X-Men 3: News and info thread

[Glass Joe]

Mainstream doesn't care. Mainstream is where people make money.

Mainstream is what ruins just about everything. I'm happy that you embrace it.

Like I said, comics have an unlimited amount of time for this bullshit. X-Men had barely 2 hours. Let's see you condense all that history into that amount of time and not have it be the ultimate geek clusterfuck shithole of a movie.

I understand that movies have limited time to convey what they are trying to and for that reason they can't cover everything. I would like them to accurately portray what it is they do cover however.

I agree with just about everything that Will said in his last post. It would be great to see them cover that in a Wolverine movie but the chances of seeing that done and done right are slim to none.

The movie phoenix shit is retarded. If they can't at least get origins of stories done right they shouldn't even bother starting.

Could it be a new interpretation?

Woah.

I'm glad they left most of the convoluted continuity shit at the door. We don't need 40+ years packed in to 2 hours. Take what you need to tell a story, add in detail where it's needed, and leave it at that. Do you want Iron Fist to pop up and explain Sabertooth's first appearance, too?

By giving it sequels. Without mainstream you wouldn't have a booming industry, large enough to make a movie like X-Men with a decent sized budget to back it up.

Isn't the origin story of Phoenix about Star aliens? If so then I'll pass. Nobody wants to see some cheesy ass backstory like that in their movie.

You should stop fronting and listen to me and Dolemite. Our X-Men fan fiction alone makes us more seasoned in this area than you.

Mainstream is what got this movie made at all. Only a major studio could give a big enough budget for an effects-laden movie about mutants with superpowers and not have it look like a low-rent piece of shit. You should just be happy for that and the fact that the director understood what the comic was all about and was loyal to that concept, story, and characters.

I mean, by your logic, Rogue is Mystique's adopted daughter. Why didn't they recognize each other? And why didn't Nightcrawler know Mystique either? Or what YellerDog said about Iron Fist and Sabertooth (funny post, BTW). Do you see the can of worms that this garbage can open?

Like I said earlier, concentrate on all the stuff they got right as opposed to all the stuff they didn't. I'm just happy that Professor X is a kind, bald guy in a wheelchair who runs a school for the gifted in Westchester, NY, that Wolverine is an angry, crazy guy with Adamantium claws and funny hair, Magneto is a Halocaust survivor, Cycolps and Jean are fucking, etc. They have all the basic origins, character relationships, and rivalries right, even if they choose to omit some history here and there.

I think you're being super-anal about most of this, but I agree wholeheartedly with you here. It just felt so tacked on.

BTW, anyone remember when the X-Men fought the Brood? That would be a cool storyline for a movie.

This is true. Oh, BTW, I finally got around to writing an ending for our fan fic (view earlier pages of this thread to refresh yourself if you don't remember where we left off in our epic tale):

Cyclops gripped the controls of the X-Jet tightly in his hands, sweat beading up on his brow. He was nervous, wondering if he was up to the challenge that lay ahead. He was healed physically, but the mental scars of his ordeal ran deep. If he was so unsure about himself, how could he face his own brother in combat? Professor X sensed his feelings and doubts, rolled over to Scott, placed a hand gently on his shoulder and quietly said, "Summers, you total pussy, did you forget that I'd know your every cowardly thought?!? Be a fucking man starting right fucking now or I'll take mental control of Beast and have him fist you right here in front of everyone." Scott, upset at this intrusion on his own personal thoughts, nontheless tried to steel himself and think positive. He remembered a time when he and Jean were happy, before the cock juggling whore had stabbed him in the back by riding Juggernaut's unstoppable penis. But this just lead to more bad feeling and before Scott knew it, Beast's huge furry blue hand was making its way up his rectum. Cyclops freaked out and crashed the X-Jet into the side of Bruce Willis' volcano hideout. The impact caused Cyclops' HIV-infected hooker eyeballs to burst, showering the surrounding 5 mile radius with AIDS. Everyone, including Apocalypse, Havok, and Burce Willis, contracted the illness and died within 6 years, but not before reforming their evil ways and doing large amounts of charity work benefitting AIDS research, including a telethon. However, most of the money was embezzled by Gambit and forwarded to an account in the Cyamen Islands where he lived happily ever after having threesomes with seriously underage native girls all day. The end.

That's the first fanfic that I read all the way that made me laugh.

They bring a tear to my eye. Such beauty...

I always knew Gambit was the coolest member of the X-Men.

Get Fox on the line. We have X-Men 3.
