Larian Studios Forums General Chat X2: the movie (possible spoilers)

very true, but as long as they dont get too repetitive...

they could always change the focal point of the movies...

as for now it seems to be mainly wolverine, but as everyone seems to love Gambit so much, they could change the focus on him, or even on Cyclops for the next movie (though i think Cyclops is an overall poor character in the movies, thus far) seeing as how X2's closing shot were... well... again... no spoilers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

cyclops sucks, has always sucked, and will forever suck.

they should make at least 2 more.
but they shouldn't ruin it by "milking it out".

yes faile, wolverine and gambit rule his ass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i'd say what i really thought of him, but all you'd see is a bunch of censored words. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

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.

why has the fire guy (you know) switched sides btw?
i know he wasn't behaving to nicely but still..

What I was wanting to know is why he was with the X-Men in the first place, actually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> Pyro was one of the founding members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. An organization started by Magneto and then taken over by Mystique later on. I am guessing that this is their way of introducing him and showing how he ended up being on the evil side. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yeah, i was curious about pyro being good too. now they need avalanche.
i like the newer psylocke better than the old- the butterfly thing always bugged me. plus, she kicks ass as a ninja.
morlocks would be very cool, and another good way to get storm into the story more, with a callisto conflict.
i would also like to see mr. sinister, more of colossus, and illyana.

damn I need to catch up on X-men somehow, you all know so much about it.

I bet you guys don't know 'urbanus' or 'suske and wiske' or 'jommeke' or ... though..... don't worry, they all sucks... except for 'urbanus'

the comic I really like is 'Thorgal' anyone know it...
but sorry, this is about X2

I wonder if they will ever do a "Preacher" movie? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, I think putting Pyro in Xaviers school to start with was a nice touch. I mean the school is just there to teach kids how to control thier powers, it doesnt necessarily train you to be "good". Pyro was obviously dissatisfied with being unable to use his powers how he wanted and much prefered Magneto's "You are a god amongst insects" line.

The brief momnet that colossus had in the movie was sooooo cool. He definately needs a bigger part in the next one....

are you sure that was only a reflection....???

I also thinks he needs a bigger part

It definetly had the feel of flying over water, and not viewing something under it, yes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Faile, I was thinking of the Psylocke before she had that Crimson stuff happen to her, but after she was a ninja. As Bestsy Braddock she was just another telepath. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

And did anyone remember that Pyro is actually supposed to be British ..? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

luna- i like the red thing the crimson dawn did to psylocke's face, but she also got really weird.

i had the feel she was flying underwater <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
but it would indeed make more sense for a bird of fire to fly over it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

ha, saw the movie yesterday, it's idd an awsome movie..

X-man 3 is deffinitly coming, and I guess the X-man 3 will be about Pyro and his brotherhood.

I've never read the comics, only sah the cartoons on tv.

my favorite chararter was Beast.

My sister was sad that Beast wasnt included either, especially considering he built Cerebro that plays such a central part to the movie. Oh well. I still thought it was brilliant. Hehe, I told my sister it was a slow start. When she saw Nightcrawler going nuts she looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I just grinned back.

talking about beast, anyone has any clue why he wasn't included???
he always has been one of the important character.
and if you can create ppl like nightcrwaler, beast can be done too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

beast was there. on the tv, in the bar.
