X-Men

[BustaMo]

I use to be a fan of this series back when I was playing the old X-Men games on the Sega Genesis. Since the movies have come out I've only seen X-Men: Origins. I need to round up most of the movies in the franchise and kinda watch them in order to get a feel of it and the characters and get back into the story.

What do you think they'll call the next Wolverine movie?

"That Wolverine"

[Perducci]

(SPOILER)So, it just occurred to me that in the "future" scenario, we have Blink, Bishop, Warpath, Storm, Colossus and Sunspot outside fighting Sentinels, and inside the little shelter thing we have Shadowcat, Magneto, Professor X, Iceman and Wolverine. Everyone's a mutant, but even so we have all the ethnic minority mutants dying to protect the white mutants. All of them.

If it helps, Magneto and Shadowcat are both Jewish characters. Still white, but also still a minority. I think Iceman was only stuck inside because he's Shadowcats boyfriend in the movies. Xavier and Wolverine can't really go anywhere since Wolverine is back in time and Xavier is wheelchair bound and telepathic abilities probably don't work on Sentinels.

Spiderman was almost a black guy.

I wanted this so much.

What do you think they'll call the next Wolverine movie?

Wolverin3. And the poster will simply be a picture of his claws. But in all honesty they should just go all out and give us an Old Man Logan movie.

[Calliope]

(SPOILER)Huh, in my head it's still Shadowcat x Colossus and Iceman x Rogue.

[Perducci]

(SPOILER)In my head, I stick with Shadowcat x Colossus, but the movies messed up all the romances.

[Colonel Angus]

(SPOILER)Except Jean & Logan/Scott.

[Perducci]

(SPOILER)Except Jean & Logan/Scott.

Yeah, but that one goes without saying. Mostly I am just mad that there was a distinct lack of Shadowcat x Colossus.

[Mercen-X]

I think Iceman was only stuck inside because he's Shadowcat's boyfriend in the movies.

Which movies were those?

(SPOILER)I think aspects of the story we're left to guess at are that Rogue died somewhere along the way and Bobby's "fling" with Kitty (in X-Men The Last Stand where they ice skate together) ends up being the only relational development they need as an excuse to ship them.

(SPOILER)It was hinted towards in X-Men: The Last Stand and pretty blatantly obvious in Days of Future Past considering they were holding hands when they met with Xavier. Also, Rogue's still alive in DoFP though all of her scenes (Aside from the little cameo at the end) were cut.

They were good enough for the trailer, but not the movie. Interesting how that works out.

(SPOILER)Oh I thought Rogue died in the future and that's how the sentinels were able to use mutant powers because they had her dna while they were able to shift and adapt because of Mystique.

[Colonel Angus]

(SPOILER)Oh I thought Rogue died in the future and that's how the sentinels were able to use mutant powers because they had her dna while they were able to shift and adapt because of Mystique.

(SPOILER)Actually, it was a supposed to be from Mystique. I think Mystique is able to "mime" another mutants powers when she is in the form of that mutant. (SPOILER)In the Days of Future Past episodes of the cartoon she was able to use Gambit's powers as him.

[Mercen-X]

They can't decide what Mystique can do with her powers.

Mystique's powers, even in the movies, are pretty unique and extraordinary. She can change the size and structure structure of virtually every part of her body, from bones to muscle, teeth to skin, even mimicking fingerprints, retina and voices perfectly. She also has conscious control over this ability. The sheer extent and variety of changes offered by her mutation go beyond what most other mutants can do: while others may have remarkable powers of mind or body, they're generally in a fixed state.

On top of that, Mystique's also virtually ageless, has superhuman strength, resilience and agility, and she's phenomenally intelligent. She's effectively a paragon of the potential offered by the mutant-x gene - if you were going to pick one mutant to study and weaponise, it'd be her.

(SPOILER)As we saw from the future Sentinels, the ability to change size, shape, texture and physical properties at will was an enormous, almost unbeatable advantage through sheer adaptability. Nothing to do with Mystique actually being able to mimic other mutants' powers or abilities.

[Ayen]

I agree with Big D.

I also want Mystique's abilities. I would celebrity prank call so many people.
