5 Really Weird Things About X-Men Apocalypse We Still Can’t Get Over

Can't stop thinking about it...

Quicksilver’s Speed

Recommended Videos

First making his debut in 2014’s Days of Future Past, Quicksilver quickly became a fan favorite after his slow-mo sequence set to “Time in a Bottle.” After that, you’d think the X-Men would keep him around, but that was pretty much all he had to do in that film. In X-Men Apocalypse, he’s in much more of the film, as he searches for his dad, Magneto.

Evan Peters plays him well (if you were annoyed by him in Future Past, he’s more tolerable here), but to compensate for him having a brief appearance last time around, Apocalypse’s solution is to make him ridiculously overpowered in terms of his speed. It’s believable that he’d be able to take down a handful of guards, but being able to save roughly two dozen students and a dog while the X-Mansion is exploding seems like a bit much. Ditto getting a good minute or so to wail on Apocalypse, to the point where you wonder how the hell Psylocke, Angel, and Storm made the cut to be Horsemen if this kid is able to literally run circles around them. En Sabah Nur definitely should’ve come to Peter first.
