>literally the most overpowered mutant >almost a deus ex machina >can kill almost anyone before you can even blink >they never ask for his help except for breaking magneto out of prison, which he could have did alone anyway
The xmen are all retards. I would ask this guy for help on every single mission for the rest of my life.
Plot hole. His perception of time is insanely fast, because he could sense the explosion and save everyone from the mansion during it. Suddenly, the guy is taken by surprise a minute later by some shitty guns. The director is a hack.
Robert Long
he saved everyone from an exploding mansion, but couldn't look into the window of the helicopter as it landed and moved everyone away?
Dominic Perez
you just dont introduce such overpower character in your capeshit ever
Jayden Morris
>interested to see how Apocalypse will beat him >Apocalypse is just able to react to his superspeed for no reason and catches his leg after being beat up for a few seconds
Jose Flores
I think they wanted you to think that he was too tired after saving everyone to check out the helicopter/be ready for a surprise attack, but they didn't show it well.
still a better slowmo scene than the first movie
John Hughes
Probably because he is the ace in the hole, they don't want to overuse him so that their opponents have a dedicated counter to him - of which a few kinds exist. If they managed to use those then they'd all be shit out of luck.
Joseph Myers
Super speed is one of those powers like time travel. You never in a million years give it to one of your characters, because you're basically just asking for plotholes.
David Rodriguez
Why didn't he just grab some sharp object and cut Apocalypse's head off instead of punching/kicking him which seemed to do nothing?
Kevin Myers
>overpowered >all he can do is run fast
>too weak to kill any mutant that has resistance to physical attacks (which is like most of them since they all bounce through brick walls with no sweat) >can't go through walls or break through them, literally his counter is a locked door >not omniscient or smart, has to actively be part of an event to do something about it so he can't just pop in and save everyone all the time >can't fly, anything airborne is strictly off his limits
He only seems overpowered because he can potentially have the most effect on the human world, but compared to other mutants, he's nothing more than a joke
Aaron Perez
>too weak to kill any mutant that has resistance to physical attacks Speed is power. Besides he could easy do some nasty damage to parts like their eyes.
>not omniscient or smart, has to actively be part of an event He still has a much better perception of the events than most due speed alone, giving him more time to analyze the situation and come up with an ideas. He's basically taking an 1h exam in one day.
Hunter Jenkins
Its been said that colossus can survive a shotgun blast to the eye
Ayden Parker
>gets incapacitated in seconds by Apocalypse Kek, I like Quicksilver, but he got rekt nearly instantly.
Nicholas Hall
Retard
Anthony Edwards
He's pretty much the worst match up though. Although, how does he handle poison?
Ayden Fisher
Is Quicksilver going to make Colossus swallow?
Jace Bennett
>literally the most overpowered mutant He's not anywhere close to being as overpowered as Professor X, who similarly does jack shit in literally every movie he's been in.
Jonathan Diaz
that's professor X if he wasn't a cuck
Owen Harris
And Jean is even more powerful than Xavier.
Easton Bailey
>literally the most overpowered mutant
Literally any telekinetic just has to lift him up into the air.
Michael Robinson
Jean can't control her powers though. Xavier can and he still does absolutely nothing
Lincoln Hughes
...
Aaron Anderson
He moves faster than thought you idort.
Jack Wright
Only if he has the element of surprise
Joshua Reyes
>Xavier can and he still does absolutely nothing
Yeah, I mean he only almost completely wipes out the human race in X2 and accidentally kills all the X-Men in Logan. But yeah, nothing.
Jaxon Flores
Wrong use if idort, faggot.
Leo Davis
Whatever you say, urbandictionary.
Wyatt Jackson
If he can go faster than lightspeed, he can reverse time tho.
Daniel Foster
How did he move people without their organs slamming against their insides and exploding from starting and stopping so suddenly.
Eli Jackson
>I don't understand how force works.
Cooper Robinson
He's holding onto them and absorbs their inertia
Anthony Young
Since when did he have inertia absorbing powers?
Wyatt Rogers
2 examples of him showing his potential when he doesn't want to, rather than actually doing something to help
Matthew Martinez

Ryder Reed
I think Young Justice handled Speedsters the best.
>Young, so he's kind of inexperienced >Makes foolish tactical decisions to compensate for his OP powers >Can only go around Mach 1 or Mach 2, but will get faster as he grows older >Gets tired very quickly, and this is an actual aspect of his character, not just some convenient plot point >Can't carry more than one person, because he has super speed, not super strength >G-Forces will actually fuck his passenger up if he's carrying them and he goes too fast
Like, it's not SUPER realistic or anything, but it's the best, most "fair" portrayal of a speedster I've ever seen in either a comic book or a movie.
James Gonzalez
that's exactly his point you fucking idiot. xavier CAN do all of that shit but he never does for whatever reason. that's why he's gimped in every single movie except first class. in x2 he's kidnapped and neutered by some fucking cripple, in x3 he's dead, in dofp he doesn't have his powers because of some magic drug, in apocalypse he's neutered by apocalypse, and in logan he's sick and senile. it's like watching a fucking iron man movie where there's always some bullshit reason he isn't at 100% power and actually kicking ass
Luke Barnes
I got the vibe that they didn't trust him, he seems kind of like a sociopath who doesn't care about anything and only does things if they're fun, he could probably be easily talked into betraying them
Gavin Evans
Force= Mass x Acceleration, you stupid cuck. That's why The Flash's sooper sekrit move is called "the infinite mass" punch; because he's moving so fast he's practically hitting you with enough kinetic energy to demolish kill a demigod.
Ian King
>capeshit watchers arguing about magic powers and power levels embarrassing
Nolan Gray
This. X is stupid powerful. Way more than speedsters.
Adrian Cook
/ourguy/?
Joshua Ward
I hate this scene so Goddamn much. How the FUCK aren't any of them dead due to whiplash? Why the FUCK did they make him SO fucking powerful that not only does he see an explosion in slow-motion, but he ALSO has time to fuck around before he saves them? Do the writers have no sense of scale whatsoever? Do they have no outer perspective? It's seriously fucking ridiculous.
And also, how the fuck doesn't his clothes or walkman get fucked up? It's insane. I hate this portrayal of him so Goddamn much.
Ayden Jones
>going into a thread to cry about other people's interests embarrassing
Anthony Lee
>all he can do is run fast Understatement of the century. He runs so fast that everyone around him stops, retard. >too weak to kill any mutant that has resistance to physical attacks Yeah, lets see how they take a fist coming at them at a significant fraction of the speed of light. He's overpowered as fuck. They don't use him to his full potential because the movies would literally be over in less than a second.
Jose Gomez
Yeah it made no sense scientifically. But the movie was crap and that was the only good scene.
Angel Hall
>lurking, critisising capeshit watchers taking about super powers on a Singaporean keno board
Jordan Bell
It's almost like the X-Men are an impossible thing in real life. Imagine that.
Nathan Davis
Aside from the point, but they should have killed him during the climax. Then Magneto would have been told after that he was his son and actually have a reason and fuel for his rage. One of the worst capeshit films desu
Lincoln Bell
The whole scene ruined my sense of immersion too much. It was literally a case of "lmao just don't use your brain xD lmao just think xD lmao".
It's called verisimilitude, fagnut. You can have a universe where everything is EXACTLY the same in this universe, but the only difference being werewolves exist. See? I don't have a problem with that. Cars still run on gasoline, people still die of gunshot wounds, milk is still 3 to 4 bucks a gallon, but also, werewolves happen to exist, which is the only real difference between our universe and the movie universe. But don't suddenly fucking give the werewolf the ability to shoot acid out of its mouth or give it magic powers or some shit. THAT'S verisimilitude; where you establish the truths of a given universe, and you DON'T FUCKING STRAY FROM IT. If water falls UP in your fictional universe, water should always fall UP, not DOWN.
Asher Sanders
n-nani?!
Charles Myers
realism fags should be gassed.
Also, this movie sucks dick. Damn, they dropped the ball hard after the great DoFP
Julian Wilson
Yeah. Verisamillitude faggot
Ryan Brown
An author can't write a character smarter than himself.
Carter Nguyen
Or, balance it with an equally overpowered enemy and/or proper writing.
David Bailey
this
Wyatt Richardson
>mutants taken down by corn syrup
Bravo Mangold
Kevin Hall
>its speed force >i aint gotta explain sheeeet
Ayden Perez
The fact he can go from stationary to sanic speeds at will means he must be capable of some impressive acceleration and therefore force.
Robert Hernandez
Avengers Quicksilver got tired in Ultron
Bentley Hill
superhero NEET
Ryder Nguyen
I think the gist of it is that he switches his powers on and off. So when his power is on, he's in full slow mo mode, when his power is off he can be caught by surprise because he hasn't had the time to think of turning his power on.
Robert Morgan
I like this one interpretation of Quicksilver where he's always an asshole because he literally can't turn off his powers no matter what. He's perpetually stuck in what looks to him like some sort of warp field where everything around him is always moving in slow-mo. He's eating dinner with a bunch of other mutants, and his inner monologue is him explaining how he has to concentrate on every bite, savor every flavor, take the time to carefully chew and taste the food, and when he looks back up, everyone is staring at him in surprise because to them, he just finished his plate in literally under a second.
Grayson Myers
really makes muh thank
Daniel Allen
The reason for that is because he's not really a character.
He has no personality, no arc, no defining characteristics other than his powers, no nothing. He worked as a brief cameo in Days of Future Past, but in Apocalypse it felt like they really just forced him into the movie.
Landon Rodriguez
y eidnt he save havoc :(
Joseph Walker
This is what triggered me. HES RIGHT THERE.
Juan Kelly
He also has the power to slow down music players to, like, one millionth of normal speed, otherwise he'd be listening to nonsense.
havok is already being rotisseried in the fireball before he gets there
Brayden Morris
unironically yes. it's true sequel is Logan at the casino during Charles' spaz out.
Apocalypse scene is a flick-grade meme
Zachary Martin
MCU's quicksilver was so shitty compared to X-men's quicksilver.
Gotta love how Fox is denying the x-men money to Disney.
Nathaniel Robinson
>literally the most overpowered mutant Fuck off.
Kevin Ortiz
u kno it bb ;)
David Fisher
>Disney so mad that they are literally killing all the good X-men in comic and they're probably gonna be dlc at most in the capcom game Keep at mind that people actually defend this.
Nolan Campbell
Clearly since always since the characters don't die when he moves them. Retard.
Nolan Brooks
If he can accelerate a piece of metal to the speed he's running at and release it into somebody's head, he'd kill that guy, same goes for shooting in the air.
Eli Wright
I literally just realized how to fix every speedster plot hole. Every time they use their power it slowly speeds their cells up also, so overuse will eventually destroy their body. Boom now you got an excuse for only bringing out the big guns every once in a while.
Nicholas Scott
...
Jace Murphy
There's multiple ways to counter speedsters in worlds with them. Psychics should be able to be beat them. Also, yea, make it drain their energy fast. In x-men QS should have been spent after after saving the day.
You could some up with some weird sonic/light thing that messes up their vision/hearing. Imagine something that's blinking or ringing so fast no one hears its. Speedsters though? It's a horrendous strobe and agony in their ears.
Andrew Myers
>ALL THESE ARGUMENTS ABOUT CAPESHIT YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND INCEPTION
Jacob Stewart
they went too crazy with the speed here.
Explosion shockwaves usually travel at 2300m/s.
He travels about 360m(coming and going about 60m 3 times in that scene) before the shockwave travels 10m, which would take 0.04s. That puts him at 9000m/s, over mach 25, meaning that pretty much every single movement he took would create a shockwave that would turn any human he touched into mush, and the wind against people's skin would burn up from the friction and speed and scorch them as if they were reentering the atmosphere. I'm in the spectrum, by the way.
Elijah Mitchell
Shut up nerd
Jayden Martinez
I blame Marvel and the (((Mouse)))
Ryder Clark
This
>Round from a .38 or 9mm travels at around 1000mph >Just to be lenient, let's make it 700mph, because plastic guns and lighter gunpowder load and shieeet >He's still travelling so fast the bullets are practically suspended in midair from his point of view >He pokes a man's cheek with his finger and all it does is knock him out
Nigga, at those speeds, the air would be combusting into plasma at that point. The guard he poked with his finger would be eviscerated into red mist. Fucking writers are hacks. I hate them so Goddamn much.
Cameron Bailey
Did you guys like Interstellar? Just curious.
Ethan Davis
Kinda schlocky. I know the whole point of the movie was supposed to be "survival" and that's it, but the "survival" aspect of the movie didn't even hit me that hard. It seemed kind of obscured by slow pacing and stuff. I want a barebones "survival-is-all-the-same-no-matter-where-you-are" kind of story, but instead I got Sandra Bullock floating and waiting in space for a very long time. Kind of forgettable, but the scene where they get hit by debris was kinda cool. Also, the scene where she's finally back on Earth and she stands up like "Wow, I did it. I survivaled" was alright.
imagine quicksilver lobbing a tungesten rod at your head at the speed he is going
Eli Taylor
>punches someone >own arm implodes
Carson Wood
he was already punching shit, and he doesn't actually need to punch you to do damage
Zachary Wright
I fucking hated her so goddamn much. Every movie shes in i hate her fucking face triggers me now she caused so much fucking harm in that movie for a supposedly highly trained astronaut
Tyler Cox
All he has to do is punch past you and the air would superheat and fuck you up
Nathaniel Fisher
Is it part of the joke that you mixed up Gravity and Interstellar?
Juan Turner
If he's so strong then why did Apocalypse shut him down in 2 seconds
Logan Reyes
I don't think that they've ever said his name was Quicksilver
Anthony Anderson
Why doesn't he run up, remove Jean grey pants Fuck her real fast in the pussy, nut in a lac or some shit. Come back put her pant back Stand 10 feet away of her like nothing happened
Literraly the best power
Jonathan Taylor
Mate it's a fucking movie from the base of a comic it's meant to be fun an intelligent to a captive audience not fucking nerds that pick holes in everything.'huh duh the speed would actually kill them, an in actually fact the speed of acceleration ...' who gives a fuck! Just go into your mummy's kitchen draw get a blunt bread knife an cut up don't be a puss!
Adrian Bell
He probably does, they just don't show it, because he is the good guy
