? Just outline the text you want spoiled and click the eye with the line through it.

That was me. Must have hit post as anonymous. I can actually never remember what the spoiler tag is and nearly every time have to go back and edit it. The auto corrected words and those tags being like they are and unable to edit them is kind of driving me mad.

Edit : thanks @Dave

Use the button that looks like a crossed out eye, it's much faster. Last one on the bar above the text area. Just select what you want spoilered, and click.

Edit: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE

I'm usually on tapatalk, though that's been acting odd lately.

I know there is this accepted theory going around that Xavier takes control of his comatose twins body at the end of of X3, but really in the context of the films he's just back and beyond Logan's moderate surprise at the end of The Wolverine in the airport no one really seems to be concerned a dead man is rolling again. Yes there is a time gap between those movies and the post sentinel era scenes in this movie but it just strikes me as odd it's never addressed. I get that they were closing to ignore much of X3, which would have included has death, but they can't have dismissed all of it otherwise there is no big relief when everyone is back at the end.

That's not really a theory, they establish that he's back in the after credits scene of X3.

Wasnt disputing that he's back, I even said it was in X3, rather the how or why. That is never explained and it feels lazy. It's been awhile since I've seen it the first trilogy but I don't recall them ever mentioning he even had a brother

Ah apparently there is a scene where he discusses that while probably possible, whether it would be ethically right to transfer his conscience.

So...

Not a bad movie, but man there were several really, really dumb things in this movie.
Trask was really lucky that every mutant he encountered when he started going off on his "THERE'S A MUTANT IN HERE KILL IT!" crazy train was actually an evil mutant trying to kill someone. Especially since he nearly destroys brand new international relations when he has Stryker, a US officer, draw his gun on Vietnamese and Chinese officials.

The whole movie would have resolved itself if one police officer, military service member, reporter, or government official was a mutant shot by those sentinels once turned on. Fortunately for our antagonists every mutant encountered was out to solve their issues with violence against them.

Now I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the White House is bigger than a baseball diamond. I almost laughed out loud in the theater when they showed that overhead shot.

So, I looked it up. The white house is, according to the official numbers, 168 feet (51.2 meters) long and 85 feet 6 inches (26.1 meters) wide without porticoes; 152 feet wide with porticoes. Wikipedia tells me the size of an official baseball diamond is 60 feet 6 inches (wtf?) from pitcher's mound to home plate, and 95 feet from pitcher's mound to the edge of the infield. Homeplate-to-edge, in a straight line, is 155 feet, while it's slightly less across. The white house is larger, but really not by much.

From Wikipedia:

RFK Stadium:
Field size
Left Field: 335 ft (102 m)
Left-Center: 380 ft (116 m)
Center Field: 410 ft (125 m)
Right-Center: 380 ft (116 m)
Right Field: 335 ft (102 m)
Backstop: 54 ft (16 m)

It seems like plenty of room.

I don't know my American history, but were those buildings there in the 70s?

Those buildings are the west and east wings, built in 1902 and 1942 respectively. Funnily enough, the presidential emergency bomb shelter is in the east wing, not the Executive residence (middle building) as depicted in the movie.
