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 asideAnd 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....

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
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.

Damn laundry. Good thing I recorded it, but I bet I'm never going to be able to find the clip.
I cry.
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.
Seriously. X2 is going to suck...bad.
A MOVIE is going to suck because a GAME is different?
..
Where the fuck is the logic, yo? 
Oh my god.
First off, Rogue kissing Iceman?! NO NO NO NO NO.
Second off, Iceman able to control his power that precisely without any training? NOPE.
He started off not being able to make perfect ice, what the HELL?!
quote: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.

Then the same guy who made the ice-rose?
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?

Of course not.
Who would dare make sweeping accusations at a sequel without paying heed to the first one?
Oh, OP would. My bad. [ 02-23-2003: Message edited by: DƒU ]
It's not something people hear about.
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.

Veruca Salt said this about your mom:

I didn't want to butcher her name.
Basically, from what various talk shows the actress Mystique was played by was on, she was just wearing bits of plastic and body paint for her "au natural" blue form.
I'd have a hard time working with her.
HAR HAR, I MADE A PUN.

Excellent example of movie coolness. Mystique in the comic had a neat outfit, but Mystique in the movie looks badass too..

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.
Whoops. I went a bit wild with that.

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

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.

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.
I think the sentinals are man-sized, and wear clothes.
