X2 Thread, READ IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. SPOILERS IN SIDE - Page 3

Also, can't wait for The Matrix: Reloaded. Anybody know what the deal is with the 2 twins? Are they the new agents?

They're ghosts, deleted programs or rather the remains thereof. This gives them some neato powers like their ability to go ethereal. They live their "lives" like rockstars apparently and fight Neo and the others to preserve the Matrix and thereby guarding thier lifestyle...or something like that

They should bring Jean back with the classic XMen explanation:

"I thought you were dead..."
"I got better"

I'd kinda like to see the whole Sentinel thing unfold in the movies too.

Airlift · 2003-05-05, 05:58 PM

Yeah, the Sentinel story arc was also great comic fare, but James Cameron might get all shitty about it, what with him dragging the Terminator franchise out for yet another whack at the ole dead horse.

Word is that X3 will be The Sentinels (sp?)

Did I miss something

Edit: Ahh ok, I gotcha. Funny thing is that is the article I read about them in but it was awhile ago

WOLVERINE ROCKS.... nuff said... wait one more thing, yea i almost shit my pants when i saw gambits name on that screen

i wanna see a computer-generated jugernaut in the next one... and they should have bishop or cable teleporting in in the background for a few seconds just for us comic geeks to get excited over it.

They really could have done better with Rogue cause she was supposed to be able to fly and yet they didn't. They also could have worked on the parts with the jet cause it had cloaking somewhere in it but they never used it.

Just saw X2 and it was much better than the first X-Men imo. I was kinda shocked by the Jean Grey thing, and I thought that was going to be where Iceman stepped up and "officially" became one of the X-men. I never read the X-men comic books, I knew the charachters from the cartoon, and I remember Phoenix. As soon as I saw her die, I knew that she was Phoenix(only from what I remembered and of course, the way her eyes and hands glowed orange in the movie.).

Thanks to Hunter-R for explaining the whole thing, I really wasn't sure how that went down.

I also thought slipping "Beast" in there was kinda cool. It probably only stuck out for those of us who actually knew who Hank McCoy was.

Well they can't give her Ms. Marvel's powers in her current movie form. If she had those powers they would have had to scrap Bobby(or make him older), make Rogue older and perhaps include Gambit, it would have been very cool for us fans but would have changed the movie stories a lot.

hmm i didnt see beast in there

what part of the movie was he in?

Civilian · 2003-05-06, 05:04 PM

They(can't remember who it was that was actually watching) were watching television, and there was some sort of "round-table" on the "mutant phenomenon" where McCoy was arguing for the mutants.

Exactly.

Saw this movie last night and it was much better than I thought it would be. Completely kicked ass. Wolvie is the man, as always.

Ginzue · 2003-05-06, 07:05 PM

Ok just saw X2, IT KICK ASS!
It was so great, but by far the most funny thing was the 2 guys (in their 20's) sitting next to me...
Ever sat next to the MovieGoeres from hell? Well theies were the guys, the whole movie consisted of "hey dude, who would you rather do, rogue or jean" and such, it was haralious when one of the guys claimed that they knew german and was 'translating' what night crawler said, now since I speak german I knew most of what night said near the begining but the guys next to me were saying "yeh dude, that means 'I like god' and dude, he dosent speak very good dude" it was so fucking fully

.

Yeh the movie was awsome, can't wait till the next one.
