Most Wasted Character in the X-men movies

Yeah, she wasn't used to her full potential in the first 2, especially the 2nd one.

Yeah she formed tornados, but she was sitting in a seat while doing it.

It was great to see her being the eye of the tornado this time around and actuallty doing something and being involved this go around.

That's my favorite scene out of the whole movie and to know that she ws really doing the spinning. 90 Miles per hour spinning I might add. Really adds a since of Awww while watching that scene. She got sick afterwords but it was worth it.

is it comprehensible.....

Cyclops was wasted by far and that sucks because he's the leader of the X-Men.

Cyclops is just plain STUPID. I'm glad they didn't waste time on him. They should've put Pyro a little more in there, but I guess he's not really one of the X Men, so, he's out. But definitely Iceman. He should've gotten much more screentime. And, of course, Wolverine.

Cyclops. In the comics, he's the one all the babes go for. Not Wolverine. He's virtually Xavier's son, the first X man (Wolverine did not even join the comics until 1974 and did very little until the 90s when he fell in love with Jean, and even then he was more of a stalker that Cyclops nor Jean took seriously.

For those wondering how Brett Ratner chose his characters and how he managed their powers here's a piece of an interview with him:

"SHH!: How did you pick the mutants though, particularly the new characters with new powers?
Ratner: I just went through the comics and the materials and thought, "This is cool." They're what I thought was cool, and I just wanted to go in and put some color into it. It's a multi-racial comic, and Halle Berry was the only person of color in the last few movies, so I wanted to bring some flavor, as they say. They were inspired by the comics. For instance, Spike started as Kid Omega, but there was another character. I found one character that I liked and then I took the powers. For instance, Callisto has the power of another character who moves fast and has the telepathy thing. The girl from the wall looks like Psylocke but she has the power of one of the other characters. So I mixed and matched powers to service the story. Instead of having ten more actors in the movie, I just said, "You're going to have these three powers."

is it comprehensible.....

1.Cyclops.

I mean in the first he hardly does crap, in the second he doesn't play a big part till the end, and in the third he "dies" without any explanation whatsoever 🤨

2.Colossus

In 2 movies the guy had 2 lines total. Literally thats all. His name is only said once and he gets little to no screen time. 😠

3.Kitty Pride

Seriously she was in all 3 movies yet she wasn't even introduced until X3.🤨

That and she is simply used to create a love triangle between herself, Iceman and Rouge. 🙁

that is just stupid, Ratner is an idiot, he cant put a mutant in there and switch their powers, he should be shot and hung for that

Yeah why was Pyslocke camoflauged to that wall🤨

Oh and if you read the credits apparently Jubilee was in the movie somewhere. 😛

i actually though the 'comaflauge' was a really crap SFX of her shadow teleporting...

I guess, you totally missed what Cyclops is for.

He is more than just a character. Each character symbolizes something. An example.

While Storm symbolizes CONVICTION, Cyclops' essence is DECISION.

You call it waste? gambit2

And hey, Rogue is a waste? Rogue is a symbol of BEAUTY. And it is not about physical beauty - the reason why people cannot touch her - because it's within.

X2-Cyclops,partially Jean,Storm(she looked bored out of her mind),Rogue, Iceman, I kno Pyro did that big fire seen but he still could have done more.

yup.. that...

Colossus was wasted in both X2 and X3, and was hoping to see a fight between him in Juggernaut in X3, who was also wasted in x3. I mean come on He hits a wall, and he's done for the movie. This is why Singer should not have left, becuase control then shifted to FOx, who the moment they assigned it to Ratner, it was obvious to me the movie would be nowhere near as good as the last two. I mean the onnly new actors that werenttin the first two that were really good were Grammaer as Beast and Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut, who were not even cast by ratner.

**** cyclops, they barely used angel

While im not a Cyclops fan they shouldve treated his character wit more respect. He is the leade of the X-men, One if not the first of the X-men.

i've gotta say Colussus. there's so much more you could've done with him....

cyclops isnt a wasted character...he wasnt i it alot bc hes a *****...plain and simple...i think gambit shoudl and will be in the next one but the reason that he wasnt in the firs t3 is bc his character is too much like wolverines character..the outcast with an attitude...

Only 2 lines? Aw, does he at least have a good accent? I'd like to hear him talk with a Russian accent.

Yeah, that's true, people were probably all, who's that girl who goes through walls or something.

They call her Kitty. So that's Shadowcat.

Colossus, waste of an awesome character with an awesome potential for some great scenes.

Storm was a waste in that they should have someone other than halle berry play her. Ahe was wooden and terrible in all three movies.

Angel is quite a wasted character as he doesn't do much of anything in the movie. Save his pop? Ha! I say let him fall
