That Is So Wrong

THAT WAS SO WRONG. 😠 I want to an XMEN movie made someday not BLACK LEATHER MEN which is what this movie SHOULD have been called. 😠

I think alot of time and effort went into the costuming for the movie, in that they were black, bot only is this functional in that they don't stick out like sore thumbs when they are snaeking around, but it also ties in with one of the original simile's of hte X-men, the plight of the African american for civil liberties.

All that said storms costume could have been a bit more stylish and aerodynamic, but i don't think they have enough of a grasp of her character at all, hence "Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning........................................ The same thing that happens to everything else" -worst line ever *cringe* *cringe*

better would have been "how unfortunate for you toad you were intelligent enough to grasp onto a metal pole in the midst of a lightning storm" or something to that effect and I wasn't even trying there.

P.S. they aren't spandex in the comics they are actually a metal and polymer meche except for Rahne Sinclair's costume which had to be made of compatible fibers so she could morph to wolf form and back again without becoming naked.

So is that the materials making up their costumes? I knew it was some sort of fabric armor, but not it's cotents.

I think the whole Scott listening to...that...boyband group (forgot which one it was) was just plain wrong

Haha I didn't when it comes to Cyclops I agree with Slab of the nasty boys :

"You not so much, I don't get what Mr S ever saw in you anyhow"- X-men TAS

Yeh the costumes in the comics arent spandex, they just look like it.
But explaining the complexion of the suits in the movie?! 😖 Again to out there!

She so would not?

She has style, and anyone with the intelligence of a gnat would assess that that was a redundant statement.

Boo to the writers and boo to Halle Berry for not suggesting a better line, the delivery was awkward too

i think that the way she spoke was bad, but it's not such a bad line to me...she was kinda joking, but if she spoke it right could look more 'believable'. For me, the she way spoke it made it look crap. She was too serious (ok Storm is serious, but even joking?), wanted it to be a powerful line, when it was only a 'joke'.

Nah quit clinging to the crap line people. Storm only ever got one line that was a joke from what I can recall it was in XMEN TAS and it was meant to be bad.

Storm: Gambit the term Rec room does not mean you have to wreck it!

Gambit: Storm makes jokes now??? What next???

lol i wasn't clinging to the bad line people, i hate bad lines, just thought it could look way batter onscreen, but i didn't know that Storm don't make jokes. Wow she must be waaaay more serious than i thought.
And great memory, you still remeber lines from the AS...

Yes, she has all those Goddess this Goddess that. Which I love in the comics and cartoon. But in the movie 😖
And she would say something like that cos she was pissed and was showing off her power. It has to be the coolest scene in the movie. Finally Storm showing she is in fact on of the most powerful mutats.

yeh, it "would" be one of the best scenes, what unfortunately became famous not because of special effects or the effect of the scene, but coz has one of the worst lines evah...
i thought it was so great when she would go and say
"Fog, obey the goddess of wind and cover this place with your power!" in the cartoons, but in movie would really suck.

At the very beginning of X2, who was the guy in space?
Was it eternity or maybe Xavier's astral form?

I think that the one scene that they should have left in was when xavier (aparrently) escapes, as it shows how he could have so easily been tricked into helping the little girl search for the mutants. It would have made a lot more sense to have left that scene in

Did anybody notice in the X2 DVD bonus disc, there were some galleries which showed the possible film version designs for Angel(archangel) and the sentinals.

In x2, when magneto is in his cell, wouldn't he be able to control magnetic fields outside of the cell to free himself?

I think someone brought that up earlier 😑

I think so. I mean, he does control ALL kinds of magnetic fields, doesn't he?? Or am I confusing him with Polaris?? I dunno. There powers change so often

their powers are similar. only magneto's are more diverse. while he can also control energy forms, polaris is mostly limited to magnetic fields.

I think she did that when she fried sabretooth at central station, fighting "the tongue toad" -not her shining moment.

Flavinho: yep I still remember a few of the more cherished parts of my childhood. I think I have night of the sentinels floating around somewhere on VHS. Anyway that particular quote was from "The Cure"

which Debuted Angel, Avalanche and Pyro.

Kohl: Polaris has grown up a bit, Magneto was helping her to tap into her full potential on Genosha. So it's likely that their powers are now exactly the same it's just that Magneto just has experience on her.

I read/heard that it was supposed to have something to do with the phoenix

I agree ✅

It really is sad that so many of you accept such moronic changes to comicbook films that totally betray the spirit of the comicbook like the moronic costume changes.Crap like xmen will continue to keep being made in comicbook films because sadly, so many people like you all could care less if hollywood destroys and and ruins the spirit of the comics by paying money to see this kind of crap.it just sickens me that you all could defend Singers stupid ideas. Whatever happened to the good old days when hollywood made quality comicbook films when the changes made were reasonable like in Superman?Enjoy your crappy Black Leather men movies.I for sure am leaving this thread because again it just sickens me that so many of you could care less about the idiotic costume change and pay money to see this kind of crap.

You want to watch a bunch of adults in racing car outfits and could care less about hollywood betraying the spirit of the comics? your choice.a stupid choice but thats your choice.I wont settle for crap like that.I want to see XMEN on the screen NOT black leather men. since the title of this thread is THAT IS SO WRONG. that is so wrong to accept such a stupid change.Like the old saying goes-do it right or dont do it at all.This is hollywood we are talking about,you want to accept their lies that they tried to make it work? your choice.But directors DO lie all the time.They could have made the costumes look fine on film if they really did try,they just didnt try and like most comicbook films these days,just wanted to do their own little thing and make their own little version and did not care if it pissed off fans.
