X-Men First Class Cerebro locations!

[lilacsigil]

Work was very tiring, as I was doing my own job and someone else's today. So we came home, watched X-Men First Class (again) and I took some screencaps to work out the co-ordinates that Cerebro spits out. With a little help from Google Maps, here are the locations!

Between Angel and Darwin's recruitment scenes

17 00 S, 63… Ocean near Madagascar (east) or north of Montero, Bolivia (west)
42 30 N, 1 30 … Santa Coloma, Andorra, (east) or near Sangüesa, Spain, (west)
90 00 S, 0 00 E The South Pole
34 00 S, 64 22? W South of Rio Cuarto, Argentina
12 14 S, 123 05 E Ashmore Reef, Australia (mostly famous for being the place where people smugglers dump refugees)
47 20 N, 13 … North of Lend, Austria (east) or the ocean south of Ireland (west)

Between Darwin and Alex's recruitment scenes

43 0 N, 71 30 W 406-506 Upland St, Manchester, NH, USA
41 40 N, 73 45 W 5 Marion Way, Lagrangeville, NY, USA
40 47 N, 73 58 W 86th Street Transverse Rd Manhattan, NY, USA (Central Park just south of the reservoir)

Between Alex and Sean's recruitment scenes

39 57 N, 75 10 W Black Cat Cigar Company, Philadelphia, PA, USA
37 33 N, 77 29 W Virginia 146 (highway), Richmond, VA, USA

I can't think of any Bolivian X-Men, but Spain is obviously Empath, the South Pole is the Savage Land and the mutates, Argentina might be Magma (Nova Roma has moved a little bit south in movieverse, apparently), Australia is Gateway having an ocean holiday, Austria is Destiny, New Hampshire is Original Alex Summers, upstate New York is Warren Worthington, Central Park is a stray Morlock, the cigar shop is probably Logan or Creed stocking up, and the highway is where the Secret Mutant Base ends up once it gets concreted over by the CIA in sheer embarrassment at the end of the movie.

It is so very geeky--in the best possible way--that you did this.

Oh yay, I was waiting for someone to do this! This is so awesome (and makes the film's timeline make even LESS sense if one attempts to incorporate it without bending other stuff), so many possibilities! Also I like how it implies that nearly everybody said no to them. *g*

[kindkit]

Well, we don't know if they tracked down every mutant they got coordinates for. Actually, as far as I recall, we only see them travelling within the US, which makes sense considering they're recruiting for the CIA. So my speculation is that there's a huge list of non-US mutants, and also mutants who just haven't yet been found, which hopefully Charles took away with him after the attack on the facility.

Well, I mean, everything about this movie's canon timeline is insane, it's hard to draw any actual conclusions. So I'm going with the "everyone said no" theory because it amuses me.

Excellent point.

I kind of want to force the screenwriter to tell me how old Raven is, and then how Alex and Scott Summers are related. Just to watch his head explode.

Coordinates in X-Men first class.

Hi. I'm really knocked out that someone else had the idea to do this also. I was looking up the coordinates before I found your blog.

One thing that might affect your results- Lat/Long coordinates come in more than one format. One is decimal, and the other is Degrees/minutes/seconds. I think you may have used the other one since I got very different results. I don't know the Marvel universe well enough to see if they put enough detail into this to make it accurate. That would be pretty great though if it were, and not just some random locations.

That's a good point about the different methods! Have you posted your co-ordinates anywhere?
