Yeah I'm going with Bennnnon this one. I too much prefer MCU over Fox, hands down, no comparison. But Quicksilver Fox was hands down better than Quicksilver MCU. And let's face it, Q MCU was just there to die ( and he died very well). Far as action figures go I don't needeither one, but if the price is right I'm down.

I correctly guessed that MCU Quicksilver was a goner from the first trailer when I saw Wanda dropping to her knees and letting out that primal scream. But I did thoughtthey were going to off Hawkeye as well. If ol Joss Whedon is anything its predictable.when he has a character talk about retirement, or getting out they are a goner for sure.

im really hoping that before its all said and done Hasbro would have gotten us both of MCUs Quicksilver looks from AOU ( and Wandas skirt attire now that they have figured out how to use skirts with their articulation). If a Fox one comes along Id get him too, but less particular about which look for him.

I'm so confused. I'll be the first to admit that the MCU movies are significantly better than the Fox X-Men movies, even though I'm clearly anX-Men guy. I'll also concede that the MCU toy line needs an Age of Ultron Quicksilver far more urgently than a Wandavision one. But are you guys really arguing that the barely-even-a-character Quicksilver as originally depicted in the MCUis a better character than one of the best and most celebrated characters from the Fox X-verse?

Neither one of them is anything like the Quicksilver in the comics, but one of them is a fully dimensioned, well-acted, funny, compelling character that got a show-stealing scene in at least two movies (maybe three, but I only saw Dark Phoenix once and barely remember it) and the other was basically just a plot device to spur Wanda to action. Not only is Peters the "original" Quicksilver by a year or so, but I don't think there's any question he's the better version, unless we're using "better"only to mean "closer to source material", in which case I guess the MCU version has the "I really love my sister" character trait in its favour? He's a mutant in the Fox version, which is arguably more central to the character (for most of his existence, anyway), but neither one of them has the grumpy, elitistsnarkhe's known for in the comics.

Haha no friend, dont over think it, just having fun talking toys.

While I would rather get an true MCU Quicksilver it is to finally complete that films lineup. And while I do like Johnsons portrayal better than Peters I can concede that Fox at least gave their QS a bit more to do.

Im an MCU guy so if I were given a choice, Id take their version all day. And as far as who played him better? Just personal preference, i just like Johnson better. Probably goes back to how Evan Peters played Michael Scotts obnoxious nephew in the office. I would have swatted that punk too

I like the fox one personally, but we need a proper mcu quicksilver.

@memocromaticoagreed. Mcu version was more like is comic counterpart then the comic relief that fox one was. Arrogant, rude etc.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to belittle Quicksilver's depiction in Age of Ultron. It worked. He just wasn't a terribly developed character, in terms of either personality or power set. He was overshadowed in every way by Wanda.

Pretty much exactly like in the source material I agree with you, Peter's QS is more fun to watch, but he reminds me a bit of Flash, funny, happy, witty.

I actually watched Dark Phoenix again after posting that, and he was hardly in it. He saved a few astronauts, and then tried to run up some falling debris toward Jean, only to learn the hard way that she was able to process her thoughts (and thus telekinetic abilities)quickly enough to keep up with him.

I think its more about completing a lineup for the mcu, but i would agree that Fox Quicksilver was a much more memorable character, particularly in Days of Future Past.

But i will say mcu QS has grown on me, i like the bits where he unsuccessfully tries to grab Thor's thrown hammer &when he has to fire the gun in the police station to get their attention. also his needling of Hawkeye that culminates in heroically sacrificing himself is good. WIth Fox, the character showed a lot of promise in DoFP but felt like diminishing returns with each subsequent movie appearance imo. As with many of the fox characters there just didn't seem to be any consideration to giving him a character arc, just coming up with a scene or two to show off his powers.
