** This scene is even scarier if this is kept in mind. It's highly unlikely that ''every single person'' in that town willingly agreed to be turned into Prime Sentinels. Bastion ''himself'' says the people who ''volunteered'' to become Prime Sentinels don't remember being turned into Prime Sentinels. So, what if it turns out many of these Prime Sentinels were turned into them against their wills?


Added DiffLines:

*** Trish Tilby being a Prime Sentinel could not be because she was secretly anti-mutant, but that being a reporter, she may have actually been posing as a mutant-hater to get research for a story.

** When Val frees Magneto, there is a close up shot of his left arm that showed a tattoo serial number, which grimly confirms once and for all that Magneto wasn't merely a survivor of any typical genocide. He was [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust a Holocaust survivor who saw the worst of humanity in Auschwitz]].

** Spider-Man's cameo consists of him staring up at the sky as New Yorks' power goes out with a [[OhCrap shocked expression]], and considering this is [[ScienceHero Peter]] we're taking about, either his SpiderSense is going crazy in the face of an unknown, or he recognises the EMP for what it is and just how many people are now in danger.

* It's still not definitely confirmed whether any of the transformed people are even biologically alive anymore or are all only undead robotized corpses, or even if any (unlike Trask) still have remnants of [[AndIMustScream their original minds trapped within]].



** One location shown shutting down appears to be a nuclear power plant... just one of the many such plants around the world. Unable to operate and control them properly, worldwide nuclear catastrophes loom.



* If... ''if''... the Prime Sentinels worldwide were all ''killed'' by Magneto's EMP, then he's racked up a bigger body count in an instant than the entire massacre of Genosha, along with the worldwide collateral-damage holocausts from technological infrastructure being disabled.

* Val's speech to Bastion about why she freed Magneto. Mutants agreeing with Magneto's view of humans is one thing. It's quite another for ''a human'' to [[MaddenedIntoMisanthropy come around to his mindset]] because of the sheer depravity and hatred she's find herself surrounded by.

** What makes the Prime Sentinels more frightening is that these are humans who have been effectively radicalized by Bastion, their fear and/or bigotry leading them to the laboratory where they're forced to undergo a transformation that they don't even remember. It's safe to say that most of the Prime Sentinels are volunteers. [[FridgeHorror Keep in mind that this number includes people like Trish Tilby: publicly sympathetic to mutants while privately visiting online chatrooms and meetings aimed at stoking humanity's fear.]]

* Magneto single-handedly ends the attack. But as Wolverine points out, while Magneto's actions have a positive effect in this case, it's a harbinger for something worse to come: [[WarIsHell War]].

*** Shortly before getting his ass-kicked, Beast was trying to determine how many Prime Sentinels were in the world. What he discovers is not fully revealed, but judging from [[OhCrap his reaction]], that number is '''''big'''''!

* It was quite unsettling to see how Nightcrawler's teleportation works through the perspective of Wolverine when he was dragged along with the Prime Sentinel whom he stabbed with his adamantium claws. From what Wolverine (and us, the audience) saw, it appears to be a creepy dark dimension before returning back to the real world in another location of the damaged X-Mansion.
