Hi Ice

Yeah, I heard the Beast and Nightcrawler rumor... somehow I can't see how they're going to be able to do Beast and not make him look kinda out of place... you know?

Nightcrawler wouldn't be as hard to do. Anyway, I hope they find a way to add them both. And Psylocke.

Ice · 25th June 2001, 05:18 AM

Yeah, beast would be hard to create.
The costume would become kind'a hot after saving New York from evil dooers.

True, true.

They could always make him CGI. But that might be even odder... although, if you think about it, since they were able to pull off Sabretooth who is kinda similar, they should be able to pull off Beast, no?

Ice · 26th June 2001, 07:07 AM

They should be able to pull off Beast, no?"
No...I mean Yes...grr
I AGREE WITH YOU, they could decently pull it of; some how savor tooth completely slipped my mind. :crazy:

I think the characters were very well cast... and while people have been complaining about what a goodie goodie Cyclops is in it, that's exactly how I've always seen him.

I had to think about that for a moment. Cyclops--Scott Summers--goodie goodie...

Why is he perceived that way?
1) He's the leader. He's the one that takes all our favorite bad boys and bad girls and gets them pointed in the same direction when in the field. That can't be easy. However, even Wolverine listens to him in the field. So he has got to have some major charisma and smarts.

2)He's in a steady, monogomous relationship. (Oh, yeah--but is Jean Grey?? She keeps being attracted to Wolverine--that doesn't help Scott's rep...He's not oblivious, though. Plus there was that whole thing with Madelyn Pryor (Jean's clone)--it's complicated.)

3) He doesn't go around shooting/hacking/slashing or just plain killing people. Why? Well, he's got a strong morale code, and a pretty deep common sense streak. In most cases, you can get more information from a live hostage than a dead foe. And in a lot of cases, the people they fight aren't evil--usually they believe that they're on the side of law and order, or are unenlightened, or are such minor bad guys that killing them would be a serious reputation killer. For those times when killing is necessary, he has several people on his team who are chomping at the bit for the chance--but he still takes the guilt (very angsty, our boy is :smile: ) He doesn't always delegate though. He does a lot of the dirty work himself. It's part of his moral code. And really, it's harder to protect than it is to revenge.

4) Even though he's a man of few words, and you can't see his eyes (the windows of the soul)--you trust him. You believe he is a good guy and that he will always be there to back you up. His inability to control his power has made him reserved and unable to just let loose and relax. Which is a shame--those few times when he does have been REAL fun!

5) Have you seen the comic since he came back from being dead? Very liberating experience for him apparently!

As I've matured I've found that, while the characters I loved are still very close to my heart (Gambit, Wolverine, Rahne Sinclair), some of these other characters who seemed "goodie goodie" when I was younger have depth and detail that I now find fascinating. Cyclops--I'm liking him more and more these days....

My 3 cents worth :smile:

Hey RQ. I guess "goodie goodie" wasn't the best term for me to use - it's more a term others have used - but you're hitting close to what I was trying to say. I've always seen Scott as being the moral fiber of the group - so to speak. And of course there's good reason for this. He's level headed, loyal, extremely smart. But I've also always also seen him as a bit of a 1950's golden boy because of it. Anyway, I thought they hit them all spot on.

Best $0.03 I've ever seen spent!

HeyLynny · 14th August 2001, 12:09 AM

James Marsden is so yummy! :rolly2: It sucked that you couldn't see how beautiful his eyes are in this movie. But the rest of him sure looked great! I enjoyed the movie and hope they make another one!

Jessa · 1st September 2001, 11:30 AM

Annette · 25th November 2001, 06:13 PM

Patrick Stewart is a great actor. I liked him in this.

msr709 · 16th January 2002, 08:03 PM

I couldn't think of a better actor to portray Professor Xavier than Patrick Stewart, he was right on the money. And Wolverine was also a great choice, they all were as far as I'm concerned. Who do you think they should cast as Nightcrawler and Beast.... any ideas? I can't readily think of one for Nightcrawler but for Beast it would have to be someone with build like Lou Ferrigno or Arnold Schwartznegger [sp?]:rolly2:
