    Do you like the Quicksilver sequence in X-men: Days of Future Past more or the one in X-men: Apocalypse?

    As for the music, I think it's safe to say most of us love "Sweet Dreams" more but please do say which song do you like more as well.

    Days of Future Past. It was more creative, more detailed, had more fitting music, and didn't feel like it was trying too hard like Apocalypse.

    I enjoyed the Apocalypse one better. The scene in DOFP was tonally better, though.

    Both were great, but I feel Apocalypse was a real missed opportunity to develop Quicksilver: The DoFP scene sold what he could do, Apocalypse had the opportunity to take that and actually do something with it. Imagine if, rather than just racing around the explosion yanking people out of the way, playing around, the song choice was more somber (though not being familiar with that age/brand of music, I don't know what it could be), he actually WASN'T fast enough to save everyone, and was frantically racing to grab everyone he could, actively struggling against the explosion, his clothes even getting burnt or charred from the heat as he literally stays one step ahead. Rather than him just going, "Wow!" after the end, he's collapsed, out of breath, unable to even stand, and has to deal with the fact that as fast as he was, he wasn't fast enough.

    Plus, that'd make the followup scene with Stryker, where Quicksilver had more than enough time to stop them, but didn't, make more sense.

    Though given the movie was already stretched kinda thin, that probably would have been just a plotline that would've had to be left hanging, so maybe they made the right call.

    @jonsmith:

    A small thing I had a problem with was when QS froze up in front of Magneto. IMO, that was the best time to let him know that he's his kid.

    @invain: The one in DoFP was still amazing and one of my favorite parts in all of the X-Men movies, but the Apocalypse one topped it in my opinion.

    The one in Apocalypse was just too much. It was ridiculous, overly long and clashed awkwardly with the scene preceding it.

    Less is more.

    I didn't care for the Dofp one but the Apocalypse one was awesome. From beginning to end it was just per awesomeness.

    he wan't fast enough to save everyone.

    He was fast enough to save everyone except Havoc, who was dead before he got there, so as far as he was concerned, he was. As shown off by him casually playing around as he outraced the explosion: He had time to spare. He even explicitly says he got everyone.

    Days of Future Past.

    The scene in Apocalypse was way too over the top. In the time and space for a single explosion to occur, he got everyone (except havok) out. And honestly, wasn't as big a surprise after what we'd already seen in DOFP. It just felt like "casual fan service" whereby they just took what worked from the previous film and made it bigger.

    If Fox does do another X-Men movie with QS in it, i hope they don't continue this trend. They've already dug a hole for themselves by making him so "powerful". They will now have to find a way to nerf him.

    DoFP scene was amazing

    Apocalypse scene was good too but without the element of surprise.

    My vote goes to DoFP.

    DoFP because it was fresh. Apoc should've done something different. It was fun and well performed, but felt repetitive..
