Not that I remember. But if stryker is in it, it's likely his son is too.

Also, I feel the opposite of Jeritron. This looks really good to me, and it looks like they are showing a lot of respect to the source material, despite Gambit being a part of Wolverine's past. But that has a lot t do with fan demand for the character, so it's easiy forgivable.

YOUR Hero 12-18-2008 10:35 AM

Anyway, I listened a few more times to Wolvie and it does sound more like cut your head off.

So

Anyway, although X3 was packed with tons of characters and didn't give great back-stories, I still enjoyed it. X2 was a the gem of the series to date imo. Not too sure why people would suddenly become to downcast on the X-Men stuff, it's good eye candy. I think it's a case of too many people nerding it up. After all a book isn't a comic and a comic isn't a movie and a movie isn't a play.... There are different mediums and people that tend to know the back-stories already because they're fans of the stuff via one medium don't really need to be explained the backgrounds. Casual movie go-ers aren't interested in long character developments, they want to get on with a blowing up of stuff and the be-headings, etc.

So yeah, in conclusion, mitch owes me an apology.

It actually looks like they've pulled a great deal from the excellent "Wolverine: Origins" series, which I am very surprised, yet happy, about.

Aside from Gambit and Emma Frost being in an Wolvie origin movie, I am also looking forward to this. I feel like it could redeem the franchise.

Yeah he did. One blue, one green I think.

Granted it's different media, but the only things that really needed changing were the costumes. The eras of the source material that they drew on for the movie plots are some of the best periods in the X-Men comics.

Also, it is "cut your head off". It's widely acknowledged that the only real way to kill Wolverine or Sabretooth is decapitation. In fact, that is how Sabretooth dies in the comics anyway.

WITH A SWORD FORGED FROM WOLVERINES SOUL

XL 12-19-2008 01:20 AM

Yeah, it is "head off". It just sounds odd as they've removed the 'Goddamn' from the sentence and that throws off the flow and intonation of the line.

mitchables 12-19-2008 01:29 AM

You know, you would think that I would get sick of being right all the time.

But I don't.

Yeah, deapitation won't work either. Only reason it worked on sabrtooth was cause it was some magical sword dealy.

Jeritron 12-19-2008 07:09 PM

Let's focus on how the movie looks and not the minute details of the comics :p

YOUR Hero 12-20-2008 11:00 PM

So if I go back in time and think about the 1st movie, it never states that Sabertooth and Wolverine didn't know each other, it was just not mentioned. Or can someone remember something that would change that belief of mine.

Jeritron 12-21-2008 01:52 AM

Seemed like they may have known eachother. Doesn't matter anyways cuz Wolvy gets his mind wiped right? Sabretooth prob does too before he's set into the wild to be recruited by Magneto

.44 Magdalene 12-21-2008 01:53 AM

Yeah, Sabertooth always came off like an amnesiac hobo in the first movie.

Jeritron 12-21-2008 01:57 AM

Kevin Nash was originally cast to play him, but he couldn't because WCW wouldn't let him take time off, and they were owned by WB to boot.

I'm sure some of you may have known that, and some may not have.

There were subtle implcations that they knew eachother. And they never said they din't know eachother either. Honestly, it was a good move on their part. Probably didn't directly acknowledge it, as it would have taken time they didn't have to go into, but at the same time left it open, so they could revisit it later if given the oppurtunity.

Jeritron 12-21-2008 02:00 AM

They're both homeless amnesiacs living in Canada as far as I'm concerned. Whether they've crossed paths or not is of no matter. The first time they meet is when Sabretooth lays a tree across Wolvy's face and they don't speak a word because they're busy fighting.

BigDaddyCool 12-22-2008 11:09 AM

I also heard Danzig was suppose to be Wolverine, along with Nash being Sabertooth. If that had happened, I would have died of complete joy over loud/orgasming to much.

Yeah good point.

Um... when is this version of an Xmen movie to be released?

Kalyx triaD 12-26-2008 06:30 PM

One of my ex girlfriend's birthday.

I'm Furious:

Sam Jackson may not return as Nick Fury for Iron Man 2 and Avengers. Negotiations have broke down between his people and Marvel.

I suggest Marvel comes to their fucking senses.

Black Widow Close To Casting:

Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) is a frontrunner for the role of the Black Widow in Iron Man 2. Don't think she fits the ambitious qualifications laid out by the casting office, but she looks the part.

Fignuts 01-15-2009 10:09 AM

Eh, there isn't much great acting required for black widow. Just have to look good in leather, and occasionaly say "in soviet russia, road forks you!".

Kalyx triaD 01-15-2009 10:46 AM

Depends on how she's written. David Hayter loves her and did drafts on a whole Black Widow movie. There's clearly something about her.

YOUR Hero 01-15-2009 09:01 PM

No.

It's "In Mother Russia...."

Marvel's Penny Pinching?:

So how much was Mickey Rourke, hot off the heels of critically acclaimed The Wrestler, offered for his role in Iron Man 2? 250k. That's $250,000. Don't get me wrong, it's an amount of money we'd kick a puppy for, but for Mickey Rourke? And from a studio that absolutely banked just last Summer? No news on how Mickey reacted, but a similar situation may have been the catalyst for Sam Jackson's about face as Nick Fury.

Marvel, again, stop fucking around!

.44 Magdalene 01-21-2009 11:20 PM

So... Superherohype? Variety magazine, I guess?

Because one is Variety magazine and the other gets its news from Variety magazine. Come on now. I'm still not buying this shit.

.44 Magdalene 01-22-2009 02:39 AM

I mean, all I'm saying is these same guys claimed Will Smith was in the running for Captain America.

Various sources. IGN, Superhero Hype, Latino Review, and lesser spots that sometimes get some juicy shit. I actually find more news than I post but I doubt anybody's interested in the inane shit these sites post at times.

Jeritron 01-24-2009 05:09 PM

Pretty pumped about Iron Man 2. Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell joining the cast is awesome.
Emily Blunt is nice too.
The stuff Favreau said about making Mandarin a background villian like Sauron in Lord of the Rings, or Palpatine in the first couple Star Wars movies sounded brilliant.

Jeritron 01-24-2009 05:24 PM

I was reading about that "lowballing" thing though. It's literally a cause of the economy. A lot of actors are getting over far below their quotes, and accepting it. Big name actors too. Things are getting cheap in hollywood even at the moment.
So it's not absurd for those offers to be made, and even taken.

I also read that Sam Jackson said he wouldn't be in future Marvel movies if Marvel continues to be cheap. That doesn't include Iron Man 2, since the deal for that is done. He means Avengers and the other sequels.

"The Clawed Man" directed by Mr. Makemovies.
