@hymntothesea One theory is that he didn't die and it just looked like he did. Which is a theory I enjoy giving credence to since he was one of my favorite characters of the movie.
@hymntothesea I know nothing about comic book lore. Based on your passionate treatment alone, I want to say I agree 100% on the Darwin commentary. He should have lived!
@hymntothesea I've only watched the live action movies so I know nothing about the characters besides what I see in them, and I'm so glad that I'm not wrong when it comes to Darwin. I hated his death, it was just so wasteful.
I had a theory that when Darwin absorbed the energy, he became a bean of energy himself. And that he ended up in the outer edge of the atmosphere. This is why he was not seen in any other of the films.
My theory was back when this movie first came out.
And that the energy he became was what was seen in the last film, which created Phoenix.
Of course, I would be proven wrong.

This movie could be so much better, I am not saying it is a bad one but here is THE one point that made me feel extremely uncomfortable:
This part is going to sound like a pure rant mostly because someone has to explain to me how the hell Darwin's death is within logic? Let me get you see the serious flaw of logic here. Darwin's supernatural power is making him to adapt to anything. He can literally adapt to everything and anything. One time his powers realized that it would be so dangerous to fight with the Hulk so they ended up teleporting him to another country. Another time he became a cosmic ball of energy and then rematerialized as a human being to you know.. not die? And another time he was shot with a gun that was made to kill anything that has a nervous system, and you know what he did, turned into a freaking sponge. He literally touched a goddess of death once and his powers turned him into a death god himself to prevent his death. And after all of these, seeing him die because of a pathetic ball of kinetic energy from Shaw? Seriously guys, am I the only person who sees the flaw here? They killed the mutant whose power is about nothing but SURVIVAL. And Shaw says "Adapt to this"?? well, he should have been able to! I will never get over his death, in my mind he turned into an energy ball and ascended to another existence so he would not have to deal with this nonsense.. okay, rant over.
Thank you for reading my rant.
