petroniaThis is what I think:
Having done an X-Men movie set in 1962 (when the comic started??) that is perceptibly influenced by early James Bond i.e. Dr. No**, Hollywood should keep on and set the next one in the 1970s while ripping off the look/feel of an influential pop fantasy film of the 1970s, and so on. In particular - and do correct me if I'm off here - that one arc in which Magneto gets turned into a baby and fobbed off on Moira first saw print in the late 80s. Look Who's Talking, of course, was one of the biggest hits of 1989.
I keep seeing this reblogged on Tumblr, so clearly there is a market for it is all I'm saying.
(Srs thinky thoughts blahblah to be found here, although that entry does not address the OTHER bit which has turned out lingeringly haunting for me, that being Surely there was no specific code for the auburn hair gene when Watson and Crick hadn't even gotten their Nobel for discovering the double helix??? Or, what the hell was Hank actually doing NO WONDER IT TURNED OUT BADLY)
** Actually, influence-wise it's a disconcerting mashup of Dr. No and Inglourious Basterds, but
