I'm starting to wonder if certain other people here actually have jobs to go to as well. When you're working at a desk with people all around you, you can't pop open a youtube video for whatever even if its on your phone.

However now that I am home and have watched it, I still say it'll be interesting to see it not go the reboot route. Sure it looks like certain characters will be brought back to life, but that was expected anyway. I just wish we could get confirmation on Cyclops.

Also they're not undoing anything from X3. Xavier and Jean are still in the same situations we left them in and the cure from X3 obviously didn't stick.

We also don't know if Cyclops is even in the movie.
Yes, but I'm referring to the outcome of the film. They're messing with time which could alter events. Sure, it's not a real reboot, but I see this in the sense of how the Incredible Hulk was a reboot. They could use this as a way to inject more freedom into their universe while not completely ignoring the past, for audience sake. This way, they can continue to tell new stories instead of starting over from scratch. I actually hope they go this route. Rebooting it now just seems like a waste of time. Plus, I would really love to see Mister Sinister and Apocalypse down the line.

That's besides the point. You could have explained your situation instead of just demanding something. We understand your situation perfectly. But if you're at work, and aren't allowed to be watching videos, then ask in a way that's gonna make someone want to summarize the video for YOU. They're not obligated to and you're not really giving them much reason to want to take away some of their time for YOUR convenience. Otherwise, get back to work and wait til you get home to watch the video.

This is actually a good point. I think this can happen.

Cyber, you've been here as long as I have. Were you a TMNT board only guy, or did you have an old name? I gotta know so I can either put two and two together, or simply laugh.

Are you a troll, or just functionally retarded?

Not everyone works "with people all around them." I have my own office, for example.

And your point? I have a job where that isn't allowed, what can I say about it? I wasn't at home either when that YouTube video was posted.

I've always had this username, you might be thinking of someone else.

I think the difference is a lot of people assume we're always at home when we're on the Internet. This was true in the early 2000's.

However with phones that are basically computers in our pockets we can go online at anytime. I make most of my posts on this forum while I'm outside or at my job on my phone.

Stuff I do on my home computer only happens late at night when I'm not playing a videogame or watching something.

Thanks for the primer on handheld devices? I have an electronic Geiger counter that makes traditional Geiger counter clicks.

Anyway, whatever, back to the topic at hand.

Kevin Nash Disapproves. He also suggests you refrain from giving any details.

Amazing how all this got out of hand over a simple YouTube video.

Its too bad Patrick Stewart is more recognized now for playing Charles Xavier than Captain Picard. These young kids don't even know who he was prior to X-men.

It wasn't the video, it was you. You seriously must have been raised by f*cking circus people. It's really quite astounding how dense you are.

It was just a video though of Patrick Stewart drumming up interest for the new movie.

It was also posted out of context as it wasn't part of the current active conversation. It's not like I asked for a video to dissect.

WTF does any of that matter? Do you seriously not get what the big ****in' commotion is about? And please, don't say it's the goddamn video.

Yes, because saying I don't have time to watch a YouTube video really sparked a two page circle jerk.

What a great thread. I only wish the next two X-men movies could come out before the guy who plays Magneto dies.
