I want her flying and punching holes in walls...then ending the day one a nice date with Gambit 😄Bobby should burn in helll for kissing Rogue...hehe he'd melt
Well technically Rogue isnt either, since there is a science to everyone else's flight abilities - why not to the ones she absorbed from Warbird/MsMarvel?
I mean, Storm uses the winds to pick her up; Jean uses her telekinesis; Magneto uses his powers to move the metal in his boots/belt/etc.
The only example of true "flight" would be from anyone sharing similar appendages as Warren.
Also, i dont think the choice to not give Rogue all these powers is wasteful. They want to establish her real power, and they wanted her young and just discovering her powers. She would've needed time to absorb Warbird's abilities, and that would've included the appearance of a very unrequired Warbird. Plus it coulda confused people.
And, while i'm on the subject, let's face it - half of X1 wouldnt have happened if she had those abilities. She wouldve been able to snap that seatbelt off, she wouldnt have been caught by Magneto, she wouldnt have been stuck with Magneto, and she wouldnt have put up with being strapped to the machine near the end. She coulda flown away from home instead of having to hitch a ride. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it the very obvious choice of superman? No! It's a homeless runaway wearing a rather nice cloak that i want! 🙄
And i find Bobby and Rogue's relationship cute. Let's face it - if they kept every relationship the same in these movies it wouldn't be as interesting. You'd know what'd happen, and although that was the case with the Phoenix ending to X2 (to pretty much all of us who've read the comics), that was an exciting plot direction.
Afterwards there was a whole lot of "Oh my god! Yes, we're gonna see Jean as the Phoenix!". I can't imagine "Oh my god! Yes, we're gonna see Rogue and Gambit together in a relationship mirroring every single TV show and soap opera EVER! Woohoo!"
It could be interesting i hear you say?
Oh yeah...i'm plotzing.sleepy
