Before more issues, I'd like to give props to this film for giving us another Quicksilver scene that, in my opinion, tops the one we'd seen in Days of Future Past. One of the reasons this scene works better than the previous one, which I'll admit was an extremely hard one to top, is that the stakes are really high. The other is that Quicksilver's character is fully fleshed out in this one scene. His quirkiness and his teen tendencies are displayed through a series of funny actions he does while saving everyone in the scene, from stuffing a dogs mouth with a slice of pizza to placing a dart right on path with the bulls-eye of a dart board in slow motion to taking a quick sip of Coca-Cola. And to top it all off, a great song to go with this hilarious sequence of events.

Many new faces in this film are given zero character development and are just there to account for the 4 mutants needed to satisfy the "4 Horsemen" requirement, but some others are given a reasonably good amount of screen time and end up having important roles to play in the events of the film. Olivia Munn, who played my favourite character in HBO's "The Newsroom", is almost completely wasted in her role as Psylocke and only appears to do what Deadpool would almost certainly sarcastically applaud "SUPERHERO LANDING! HERE IT COMES!". Angel, the mutant with the eagle wings is almost completely useless to the plot. Ororo Munroe, better known as Storm, is introduced to us a pickpocket struggling to survive in Cairo, and it was more believable that she would join Apocalypse, given her current circumstances and the amount of power Apocalypse gives to her, her character is given slight less than sufficient time on-screen, but I'm more or less fine with that. Jean Grey, played by Sophie Turner, better known for playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, is also given a good amount of screen time, and we get to see some similar themes from the original X-Men trilogy, i.e. Jean fears that she is too powerful to be controlled. We also see Scott Summers, or Cyclops, and his character was probably one of the best developed ones in this film, his role was also a big one in this plot. A major character of the franchise has a cameo in this film, and it is quite the shock reveal.
