Premature Viewed Mutation

A spoiler-free apocalypse

So don't ask me how, but this weekend I had the privilege of seeing an advanced screening of "X-Men: Apocalypse." Maybe Jennifer Lawrence is my cousin, in which case, stop looking at naked pictures of my cousin you guys, that's seriously not cool. But however I managed it, I come to you with this message: It is a good movie.

Maybe that was a little anti-climatic, let me try again. It was a god damn great movie. Am I bit of a Marvel fanboy? Sure. But I will gladly tell you how much "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "X-Men 3: Who Even Wanted This?" sucked so hard that Dyson is constantly hounding Fox Studios for their secrets so they can make an even more powerful vacuum cleaner. Oh and don't even get me started on what Fox did to the poor Fantastic Four franchise. No comic book deserve that.

Anyway, back to the thing that was good. I will admit to at first having reservations about this newest sequel primarily because of the titular villain Apocalypse. Here's why:


That beefy monstrosity is typically how marvel depicts their baddest baddy in their comics and cartoons. Now here is Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse:



Not quite the same effect right? But let me tell you, Oscar Isaac plays the hell out of the role and completely makes up for the missing muscle mass. The internet's new boyfriend indeed.

Other than Isaac's Apocalypse we of course have James McAvoy returning as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence (who may or may not be my cousin) as Mystique. Evan Peters returns as Quicksilver and the much needed comic relief, because as you can imagine, a movie with the word "apocalypse" in the title isn't super cheery.

And then there's Sophie Turner of "Game of Thrones" coming in to play a young Jean Grey and she killed it. I'm not just saying that because I'm way into gingers either. She had a flawless American accent, killed it with all that acting stuff I know nothing about, and even got to make a joke about how much the third X-Men movie sucked. How did she manage to do that? Go watch the movie this weekend and find out yourselves you dummies.

Last but not least, Olivia Munn is in the movie playing Psylocke. That's right, this Olivia Munn:





(She's only Psylocke in that last picture in case you're wondering)

So at this point I think I have covered everything that I can without going into spoiler territory or just repeating the things that are in the trailers. Just got see the movie you guys, it is will worth your time.

*Also, do me a big solid and follow me on The Odyssey! It's a new feature we are all very excited about where you'll be able to see my articles come up as soon as they're published and I won't have to yell at you through social media about it!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
