I prefer my version of the ending to X3

Did anyone else notice that it changed from day to night when they were about to step off the Golden Gate bridge?

And now, the alternate postscript, cut due to test audience reaction.

"Ah, Mr... Reiner, have a seat."

"Call me 'Magneto'"

"Very well. Your resumé says that you were the leader of a non-profit youth organization..."

What about Mystique? ( Read more... )

appearances, mutants, attractiveness, movies

Yeah, I noticed that re: day/night.

The evil mutants were the hottest people in the film. Gods, the chick with purple hair...

Oh yes, the evil mutants were hot and had good fashion sense, but among them were the only stocky people in the film, and a lot of them had skin conditions or otherwise looked different, as opposed to Xavier's, who are all preppy.

Are you trying to imply that stocky == ugly?

No, but it was very clear that the mutants guarding the camp were supposed to be expendable, unkempt and troll-like - it pisses me off. I glad that there were exceptions to the Hollywood standard of beauty, even though they primarily applied to minor characters, but I don't like the impression of "these actors look like regular people, so let's make sure they just exist as goons, as opposed to the students, who look like the upper middle class ideal and are therefore the heros.

Part of this stems from the fact that looking at the profession of reconstructive surgury and the issues associated mith it.

I wanted to laugh the whole way through. rye_bunny May 28 2006, 07:36:18 UTC

It was for the fans. "Oh, you guys like Colossus? Sure, he can throw a few people. Angel is popular too? Alright, he can fly around a bit." There were so many characters, they didn't get a chance to develop any one of them. As per usually, Logan got the most screen time.

Juggernaut is not a mutant, but I guess I can understand them changing that to avoid explaining it - but it still pissed me off. He is Xaviors bother, and is always trying to kill him, yet they said nothing to eachother at Jean's house.

Also, Halle Berry is no Storm. The point of Storm is that she is stoic, and in control of her emotions (thusly her power). Not some overacting teary eyed twinky. Same with Logan, though I blame the writting not the actor in his case (I really don't like halle berry)

In conclusion, the best part of the movie is the line they stole from the internet Here (it's not funny). Seriously, they did.
