I actually don't see how the original story was so impossible to stay truer to. I'm really not seeing that.
It's an incredibly simple story. The only reason all the cast was changed was for simple box office reasons. However, Wolverine is in it ANYWAY. There was no reason for him to take the lead role over Kitty. None.
Also, what was the point in adding ALL those characters and making a big deal of them returning when:
1. They weren't in the original story.
2. They weren't even "in" this film? Sunspot didn't even have any lines. Blink had about three. You don't need them, so don't include them. It can't be a fan nod because fans of them won't dig that.
It was just frustrating because this could've been the first X-Movie I've ever really liked. At times it felt so dark and grim, but then it just destroyed itself like they always do.
Plus, please no Quicksilver ever again. WHAT is the point in having him in this and not have him as Magneto's kid or anything? They presumably took Wanda out due to The Avengers 2, but then just remove Quicksilver. His part could've gone to any speedster, an original speedster or any stealthy mutant. Like, I DUNNO. Nightcrawler?!
What a mess. Fox is InGen. Doing things before considering if they should.
Also, why do they not interact in X-Men 1? Marvel Studios movies interlock perfectly because they were planned from the start. Fox trying to retroactively jam these into continuity is dumb.
Trask was a big, black man in The Last Stand. Now he is, literally, the opposite. Why could Kitty do that? Why not have ANY psychic? Why not have Emma Frost be a survivor so at least she could do it? WHY NOT THE PROFESSOR?! IT'S A PSYCHIC THING.
