Not only that, but they did a recap of last episode and then started the
'new' material with a revamped ending from last episode (they just walked in
the door from outside and right to the closed door with no laser beams or
anything).  I noticed a couple of 'coloring errors' in this episode as well.

First, when Rogue sucked Wolvie's energy, she took off her glove.  But her
arm and hand were green, as if her leotard had long sleeves and gloves
on the end of the sleeves.  Then when Storm was attacking the Sentinel
in the open sky near the end of the episode, the place where her
lightning bolt was supposed to be was not colored yellow, and instead
was just a blank place in the art.  Pieces of her cape and the background
were missing, so i assumed they just forgot to color the lightning yellow.

All in all, the first episode was better than the second.  The second appeared
rushed and less well-thought-out.

One question:  where is the Beast being held?  I thought he was at the
Sentinel base, but i guess not since he wasn't rescued along with Jubilee.

	I've been reading this thread for a few days now, and I can't resist
posting. What amazes me is that a few friends and I have had
conversations before on the very same topic this past summer, and we
agree on many of them! Well, I humbly offer my personal list:

Idealistic Cast:

Colossus: Arnold Schwarzenneger (Height? Height?!! He's about 6"4' last I
	recalled!!!)
Gambit: Val Kilmer (Willow, The Doors, etc.)
Jean Grey: Val Kilmer's wife (can't remember her name, either, natch.)
Psylocke: I'm a little surprised not many people have considered this but what
	Tia Carrere? (She's definitely got the looks, the Asian look, and the
	ability to kick bad guy butt (note Wayne's World). As Jubilee? Naaaahhhh.
Professor X: Patrick Stewart, of course!!!
Wolverine: Mel Gibson. I was watching Lethal Weapon one day and...
	(If the argument is height, they can always use ramps a la Rambo movies.)
Cyclops: Harrison Ford (Maybe. I have yet to think of someone more
suitable. But,
	I think we can all agree that he CAN act.)
Rogue: I've never seen her act before, but one of my friends suggested Mary
	Stewart Masterson (I think that's her name. She was in Fried Green
	Tomatoes.)
Magneto: Rutger Hauer, without a question. Well, one. My friend suggests:
Sabertooth: Rutger Hauer. Not as good as Mags, IMHO, but workable.
(Watch the end
	fight scene in Blade Runner)
Storm: Iman (check out Star Trek VI)
Everybody else I have yet to figure out. But...

Realistic Cast:
NOBODY WE KNOW. That is, all newcomers. Casting for all these characters
would take a lot of $$$. The special effects themselves would cost quite
a bit, given our heroes' diverse powers. (I imagine it would cost a lot
because they would have to rig up a totally different effect for each power.)

BTW, I wonder if anybody is actually compiling a list of all the
suggestions. I think my friends will get a kick out of it. Just curious.

Later,
The Chunger :)

No, actually the only thing Sinister did was give him a mental block
so that he couldn't use his power on Sinister.  Though they could have

Boo, hiss.  I *hated* this bit from the story!  She couldn't do it in
that issue of X-FACTOR (I forget which one) where he thinks she's
Phoenix, rips off his goggles, looks at her, and says "See, my energy
blast didn't fry you; I *knew* you were Phoenix!".  It was actually
the fact that Leech was nearby that saved her from being blasted.  So
how, all of a sudden, can she do it now?

 I think Martin Phillips has some points, but bascily, I don't see the problems he's talking about involving an X-men movie.  They could follow the basic X-men (mutant) story line from marvel, I don't see why it would have to change to seem more real (i.e. have them get powers cause of a nuclear holocast).  But the fact is rarely do they keep original storylines when taking something from a comic (or even a book), look at TMNT.  With computer graphics becoming easier to do, the special effects for the hero







s and villians won't be as hard to do, and can even  be pretty realistic.  Being a fan of the comics, I really wouldn't want to see them ruin my memory of it with a movie.

An oriental who was born and raised in Britain?  They don't necessarily HAVE

Speaking of Rogue, I hope they start doing better with HER powers... to
where she can do more than just "absorb the strength of anyone I touch".
Also, it shoulda knocked Wolvie cold...

  Of all the stuff I liked in TAS (and all the stuff I didn't like, for that
matter), I enjoyed the fact that Cyclops was the only effectual X-man vs.
the Sentinels. I think Slim doesn't get enough respect.
   I mean, (to bring in a non-canon source) look at his stats in the RPG, and
compare them with anybody elses' (esp. Havok's)
   They make him a wuss. And I wish they'd explain his powers to the writers.
I think it's a "force" beam, not a "laser". Didn't he (as a child) use "pulses"
 to save him and havok? HOW? No reaction (we can see)? Hmmmm...

 Maybe if he uses x amt. of blast, there's little recoil; but if he uses x*x
blast there's more recoil...

Well, just for the sake of nitpicking, Spider-Man didn't burn out the
Captain Universe power.  Captain Universe will pick a host body in
order to prevent some disaster from happening.  Spidey got the
CU power before Acts of Vengeance in order to stop the Tri-Sentinel
(of course, usually CU doens't possess someone that long before
the incident that CU's there to stop, but, hey, it was a cheap
marketing ploy).  Once Spidey/CU stopped the Tri-Sentinel, CU
left Spidey (as he leaves all his hosts after completing his
mission - kinda like Quantum Leap, isn't it?).  Minor difference,
but I felt like pointing it out anyway.

I don't think so.  Remember how Marvel time works?  I'd place Scott and Jean to
be 26 at the oldest, and I believe that Bobby was the youngest of the team, so
that'd make him around 22 or 23.  (Remember, they started out ranging from 14
to 18 years of age.)

Nope.  Magneto (if you were to go with the comic history) was rejuvenated.  I'd
say he'd be between 30 and 40, tops.  As for Xavier, HE could've been rejuved
as well when he was cloned LONG ago...

I happened to LIKE that story.  And, I'd put him to be about 40 in appearance.

Try issue two of Spider Man.  I believe the Chameleon was the one who
died in Professor X's place back in X-men #42.
And, no.  I don't think Morph is based upon the character.  I think
he's more based upon his name-sake, the pprocess dreamed up by ILM.

Nope.  Spaceship grabs fragile Cessna.  Four people, one chute.  The
two boys (Scott and Alex) are chosen to go.  Alex wears the chute, 
Scott hangs on.  Parachute falls to fast.  Scott, always the martyr, 
chooses to fall in such a way that HE takes the brunt of the fall, 
smacking himself in the head.  This starts a glowing in his eyes, and
occassional discharge.  Professor Xavier is brought in to check it out, 
as he is an expert on superpowers.  He takes the boy under his wing.

Why, since the fanboys took over X-Men, that's since when! Can't have

I have read all the ideas for the cast of any possible X-Men movie.

I feel that no movie company could possibly afford to put together the talents
that have been suggested.  (Didn't Arnie get like 100 Mbucks for T2?)

I feel that an ENTIRELY unknown cast would be the best way to go.

It will allow everyone to go in without any preconceived notions.
(Remember when Batman came out?  "Will Keaton pull it off?")
(Keaton was the only one to pull it off in this film, and you guys)
(would like to try this with more than 3 cast members?)

Frankly, to get people to turn out all that is needed is good set/costume
design, excellent Special Effects (I.L.& M. would be great!) and
a good "DARK" television/movie trailer promotion.

Allow a truly excellent script to be written as well as hiring a great
casting director to be hired with all the money you save.

Hey.. I just caught the second parter today (slept thru the first, how
stupid).  I haven't really been paying attention to the posts from last
week, so I was just wondering...

     Did anyone else find the dialogue was extremely poor??  Rogue was
just a walking cliche (used that 'nervous as a  LTcat in a room full of
rocking chars' twice), and wolvie came off more as an asshole than a
tough guy (there IS a difference).  I thougt Cyke and gambit were done
well, tho.  The beast didn't sound at all like I pictured him, but I
guess that's my fault.  I thought jean Grey could have not been there
the entire episode... her part really sucked (there's no other way to
say it).  The animation was good, tho.

    And what's up with the president of the US?  I know I didn't vote for her..

anyways, enough
