Seen X-MEN 2 today (X2)
- Thread starter BIG REESE LOC1

Actually, it's not a special power... It's more like I watch movies as a hobby. Some people play baseball, some go golfing, some climb mountains... I play video games, watch movies, and listen to music. X-Men looked like a piece of shit from day one, and in case you don't know it isn't even remotely like the comic. I don't read the comic but know some people who wrote for X-Men, then wrote for Wolverine and they'd love to tell you a million and one reasons that X-Men sucked. Now I heard the shit was decent, (including the magneto jail scene), but that's not what works for me. I like a good story more than how many pixels you can fit onto a screen.
Now Matrix, that's a great fuckin' movie. The second looks a little shaky to me but I'll definitely see it. My point is, the X-Men weren't drawn to look like a bunch of movie stars as much as they look like a bunch of ghetto hard street thugs. They casted every pussy in the acting business to play these characters. I unlike most movie watchers, don't mind seeing an actor I don't know play a part that he suits well. Neither applies for the most important character in the X-Men, Wolverine.
"Hello ladies, I'm supposed to be an overly hairy beast that would scare most human beings, but today I'll be played by a pussy little bitch with a 5 o'clock shadow that appeals to the ladies."
Ok.
"Hello kids, I'm Storm. I'm supposed to be an unemotional being with emotionless eyes and a grudge against humanity but today I'll be played by one of the cutest females in the movie industry who also just happens to have one of the warmest smiles."
Allrighty.
I'm sorry, visual effects can't trick me into believing a movie is good. And flat out, superheroes shouldn't really ever be turned into movies. The only decent superhero movie was Batman, and Batman Returns. And yes, Micheal Keaton was the BEST Batman as far as character relations and what I believe the audience could identify with.

^^^^ when was Wolverine EVER hella unappealing physically? You make it sound like he was a freak and shit up until now. Dude looks like a normal guy except for his hair and if he has his fuckin claws out. Also Wolverine has had various females. Hugh Jackman looks exactly like Wolverine has always looked in either the comics or the cartoon, and I been followin that shit for a long time, I got more X-Men and Wolverine comics from my elementary school days than you could count.
Everyone's forgetting something. These "mutants" joined the X-Men because they were shunned by the rest of humanity. Wolverine was a man beast with a very defined facial structure and the only people that gave him a second look were other mutants.
Let's get down to brass tacks, Lobo is the only sexy superhero.

I gotta agree with Zero here. My 2 brothers and I have collected almost EVERY X-men and x-men spinoff comic up until 94-95. Wolverine is not a normal lookin person. He is short, hairy, well built, and ugly. The fool is a wolf/human, and has way more of an attitude then he has in the movies. Zero is also on point about storm. The only character they got right IMO was Prof X and Cyclops, cause in the comic books Cyclops is a concieded little bitch he does get shit thrown in his face from everyone.
The thing that sucks about making X-men into a movie is that characters must have a hollywood appeal or people aren't gonna see it, thats why they made wolverine and storm the way they are. Once you get over that and enjoy the special affects its a decent movie. You have to get over the fact that it isn't a comic and its targeted at a non-comic audience, hollywood knows that the comic fans are gonna see the movie.
Gambit was casted for X2 but was cut because of too many characters. Beast appears as Doctor Hank McCoy on television. Striker and lady deathstrike are characters from the comics, and Striker's son is a spinoff of a very similar character in the comic books, they just changed his background info, but his powers and appearance are the same.
They probably won't have beast as a hairy animal and archangel, even though they are 2 of the OG x-men because the director said he already has too many blue characters.
