Mystique is the ultimate minion.

She's like--- the most perfect 1st lieutenant ever. The FE wishes it had its own Mystique.

...


Peter Wingfield's in this movie! How come no one told me Peter Wingfield's in this movie???

Hn. American accent too. odd.

...

I still have the opinion I had last movie: Rogue and Wolverine have entirely too much UST. In three or four years they'll have solved her touchy-problem and be doing it like rabbits.

That said, Bobby was really sweet, and much more endearing in this movie than the last.

...

So nice when kids and teenagers in movies actually behave and react like kids and teenagers, even with superpowers.

...



::girl screams:: That's a hell of a warning system.

Wall of ice. Neat-o.

How cool was it that Rogue was the one flying the jet? I love it when movies attempt to break gender stereotypes.

"Don't we have any weapons on this thing?" Yeah, it's called Literal Manifestation of Wrath Of God, and it has white eyeballs and is sitting in your pilot's chair. See twisters! Twisters x200!

Ack! Jean's dead! Or is she? Either way, her eyes are cool. Wow. I actually feel totally bad for Cyclops. More so than Wolverine. Wolverine has a super-crush, Cyclops looks like he lost his soulmate.

I feel sorry for the metal girl. Dying while under someone else's control, no will of her own.

Heh. How cool is it that Xavier is the most lethal dude on the planet, and could end mankind?

I do like Nightcrawler, with his leaping and blurry blue smoke and very personal take on religion. And pride in the circus.

C'mon, who didn't know Magneto was going to reverse it? I saw that.

Mystique's bar-girl dress looking exactly like her blue skin was a great costuming decision.

Pyro going bad was too easy to see, but the actor was mean enough that he was more convincing to me than Anakin ever was. I was very interested by the line: "I can only manipulate the fire; I can't create it." Indeed, fire is a gift that consumes and destroys, that does not create.


I want my own Mystique. Someone get me one for next Christmas?

All in all, vastly more entertaining than the last, and with a much more interesting plot.

I expect Matrix 2 to blow it out of the water, and Return of the Ring to blast them both off the planet.

Mystique, is fucking kick ass. You're just figuring this out! ;)

I'll have to recommend some choice X books to you. Yeah Mystique's an uber-bitch, but she can kick your ass and has a hell of a tragic back story. I've just got one more final on Tuesday. I'll work on getting a few scans up. Also, if you can, check out the new X-Men animated series X-Men: Evolution. It's great and has loads of hard core Mystique. Repeats run on the Kids WB and Cartoon Network.

I've watched a few episodes of that. i actually like the movie version better, but she's cool in that. The problem is I don't like the cyclops of that series, or the way wolverine is drawn. But the Rogue and Jean and Storm in that series are pretty cool, as is the teenage Nightcrawler.

Re:

What I like about Mystique in the X books is that she's more than just a minion, oh she can play the role of the crownie, and well, but Mystique is very much the ringleader. She was the Brother Hood. That's why the new animated series appeals to me, although they've tied in the minion element from the X Movie and have her working for Magneto. It's a bit OOC, but she still has the bite and the gumption of canon Mystique.

*grrrr*

Re:

what are you growling at me for?

Re:

[lin-lin-lucy.livejournal.com]

you seen the movie and damn you had to rant about it!...*grrness*

i havent seen it yet....

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Hey, i said there were spoilers! you had to follow the link to be spoiled... I warned you.

[dragolyn.livejournal.com]

I love Rogue and Wolverine and totally agree about their UST. 4 or 5 years, like you said... I so wanta see that movie... :D

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I ahve this huge desire to read movie fanfic for that ship right now.

The problem is, after this movie I like Bobby, and would feel bad seeing his heart broken...

Re:

[dragolyn.livejournal.com]

Heh. I don't have that problem. Bobby can just go join NSYNC or something... he's got that boyband look... Don't know what it is about him that bugs me so much- probably just a lack of chemistry there.

And if you find any good fic, please pass it along. I did a little looking on ffnet last week but couldn't find anything worth reading. Maybe the greatness of the Spuffy fic out there has spoiled me.

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to cift through stuff on ff.net... I end up reaidng almost everything, and judging from the first paragraph whether to continue or not.

[greensilver.livejournal.com]

Try wolverinerogue.com. Some of the stuff there is not wholly fabulous, but a lot of it is decent, and you're a lot better off there than on ffnet. I could probably rec a fic or five from there, if that'd help.

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

wow, link! thank you! and you have a hot icon. I hate lambchop sideburns on principal, but dammit if hugh Jackman isn't the one dude that might make me not care.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

that doesn't seem to go anywhere, with or without the www.

My villianous Alter ego is working on developing his very own Mystique, but it be a Galmour based thing rather than a genetic mutant. Would that do you?

Ack! Jean's dead!
No she will rise from the ashes so to speak!

I feel sorry for the metal girl. Dying while under someone else's control, no will of her own.
Lady Deathstrike? Yeah someone has to tell Bryan to stop killing all the GOOD villians or he will be left with the rubbish ones! I don't think even her healing facot could pull her back from that one!

How cool is it that Xavier is the most lethal dude on the planet, and could end mankind?
If the government knew that, they certainly would not suffer him to live!

I do like Nightcrawler, with his leaping and blurry blue smoke and very personal take on religion. And pride in the circus.

Nightcrawler has always been my favourite and Cumming did a fantastic job with him! I always liked the way his Catholicism is portrayed as a positive influence in his life (As an atheist I don't know if you've noticed, but a a lot of sci-fi/fantasy tends to portray Religion as purely evil. It's just nice every now and then to have a positive religous character)

whose Bryan?

(As an atheist I don't know if you've noticed, but a a lot of sci-fi/fantasy tends to portray Religion as purely evil. It's just nice every now and then to have a positive religous character)

Yeah, I've noticed. I think partly, it's an easy target to make villians. All religions have zealots, and zealots make great villains. also, there's this huge "multi-national organization" that is the catholic church that is just ripe for a corruption-storyline.

I tend to like things like what we saw briefly on Firefly (you probably missed it), where you have a religious character and an atheist character that play off each other, both bringing the good and bad of their particular views.

Re: whose Bryan?

[mrthursday.livejournal.com]

Byran as in Bryan singer, the director of X-men and X-men 2. Natraully I am on first name terms with him...

The (UK) Sci-fi channel is going to show firefly so I will at least get to see it!

Re: whose Bryan?

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

It's enjoyable. And it got better with each one, making me really pissed when it stopped.

Re: whose Bryan?

[mrthursday.livejournal.com]

It must be good. We have an informal law in this household called "The Network ruling", which basicly states that if any show is both GOOD and shows potential, and a sci-fi/fanatasy show, it will be rewarded by being cancelled!

Annything with the name "Gene Roddenbery" attached willl be accepted, even when it is total rubbish (andromeda I am looing at you!)

[corngirl-jo.livejournal.com]

I still have the opinion I had last movie: Rogue and Wolverine have entirely too much UST. In three or four years they'll have solved her touchy-problem and be doing it like rabbits.

From your mouth to TPTB's ears!

One hopes.
