Okay FOx just aired the XMen and showed a preview clip... Now, Nightcrawler looked goofy in the trailers (In fact he looked stupid as shit), my fears now set aside

And oh my fucking god the Colossus transmorph bit was badass.

The "scampering on the floor" part of Nightcrawler still looks dumb, as does his costume whenever he holds still. On the other hand, him kicking that guy's ass across three rooms, teleporting through walls, etc, was sweet. I sold my soul to sweet special effects.

And I get giddy whenever I see the big Russkie getting metalled up. THAT is what we waited for all these years for X-Men movies to have. GOOD actors playing the roles (all the actors they got to play worked for me), GREAT stories relatively faithful, and KICK ASS special effects to bring it all to life.

Any trepidation I had about X2 is gone. The only thing that could cheese me off is if they don't do the Sentinels right (word is you won't see the Sentinels in a trailer til like right before the movie comes out).

Muahahaha...soooo coool...soooo coool....

We have seen the sentinels, they're even in the newest X-Men fighting game.

They're like Androids. Human looking, no robots here folks.

And they ruined Nightcrawler, so you're gonna have to drag me to the theatre for this one

Human-looking? Sentinels? Only human-looking Sentinel was Nimrod, and even then he was only human-looking part of the time.

Where have you seen the Sentinels? The soldiers who invade the mansion? Man I hope you're wrong. All the sites I've been looking at suggest the Sentinels get sent out when the mutants start fighting back.

I think that's the trailer although I probably screwed something up.

Sentinels were in one of the earliest trailers, and they are playable in the newest Next-Gen X-Men fighting game, my friend has it. They are human, I swear to you.

Like androids, Nimrod, but androidish.

Last I remember, I saw Iceman(Or Kid.) in Xavier's school in the first movie. So it's a possibility he's already had training.

So.. we can agree that they base stuff off the comic books, and are trying to stay good to it, but don't follow it to the letter, yes?

So long as they stay true to the spirit of things, fans don't mind. X-Men was the story with the most glitches to cover, but for the most part they have been covered.

Iceman's been at the school for some time. Least that's the impression they give. And if you notice, he still doesn't appear to have absolute total control (he shoots freezing blasts...don't see any ice-slides, an ice form, etc, do you? neither did I) so it's fair to assume he's still learning. Unlike mutants such as Collosus, Bobby's powers aren't an on/off effect. All in all I like how they're handling him.

As for him kissing Rogue, keep in mind that there's ways around Rogue's power. Surround yourself with a skintight force field (like "Joseph" in the comics did at one point) and you can touch her and she won't know it's not your real skin. Presumably Iceman can coat his lips with ice or something. Or Rogue's gotten better at reducing precisely how much mojo she takes from people. All in all it's not such a horrible point unless you're a Rogue fanatic.

Word on the grapevine is that Singer wanted to include Beast (he apparently was quoted as having said so in an article in Wizard magazine) but Beast wasn't quite flashy enough.

Supposedly Beast and Archangel will show up in X3 (which Singer intends to use to complete the story arc started in the first and continued in X2) along with Apocalypse and the Horsemen (of which Archangel will, of course, start out as Death)

thing I want to know is if the movie will involve the relation between Mystique and Nightcrawler.

Also if you notice, Nightcrawler doesn't look fuzzy. They all used to call him the Fuzzy Elf. No fuzz = EQ elf. Bah.

And I want them to include Beast as the big hairy blue bugger with the huge vocabulary who talks to much and wears glasses that look like mine.

I'd have a hard time working with her.

I am so much better because I paid for a lot of peices of paper with ink on them so movie makers should appeal to ME instead of a wider audience. Even though they'll get less money, because not everyone is a supercomic geek like me.

You dig tight spandex on your heroes. That's okay. Comic heroes have kickass costumes, and more to the point, female comic heroes look good in tight-fitting costumes.

But we can't have that in the real world. So Rebecca Romjin-Stamos running around in scaly blue pasties has to be enough

There was no doubt in my mind after seeing the first one that I'd see any others made after this, and while Nightcrawler's outfit sucks, his abilities look amazing, so I'm far more impressed with him. Can't wait to see Colossus fully armored up(can't believe they killed him in-comic), and what's this with Pyro I think considering joining up on Magneto's side?

Then you would have noticed Iceman training. In fact, his budding friendship with Rogue was a relatively major plot turning point, when Mystique took his shape to convince her Xavier was pissed at her and she ran off into Magneto's trap.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours.

If you look REALLY closely and freeze the frame soon after "Wolverine" appears, and is seen running down a hall; you can see he slashes a robotic head on top of some clothed shoulders.

Well, the original sentinels were only eight feet tall, but I'm willing to bet that's just Stryker's elite force, not the actual sentinels. What you think is robotics is just likely the guy's vision gear and the like.

Two misspellings even after an edit. What's wrong with me?
