I saw the movie yesterday. Was totally blown away. The first one was good, but I was afraid the series might progress down the same path the Batman and Superman movie series did and get too weird. Now my fears have been removed and I want an X3. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Let me start by saying I am a huge,
huge, X-Men fan and have been reading and collecting their comics for 10 years or so. I have all of the comics in the Uncanny X-Men series from about issue 97 on. And Issue 100 was the transition to Phoenix. They changed that around in later issues, though, explaining her transformation somewhat differently. I have the tradepaper back of the Dark Phoenix Saga so I can reread it and not have to get the comics themselves out. That, and the Days of Future Past sage that followed, are some of my favorite storylines. The classic Chris Claremont/ John Byrne days at Marvel. And to those who said they "Saw something in the water at the end." that was a reflection of something
above the water. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I also wish Shadowcat and Jubliee had had speaking parts as well. Jubliee is known for her being Logan's friend, but Kitty Pride was as well. When they showed those tunnels it made me think of the Morlocks and wonder of those would be shown. So many mutants, so little time. I was glad Storm had more of a part in this one and showed more of her power. I adore Nightcrawler and he was perfect. The showing of Hank McCoy on TV was a cute addition, too. Someone mentioned Alpha Flight? My goodness, not many people remember them now. I think you meant Snowbird. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Gambit would be nice, but so would Angel, Psylocke( how cool would her psychic knife look if they used the older version of her? ), and many others. Too many mutants, not enough time again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
The kid with the tongue is Artie. He was never shown much but was mentioned a few times in the comics based around Jubliee and her days in Emma Frost's school(silly defective memory won't recall the name of that comic title since there are so many and they all have changed titles.). Although Artie was depicted as having luminious eyes and green skin, as I recall, from the comics.
