This discussion involves some X-Men: Days of Future Past information, not giving away any pivotal spoilers. However, you have been warned that some MINOR spoilers can be read from this point on.

We have all been aware of how Marvel and Fox fought over Quicksilver's rights, and we all thought that Fox had an advantage (Marvel couldn't mention him and Wanda being mutants or that they were Magneto's children and Fox couldn't mention their past as Avengers). Obviously, in a universe where Magneto is such an important character, mutants are the whole point of it and the Avengers don't exist, you can see Fox has more to offer for the character.

However, after watching Days of Future Past today, I can say Fox did a real POOR character background on "Peter" Maximoff (still can't get used to calling him Peter, so forgive if I call him Pietro). I loved Evan Peters portrayal of the character, great script and visual effects work on him. The suit and looks could've been a lot better but it didn't bother me that much at the end. What kind of bother me was that they could've used both Quicksilver and Wanda (who appears REALLY briefly as Peter's younger sister) in the future and not this soon. None fits as Magneto's offspring at all, and that's exactly what Fox did. They acted as if they weren't his children. In fact, Peter mentions his mom used to know someone who manipulated metals. That was something Marvel could've given away, but Fox had EVERYTHING to give them both a bigger importance. I think using them THIS soon as some standalone mutants was a waste of two of the greatest characters in Marvel Comics. Up to know, Marvel Studios' Maximoff twins are more related to Earth-199999 than what Peter Maximoff and his little sister are to Earth-10005. This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy Evan Peters, I did in fact and he was the comic relief, and was funny indeed. I'd love to hear your opinions below!
