The Official Rogue/Anna X3 Thread

[Nightmare]

Maybe keep it blonde, add some white streaks in the middle. See how that looks.

[Angamb]

Rogue has never been blonde, hehe.

is not perfect or exciting, but I did it this days ago:

Preview of True Blood, the new series Anna is starring in. She seems feisty.

[flavio_lebeau]

does she have a southern accent?

[xmenfilesfan05]

She sure does and it's much more pronounced, it sounds great.

[flavio_lebeau]

Oh thanks.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

so unfair! shes so awesome and beautiful! and we saw neither in x3.

so much unused potential. the longer time passes from x3 the more the actors/actresses that were really neglected seem to be getting bigger and just really breaking out. which really shows how awesome the casting was, but how badly the scripts/direction etc really were.

i mean anna has had a lot of stuff coming out lately including that golden globe nom. for bury my heart at wounded knee. ellen page has become a household name as has james marsden. the both of them have just gotten huge! and famke is doing pretty well herself.

when will the rage cease? i dont think ill ever be able to calm down when it comes to x3. like im still fuming 3 years later. if x4 came out and fixed everything i think that is really the only thing that could mend my hurt.

[xmenfilesfan05]

New extended trailer for True Blood, she looks and sounds great!

Damn!!!

:kicks the desk:
:screams:
:crashes the laptop:
:swears FOX and Ratner one more time:

So much lost potential !

I think this video alone is proof that Anna Paquin is not responsible for X3 Rogue outcome. I mean, even if she could have done a better job with the given script (insert sarcasm), why should she? Fox didn't give a damn about performance and acting skills. The only way of thinking was "Get this movie done already, we need to make moneyyyyy!"

Pfffrrr...
It's been... 2 years and we are still whining here...

[ChaoticPsylocke]

she looks and sounds great! she does look great with blonde hair. although sometimes not.

i love her! :yay:

wish we could get this at my house...

[ToriL90]

Wow! I had no idea she could do such a great southern accent! I knew she was a great actress, though. ;) It seems, based on those previews, as though the writers of True Blood are saying, "See, Fox? This is what you SHOULD HAVE DONE with Anna!" lol

[X-Gal123]

It's not like Singer made Rogue into a kick-ass character in either of his X-men movies. You may have been disappointed by Rogue in X-3 but I've been disappointed with her since X-1. In all three of the movies it feels like the only character the makers cared about was Wolverine.:csad:

[Angamb]

that's why they don't deserve we all go quickly to see X-men origins: Wolverine in the threatres.

I won't see it there. I won't give them my money for just Wolverine.

When they do X4, I'll be there, but not now.

[conan69]

Fangoria is holding a free screening of Trick R Treat on Oct 13 in NYC.

Just got the reply. I have my tickets!

[BMM]

Let us know how the movie is or if Paquin is any good, as it seems like the movie won't even be released in theaters.

[britrogue]

I had my hair done like Rogue yesterday and the streak is actually white! My hairdresser said there was no way she could get it to go white, but it has. Weird. Looks totally cool though :yay:

[Pyroschik]

That's cool. :) Do you have a picture of it?

[Angamb]

wow, the second pic is really great, I mean, you looks great there.

I wish I was a girl to can do that to my hair, hahahahaha.

[britrogue]

Thanks guys! The dark bit should lighten up a bit, looks black at the moment.

[conan69]

Looks great.

"My hairdresser said there was no way she could get it to go white...."

My G/F put a streak in her hair for my Bday 2 years ago - but they were afraid to do white, so it was more like a light tan.

[Angamb]

have you all seen the True blood pilot?

it wasn't bad, in my opinion.

Anna is curious, she isn't the typical actress, that's for sure, he.

[TheVileOne]

She is one of the youngest actresses to ever win an academy award ;) .

[Angamb]

yes....

although she hasn't been nominated since then, hehe.

[britrogue]

I need to start working on some manips. We haven't had any in a while

[Angamb]

Who saw the first episode of True Blood?

Is different from tha pilot leaked time ago?

[conan69]

They seemed almost identical to me from what I remember.

[Angamb]

The one I saw was cut, the end I mean.

[Angamb]

has the second episode been aired already?

http://www.seriesadictos.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/true-blood.jpg

I love this pic, beacuse of Anna, of course, hehe. Is pure Rogue. :heart:

[Pyroschik]

She looks really pretty in the series and i especially love her hair. :)

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i know! im so glad it finally came out!

i wish some her movies would come out! she has like two she filmed forever and a day ago that dont even have a release date yet!

[Pyroschik]

I know right! grr! I wish they would stop making us wait forever. :(

[Angamb]

what about this?

Yes, and one of the things I like most about the show is that it can finally show the naysayers that Paquin has the chops to play Rogue, because they way she portrays Sookie, with her take no **** attitude, is just perfect for Rogue, and shows it was more of the writing than anything else that was wrong with the movie character.

[britrogue]

Been working on a Rogue poster, tried out a few effects, not sure which I like the most. Help please!

i was at blockbuster today with my boyfriend and we saw that the first episode of true blood is out on dvd. i didnt know they did that for just single episodes. i wanted to get it, but i didnt.... = (

i still havent seen the show yet!

[Angamb]

I saw the second one, it was better yet, I loved the music, and one of the first escenes of Anna and her love interest, she was almost dead and he gave her his blod, great scene, with that track.

[Angamb]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls...

Give the Welcome to Rogue:

I wish she'd go to the wolverine premiere and take a a few pictures with Taylor, just as a wink to the romy fans... :cwink:

[Angamb]

none has seen the amazing new photos????

:huh:

[@JeanGrey]

I read she's dating her co-starring actor.

[Angamb]

mmm, didn't know it.....

who knows...

[Alex414]

True Blood was sweet tonight. Anna showed nudity tonight, I swear to God. She showed her b00bies. It was cool :wow:.

[conan69]

Yup, she sure did.

[Alex414]

I have a screencap saved. Being it's inappropiate content, PM me if you want it.

[Neto Magnus]

It looks like True Blood is fast becoming my new favorite show.:woot: oh and FYI Lynn Collins was also nude a few eps back.

[Angamb]

yes, none had commented that "Silver Fox" is with Rogue in this series, hehe.

[Neptune]

Damn, i'm missing out.

[@JeanGrey]

True Blood was sweet tonight. Anna showed nudity tonight, I swear to God. She showed her b00bies. It was cool :wow:.

Flavio is gonna be so excited for this :woot:

[Angamb]

I don't like to see people talking about Anna in that sense...

I don't mind if it's about Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba, but about Anna isn't nice.

[Nightmare]

Anna is showing her flesh now? Im kinda disappointed to hear that, at the same time excited to see how she looked.

[@JeanGrey]

I also thought Angamb that she was not going for nude scenes. I like her modesty in her style. She is 26, she already has made movies and theater, she is known, so she could push for a no-nudity term.

But with financial crisis and all, maybe she signed for some more... I don't know.

[Alex414]

Whoever wants to see the screencap, PM me and I'll give it to you.

[Pyroschik]

yes, none had commented that "Silver Fox" is with Rogue in this series, hehe.

omg! i just noticed that! i didn't even recognize her for some reason.

[TheVileOne]

That had to be the greatest minute or so of television of all time.

That scene from beginning to end was fantastically done. Women must've been going nuts.

[conan69]

You can see caps and clip at egotastic.

cndb has a downloadable version in superhd

And yea Im mixed about that scene as well. Annas been my favorite for a decade. To me it was both good and bad to see her do nudity.

[TheVileOne]

If there was something bad about that, then I will never be good again :D .

[Angamb]

I know this is repetitive... but who said Anna can't be a great Rogue?

[gap5ewl]

Why would someone with possibly lethal skin wear such a skimpy outfit?

Because that's her mutant power! Therefore when the bad guys touch her, they die! DUHHHHHHHHH:whatever: lol

[xmenfilesfan05]

Anna has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Sookie Stackhouse, a sassy southern belle. It was a pretty good show.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

she looks sooooo great!

when does true blood come out on dvd? i really wanna watch the show, but we dont have hbo.

[gap5ewl]

I watched that show the other day. And I was blown away how she acted like Rogue. W...T...F... why didn't she have this type of personality in the films? I mean she even has a thick southern accent in the show. Sigh..

[conan69]

You dont need to have HBO.

You can see the episodes online at a dozen places.


Jsut go to ovguide and type in true blood and youll get plenty of links

[EnDz0n3]

Anna looks hot as a blonde and Im usually a brunette type of guy.

Congrats to Anna on the Globe nomination!! Hope she wins. :)

[xmenfilesfan05]

Anna Paquin won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series, TV Movie, Miniseries tonight! Good for her!

[Ares23]

I love Anna and I love what she did with the character of Rogue, she portraits Rogue's traumatic side very well!
Hope she will back in the next movie!! :D

[Not_Sane]

i'm so glad that Anna won the golden globe. hope to see her on the big screen sometime soon.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

omg i was soooo happy for her last night!

i started watching true blood two weeks ago and became obsessed! she's amazing.

thanks conan69 for telling me where to go to watch!

[BMM]

I was glad to see Paquin win. It's nice to see her and the show receive some recognition.

[EnDz0n3]

Congrats to Anna! Didn't see the Globes but was she there to accept her award? Does anyone have any pics?

[BMM]

Yes, she was there to accept her award. Here's a link to the video.

[EnDz0n3]

^ Thanks BMM!

I'm incredibly proud of Anna! I'm like a proud daddy...hahaha :D

[Neto Magnus]

She won a Golden Globe for showing off her golden globes on True Blood. Awesome.

[Not_Sane]

does any one know if the first season is out on dvd yet?

[BMM]

No. As of now, its release date is May 12th.

[Not_Sane]

thanks for the info, just finished watching the first two episode of TrueBlood. The show rocks.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i know! i want the dvds so bad!

i hope it comes out sooner than may.... thats when the new season comes out right????

i wanna have a huge true blood marathon!

[BMM]

Probably. The Season 1 DVD release date may be subject to change, but it will, in all likelihood, coincide with the premiere of the second season.

[EnDz0n3]

the season for this starts on a may? Isn't that usually when most shows start to finish up their seasons (ie. for the summer break)?

[Not_Sane]

Maybe its a short season.

[BMM]

the season for this starts on a may? Isn't that usually when most shows start to finish up their seasons (ie. for the summer break)?

That's when most primetime and other similiar shows finish their yearly runs. HBO, however, doesn't keep such a consistent schedule. For instance, Flight of the Conchords' (another HBO program) first season debuted in June 2007. Its second season premieres January 18, 2009.

Maybe its a short season.

The first season is only 12 or so episodes, so it's doubtful that it's shorter. At least, I hope it isn't.

[TheVileOne]

Anna Paquin is now an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner. Now she needs an Emmy.

[Not_Sane]

And then a Grammy...lol sorry I just had to.

[EnDz0n3]

^ Imagining ScarJo type CD...uh just say no... :oldrazz:

[MaleRogue]

I love Anna, but does she have her teeth fixed already?

[ChaoticPsylocke]

nope! ive gotten to the point where i mostly dont mind them. and i think it might be a bad idea for her to fix them, shes recognizable to a lot of people, and fixing them would make her seem vain and junk. maybe. everyone does it, but she would be doing it so much later in life....

idk

[ChaoticPsylocke]

oh and how do i get to read your fanfics? im very interested!

[Andreth]

I started watching True Blood and I can't believe this is the same actress that played Rogue! I'm loving the show!

[Mdizzle]

good for her on winning the Golden Globe...and btw i think the gap in her teeth is cute

[TheVileOne]

Seriously guys let go of the teeth thing.

I think she's a gorgeous goddess.

[conan69]

my favorite character on the show was Jessica.

Amazing looking and entertaining too.



Hopefully we'll see more of her next season

[Mdizzle]

beautiful and talented.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

they look great! i looked on the wiki page for true blood and (im sure its just because they havent actually shot the episodes just yet) but there were only like 5 episodes listed for the season, and on everyone's imbd page it said the same.

are we gonna get a short season? or is it bc the other episodes havent been filmed yet?

[Illuminata]

She needs to go back to black hair. I don't like the blonde.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

really? i LOVE it! it gives her a much sexier look in my opinion. and im gay so its not just that i think blondes are sexier kind of thing.

i think with her natural brown color she looks very pretty and all that, but i think blonde really make her hot! which is def right for her character.

[xmenfilesfan05]

[katie_girl09]

You know, its funny. Now she seems attractive enough to be Rogue.

[spark627]

You know, its funny. Now she seems attractive enough to be Rogue.


She always was, they never allowed her to be though! They made her looks like a plain jane (barely any makeup, hippie clothes, lack of accent and boring hair)

[Mdizzle]

She looks more playful as a blonde.

[katie_girl09]

Still don't know if she's good-looking enough to play opposite Taylor Kitsch Gambit though (if that ever actually happens).

[ChaoticPsylocke]

OMG those pics were awesome! she is gorgeous.

[Angamb]

Paquin doesnt need to be Jessica Alba or Megan Fox to play Rogue, the issue is to see Anna sexier than in X1-X3.

And that is really easy.

She and Taylor would look good together.

[TheVileOne]

I always thought Rogue was hot in the X-men films.

They simply dropped the ball in X3 when it was Rogue's time to shine and evolve.

The only logical outcome was for Rogue to go to Alcatraz and help stop Jean. That would've been more organic than Logan stopping her.

It was appalling that Rogue went through with the cure and the filmmakers and screenwriters justified that it would've sucked for her without it. APPALLING.

IMO the balls been dropped since X1 and no one bothered to pick it up. As much as I disliked Rogue taking the cure I think it fit "Movie Rogue's" character that was set up in the previous movies.

I disagree. To me, it wouldn't have made sense if she didn't take the cure. She's a young woman, living with the fact that she can never touch anyone she loves (romantically or otherwise) or she may kill them. What a horrible curse! Would you want to live with that? If there were a way to cure it, wouldn't you? I would.

[Slim_X]

She looks incredibly hot in True Blood, too bad they never showed that side of Anna as Rogue.

[TheVileOne]

Katie girl09:

1. What you are talking about is essentially what was the Rogue character for many years.

2. When faced with the opportunity to get a cure in the comics, Rogue refused it because the technology was dangerous.

3. The cure itself is a symbol of oppression

4. The cure itself was implied by the epilogue to possibly be temporary. Meaning its just a quick fix. Its not a true cure. Hence the flaw in the logic of your poor argument

5. The outcome went against all the buildup for the character in the movies and years in the comics. It went against everything. If Rogue truly loved and cared about her friends, she would've gone to Alcatraz herself.

6. What was purely wrong about her taking the cure is that Rogue did it for her own pure selfish needs. That's NOT what Rogue or the X-men are about.

[Mad Ones]

^ I totally agree.

Rogue taking the cure makes her not an X-men. Having one of their members taking the cure makes it as if the X-men are endorsing the cure. It totally legitimizes that this cure is a good thing, and not a threat or symbol of oppression. Not only does this go against Rogue's character, but it goes against the X-men in general.

What would have been great is to see Rogue seriously considering taking the cure, but than understanding what an insult it is too her friends, the X-men, and mutantkind. Bobby should not be happy that Rogue sold herself in to be like everyone else.

4. The cure itself was implied by the epilogue to possibly be temporary. Meaning its just a quick fix. Its not a true cure. Hence the flaw in the logic of your poor argument

5. The outcome went against all the buildup for the character in the movies and years in the comics. It went against everything. If Rogue truly loved and cared about her friends, she would've gone to Alcatraz herself.

6. What was purely wrong about her taking the cure is that Rogue did it for her own pure selfish needs. That's NOT what Rogue or the X-men are about.
1. ???

2. Yes, because it was dangerous. If it hadn't been and she had taken it, it would have made sense.

3. For some mutants, maybe. Namely the ones that do not want to take it and whose powers do not affect their ability to live an average life. But Rogue cannot even touch people! That is torturous. Taking the cure is not oppression if she wants to take it and it will free her from being a prisoner within her own body.

4. "My poor judgement"? Hello! We are taking this a little too seriously, aren't we? What is the need for a personal attack on my judgement? :huh:
And anyway, the fact is that it was supposed to be permanent. She thought it was permanent, or else why on earth would she have taken it? So your point about it not being permanent is moot, really.

5. It doesn't go against Rogue's build-up at all. She is a scared teenage girl who was jolted out of her life by a tragic event in these movies. Your error is in assuming that this version of Rogue is the comic book one. She is not. This is a different take on the X-men. Shouldn't everyone know that by now?

6. Oh, okay. Yes, that selfish cow, wanting to be able to touch those that she loves and live like a normal human being is supposed to. :whatever: Its easy to call her selfish when you know that you will probably never have to experience something like that.

[TheVileOne]

1. ???

The whole idea of not being able to touch or be close to her lovers or loved ones. That pain is an essential part of the Rogue character. Getting a cure of this ailment is something Rogue faced before and she refused it.

2. Yes, because it was dangerous. If it hadn't been and she had taken it, it would have made sense.

Uh the cure itself is dangerous because humans want to use it to oppress other people and control mutants. That in itself is WRONG. Its like trying to cure your gayness or trying to cure you from being black because the majority is white. Its not just about the not touching thing its about BEING WHO YOU ARE!


3. For some mutants, maybe. Namely the ones that do not want to take it and whose powers do not affect their ability to live an average life. But Rogue cannot even touch people! That is torturous. Taking the cure is not oppression if she wants to take it and it will free her from being a prisoner within her own body.

Again this is the point of the character. Here is what you are too closed minded and refusing to see probably because you supported this turkey in 2006.

Let's say Rogue didn't take the cure. Let's say she goes to Alcatraz, and using her powers she is able to stop or at least temporarily help stop Jean. What you are in denial about is that Rogue's powers can actually be used to save people. She can use her powers to save lives instead of wallowing in her own selfish depression of what she can't do.

A person that can't walk or has a handicap can still live a productive life. You can still be an important person and you can still live your life without having something your normally thought you could always do.

It its NOT a part of Rogue's character to allow this to happen to herself. Does she consider these things? Yes. Does she feel conflicted about them? VERY YES! But she never succumbs to these urges, this is the part of the purity of Rogue's character.

When writing X-men 2, David Hayter wanted Wolverine to have sex with Mystique disguised as Jean. Dougherty and Harris wrote that out because they thought it was ridiculous for Wolverine to have sex with a substitute. And that was a more effective move. Seeing Logan confronted with his personal sexual fantasies and desires and being allowed to fulfill them, but Logan rejected it. Logan refused a A FALSE fulfillment. It was much more powerful when Logan shoved Mystique off even after she took the form of Rogue, and he told her to get out. That was Wolverine to a T.


4. "My poor judgement"? Hello! We are taking this a little too seriously, aren't we? What is the need for a personal attack on my judgement? :huh:
And anyway, the fact is that it was supposed to be permanent. She thought it was permanent, or else why on earth would she have taken it? So your point about it not being permanent is moot, really.

Your argument itself is poor and overlooks the fact that in the epilogue in the movie they leave the cure open ended by saying, OH MAYBE MAGNETO CAN GET HIS POWERS BACK! Doing such a thing as well as "curing" Rogue and saying it was OK so life wouldn't suck for her is emotionally irresponsible.


5. It doesn't go against Rogue's build-up at all. She is a scared teenage girl who was jolted out of her life by a tragic event in these movies. Your error is in assuming that this version of Rogue is the comic book one. She is not. This is a different take on the X-men. Shouldn't everyone know that by now?

The character itself was truthful to the basis of Rogue. X-men 3 ruined that. She was a teenager when this happened to her in the comics. All those things above were true of the comics incarnation as well. Yes this was a different take, but its all part of why X-men 3 was such a blatant misstep that ruined the franchise, they did so much screwed up ****.

Its a different take, but X-men 2 still effectively said that Jean would NOT take Wolverine over Cyclops. That's true to those characters. Jean loves Scott and wants to be with him. That simple. X-men 3 went back on that and ruined it.

6. Oh, okay. Yes, that selfish cow, wanting to be able to touch those that she loves and live like a normal human being is supposed to. :whatever: Its easy to call her selfish when you know that you will probably never have to experience something like that.

We aren't talking about myself. We are talking about Rogue. Essentially in the movie, Bobby is being an ass and cozying up with Kitty even though Rogue is his "girlfriend." Rogue takes the cure, a cure that might not even be permanent, so she can touch her immature teenage boyfriend. That's the epitome of selfishness. Teenagers are selfish creatures that require immediate gratification. They don't want to take responsibility for their actions and they take sexuality lightly. Rogue was part of a greater cause, instead she chose to reinforce racism and oppression for her own selfish needs.

Does a person like Beast not suffer as well? Beast can touch people, but look at him? He sheds fur and he no longer looks like a normal human. Beast didn't stab himself with the cure so he could look like a normal person again. Nightcrawler has a forked tail. He was tortured and brainwashed by Stryker. And yet he is still one of the kindest and most gentle people alive. Did Nightcrawler not suffer as well? Why not give Nightcrawler the cure so he can live a normal life as well.

[katie_girl09]

Your opinions are not right just because they are yours, you know. :whatever:
And the point is that Rogue WANTS to be able to touch people. She WANTS to be able to live a normal life. That is why taking the cure is not opressive for her. Would you say that someone who can fix their deafness/blindness should remain deaf/blind even if they want those respective senses back just so that they can "be who they are"? It makes absolutely no sense. And you don't seem to want to get over the fact that Rogue from the movies IS NOT Rogue from the comic books.

So does Spider-man. What's your point? Being a hero is about making sacrifices, even if being a hero wasn't what you originally wanted in the first place.

The point is that Spiderman can live at least a somewhat normal existence when he is being Peter Parker. Can Rogue take off a costume and be Marie who can touch people again? No. So what is your point?
But it doesn't matter what I say because you will never listen anyway.

Obviously you don't read much Spider-man.

Daredevil can't see again, but he can still live his life. That's the problem, you are only seeing Rogue's powers as a curse. The point is to see the positives of Rogue's powers and the good they can do. The movie REFUSED to do this.

In the second movie, Rogue was able to use her powers to stop Pyro from killing police officers. That's FREAKING IMPORTANT!

[cronosred]

I find it so funny when people tear apart X3 but excuse Singer when he made so many of the same mistakes. IMO Rogue sucked in X1, X2, and X3. People praise the realism in the X-Men films, well guess what in the real world there are people who would take a cure for many things they would like to change about themselves if it was offered, look at plastic surgery for starters, In all three X-films Rogue was wanting to touch people and when the opportunity came she took it. I would probably have been more upset about this if she had actually been used to her full potential in the previous X-films but she wasn't.

No I do not read much Spiderman. He is not necessarily my favourite superhero. But unless the writers have drastically changed something, Spiderman can live a somewhat normal existence with a few exceptions when he is being Peter Parker, much like other masked superheroes.

I am not arguing that there is no good to Rogue's power. I never argued that. I am merely pointing out that people who condemn her decision generally refuse to see the horrible parts of her powers as well:

*She can't touch anyone that she loves
*As such, she will probably never be able to get married and even if she does get married, she will never have a normal marriage (which she will probably long for)
*She might not even be able to have children (will they die in the womb from prolonged physical contact?)
*Even if she can somehow find a way to have children, she might not even be able to touch them.

Blindness can be devastating, but you can be blind and still live a typical life in every other respect. It isn't going to have the same effect as not even being able to touch anyone without harming them.

Great post.
People are condemning Ratner, while it was Singer that laid the foundation for what a lot of people complain about in X3.

1. Lame Rogue
2. Too much Wolverine
3. Cyclops given the shaft
4. Not enough characterization for guys like Colossus

etc...

[Angamb]

Im sure Singer would have done a better job with Rogue in X3... the same with Colossus, at least two lines of dialogue, hehe.

Congratulations to Anna on her engagement to Stephen Moyer!

Don't worry, she'll be single again sooner or later. It always happens ;) .

that dudes too old for her, anyway

[katie_girl09]

Is it rude that this is what I thought as soon as I heard that they were engaged?

And yeah, he is WAY too old for her. He already has two kids for goodness sakes. But whatever. Whatever makes 'em happy.

This may sound dumb, but doesn't the girl wear gloves? You can't touch someone the same way, but at least you're touching them.

Hey, new guy here :yay:

I don't know about those, but I'll give you Rogue. This girl should've been Jubilee. I stick to the cartoons and Wolverine was like the father figure to Jubilee, not Rogue. I always wanted someone else to play Rogue, like Angelina Jolie or soemthing like that. I figured she'd finally fight in X3, but no.

Cyclops dying was all FOX & Ratner. Singer was planning for X3 to be Cyclops' coming out party. He was finally going to be a main piece.

IMO, Wolverine wasn't really shoved down our throats until X3. I actually loved X2. X1 didn't have enough fighting scenes. It was very bland. I would've liked to at least all the X-Men fight Magneto at once. Magneto is alot more powerful than the movies show him as.

As for Colossus, I was praying for him to fight Juggernaut. I would've loved to seen that, but we'll never know now.

[katie_girl09]

Welcome to the Hype, King of Hearts! :)

Angelina for Rogue? No way, Jose! Not for me.

And I thought Singer gave Wolverine way too much attention. And even though I don't really like Cyclops, he should have gotten more screentime.

[Spider-Fan83]

if Singer had such great plans for the project, he shouldn't of left it...
so, at the end of the day, any complaints about 3 should be directed at him

Ratner gets a lot of crap about the movie, but, really he did the best he could with what he had to work with
he came to the project last minute, with the script, storyline, and most the cast already in place

from anything I hear of things he did manage to change or add, were all things for the better

(not to get to far off topic)

I didn't really notice until X3. He was ok in X1, X2 was about Wolverine, but not by a lot. Idk, I guess I didn't notice it that much until the third movie.

Who would've you casted as Rogue?

From what I heard online, FOX didn't want to wait for Singer to finish Superman so he put Ratner on the job. Singer had BIG plans for the franchise. He already had ideas for X3 & X4! FOX lucked out. Cyclops was gonna be the guy to kill Jean Grey, not Wolverine.

[Spider-Fan83]

what did Singer except for them to say, when he's all like, "I am going to go do superman returns, if you can just wait a year to two before going ahead with x3, that would be great"

[Fresh Prince]

Thanks!

I do not know who I would of had for Rogue, but it be better then Anna Paquin.

It is really sad that Anna is ten times closer to Rogue as Sookie (True Blood) then they allowed her to be in the X-Movies. If Rogue has been handled correctly, Anna would have been perfect.
