@ursaber: The musical interlude was too long but it feels like they did not have enough things to make fun of! Honestly, I did not see the movie because Wolverine is one of my least favorite characters haha.
This would be way better if they kept Rachel but got rid of the other characters in this lineup. I would even give this a chance with Old Man Logan (who seems to be the same as Young Man Logan unless I am missing something) if the other team members were not so predictable.
I would like to see an animated series about this team:
Which over a season or two evolves into this team:
The story would take place right after the Dark Phoenix saga, and like in the comics Kitty would be the POV character for the viewer. Outside of comic readers, most people don't know why Kitty is considered such an interesting and important character. This show would give the opportunity to show why Kitty is great.
Storm would be the new team leader. Storm has been shortchanged in all of the animated series to date, so this would be a perfect opportunity for her to shine.
Colossus would be a core member of the team, which he hasn't been in any of the animated series. He would be teamed up with the other three amigos Nightcrawler and Wolverine, and their friendship would be given time to develop.
The show would even be set in the 80s so the fashion choices would make some kind of sense. The Disco Dazzler could make appearances, and Kitty's constantly changing wardrobe would be part of her story.
It would adapt some of the classic X-Men stories from that era; Days of Future Past, Demon, I Magneto, Chutes & Ladders, The Brood Saga, Prof X is a Jerk!, Dancin' in the Dark, To Have and Have Not, From the Ashes, He'll Never Make Me Cry, LifeDeath and The Trial of Magneto.
Using this lineup would even fit in with the current direction of the comics with X-Men: Gold.
Thoughts?
Hmmm interesting. I'd watch it!
This isn't my favorite lineup or era (Mohawk Storm is my least favorite Storm and I have never been into the punk scene) - but it has not been explored that much (ever). I think this would be more interesting than the same lineup we've seen over and over again except in different series.
Without morals or operating near the peak of her potential/powerset, she should be able to take out Exodus in a good fight. Generally, because her powerset, she tends to get gimped in these types of encounters until the story calls for it to give other X-Men a chance to shine.
It's really just a case of many of the more powerful X-Men being written to be less powerful in order to depict a traditional fight, but if a writer wanted to get unconventional, a lot of these fights would not unfold in the traditional superhero punchfest. In a Jean v. Exodus fight, it would really be a case of who can get past the other's shield and psi attacks to either pulverize the others bones or achieve a knock out.
I'll stick with Iceman and Jean Grey. I think I am too old for the "back-to-basics" approach, which has been done umpteen times before, since they always read as the same "new-team-new-lineup-old-but-updated-enemy" approach!
I am against WW not having the power of flight, she gave that power more meaning than any other hero. Also killing of the gods! Her best stories came from the involvement of the Gods, the more the better.
Exactly! I guess the pantheon's inclusion might offend Christians, Muslims, or other religious people which could negatively impact $$$/profit so they may have decided to get rid of them to avoid those issues.
marvelfan1992: They made it way too complicated all Jean had to do is use Karnak's own powers against him, she could have trapped him in an Introspective loop, where he continuously evaluates his own flaws, until he has none, the catch 22 is perfection is unobtainable, so he would be trapped indefinitely..
Good idea. Too bad most writers aren't that creative with telekinesis or telepathy.
