The Official Iceman/Shawn Ashmore X3 Thread

[Iceman]

I hope so, too. We've seen Bobby being portrayed as this serious teenager. I'd love to hear him make some jokes and laugh just once. I loved the scene with Bobby and Wolverine in the kitchen in X2. :up: I saw a photo of Beast, Bobby and Storm laughing outside of the mansion and that's a good sign.

Hopefully, but it's unlikely he will suddenly have a massive personality change. If anyhting, as the storyline is full of death and hardship, he may even get more serious. :(

[peteapan]

Seems strange that in a film full of pretty serious characters they didnt stick closer to the joker bobby we all know.

[IronSpidy]

When do you guys think we will see a pic of Iced up Iceman?

BTW why cant I get an avatar I have 300 posts and I cant find how to upload my avatar??

[vanillacyke]

Hopefully the pic of Iceman Iced up will be AFTER the film comes out. I don't want that spoiled. As for your avy I think it takes a little while before it registers that option.

I don't think they should release a pic - either show it in the final trailer or leave it for the film.

You need to wait for a while. An hour, I think. I waited half an hour for mine to show up.

[peteapan]

No way do I wanna see it before the final film. Some things are best saved for the big screen.

[IronSpidy]

I need to see a pic. The wait is hurting me...

[Nathan]

I also don't want too see a fully iced up Bobby before the final film. But maybe some sort of teaser. A pic of Iceman's face perhaps were you can only see the lower half, fully iced up and smiling, something in that direction.

I need to see a pic. The wait is hurting me...

During the X2 days, did they show Colossus in his metal form before the film came out?

Nathan, that would be such a big tease. But I think it's a great idea. ;) They should not show all parts of him, but one part. Just show him iced-up on his chin and grinning. I'd be very giddy for weeks. :eek:

[TNC9852002]

During the X2 days, did they show Colossus in his metal form before the film came out?
Yeah, it was everywhere...

Don't you remember the final X2 trailer where they showed part of it near the beginning? The effects weren't finished, but they showed it..

They showed it in a couple of commercials, there might've been a couple online clips with a shot or two of it, and there was also this 30-minute special on FOX where they showed a couple of shots of the Colossus cameo...There it was more finished and closer to the final shot..

Ah, well, I wouldn't know b/c I wasn't around during the X2 days. Thankfully. I was blown away in that scene. I really hope that they don't spoil us by showing Iceman all iced-up. Just a few parts of him will do.

You know, I watched X-Men and X2 a few days ago, and it kind of hit me. There is a *little bit* of comic Iceman in the movies... not enough, but there are a few good moments I hope they build on in X3.

Getting Pyro in trouble in class, dismissing Logan with "Yeah, well, it was good to meetcha," even trying to be clever and cover his tracks with "Nothin." after he asks Logan about Jean. WE NEED MORE!!!

I asked Penn AWHILE back if we'll see the joker side to Bobby, and he said at first we kinda do but things get hot and heavy pretty quick and Bobby has ta get serious.

Thats a cool answer I guess. I mean even Bobby gets serious when his friends are in danger. I hope he gets SOME comic moments at any rate. The only semi-joker side we have seen was of him asking Logan about Jean

I thought the whole kitchen scene really pulled Bobby's joker side. Well, not really, but it was something, though. "This is a school", "yeah, that's a no", "no prob" (with that smirk), him peeking and nodding at Logan when he asked if he was alright. Haha. :p

Hope there'll be more of that in X3. :up:

[NocturnalMadman]

"A bit lovely"! Hee!

I'm actually thinking the completely turning to ice may be a bit much...but then a "frosty coating" may have looked too similar to Colossus metalling up.

But then will being ice actually afford him extra protection? He might shatter! They say that there isn't action just for the sake of it so I wonder what purpose it will serve?

Maybe if he fights pyro, it'll save him from being burned but then wouldn't he melt?

(I always remember this one scene from the comics where he's in a burning building with these guys who have just attacked it and he said "I'm made of ice so I'm not worried, but what about you?" And I was like uh...fire melts ice??)

[LEX]

I hope that Iceman won't fight Pyro w/o melting. It would look pretty unrealistic and will raise a few eyebrows.

In Icemans case it acts as a way of keeping him constantly cool, so rather than melting him it acts as a defence against fire cos he can never heat up. I agree though I thing they will move away from frosty coating due to Colossus having similar power

[Sunstar]

Actually it doesn't matter if he ices up or not. I'd just like to see his ice slide! Now that would be an unforgettable X3 moment.

And the new X-men game looks liek spectacular fun, realy, who wouldnt want to bamf around as nightcrawler or hop on an ice slide!?! wolverine=bloddy goodness! and you cant beat the statue of liberty, no matter how "rubbish" it may or may not look!

Well, Bobby isn't a killer like Logan is. So actually no, there's no hoping.

Exactly. Bobby is what I like to call as... A GIRL.









He is one of those nice guys. Hurting someone is going to be very hard for him. If not impossible. :O

[LEX]

Well, someone needs to unleash his violent side. How about, one of Magneto's mutants attack Rogue or Kitty and Bobby gets angry and starts killing? :ghost::O

That could happen if either of them gets killed. I don't see Bobby getting berserk just because Rogue and Kitty are under attack.

[ProfeZZor X]

OMG:eek: ....you dont like Larocca`s art work....your insane....he is prolly one of the best X-Men artists of all-time...His Iceman is so badass looking

Compared to some of the great X-Men artists of the past (Jim Lee, Kubert, Peterson, Buscema, Kirby, Romita Jr.), Larroca's work is rubish. If I were him, I'd be ashamed to even consider doing that book with the way that it looks. There's just something about that chalky, unfinished shadow look that really bugs me. And his bodily proportions are off most of the time, and I can't stand his "bottom looking up" shots.

Thats true for Spidey but I dont think its true for Bobby. Since when's he got more personality when iced up? The X-men dont really go for the dual identities thing, theyre theme is prejudice. Thats why they can change costumes, wear civvies, whatever, and it still works.

Some of my favorite Iceman scenes are when he and Beast go in their civvies to that nightclub in New York wayyy back in the day. :up:

From what you said, it's a shame that there probably won't be the same sort of link between Beast and Iceman in X3. The movie Drake is almost too scared to crack a joke & it's these 2 who should be rolling off each other to lighten the tense atmosphere for everyone else. :up:

Too bad Fox hasn't shown any pictures of Iceman iced up yet. But if they're still working on him, they might want to use these as references.

[Cadetak4712]

I thought Iceman made like an Ice shell around his body and didn't actually turn inti ice. In the comics it doesn't look like he is a transparent block of ice...its more blueish.

I noticed that too. I wonder if there's a significance to that shot, or if it was by coincidence from both directors. With the look on his face, maybe he realizes he's playing with the big boys now and has to "Man up".... or "Ice up".

[ProfeZZor X]

He coats himself in ice, he doesn't become an ice sculpture.

There are quotes from numerous sources (Ratner, Special Effects Supervisor, Wizard Magazine, and others involved with the production), saying that he will be iced up and transparent... Why would they lie?

[X-Gal123]

No I didn't notice that. I think that the look is similar because he is realizing his world is changing. In X2 he was leaving his family and now it is probably that he is going to war and he or one of his friends might not be coming back alive.

[Retroman]

In the seocnd film he realizes that's left behind his family for good in X3 he's leaving behind the his life as and X-Kid. He's now an X-Man and he's also thinking about Rogue. The girl he loves. Will she take the cure just to be with him?

Does anyone know if Iceman's family will make a cameo appearance in X3?

It just seemed like that whole incident at his house in Boston was never really resolved, aside him jumping in the jet and leaving without saying goodbye. Maybe that's how Singer wanted to project how humans cope with the growing mutant population, and in his case, how parents of mutants deal with it.

I'm hoping they go back to that. I'd really like to see his relationship with his family now; how dramatically it's changed since his "coming out" in X2.

I don't think they will make a cameo because, like you said, I believe that Singer wanted to portray that families of mutants just abandoned them. After all if they parents cared don't you think that the parents would try to find their kids after they ran away and ended up at Xaivers. It seems like his family disowned him wanting nothing to do with mutants, even though they said they still love him. I don't know maybe they took his getting on the X-jet as choosing the X-men over them.

Another guess at how he turns to ice is if there's a situation where he has to focus and intensify his cold power, and he inadvertantly changes into ice as a side effect.

[deemar325]

He coats himself in ice, he doesn't become an ice sculpture.

News flash, He does actually turn into ice read the comics. He becomes fully organic ice and can't be killed while in that form.

[ProfeZZor X]

Or maybe they are watching what is happening at Alcatraz?

That could show some promise to it all. Showing how some mutants use their powers for the good of mankind. And that montage of human families watching it all on tv, or actually at the final battle, extending their support (to the good mutants), like they did for Spiderman vs. Green Goblin on the bridge, or in S2 right after he stops the train.

Typical of a Hollywood ending, but that would be a decent ending to the series... Everyone appreciating life, no matter how different they are..

[deemar325]

I thought Iceman made like an Ice shell around his body and didn't actually turn inti ice. In the comics it doesn't look like he is a transparent block of ice...its more blueish.

Nope he turns into frozen water, not a ice shell. In the comics he's been decapitated in his ice form and survived. He's not flesh in ice form.

Uh, it is ice........ Cracking and creeking is suppose to happen. That's what makes it more realistic (in an unrealistic world). If it wasn't there, you'd never know he was made of ice, and he'd wind up looking like Hollowman.

I mean, the same can be said about Colossus. Hardened steel isn't suppose to move, but he does.

Colossus' armor isn't really steel-steel as described by Marvel...Neither is Iceman's "ice" body (they refer to it as being, "ice-like"), which kinda bugs me a little bit to how they've chosen to explain how he's able to do what he does and still breathe and live normally...(A bit of a cop-out)

I don't even know if the effects for Bobby's ice-up were totally finished by the time of that set report taken from last year I think, so it's still a possibility of it being modified or changed a bit..

I haven't seen the method by which Iceman continues to live while in ice form being explained anywhere, but it's but one of many things that are not fully explained. In the same way I'm not sure how Kitty continues to live when she is phasing and her organs are immaterial. What happens if she continues phasing for longer than her organs can survive without functioning for etc.

Kitty cannot breathe while phasing so she has to stop before passing out or dying.

And her organs are part ofher just like her hair or arms or legs so why does it make a difference with her organs? She phases her whole body unless she is only phasing parts of it like if she was to crush someones heart she would phase her hand through then solidify the tips of her fingers and squeeze.

I just think that the bald look is so generic and overused. It's a lot more visually interesting, to me at least, to use more texture in his ice forms.

In the comics it's more interesting because as you say the bald look has been overused. In the films, if Iceman gets only this film to ice up, I think it just looks cleaner and 'cooler' without hair. If he were to get future opportunities, then I think the effects guys should experiment with different looks (although I suppose that wouldn't really be consistent).

He had an emotional arc with Rogue that needed a serious tone and a contrast with Pyro. I don't know if you've watched X2 as much as I have, but I never thought that he was never a boring character within his given role. You can't just look at a comic and say, "he was like this in the comic, so he should be just like this in the movie". The dialogue in these movies need to move the story around and if there's a moment that needs seriousness, it's gonna be there. They won't sacrifice that just to stay true to the source material and make fans happy.

I disagree here. The movie had plenty of serious arcs, and the Rogue-Bobby arc didn't need to be super emotional. And they could have done it with a mildly wise-cracking Bobby. Its not like in order to have a relatively serious arc they need Rogue and Bobby to be emo characters, just put it in the subtext.

I dont mind the story, I like it actually, but I feel it could have been done better with Bobby staying in character. And even if he served the story, the movie Bobby is still boring.

Would you say Iceman is a very important character for the overall film? In YOUR opinion will Iceman fan's be able to walk away from the film satisfied with Bobby Drake in X3? and not just his use of powers but Bobby Drake's role in general?

*For me, Bobby was one of the most exciting things about X3. He’s a far bigger character in this film than the previous ones. His emotional arc may be one of the broadest of the film. In many ways, he really grows up and becomes a hero in X3.

[Kira]

yea, you're right. They made Iceman emo and boring. :down

Thank You! I'm trying to like him. I really am. In X1, I was upset that his role was so small, I thought I would like him if we would get to see him more. And then they gave him a bigger role in X2, but still... dislike. :( And if he is going to hurt Rogue's feeling in X3, I think I will dislike him even more. Sigh... It's a vicious cycle. ;)

Penn:
Q. In the comics Bobby has always been the class clown / joker type guy will we see that side of him at all in the film?

* A little bit. But things get heavy, quickly, and there's not much time for levity when Toad and Sabretooth are leaping out of their graves and attacking you.
Pretty weird answer..

ummmmm? all i got from that are that toad and sabretooth are coming back, lol

but hes totally right...in the x-movies when has iceman really had time to quip....its been really heavy, and i highly doubt x3 will change it. the only time i see him jokin around is POSSIBLY the danger room....maybe he might think of it as fun?

[TNC9852002]

Oh c'mon....Iceman was not THAT heavy...That is, unless you're an Iceman fan looking for wisecracks every time he speaks, comparing him to the comic in every scene or somethin'... :D :D

*dodges book*

I don't want to say with total confidence that most of you have forgotten some of the smaller things that Bobby DID do in X1 and X2 that were lighthearted or smartass, but I'm starting to lean that way based on the replies..

I thought it meant that within the content, there really isn't much for Bobby to joke around about...

[Exploding Boy]

se murio..:(

Indeed... but in the middle of the movie his clone would come and take his place :cyclops::p

[Abaddon]

So if Bobby's body temparature is always low,how does he you know...get it up?

[X-Gal123]

Hey, I had a random thought which is probably not a good thing so feel free to tell me that I have lost my mind and my theroy makes no sense.

Okay so from the trailers it looks like Iceman has left Rogue and moved on to Kitty, but what if he did this just so Rogue would not take the cure. Think about it Bobby and Rogue have been together for a while and Rogue probably knows that it is really hard that he can't touch her skin so she considers the cure. Iceman finds out about this and while he wants to be able to touch Rogue he doesn't want her to take the cure and change herself just to be with him. He kisses Kitty to make Rogue hate him so she won't take the cure and hurt herself.

If this doesn't make sense its okay I just was thinking about it last night while I was half asleep.

Omg :eek: that is awesome.

[xwolverine2]

:cool: Omg :eek: that is awesome.
i know....

[Storm22]

I'm REALLY curious as to whether we'll see him ice slide at all in X3, I doubt it but I can't help but wonder, hmmmm!

[Kira]

:cool:
i know....

Aren't you modest. :D

But yeah, it's a cool avatar. :up:

If he does'nt that would be soooooo STUPID! In the prequel game he's Sliding around everywhere and if he does'nt use it just once on film that would be so retarded! I'm betting he slides right after he Ices up.

[Storm22]

Maybe he ices up and ice slides at the same time! That'd be alot of ice!

[Iceman]

Maybe he ices up and ice slides at the same time! That'd be alot of ice!

I'd love to see an iced up Iceman using his ice slides but I'm not sure how likely that is. :(

prequel games and such tend to exagerate...

but yeah...id like to see it happen:up:

[IronSpidy]

I reall dont know why pics are taking soo long to surface..?

[migs]

So if Bobby's body temparature is always low,how does he you know...get it up?

duct tape and popsicle sticks...

[N_z0]

Bobby really has no right to judge Rogue then. He should be ashamed of himself. In more ways than one.

[Abaddon]

They probably tease him about it in the X-lockerroom.His nickname is something like "limp sausage","soft popsicle",or "cold schlong".:o

Are you kiddin'? Guys c'mon He's Ice he can make it as long and stiff as he wants.

:eek: ........................................

[vanillacyke]

:eek: ........................................

Well he can!

[Abaddon]

But can he feel anything?Probably not.

[xwolverine2]

But can he feel anything?Probably not.
how else could he speak???

could you imagine trying to talk without being able to feel your tongue???

THATS REALLY HARD!!!!!!:eek:

[Abaddon]

Maybe,but the penis is different.

[WorthyStevens]

And once he reaches his "breaking point", that's gotta suck. His stuff would freeze up if and before it exits the penis.

[Abaddon]

The poor girl.I can't imagine what itd feel like for a woman to have icicles in her vagina.

[vanillacyke]

LOL! but yes of course he can feel when he's Ice, otherwise he would'nt be able to do anything.

[WorthyStevens]

The poor girl.I can't imagine what itd feel like for a woman to have icicles in her vagina.

Well, at least it would slip in and out fast enough.

[Abaddon]

But if its too hard,it could do some damage in there.

[LEX]

It'd go right through it, stabbing the girl. :eek:

[Spidey 2007]

lmao, wtf?

[WorthyStevens]

Imagine what Colossus all metalled up would do in there. :eek:

At least Iceman's icicles are very slippery, but Colossus... ouch.
