X-Men: Apocalypse - 25 WTF Moments

Despite the fact that the film is easily more entertaining than it is being given credit for currently, X-Men: Apocalypse has some incredibly strange problems.

Bryan Singer has made a hot mess, double-stuffed with fan service (which shouldn't be considered derogatory by any means) with a litany of problems that somehow don't spoil the overall experience.

The same goes for Apocalypse's planned ceremony to swap bodies. Obviously his show of grandeur is meant to reflect his power and his projection as the one true God that isn't quite expressed overtly.
