x-men 3 discussion (spoilers)

[SCpoloRicker]

Actually, Storm led the X-Men for a quite a while. Mid-way through her leadership, she beat Cyke in the Danger Room to continue leading. Powerless, baby. UX #201. She also knifed Callisto in the heart to take leadership of the Morlocks. Don't know about the current day comics, but Storm wasn't a punk.

Dangit, you made me bust out the collection.

[Grey Goose]

LOL! Sorry man, 201 was just very memorable for me because Rick Leonardi guest penciled it, and I always loved his artwork. That's why I can't remember the issue Storm knifed Callisto... that was a John Romita Jr. issue, and I never cared for his work.







... although I *think* it was somewhere around 177...

[Jotsy]

ok crap, i just watched the movie but i didn't wait till the end of the credits. what heppens? i watched up until magneto moves the chess piece, and i'm not gonna pay to watch it again. just PM me if you don't wanna post spoilers....

IMO, i felt that archangel was in the story just as an afterthought. he barely did anything. like, he was probably the director's favorite character so he just HAD to put him in there somewhere. i'm quite dissappointed that Gambit wasn't there

Your Marvel-fu is far superior to mine.

I saw it - not being ultimately into the comics I cant talk to all the points.

Archangel had an important part, to show that the person making the "cure" was not doing it out of hate, but out of love - and that went both ways. It was a plot point that required him.

The destruction of the bridge was meant to show Magnetos hatred (as portrayed in the movies) of the humans. Poor Mystique showed that to some degree.

All I have to say is:

Wolverine is amazing. I liked him in the other movies, but he still wasn't my favorite... but in this one his is just awesome.

OK, I do have more to say. I wish Collosus and Archangel would have had bigger parts in the movie. they could have had much larger rolls in the plot. Beast was also done very well

All in all I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I'll probably have to go see it again.

[RoamingStorm]

I might just have to bust out the old card collection, and the X men cartoons locked away in my basement, I know I still have alot of X men cards in a box somewhere

Whatever happened to Leech at the end of the movie?

If they made another movie.. Gambit better be in it because Gambit >



There were some mutants that I had forgotten about like Thorn and Psylocke in the movie. I think it seemed kind of random when Psylocke just did her shockwave thing.. I had no idea who she was until then.. she was just like an evil lingering mutant.

Archangel was not in the movie at all, that was just Angel. Apocolypse would have been nice.. I thought he would be in there since they fought the Sentinal in the simulation thing. I wanted to see Nightcrawler again because his role in X2 was pretty cool.

Hey Marvel nerds! Nope, I am not one of you but I did see the show (my first movie in over a year!). Good show all around, I felt bad for Magneto..he is a pretty cool dude. But the absolute worse thing and it doesn't seem that anybody mentioned this; poor Mystique! Gone is her blue scaly hotness

Saw the movie this afternoon and I'm disappointed. First off the "X'ed" out two main pieces of the Xmen universe. They made Colosses(sp) look like a pitcher and that is it. Wolverine isn't a leader of a group, he does his own thing and tells everyone else off why doing so. They did a great job with Beast. There were some small similarities to the Dark Phoenix story but not enough to deserve the character. Juggernaught isn't a mutant but provided some funny one liners from time to time.

The danger room scene got me all excited, hoping they would have some sentinels in it, but forgot that Goose had said it was a big dud and it was.

Seems like to me they tried to include too many mutants and not enough story. Especially since this is the Dark Phoenix story, where in the heck is the White Queen and the other goon. Ahh anyways, X1-X2 are worth seeing, this one erased all credibility this series would have.

leech runs up to storm at the mansion, storm says "hey kiddo" or something of the like, he goes inside for his schoolin'

yeah, i was pissed when i first heard gambit was cut.


thank you for pointing that out. his name was angel. he doesn't become arch-angel until he is one of apocolypse's 4 horse men. i'm a fan of x-men, not a huge comic reader, and even i know that...


also, somebody mentioned a new video game. what is it called, haven't heard of anything about that. or is it one of the dumb, turn-a-movie-into-a-video-game titles?

its just called X-men: The Official Game

and gamespot gave it a 5.6 out of 10. i'll rent it... just for the story. but im in no rush to do that
should be cool to play as Nightcrawler though, and get his storyline.

That wasn't Psylocke, that was Arclight. She was one of the Marauders that Gambit led to kill all the Morlocks.

Man I thought the girl with the shockwave thing was really poorly done. I had no idea what she was, who she was, whatever, even though I don't know any of the comics, it would've helped to know she was a mutant. I thought her power was to be a super-lesbian for the longest time, cause she looked like it and showed no other powers.

Poorly done yes, I thought she was a he.

I liked the movie, I started collecting the comic at the dark phoneix saga, so I was a little bummed.

I think they should have used the extinction agenda, rumor has it that this should be the last movie, this would have been a better way to kill off so many.

If you really want to be pissed of about something, wolverine is 5'3" in the comics, hugh jackman is 6'2" and he dont say bub enough.
