Maybe that's the point? He is pretty old, images of the devil could have been based off of him or something.

why the fuck would someone who's been alive for thousands of years work for kevin bacon

Edited:

surely you'd be your own man

Maybe he's a bitch?

Seems weird though. He can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants and get away with it.

Well I don't think it really explained what Azazel was trying to accomplish in the film, but I imagine he knew that Shaw was going to end up blowing up the world and that's probably what Azazel wanted, so he helped him.

but azazel can teleport, why didnt he just teleport into their headquarters and bomb them himself

Well that would have been too easy. They are still limited to comic book villian rules.

Darwin is awesome and can survive anything!

   Darwin has the power of "reactive evolution". The exact nature and limits of his powers have not been revealed, but what this means is that his body automatically adapts to any situation or environment he is placed in, allowing him to survive possibly anything. Examples of his powers include: gaining night-vision after a few seconds in the dark; functional gills after being submerged in water; fire-proof skin after being exposed to flame; increasing his own intelligence; converting his body into pure energy; no longer requiring oxygen after being sucked into space; and acquiring comprehension of the Shi'ar language merely by looking at written samples. His power may concern itself with more efficient methods of survival than Darwin himself might choose; for example, instead of continually increasing Darwin's powers when taking punishment from the Hulk, his body simply teleported him away from the fight.

So how did he die at all? It looked like he was handling it okay to begin with, then he just let himself explode.

Maybe it was too much energy to handle, so he just kinda absorbed it and became energy himself.

[Rusty100]

or maybe hes not dead
maybe he'll do a dr manhattan and just kind of reassimilate somewhere

Edited:

if his power is to adapt to anything, surely he can adapt to either a) that energy blast or b) being dead

Edited:

but if he COULD adapt to anything reason dictates the couldn't have died in the first place

so I am going with 'he became energy'

if i remember right in the comics this is pretty much exactly what he did

[Rusty100]

im clearly on the same wavelength as ur writers hire me marvel

[sp00ks]

you don't actually see him die.

[The DooD]

True, but they do say in the aftermath that there was nothing left to bury. So I guess he turned to energy and got away some how.

[Haxxer]

he escaped to space

Edited:

as energy

isnt that badass as hell

The same reason that banshee didn't completely fuck up the hellfire club at the compound as opposed to Havok being useless:

Movie over, no sold no tickets.


Seriously, the only defense they had at that range was Azazel teleporting away.

I think this is the best X-men movie.

[Cpn Crunch21]

saw it, pretty good. Although i was expecting a "these are not the droids you are looking for" sort of situation when     they are reaching the checkpoint with the troops in the back. I was expecting Charles to make the troops just wave them by. But his manipulation of perception was a lot cooler and showed off more of what he can do    

[Rainhorror]

Does anyone else not want Micheal Fassbender to stop talking? I find his voice sexy.

Logan, you be the tyrant of Albion, just don't stop talking.

i don't understand how someone could mutate to look exactly like the devil
isn't that a bit of a coincidence

Um, what about the chick who mutated and got wings with the exact properties of fairy/insect wings? Isn't that quite a coincidence as well?

if azazel is literally satan, doesn't that also mean in the x-men universe, there is a god?
and considering mutants operate on the basis of evolution

um

There're demonic and angelic looking mutants but there's no biblical relations to them.

azazel looks way more like the devil

azazel is also a funny name

It's a cool name though.

[The DooD]

Isn't Banshee kind of over powered and they just don't show it? Every ones in the room, staring each other down for a fight and Banshee could just walk in, scream and every ones ear drums would pop, leaving them deaf, probably in a rather large amount of pain and with bleeding ears.

I notice Mystic hardly changed in this.

   And the scene where the sub got flipped, kevin bacon was upright!

Yeah, and when it was beached the reactor room was upright too. It was built to stay upright, by the looks of it.

When Bacon had his mustache at the beginning of the movie all I could see/think was
