The New Mutants

Himouto! Sylvanas-chan
Hey, so apaarently Fox is doing a New Mutants movie. And it has the girl who plays Arya in it as well (Maise Williams).
They dropped the trailer, I ownder what cool superhero action we wi--

o_O That is definately a new direction.
 
A girl is a mutant.

(I have no idea what the New Mutants are, they're like another generation of X-Men or something?)

Kinda sorta, once they made the X-Men adults, they needed a teen group of mutants for that demographic. The New Mutants have always been a kind of "Next Generation" type of team.
 
So Runaways needs to be dark teen melodrama like 13 Reasons Why and New Mutants has to be Psycho Horror like holy shit there are a lot of those movies.

I'm a big fan of genre blending, I am not a big fan of genre sucking parasites that bury themselves under the hosts skin and takes them over. I'm convinced that just having a show about young superhumans getting a handle on their powers would do well but apparently the people behind Marvel's tv venture disagrees.

Are you talking movies or TVs???
 
Kinda not bad looking. Hard to judge from the bits we see here. I like the logo being from the 'Demon Bear' period of the book too...
 
Is this one not Netflix? I thought it was yesterday.

So this is their follow-up to the x movies? Is it a sequel or seperate from Logan?
It's 20th Century Fox. X-Men related stuff is separate from general Marvel/MCU stuff, and thus it can't really be compared to Runaways or the Netflix shows. Your post was mixing up a lot of Marvel projects.

Anyway, the New Mutants movie is part of Bryan Singer's, the producer of the main X-Men films (yes both trilogies), plan to design a larger universe for the X-Men since the start of the new trilogy, hence why we see more mutant spin-offs outside the main X-Men: Deadpool, Logan, Legion (though it's not quite in continuity), The Gifted, and now The New Mutants. Future plans include a movie on Gambit and/or one on the X-Force.

...the fuck is this shit? o_O

I saw this trailer before Thor: Ragnarok earlier tonight (go see that, by the way :D), and had absolutely no idea that it was for New Mutants until they told me.

That's not a good thing :facepalm:

I didn't even see any hint of the Demon Bear.
 
Okay, so the only question here is if it's all their powers acting up, one of the newbies or the staff are running some kind of experiment.
 
Honestly, I'm excited simply because this is something I haven't seen done with Superhero Movies before, and as Fox has shown with Logan (A western), Deadpool (a pretty filthy Comedy), and Sins of Future past (A time Travel Story), the best Fox superhero films are the ones that do not fit the regular superhero mold.

Also, obviously, I'm a big fan of the New Mutants.

The trailers could be better, admittedly, but I've never been a fan of Horror trailers so I'm giving that a pass.

Also, between Illyana, Dani Moonstar, and the Demon Bear .... and arguably Warlocks father, New Mutants are basically the best superhero comic to go the Horror route for. Plus, I mean, one of the members is essentially a werewolf.

You have a werewolf, and a Sorceress touched by the influence of Elder Gods. Horror's right there.
 
Huh, interesting, tho I've NOT seen this on any sites. So take with a grain of salt.



I'm still deep in the 90s in most of my x-men comics readings but I would put Rahne up there on the list of X-men who actually are just straight. Someone who has read more with her can correct me on that of course.

On the other hand movies should not be tired down to comics and should be able to do new things. Not like repressed catholic girl who is feels guilty about the fact that she wants to fuck needs any specific orientation to work.

*puts on old Comic Geek hat*

Actually, the original New Mutants were subtexty as HELL with Rahne and Dani. They referred to each other as 'soul mates' and had this weird ESP link that let Rahne talk to Dani in wolf form. It only kinda stopped being a thing when the original writer, Chris Claremont, left.

Mind you, ol' CC wrote a LOT of characters as 'bi' basically. He even wanted Storm/Kitty Pryde to be a ship.

Oh right I remember now. I've been so deep in the "Rahne is genetically coded lust for Havok" era that I keep thinking of all the times she was boy hungry. Comics are weird. But yeah Claremont seemed to default to 'all women are bi' thing pretty often if not always for the best reasons. Claremont was always horny on main after all.
 
Rahne and Dani? Huh. Odd choice, I guess. Illyana would have been my pick, since, y'know, she is(Hi, Kitty!).
