Worst Marvel Story EVER!!!

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2009)

This entire post contains many spoilers as I bring light to the many ways this movie stunk! This movie, in one well-dealt blow, has forever destroyed the X-Men franchise. The time-line, characters, and continuity are destroyed and will never be able to be reclaimed. It was one thing to take some mild liberty's with the X-Men story; Bobby(Iceman) a child when Logan joins up, Bobby(Iceman) and Marie(Rogue) with the love interest, Bobby(Iceman and Kitty(Shadowcat) with the love interest(and just what the hell is it with making Bobby the catalyst that keeps screwing things up anyway??), Jean manifesting as Phoenix in Canada instead of NY/Space, Piotr(Colossus) a child in the second movie when Logan(Wolverine) returns, etc. Still there the characters were "fairly" true to the books and the original character design. But this?? This piece of garbage that portrays Logan("Jimmy"?????) and Victor as brothers by blood? They fight with each other side by side for decades? Logan gets his adamantium enhancement via the US Gov't as an experiment to make "Weapon XI", not the Canadian Gov't as Project: Weapon X and a future operative for Alpha Flight?? Deadpool is the ultimate mutant killer with healing factor, teleportation, AND optic blasts and swords in his arms???? Who thought this crap up? And what was Stan Lee doing when they passed this by him? recovering from a coma? Or still induced in one??
Pitting Remy LeBeau as the shifty, shady, gambler who is Logans guide back to "the Isle"(Genosha??) was moronic. His presence alone throws things off forever. Now, with Gambit in his late 20s/early 30s and Rogue presumably still in high school at this point, there can be romantic interest between them. Continuity destroyed. With Deadpool being this "Silent" super killer, there will never again be the mouthy assassin for hire ever again in any of the follow up storys/cross-overs. Characters destroyed. With Scott(Cyclops) having been at this "Isle"(Was it or wasn't it Genosha????) when Logan helped do whatever it was he was doing there and Professor X coming in to save them all(shouldn't they all have been X-Men shortly there after then???), there can be no initial X-Men recruiting(the original 5 having been Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Bobby Drake, Hank McCoy, and Warren Worthington III{OH CRAP! thats right, that time-line is already screwed up by the X-Men movies themselves!!}). Timeline Destroyed! This movie should've been titled "Altermate Universe Origins: Wolverine". Then they could've taken as much artistic license as they wanted and not screwed up anything. Such as it is, all us loyal fans of the books and stories have to go to these crap movies now with an open mind as to how things are going to be reinvented for us who have taken the time in our lives to follow what was already laid out by people far more talented than the hacks who are picking it up. Nothing will ever be as we have known it, and to try to back track and redo it(like was done with The Incredible Hulk story) would not only throw everything off, but would further insult fans of the books everywhere.
Allow me to sum up with all the spoilers I can spoil: Logan and Victor are NOT brothers. Logan and Victor NEVER teamed with Deadpool. Fred Dukes was NEVER skinny. Kayla(Silverfox) IS NOT related to Emma Frost(Diamond girl). Kayla(Silverfox) NEVER betrayed Logan to anyone. Logan was found by the Hudsons, James and Heather, but they were neither elderly nor farmers. The Hudsons were Canadian Gov't Operatives, Vindicator and Guardian, and leading members of Alpha Flight, who later convinced Logan that joining Alpha Flight was a good thing. Scott(Cyclops) was NEVER captured by Sabertooth for experimentation by Col. Stryker and was recruited, with the consent of his parents from high school into The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, by Professor Charles Xavier, NOT rescued from some weirdo US Gov't facility by him. Remy had no prior interaction with Logan UNTIL meeting the X-Men. Deadpool IS NOT SILENT!!!! His non-stop incessant banter goes so far as to be exponentially more annoying that Spider-Mans!!!! All this and SO MUCH MORE! If you can get past all this, if you can disregard that it took years of amazingly creative peoples talents and hard work to create these characters, and this time-line, and these stories, if you can get beyond that the story is forever muddled into some ridiculous jumble of mish-mashed characters, interactions, team-ups, and nonsense, then you will love the hell out of this movie. it is the ultimate, corporate, money-making, action film for the sake of having some money from an action film. But, if on the other hand you care about these stories and these characters and the creativity it has taken to make them and bring them to you, you will likely agree with me that this straw was not just broken the camels back. It's ripped it out, smashed it into a thousand pieces, and fed it to the dying camel while laughing in its face!
