Okay, I just realized. WHY DIDN't WOLVERINE JUST STICK THOSE SERUM NEEDLES IN JEAN?

Far better than, "I love you!" *STAB*

Probably because she was tearing everything apart around her - but the attempt should've certainly been made on both Logan and the screenwriter's part.

My question is why they didn't just get Leech near enough to just turn her off. Conceivably she would have sensed him coming, but not if Wolverine was taking up all of her attention.

Professor X called Phoenix a being of pure instinct. I don't think it was supposed to be Jean. Wolverine realized as much. That doesn't explain why she woke up in the first place, since, giving Professor X the benefit of the doubt, he had taken steps to keep her subdued, and all Wolverine really did was touch her.

I just noticied, but if leech was shot with the dart..would he have been like...not mutant any more?

Also, I don't think wolverene touched her, he was about to but she woke up or something like that.

Good question.

Pheonix clearly picked up on Logan's desire to have his way with Jean and jumped on the opportunity.

more fight

But she never seemed to have a problem with Cyclops before. Sure, that could be because Prof X had more time in the past to set up a mental block, but the thing is that he doesn't say anything like that when he finds out she's left. He immediately assumes that somehow Wolverine has released her, which, of course, he hasn't.

POST OF THE YEAR. RIGHT HERE. END OF DISCUSSION. THIS GUY IS AWESOME.

Dude, he was grinding her for a full half minute after she ripped him open.

Yeah, it took him a minute to realize that what he had always wanted was not what the real Jean would do.

I don't think there's any more to it than that.

Saw it last night. It was terrible, just as I expected. I'll write more later.

Just saw it tonight, but I didn't stay to after the credits, can someone tell me exactly what happens at that scene and what is said?

It's a small scene in a hospital that insinuates that Charles is alive. So... Magneto still has his powers and Charles is still alive. Thus, in 3 years we'll see: X-Men: We were kidding three years ago!

Stupid Rogue, if she didn't leave to go get cured, she could've simply grabbed Phoenix at the end. Or they could've cure needle'd Phoenix. Or that bald kid could've simply stood next to Phoenix. WTF? And was I the only one laughing when Prof X died?

So since the cure is temporary, all the mutants will get their powers back. I wonder if that means Mystique will join the X-men in the next movie to get back at Magneto.

This was posted on an IMDB thread and I thought it was interesting.

Yeah, Rogue was pretty stupid. Cellophane sex isn't so bad...

She literally jumped on him, more or less.



I had to see that film, twice. The first time was with a bunch of local friends and the second time with some univeristy friends who had just come back from their exams. I can't believe I saw that film twice and did not see that part at the end of the film. Next time I'm going to protest the idea of leaving the cinema without having seen all of the credits footage for food.

This is an interview with Patrick Stewart that kind of highlights some of the failings of this movie. Especially concerning the lack of character development and the studio's push to have this film out as soon as possible.

People on the internet who think that companies are out to ruin their favorite franchises are dime-a-dozen idiots. Obviously, FOX wouldn't have invested at all if they wanted to "ruin" anything; why spend the money?

I'll tell you flat out that nothing had to do with "Singer's sexual orientation". I don't see him being aquitted of child molestation during Apt Pupil ruining his career - why would being gay?

You have to be especially careful of what you read on IMDB these days; it's more or less just another Wiki where people post stuff that they want to see/hear/believe. But unlike Wiki, getting stuff removed or edited once its on IMDB is very, very tough.

I was refering mostly to the later 1/2 of the article where it talks about the phoenix in the prior movies and fox rushing the movie out to theaters.

Singer has mentioned in interviews that the Phoenix was a last minute addition to the script. If you read the comic adaptation of X2, you'll see the originally scripted fate of Stryker (Magneto kills him) - which shows how late in the game some of the changes were made, given that the comic was made from the script and took probably about 5 weeks to adapt, draw, etc.

FOX made an investment. Why should they NOT rush to get a hot property out their doors? Movies are costing more and more money and taking in less and less profit. Sitting on the dailies and rushes does not pay FOX's bills.

This is just the internet telling it's self it's important and intelligent when all it is is some 14 year old thinking he's smart by connecting the dots to things that aren't even there. (I'm not talking about YOU, Im talking about the general "conspiracy theory" internet assholes)

Yes it was definately rushed as I saw in the movies today: A lack of character development, a seemingly forced movement in story and less screen-time for some of the major characters in the prequels. Also, I'm not familiar with the Comic books version, but do the characters die/devolve as quick as they do in the movie? 5 minutes in, Cyclops dies, Mystique devolves half an hour in, and Professor Xavier dies shortly after that. WTH?

Argh, I read about the surprise ending in the newspaper review but forgot to stay. Damnit. BTW, how does it insinuate that Xavier is alive?

I find it amazing that so many people are willing to accept that Cyclops is dead. We never see a body and the fact that every character has to repeatedly remind us that he's dead is more like them shoving a foreshadowing clue down our throats that he ISN'T dead.

I don't know... I suppose if they insinuate that Xavier is alive then...

I don't think Cyclops could've survived that attack from Phoenix. Sure he may be powerful but she was "off the scale" (or so they say). BTW, does he survive in the comic book (or was the Phoenix arc completely warped)?
