I would agree with you about most comic book movies needing lighter tones, like Spider Man or Avengers, but XMEN have always been dark in tone IMO. Humans are always trying to find ways to kill them, and mutants have to fight to survive without looking like the bad guys--hiding/controlling their abilities. This struggle is really well represented by the disagreement between Xavier and Magneto. Magnetos motivation comes from his experience with concentration camps in Germany, so thats pretty dark already.  Quicksilver and Logan have some funny moments in the film to lighten things up a bt. 

For spoiler text you just need to use the highlighter tool and select the black color. 

As for Wolverine,

At the end of the filme Mystique is disguised as Stryker and recovers Logans body from the river. What will happen next is still speculative and uncertain. Its expected to be addressed in the next film Apocolypse in 2016. Some speculate that Mystique tells Logan that he needs to put himself through the Weapon-X program to get his adamantium skeleton and helps him do that. But again, this is just speculation. Wolverine just isnt Wolverine without his metal or his claws so he will have to go through something like this. Also, Magneto escapes, as well as Mystique, so another speculation is that Magneto can help him with metal. Again, speculation. 

I've been reading Xmen comics forever. I really love the current All New X-Men. They brought back the original X-team to join up with the current team in an effort to get them to regroup. Time travel isn't new in the series, so I was skeptical about how messy it would appear on screen, but I was surprised at how straight forward the story  came through. I look at the comics and films differently, but I like how they used some of the themes from the books and interpreted them in the film. 

The thing with Xavier in X3 ending was that he had a twin in a coma, so he swapped minds before he died. I think it was explained in a DVD extra from X3. And I read this online somewhere, but I like the idea that X3 never happened.

As for Wolverines metal, he could still have gone through the weapon X program after the events of DoFP.

If they are doing a spin-off of Raven/Mystique I would be interested in seeing it. I was skeptical at first, but I think she is such an interesting character to watch-- the spy stuff is cool. 

I agree with your comments about the film. I also like Peter Dinklage as Trask and Quick Silver was just too cool. I liked when he said his mom new a dude that was into metal-- *wink.

After the credits spoiler

- We see egyptian pyramids being built. But there are enourmous blocks floating and spinning in the air forming the pyramid like a giant rubix cube. The camera pans down and we see a young man in a robe with grey skin, who is moving the blocks with telekenisis. Over his shoulder are four horsemen--and then the teaser ends.

and I used no armor or gear at all-- with a few exceptions--I like to roll light. The fire longsword that I found in Forest of Giants got me through a lot of the game, unitl I switched to Bastard Sword and upgraded it, cuz I prefer large two-handed weapons. You can definitly roll whatever gear or weapon you want in this game. 

Thats crazy. I used the same ring, removed armor and would instantly die when I hit the first platform. I had to wait until further into the game for the ladder builder to show up to properly get down into the Black Gulch. Very cool that you accessed area early. That's the wierd thing about this game.

I think the problem for XBox One now is that when 3rd party games are compared, the PS4 version will slightly edge it out as being the better version which means MS will have to have very strong 1st party games, which are few and far between-- just like WiiU. That's just how I feel as a casual observer. If I had to choose hardware, I'd go with Sony. As for games, it is still early in new console life to build libraries, although PS+ does offer great games and Sony al so has them Indies everyone seem to love. 

Its also on PC. It actually kills my battery on iPad which is why I prefer to play on PC. It's rather good, but it does require deck building or whatever.

How did you get down the well to Grave for Rat Boss? I thought you needed a ladder to do that? If you beat Persuer in Forest of Giants, then right after the boss you find a way to get to Bastille. If you didn't fight Persuer, you can go and fight the Tower of Hades Boss and access No Mans Warf, which will also lead you to Bastille. 

Darks Souls 2 is really great. My issues with it are only minor. Multi-player seems to be a major focus this time around. Arkham Knight looks impressive, but so does that Lord of the Rings game, Mordor or something. 

What kind of build you running for your second play through of Dark Souls 2? I used a regular strength build and a Bastard Sword plus Pyromancy for my first run. I read that Sorcery is the hard build in this game and Faith is the new easy. Hmm...
