miriya Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 great news! I loved all 4 of the x-men movies. Yes, including wolverine. Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Will anyone see it without Hugh? Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I been waiting s forever for a X-Men movie featuring the original five X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, and Iceman) but with the movie continuity Angel and Iceman are much younger than the other three and came along later. They could go the route Wolverine and the X-Men did with having Iceman still be with the original team but be much younger. They might have to replace Angel with Calvin Rankin aka the Mimic. Younger versions of Emma Frost and Storm would be interesting as original team members but I hope Havok and Polaris make it into the movies. I love the Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum/John Byrne run (that run introduced me to the X-Men) but the Roy Thomas and Neal Adams was just as good with Neal probably being a better artist than both Byrne and Cockrum. It's funny, that one time X-Men wasn't the powerhouse comic that it is now and was in danger of cancellation. Until the Thomas and Adams team took over with stories featuring the death of Professor X and X-Men battling Magneto's Mutates in the Savage Land. Also elements from the silver age like Morph (loosely adapted from the X-Man Changeling) and the appearances of Ka-Zar and the Savage Land made it to Fox Kids' X-Men series. Well Marvel cancelled the book anyway but found out later that the book did increase in sales. That's when Marvel hired Len Wein and Dave Cockrum to create the new X-Men featuring Banshee, Sunfire (both hold outs from the silver age), Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Thunderbird. Quote
Penguin Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I've got some vague hopes for this one. Much as I like Hugh's Logan portrayal, I'd love to see the rest of the team get some decent screen time. X3 left me flat, especially seeing my favourite X-man (Cyclops) get an off-screen death. On the flip side, there've only been a few writers in the comics that did Scott justice. Hopefully the screenwriter will take a page from them. Quote
RD Blade Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 X3 left me flat, especially seeing my favourite X-man (Cyclops) get an off-screen death.I've always had the feeling that he was still alive. The movie went out of its way to imply he died, but never actually showed it and Jean never says what happens. Quote
nugundamII Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 great news! I loved all 4 of the x-men movies.

eugimon Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 But X-men was always about disenfranchised teens running around playing superhero. Quote

eugimon Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 ... because the x-men are supposed to be teens... Quote
Twoducks Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 ... because the x-men are supposed to be teens... ... "five teens with attitude!" *Power Rangers music starts*... Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) ... because the x-men are supposed to be teens... They used to be until "The All New, All Different" era. Edited September 25, 2009 by terry the lone wolf Quote
eugimon Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 They used to be until "The All New, All Different" era. Sure, but any origin story or reboot is going to have them as teens. I mean, their cover is a boarding school for gifted children. Honestly, it's like complaining that the Cars movie featured cars. Quote
Penguin Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hopefully we're talking more "teen" than "tween". The other X-Men movies have all featured teens too, mixed with the older teachers. Now that the teachers are the students, who taught them? Just Prof X? Could we see other classic characters who have yet to be featured appearing as older mentors? I wouldn't mind seeing a clash between Prof's class while at the same time there's Magneto trying to do the same thing with his fledgling Brotherhood. Both the "First Class" comics and the "X-Men Evolutions" series had some neat moments where the younger members of the opposing teams found themselves bonding when outside the influence of their iconic leaders. Don't know if any writers would bother to capitalize on any of that, but it could provide some great character moments. Quote
eugimon Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Well, it was always a mix of both older and younger teens. Bobby was always younger and later on characters like shadowcat and jubilee were younger teens as well. Even in current x-men books there's always a younger junior member like Armor in Astonishing X-men. Quote
taksraven Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Sure, but any origin story or reboot is going to have them as teens. I mean, their cover is a boarding school for gifted children. Honestly, it's like complaining that the Cars movie featured cars. Yeah, but what about dog films where the dog dies like Turner and Hooch?? Taksraven Quote
eugimon Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah, but what about dog films where the dog dies like Turner and Hooch?? Taksraven various x-men being killed and maimed is just par for course! Quote
Vepariga Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 X-men and X2 were good, X3,not so much, Wolverine...lets just say,the opening credits was THE best part of the movie., this new class, gives them a chance to redeem. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Will anyone see it without Hugh? no... no wolverine, not worth it. But if they include Gambit i might be enticed, he needs his own movie! Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'll see it if the reviews are good. The Xmen universe could go so many places like it did in the show. They could go on forever if they don't screw it up. Quote
