Other than the levitation, and the massive destruction of property. That was El nino.

Here, lets me a list of obvious things that the movie did not cover

Spoiler:

*Who's the genius who ships Mystique in a GIANT METAL CONTAINER, and is escorted by several VERY METAL CARS? You're telling me the govenment is smart enough to make plastic guns but not to find an alternate method of prisoner movement?

*Why kill Jean? Why didn't Logan approach her and stab her with one of the Cure vials?

*Why does Jean syphon off Scott's life? Thats Rogue's schtick, isn't it?

*How is it that Juggernaut can run through 15 walls but when he comes to Leech, he runs full speed into one and more or less bounces off it with narry a scratch to the wall?

*Why is it sunset when the Golden Gate bridge is moving but when Magneto and his cronies line up to attack, it looks like its 10 pm?

*A lot of mutants have jumping powers - did it strike anyone as odd that all of Mangeto's "pawns" jumped REALLY far during the attack on Alcatraz?

*The whole "class 3" thing wasn't explained at all. Not only was it fuckin 12 year old mentality that decided someone should come up with a RATING SYSTEM FOR MUTANT POWERS, how would anyone outside of the government know about it? I don't think Calysto looks the type for pants suits and good manners.

*Why was Jean horny for Logan? She wasn't that way with Scott. Not to mention, you'd think if some undead girl scratches you deep enough to leave perverbial claw marks, theres something more going on than just kinky sex.

*Why did the X-Jet have a cloaking device? What is this, TITAN AE? And if they had a cloaking device - why did they use it only just before landing?

*Why did they put in Kitty Pryde? Garish pesimism tells me that its because someone at FOX wants to swap about the Famke Jansons for more appearances by Jojo as a mighty Marvel mutant. Kitty - a character I've come to like over the years - is treated as nothing more than a 13 year old sex object by Bobby Drake and the audience. All she does is attempt to fill Anna Paquin's boobs, er, boots and while your preference in girls is your own, Anna has an Oscar while the other girl has no name as far as I know.

*Did the Danger Room take anyone else out of the movie? I mean, yeah, jets coming out of basketball courts aint exactly real either - but jets exist in real life - something Bryan Singer seemed to be driving into our skulls the first two movies. However, big holographic robots don't really work. They don't exist. Not to mention, putting in a Sentinel is just fuckin masturbative.

*Okay, so Jean kills the Professor. I'd've liked to have seen some FUCKING VENGENCE from Magneto. Sure, Jean had him telepathically pinned to the sink but that doesn't mean he can't use his powers.

*Why was R Lee Ermey's disembodied voice in this movie?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

Well, I believe the vial would have just disintegrated in Wolverine's hands, much like his clothing, skin and muscles.

I agree that there should have been a scene where he picks up a few darts, and as he makes his way to her they crack and dissolve. The only thing strong enough to take her down is his adamantium skeleton and his regenerative properties.

Wasn't it obvious? He lost his powers once he came near Leech.

That doesn't account for the wall being untouched after he ran into it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Spoiler:

Magneto's army was rather pointless. Beyond 4 or so mutants, none of them had any powers to speak of besides that initial jump. They jump down from the Golden Gate bridge and then start fist fighting soldiers with guns. Am I the only one who could see MST3K ripping the shit out of this movie?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, Juggernaut's power is that he's unstoppable. When his power was based on the magical properties of the whatever crystal, it was halfway believeable in that metaphysical sense in that he could defy physics. All of these comic movies are going with the Ultimate Marvel version of things, though, so Juggernaut is a mutant. If Leech is around to suck out his mutant powers, then Juggernaut loses all of his inertia. He wasn't really running that fast to begin with.

I don't know how, though, the X gene would allow him to build up an unlimited amount of force.

FELIPE NO

That still doesn't explain the lack of effect on the wall. If anyone runs at a wall and hits it, they're bound to dent or scuff it. Not to mention, "dickhead" had a giant metal helmet on to boot.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Also, could someone tell me what reason the game gives for Nightcrawler's no-show in X3 (so I don't have to play it)?

I think I remember hearing/reading something about Alan Cumming not wanting to be in the third movie or something...I'm glad he didn't because i didn't really like the movie. The whole two different "love" triangles got annoying not to mention how did all this class 3 and class 5 stuff start? So what...are we going to have Super Mutant Level 5 or something?

How ya doing, buddy?

If it was a drywall, you're probably right. I think it was, even. You'd think the walls in Alcatraz would me made of stronger stuff, though.

They're made out of candies man! Get your facts right!

I always thought that Juggernaut wasn't a mutant, I thought he gained his power from a different way, at least in the old cartoon he did..

How ya doing, buddy?

I've done more running headbutts on school lockers to know that the wall would've had a dent in it.

Correct - Juggernaut got his powers from a mystical gem.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It would've been funny if he revealed that his powers were mystical after crushing Shadowcat and Leech. Hell, the movie was already screwed up, why not?

Juggernaut must weigh, without his "inertia" power, at least 300 lbs. He wouldn't have lost inertia just because Leech drained his powers. Realistically, he would've kept going through at least the first wall he hit until the natural laws of physics stopped him, since there was no "opposing force" pushing back at him.

Really, you have to look past silly stuff like that, though, and just take the film for what it is.

FELIPE NO

Theoretically, since the walls did look they were made of giant squares (of unknown matieral), they could have been too sturdy for him to go through under normal laws of physics. (It's really hard for me to comment on this because it's one of the most bogus powers, mutant or otherwise, I've encountered.)

How ya doing, buddy?

Marvel and movie continuity are not the same

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

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Good question.

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

Most amazing jew boots

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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