Comics wise, she's bonded with an ancient cosmic entity.


X3? Either the same thing or just a really angry inner-powet.

Do any of you think they'll ever do the phoenix saga?  I can sort of see studio execs shitting themselves over that one.

Well it's all fire related so this is obviously a phoenix thing. I mean... the whole her dying and returning like a phoenix rising from the ashes with teh phoenix shaped glow in the lake... yeah.  Phoenix.

Will they ever do the phoenix saga? Yes. They'll start with the second movie... the one that came out years ago.

No I mean full on Shi'ar alien craziness where cyclops' dad is a space pirate and there's that guy that looks like a douche with a mohawk and pointy ears.

Yeah they're making her the phoenix, I should've said do you think they'll follow the comics version of the phoenix saga.

No....Cause there is just too much stuff to try push into a backstory, plus they are trying for at least plauseable realism. Having super powered humans AND Aliens would shatter that. Has to be one or the other. It's why if Venom and the black costume show up in Spider-Man 3 they won't be from another planet like they were in the comic.

Post by: Chopper Face 69 on May 20, 2006, 11:33:08 AM
Well no. I don't think they'll follow things exactly with the comic for anything. Plus the fact that believing in mutants is one thing for the audience when trying to imagine this as a realistic world but when you start to throw in galactic empires and stuff it's a little craZy.

Do you think there'll even be another movie? I mean, anytime soon? From what I gathered, the guys upstairs were more interested in starting a Wolverine spin-off franchise.

Magneto one, too.

I actually forsee a Stargate SG-1 esque X-Men series coming after this. I wonder if Gary Burghoff is availible.

Post by: Rama on May 21, 2006, 10:21:44 PM
I think X3 is going to be the last one. At least in the X-men series. I also doubt we will get more then the 1 Wolverine movie and I have even more doubts that the Magneto movie will ever shoot a single frame.

There's way too much story for them to delve into it properly in a movie, pretty much with any comic.  Popcorn audiences want SFX, skin-tight costumes, and explosions.

Jean Grey.

She should try killing Scott with her legs like she did James Bond.

One thing I've always wondered, how do you say "Famke".  Is it "Fahmk" or "Famkey" or "Famkuh" or what?  Why didn't I ask this when we had Dutch people here?

That's the death that makes me not want to see this movie. There are plenty of characters that actually did die in the comic(That thing where he was absorbed intoApocalypse doesn't count.)  they could have killed off if they wanted to kill someone. They didn't have to off what I've always seen as the heart and soul of the X-men. I think the book suffered when Cyc left in the mid 80s.

Course if he was gone, it would prove a good way to bring Apocalypse in storywise. Since Cyc and Jean's offspring is what Apocalypse feared the most, with Cyc dead Apocalypse could finally show himself to the world with no fear of being defeated. But I don't think we will see an X4 so it's a moot point.

As if a comic book death (even in a comic book movie) was ever final.  Hell, Jean Gray's coming back after dying in the previous one.  Come on, people.

Anyway: no, they won't do the whole Phoenix angle.  It'll be an adaptation that fits within the structure of the movies.  Which is good, since the Phoenix Saga sucked IMO.

Stay in the theater after the credits. There's supposed to be a extra scene at the end of the movie.

Well cyclops is always constant in what he does, except recently but swimming in the same pool as pox lips for a while and getting mentally raped nightly by Emma will do that to you.

I like James Marsden's purdy mouth.  :)  And I'll go totally fangirl here and admit to liking Gambit for his first couple of years.

How about villians?  I'm a Hellfire groupie.  :P

You all got mad, and yet you have no proof that what I said does or does not happen.  I actually haven't seen the movie yet, believe it or not.  My contact at the theater has been away for quite some time...  

If anything, I've just made you want to see the movie even more so that you can see whether or not I'm telling the truth.

Well, think about how many times professor X has died, and Cyc didn't die onscreen.

I am not worried at all.  I just hope Ratner is banned from Marvel movies, though the 140 million opening makes me worry.

I feel the need to note that these fishes are the age of consent.  That's about eight months.
