"...the man who built the NASA rockets"


In one scene before they head out to Planet X, Victor von Doom asks out heroes if they know the name of the man who built the Saturn V rockets, and they have no answer. What?! Oh come on, everybody knows who built those rockets. His name was Werner von Braun, he built the V2 rockets for the Nazis, but after being sent to the US via Operation Paperclip his rocket technology ended up being used for NASA. It was his rockets that sent us to the Moon, and he is, to this day, considered a hero at NASA. It was Werner von Braun who made space travel a reality. Come on, whoever wrote that line should never work at screenwriting again.

It was either Josh Trank, Simon Kinberg, or Jeremy Slater. Kinberg was good with Days of Future Past where there was a "team has to fulfill a task" plot, but not so good with Apocalypse. Jeremy Slater also has an iffy track record. And as for Trank... we'll see when his Al Capone movie comes out.

What we see and what we seem are but a dream. A dream within a dream.
