This movie should take place in 2025🔫

X-Men Days of Future Past (2014) was remarkably ahead of its time in conveying a political message.

In fact, it stands as the only Marvel movie that could potentially have a significant impact if remade in 2025 and featuring real-life characters from our current timeline, rather than those from the 1970s.

In 2025 Mystique would have been obliterated by snipers before she even levelled the gun.

Yeah assassination attempts are never successful or nearly successful in 2020s America.

Or real in 1 case!

Obvious-Water5692025-11-04 11:06

I feel like trying it on the White House lawn would only go one way.

aguadiablo2025-11-04 11:54

Yeah, no one has ever been assassinated in the US for 55 ~~years~~ days

Unclehomer694202025-11-04 12:47

To be fair it's a lot easier to pull off an assassination when it's an inside job organized by the Vice President of the United States (with whom you are cheating on your soon-to-be-assassinated husband)

That's a shame.

Same_Weakness75342025-11-04 14:02

for sure, the themes are super relevant even now, it just hits differently

GingerWez932025-11-04 10:20

It works fine taking place in the time it does. It doesn't take a genius to take the themes from the film and apply them to today.

It has a pretty standard political message.

Good movie. But you're giving it a lot of credit.

Any chance this is the basic America-centric hop skip and jump to politics for engagement?

Nonadventures2025-11-04 11:47

They might be doing that, but American politics aren’t that big a jump for Marvel Comics.

PickerPat2025-11-04 12:21

I'd be fine with it if there was literally any critical analysis in what they've written. It's just "what if Mystique pulled a gun on trump instead" 😏

Ill-Dimension-29962025-11-04 10:26

i don’t understand why xmen movies gave mystique more screen time than most of main xmen

ridopenyo2025-11-04 10:49

She wasn't supposed to be, I guess. Then she got really famous after winning a best actress award and the rest is history

Nonadventures2025-11-04 11:48

And she was contracted into the film predating all the fame, so they took advantage of that by making her the centerpiece.

Of course Redditors have to bring politics into literally every sub.

16tdean2025-11-04 11:29

I mean, it's X-Men, hardly known for being apolitical

Left4DayZGone2025-11-04 11:53

So talk about the political message of the film rather than make thinly veiled “pro-assassination of current president” posts.

What they meant was pretty clear to me… it’s not about politics in general, it’s about posts like this, taking a still from a movie that has zero to do with contemporary politics, and making it so.

Basically, using the *slightest* connection to make a political statement.

It would be like if Tony Stark stumbled while drunk and someone posts a gif of it and tried to make some comment about Kamala Harris.

Trust me. As a mod of a decently sized sub, I see it all the time. I know what they meant.

16tdean2025-11-04 12:28

That makes a ton of sense. You did give reddit mod vibes. Of course you have to brag about being a mod of a "decent sized" sub lmfao.

Mysterious_Check_9832025-11-04 12:25

The post is a pic of shooting the president and the title says this movie should take place right now using real life characters…

xazavan0022025-11-04 11:40

tbf, how often can you bring up a Marvel storyline that doesn't involve politics? (Unless of course if you define politics in your comment as: limited to recent political events)

aguadiablo2025-11-04 11:57

Because the superhero team that was created to represent oppressed minorities could be anything other than political?

thevokplusminus2025-11-04 12:48

Take your medication

AmaterasuWolf212025-11-04 13:52

Not everything needs to be 1:1, just apply it to today, that's it
