The X-Men 3 Photo Album

[lordofthenerds]

Hmm. I was there, and what other pics do we suspect Gina photoshopped? Because the only one I know of that she photoshopped is the headstones pic.
I think that the Angel in uniform one is photoshopped.

[gap5ewl]

who else here is on XVerse other then me and Lightning and TNC?
i am.

[xwolverine2]

im new to xverse but i dont like the place....i dont like the atmosphere and it feels like im walking into the dark side(the website is all black).

[The Punisher]

So do I. I didn't want to say anything but since this topic is on hand i think that pic was photoshopped.

[Storm22]

storm22, whats ur xverse username?

[lordofthenerds]

I am. I haven't been posting there lately though.

[xwolverine2]

I think that the Angel in uniform one is photoshopped.
why?........cause it looks cheap

[ts16]

Im on there as well :)

[lordofthenerds]

why?........cause it looks cheap
That and because Kinberg stated on the Xverse forums that Angel won't be wearing Cyclops's uniform.

[Storm22]

im new to xverse but i dont like the place....i dont like the atmosphere and it feels like im walking into the dark side(the website is all black).

There's nothing wrong with the place itself, I actually like it. There are some very loyal Gina followers there though.

[Specter313]

why?........cause it looks cheap

I believe that some of the piping coloring was changed around to make it look more like Cyclops' uniform.

[xwolverine2]

That and because Kinberg stated on the Xverse forums that Angel won't be wearing Cyclops's uniform.
oh...then it should be fake

[Storm22]

I believe that some of the piping coloring was changed around to make it look more like Cyclops' uniform.

Good point Specter, that would've been easy for her to do! Never thought of that, she was adament it was Cyclops' suit too.

[gap5ewl]

Pus foster kinded hinted that the only major thing he's doing is flying around. and if you notice the only promos we see of him are of him in his jeans with no shirt on. That kinda comfirms it.

[Storm22]

Kinberg said he's involved in action scenes though. I'd say there's a good chance we'll see him in a uniform.

she prob replaced the head of a similar pic of this

That's what I was initially thinkin too, Angel's wings in Gina's pic look too low down and his head doesn't fit the body right.

[The Punisher]

I heard according to a set report, the very same one that first gave rise to the authentication of Psylocke in the film, that Angel is a participant in the action sequences with the Brotherhood as well.

I'd say there's a lot more that he will do.

[xwolverine2]

or it could be real..........lol

[JustABill]

Hmm. That Angel pic did look fake.

[pyromaniac]

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8725/ffake6gk.png (http://imageshack.us)

No - that was in the official site as well, those markings on Iceman's uniform made their way into a wallpaper and perhaps a couple of stills too.

I'd say there's a lot more that he will do.

And he'd hardly go into battle, let alone spend the whole movie, in his jeans and nothing else. I do think Angel will wear a uniform but I think Gina may have changed the piping to Cyclops' colour in her pic, as Specter said.

[Specter313]

Yes.

But the point was that some of the images, especially those ones that started it all, carried with themselves legal ramifications of copyright infringement.

SHH! was aware of this.

I'm referring to the aftermath, and the impact of collective behaviour preceded by the catalyst. The level of elitism adopted by the instigator. That's the problem I'm delineating: the chain of events that is curious to me.

I'm just saying and again, not wagging the finger; I'm scouring for holes in the larger picture.

Ok, I'm still a little puzzled just what you're after, but really, the only elitism that seemed to go on over there is Gina and a couple of her more major followers. Everyone else who showed hatred towards the hype only did so based on her stories. Now that the truth is starting to come out, hopefully all the major haters will just disappear, and then the others would finally see the error of the path that they were lead down.

[Specter313]

im new to xverse but i dont like the place....i dont like the atmosphere and it feels like im walking into the dark side(the website is all black).

Once this whole current situation clears up, things will get a lot better over there. I was in and around a bit over there before Gina started her stuff, and it was a nice place. It was even nice in between the times that Gina talked crap about us. With her gone, it will definitely get better. Ted and Matt only want a peaceful place where fans like us can talk about the X-Men similar to what we do over here, and have fun while doing it.

[xwolverine2]

what could angel pos. do in a battle???

[Storm22]

Flying attacks I presume.

[Specter313]

what could angel pos. do in a battle???

Fly down at high speeds and knock people out real hard.

Swoop down, grab a bad guy, fly up real high, and then drop them.

Grab allies and fly them into the middle of a bunch of baddies where they won't be ready for him or her.

He could do a lot, just gotta use your imagination.

[The Punisher]

I've been to the Xverse and the forum seems ok. Cept like Specter said with Gina gone it'll be better. And i'll taking signing up there to consideration.

Hmm, I should be a little more specific.

To utilise the nutshell quota - I'm talking about those who did not like the waif, yet wanted, or did have some of the pics released by her, and flaunted that exclusivity, either consciously or subconsciously, but the bottom line was that that kind of behaviour certainly was provoked by and mirrored the troublemaker's attitude herself, to a degree.

That is what is curious: it is no big deal either way, as to the outcome or cause and effect of this odd predicament, but it does intrigue me as to the administration of psychological and power play at work.

And a bazooka too!

How many times has he used that in a comic? I can only recall one instance, and that was during Joe Casey's run.

There's something to be said if Angel was one of the original Xmen, so he's had his more than a fair worth (pun intended) of first-person, direct and damage control action.

Also, he can deliver whiplash just by sheer power of his wings alone. Imagine those wings actually doubling as weapons: that'll be something else to see!

Can you repeat that in normal English and not Hank McCoy talk? lol

[MemnochZERO]

I guess that’s why I never cared much for his feathered wings, especially after they brought them back. I got so used to the giant f-ckoff metal wings of death he had when he became Archangel. The kind that could decapitate enemies with little effort and fire paralyzing razor knives into people, such fun.

yeah but those rust....

[pyromaniac]

Can you repeat that in normal English and not Hank McCoy talk? lol

LMAO... Sorry...

Didn't mean to. I'm sure I sounded like an elite too!

*tries to think of how he could simplify into near abstract talk*

Gina camp: adulation of a demigod deity, because out of respect for power in flight against authority, even if it is that kind of feared power, and condescension of everyone else who chose not to follow the cow-and-moon cult.

Anti-Gina camp: the hailers of enlightenment and wisdom, the members in employ of practicality and level-headedness who spurn said deity in favour of their own free will, logic and smarts. :D

Mixed-Gina camp: agreeable with latter camp's stance, yet either swayed by corruptible material and gospel media. Also known as the band of the confused, neutral and the willing ignorant. Extols the right of freedom of speech and an exercise in one, but at the same time apathy towards or above the law.

The last one is the one that I have the most intrigue with.

That's all.

Again, no big deal... :D

[MemnochZERO]

yeah but those rust....

Unless they're rust-proof. Unfact, i think they were designed from Apocalypse' own maliable cells, meaning, they were metal, but probibly weren't as lowgrade as the metal you'd find at a scrapyard. Probibly closer to the quality of Wolverine's adamantium.. only breakable (see Sabreooth; Red Zone). Of course in the film, if you watch X2, they were probibly going to go a different rout explaining metal wings.
Anyway, what my point is is, Wolverine's claws don't rust... i doubt Archangel's wings would've.

[Mr. Socko]

Adamantium is a virtually indestructible man-made steel alloy which does not occur in nature and whose exact chemical composition is a United States government classified secret. Adamantium is not an element: its properties do not qualify it for any know space on the Periodic Table of Elements. Rather, Adamantium is a series of closely related compounds of iron created through a secret process discovered by the American metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain.

It don't rust in other words.

no need to pull out your army of encyclopedias on me..:)

[WorthyStevens]

And a bazooka too!

That would be such a great homage to the comics. :up:

Now I want to see Ben carrying a bigass bazooka in the final battle!

[xwolverine2]

a bazooka?.................................?

[WalkingDead]

a bazooka?.................................?

As I've pointed out in another thread...

Angel can dive and swoop down upon enemies, knocking them backwards. Also recoiling and fluttering his wings fast can knock people backwards and to the ground. Plus imagine him dropping Beast down upon a crowd of Brotherhood members or soldiers, allowing Beast to jump, bound, spin, and kick them all.

And if soldiers are there, they're gonna have weapons...imagine Angel grabbing a machine gun and raining down bullets as he flies overhead. And if he gets a bazooka, BOOM! He's gonna rock all their feeble worlds!

[xwolverine2]

i know but......i never imagined angel would ever use guns...its so anti-angelic

what about cyclops?

[BBraddockLover]

yeah but then again jean is belly-dancing in the backround

lol ive always hated that cover bc of jeans pose

[BBraddockLover]

ive always thought angel was a thousand times more useful with metal wings, but i guess they cant start the character with metal ones

but on second thought the feather ones look better on film and i dont know

[xwolverine2]

lol ive always hated that cover bc of jeans pose
thats how people stood in the 60s:up:

[WalkingDead]

lol ive always hated that cover bc of jeans pose

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that Kirby didn't really want her there...but put her there for the sake of it. Cause it looks like Beast could have been lowered/moved over where Jean was. Also Iceman could be moved up more as well.

However...Jean is in that sort of "early 60's female standard pose" that frequently female characters were put in, not really in action, so much as just there.

I agree that I prefer Archangel over Angel, however his character really needs the build-up of his organic wings and their pressure/relationship with Warren. Plus it really gives him the Angelic look that will obviously play some part on his character's story/development.

[Nightwing]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScottStevensDevils/uncanny1.jpg

What an awesome cover.

[pyromaniac]

i know but......i never imagined angel would ever use guns...its so anti-angelic

And angels don't roll around in greens and profits and arrogance too, but I guess this one does! ;) :D

That's the beauty of Xmen actually... this Warren Worthington the Third arming himself with guns when he should symbolise an effigy of goodwill, hope, and peace. :D

This Xmen has plenty of other character dichotomies too: Nightcrawler, Beast etc.

[xwolverine2]

i think kirby made angel hold the bazooka the wrong way so that he shoots jean....lol

[Specter313]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScottStevensDevils/uncanny1.jpg

That cover's been so influential, it's been copied several times over the years. Check this out:

its been a VERY slow day today.....maybe because of the superbowl and all..people are out buying nachos and dip

"Magneto, you are so dead! I have not one, but TWO snowballs i'm throwing at you, and I can make more! Just you watch, mister!"

[Amazing Spidey]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScottStevensDevils/uncanny1.jpg

That cover is so awesome :up:

but:

does angel normally have a bazooka?:confused:
does iceman literally think he has a chance against magneto by throwing snowballs? :confused:
is there a swing everywhere for beast to swing on? :confused:

ok im done ranting now :up:

[SingItWithMeNow]

does iceman literally think he has a chance against magneto by throwing snowballs?

i think he does. especially when there's no metal around for magneto to use he has to create a bubble. Come on, he's 67 years old. Snow balls should knock him out.

unless he plans to use Beast's swing to slowly knock everyone out.

[phoenix_force]

hmmm is jean dancing magneto to death? lol

[The Original Bamfer]

Wait - So call me late, but, does the stone picture prove Cyke's death? I mean, if the cut off stone is Xavier's and there are two others... So basically, can we rule out photoshopiing for this one? It looks real.

[squeekness]

It looks fake to me, TOB. Sorry.

[The Original Bamfer]

Don't be sorry! My eyes suck without my glasses... so tell me, how does it come off fake... and PLEASE tell me it is Cyclop's stone that is the fake one!

[S7ilver]

Don't be sorry! My eyes suck without my glasses... so tell me, how does it come off fake... and PLEASE tell me it is Cyclop's stone that is the fake one!

If no one had said it was photoshopped I'd totally believe it

[squeekness]

Nah, fake. Look at the grave letters, they're made of computer fonts.For this reason. Look at them, do you think a stone would be so plain? That there would be no dates, no epitaph? Seriously. :)

[sparky_parker]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScottStevensDevils/uncanny1.jpg
WTF?! angel has a bazooka!?!? , I would love to see that in the movie! tho it would prob be corny. And is jean drunk?

[squeekness]

Yeah, so much for Xavier's pacifist code, right? :)

[sparky_parker]

lol... and I thought at first that beast was holding a big ass anchor as well!
damn these x-men are sure aggresive! lol

[xwolverine2]

maybe its a bent lamp post......

[MoiBijou]

Beast: "It doesn't matter where I am, there'll be always a swing for me!"

:D

[xwolverine2]

iceman used to be a melted marshmellow back then.......

[the a1ant]

Beast: "It doesn't matter where I am, there'll be always a swing for me!"

:D

LOL! Ha! :p

[Boba_Fett_123]

Don't be sorry! My eyes suck without my glasses... so tell me, how does it come off fake... and PLEASE tell me it is Cyclop's stone that is the fake one!

They're both fake. Here's why:

The big one from the teaser is real. But if those other two were real, they would be flanking the big one. They wouldn't both be off to one side; that's bad design and framing. Neither of those stones is visible in the shot from the teaser, leading me to believe they were added in Photoshop by whomever made this picture. And in any case, would they really put an X on the gravestones? That's just tacky.

N_z0 posted comparison pics proving the point on page 58, if you're so inclined.

[AcidTWister]

Has anyone else noticed, in the official cast photos, that Xavier and Cyclops are the only two NOT looking directly at the camera?

Just found it a bit ironic since they're a couple of the ones rumored to have death sequences.

More Psylocke Pictures Plz

[Retroman]

Cool Retro!

Yeah me too. Maybe a children's book, a special cinema ticket or something the crew got????:confused::confused:

[BBraddockLover]

yes more betsy pics now!...please

[Electrix]

I dont see them tombstones at the funeral...

[N_z0]

Congratulations for getting my point. :p

[Storm22]

Those tombstones can't be real, surely??!

[Telekinetic]

that looks tacky just with the xlogo. and dont you think it would say beloved xmen or close friends or even the dates of their deaths?

[ts16]

Those tombstones look so generic and bland, yuck. There's no way that pic can be real....at least I hope not lol.

[Telekinetic]

i dont think they are.

[Storm22]

I'm a bit worried now tbh.

[MoiBijou]

The letters are made by computer...

[Telekinetic]

they look like someone copy and pasted them there. they looks like they put them in the middle of nowhere.

[JP]

N_z0, check your PMs. ;)

[Storm22]

Not fair JP, if you know something we don't please share! Pretty please with cherries!

[miketx]

those pics are fake the front of "scott and jeans" headstone are facing the oppsite of the memoreal stone in the trailer pic

[Electrix]

Yeah JP say it here. This is the spoilers forum so this is where your info belongs!

[Telekinetic]

i guess someone got a pic from the memorail scene and got borde so they photoshoped. who was the person who found this pic?

[aaron]

Yeah JP, cough it up ;)

[_BB_]

ah what the hell, may as well join in

do tell JP :)

[miketx]

the memorial stone is facing the crowd and the pic wit the headstones have them facing the other direction

[JP]

I haven't got anything to say. You guys have presented your case and your opinions. There isn't anything I can say to change it. ;)

[MoiBijou]

Let JP alone, he surely has good reasons for not to tell anyone.

Send me a PM, JP...


:D Just joking!

[Telekinetic]

the memorial stone is facing the crowd and the pic wit the headstones have them facing the other direction

ok you already said that in your previouse post.

[JP]

Blah.. your inbox is full. :(

[Storm22]

I haven't got anything to say. You guys have presented your case and your opinions. There isn't anything I can say to change it. ;)

Yeah but if you know-know something that might ease some of our collective worries about this pic, you would tell us wouldn't you? wink,wink,nudge,nudge!

[Storm22]

do not come in here often but if you look to the right of the jean/scott headstone there is the corner of another.my guess is that the pic with one headstone could be an earlier scene and the pic with 3 could be for one at the end.

That's what I'm thinking + worrying about!

[miketx]

i know i was just re phraseing so people can better understand

[aaron]

Blah.. your inbox is full. :(
Mine isnt, hehe

[Electrix]

Send me a PM while your there JP

The real question is: Why would Fox take a picture of this? Just doesn't make sense right?

[Storm22]

and me!!

[Telekinetic]

The real question is: Why would Fox take a picture of this? Just doesn't make sense right?

is this even from fox?

[JP]

N, could you be so kind as to clean out your inbox. :D


:(

[johnsonuk]

The real question is: Why would Fox take a picture of this? Just doesn't make sense right?
it does if you notice where the stones are.they are both to the left of the first one.Why would they not put them either side UNLESS there are more thatside and putting this pic out they could be thinking that any others would be a major shock.

[Storm22]

It really wouldn't make any sense for Fox to take a pic like this and allow it to get out. It's a MASSIVE spoiler and with the way they've been so secretive up to now, this would contradict all thier efforts!

[johnsonuk]

well maybe it is a hoax on there part.but it does not look like a made up pic.

[Pyrox]

do not come in here often but if you look to the right of the jean/scott headstone there is the corner of another.my guess is that the pic with one headstone could be an earlier scene and the pic with 3 could be for one at the end.

Well then who would the big headstone be for? Xavier of course.
Which brings me to my next question.
Would they really kill off Xavier early enough to let him have his own funeral?
I doubt it. And would they, in the midst of all that battle, take time to have a quiet funeral? I doubt that as well.
Unless of course the Big headstone is for Jean, in an earlier memorial.
But then why would she have another one with Scott?
I mean, it certainly is possible that the Big Headstone is for Xavier, and those two for Scott and Jean are real…
but with what I’m seeing right now, I can’t personally see how that would work.
(Unless somebody can explain it for me, lol)

well maybe it is a hoax on there part. but it does not look like a made up pic.
I'm hoping it's a Hoax, set up by Fox...for some unknown reason.

[Specter313]

Since you're already sending out pm JP, could you send it to me too?

[JP]

I haven't sent out any PMs. Only one to N_z0 on an entirely different subject.

[N_z0]

Someone brought up an interesting fact about the bigger headstone (the one shown in the teaser) facing the opposite direction of these two for Scott and Jean. Is it facing a different direction?

I'm not too familiar with funerals/memorials and such (knock on wood) but is that an accepted norm?

[JustABill]

And moi as well. Geez. I should have never shared this photo.

[N_z0]

Just so everyone knows, i declined Jp's offer to send me whatever it was that he was gonna send me.

So please, no one ask me to pm it to them coz then you'll have an empty-bodied (no pun intended :p ) pm.

As morbid as this sounds, I worked in a cemetary one summer, and I did notice that areas that are for a group of people had all the head stones facing the same way, so those ones that say Jean and Scott should face the same way as the main one

[Telekinetic]

lol great.

[MoiBijou]

Me? :D

They are facing the same way as the main one. And let me say that the main one has alot more detail on it. :cool:

[BBraddockLover]

i really think they are fake

Me? :D

Once again, you think it's all about you. :p

[Specter313]

Just another reason to believe that those two are fake.

Just another reason to believe that those two are fake.

How is that so?

[MoiBijou]

Once again, you think it's all about you. :p

That's the problem of being egocentrical.

That and being the center of the Universe, you know...


:D

[Specter313]

How is that so?

Why would one have a whole bunch of detail on it, and those two are left with the bare bones, pun intended, of tombstone decoration with just names and a symbol? It doesn't fit.

[miketx]

[quote=JP]They are facing the same way as the main one. And let me say that the main one has alot more detail on it. :cool:[/quote

why would the back of the memorial stone be facing the crowd???

[JP]

Lets say Dr. King had a few followers that died along with him. And then they were buried next to him. Do you think their head stones would be as big/significant as his?

The way the stones are set up, IMO is very well done. The fact that 'someones' memorial stone is bigger and has a greater amount of detail on it just shows the ammount of importance it holds. Its more of a symbol, if you will.

My brother got them in the Office as well as some in PM.I looked the photos earlier today as well as one of the Magneto Pyro and Mystique standing in a hanger, the brotherhood walking down the street of Jeans parents home, Jugs and Wolv getting ready to fight, Kitty Pryde in a classroom,Mystique fighting off guards in captivity, Colossus in the danger room, Beast Bobby and Storm standing around,Jean & Logan kissing,Jean after she rises from the lake,etc and a bunch of others. Are they photoshoped too?

Theyre werent manipulated.

They were removed at Foxs request,whats with the conspiracy theories???

Its in the best interest of both sites to stay in good relations with Fox, thats it.

[Karea07]

I haven't seen half those pics... :( Where?!!!

[By your Command]

Hi, hope i'm not intruding here but i've been following this whole Gina pic thing and maybe she didn't even had to bother manipulating that pic, if anyone remembers before X2 came out many of those "leaked" and official pics with Jean in the oval office started to appear, so maybe this time they just used the easy way and just took a crappy picture of three headstones and altered them and then they went to Gina's hands and that's my conspiracy theory. (This has to be the crappiest first post in hystory).

[Pyrox]

They are facing the same way as the main one. And let me say that the main one has a lot more detail on it.
Why not just say it?
lol, I mean, you already said what was on it in another thread.
(The Caption Thread I believe)
I won't say it here, in case you'd rather not have it publicly said again

I haven't seen half those pics... Where?!!!
They were never posted publicly...they were hidden in the office.
Which apparently, some people did have access to.

[Specter313]

Lets say Dr. King had a few followers that died along with him. And then they were buried next to him. Do you think their head stones would be as big/significant as his?

The way the stones are set up, IMO is very well done. The fact that 'someones' memorial stone is bigger and has a greater amount of detail on it just shows the ammount of importance it holds. Its more of a symbol, if you will.

But Jean and Scott aren't just "followers". They were some of his first students, some of the most important people in his life. They deserve more than just their name on a stone. It doesn't fit.

[aaron]

Theyd at least get like they d.o.b to d.o.d? right?

[Hugh'sMrs]

The thing that keeps bothering me is that the background in both pictures is the exact same. I keep thinking, could the memorial scene be at the start and pictures of the two gravestones from the end of the film?

I hope not anyway.

That's a good theory. That also explains why Rogue, Bobby, Kitty etc aren't sitting on top of Jean and Scotts graves. They look like memorial stones and not gravestones which would explain why there aren't any mounds of fresh dirt.

What do you mean the stones for Scott and Jean aren't facing in the same direction as the larger one? The big stone doesn't have an inscription that's visible in the wide shot of the funeral service. :confused:

wow so they did except some people in there...:(

it wouldnt make since for the back of the stone to be facing the crowd

The X-Men movies have never given specific dates. Remember when they showed Rogue in Meridian right after the WWII scene with Magneto? It said -- the not too distant future.

So not putting dates on tombstones would keep the time period ambiguous.

[Hugh'sMrs]

Edit for double post. My computer is flickering.

[gap5ewl]

ehh not really its possible. the movies do take place in present day for the most part so they can do it.

[aaron]

But at the same time, dont they say they want to keep the x-world as realistic as it can be within the context?

[JP]

The movies don't take place in the present day. They take place in the 'not too distant future'. They haven't revealed anything in either film that shows the exact dates/ages. I doubt they would start.

[gap5ewl]

i actually made a pretty good theory on the years the movie take place. i hypothosized that x3 take place late 2006.

[Specter313]

The X-Men movies have never given specific dates. Remember when they showed Rogue in Meridian right after the WWII scene with Magneto? It said -- the not too distant future.

So not putting dates on tombstones would keep the time period ambiguous.

But they would still have something on there, like some cheesy "Finally together for the rest of eternity" inscribed on them. It still doesn't fit. Like I said before, I worked in a friggin cemetary for a whole summer, and those stones just do not look right.

[SlimDayspring]

ehh not really its possible. the movies do take place in present day for the most part so they can do it.
My memory's fuzzy on this, but didn't the scene in X1 that introduced Rogue say it was set in the near future?

[S7ilver]

The X-Men movies have never given specific dates. Remember when they showed Rogue in Meridian right after the WWII scene with Magneto?
Meridian? Do you mean Mississippi, or am I missing something?

[Crimson Warrior]

Meridian is a town in Mississippi :)

[SlimDayspring]

why would the back of the memorial stone be facing the crowd???
Maybe the front of the memorial stone is facing out over a cliff?

[gap5ewl]

My memory's fuzzy on this, but didn't the scene in X1 that introduced Rogue say it was set in the near future?
yeah the not too distant future. i was thinking x1 takes place around 2005. x2 and 3 2006.

[SingItWithMeNow]

so, if there's three, who is the BIG tombstone for?

[SlimDayspring]

And, as has been asked before, why would both stones be on the same side as the big one? Why not have one at each side (unless there are a few more deaths as well).

[Wolverini]

so, if there's three, who is the BIG tombstone for?

That , actually , would be pretty simple. If there's 3 going to die , then it's gonna be : Jean , Scott and Xavier.

[Hugh'sMrs]

And, as has been asked before, why would both stones be on the same side as the big one? Why not have one at each side (unless there are a few more deaths as well).

Maybe because Scott and Jean were a couple so they'd put their stones side by side.

[SingItWithMeNow]

coz they are X's right hand men. ?

[Boba_Fett_123]

I'll say it again. Movie making is all about form and framing. If there are three graves, two of the same size, and one significantly larger, then the large grave would be in the middle, and the smaller graves would be on either side, flanking it. It's called ABA form, people. Ratner's not going to break it.

[JanG]

Get back in the cockpit, you'll have your time.

[Storm22]

Just when Fox finally stop photos leaking and we get possibly the biggest spoiler pic!! Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

[JustABill]

JanG? HUH?

[SingItWithMeNow]

cant be a spoiler if its not real.... i mean, killing off cyclops... come on...

[Storm22]

I wish we knew if it definitely wasn't real though! As said by others, I also didn't think it'd make sense to have the large memorial stone in the middle but then 2 on one side of it.
Realistically, how easy is it to manip a pic like this? Say this was originally a wider shot of the garden and main memorial stone - how easy would it be to focus on one side of the memorial stone and photoshop in 2 stones like the ones in this pic.

[conan69]

nevermind

[Storm22]

edit

[PhePhe112]

does anyone have every pic that's been posted?(real or fake...not minps but pics that are suppsed to be from the movie) if so would you please send them to me? or maybe link me somewhere that has them all on one page. THX!

[PhePhe112]

i mean if someone has saved them to their comp. if so you can e-mail them or PM them to me?

[bosef982]

BUt isn't the very fact that Fox jumped on that pic proof that Fox is concerned and that it may be true.

[Specter313]

BUt isn't the very fact that Fox jumped on that pic proof that Fox is concerned and that it may be true.

Fox jumped on all the pics. Matt and or Ted said that Fox wouldn't have cared if it was only one or two things. But it was the sheer number that she was putting out that drew them into action. Them getting into this doesn't prove whether or not one pic is true or false.

[S7ilver]

BUt isn't the very fact that Fox jumped on that pic proof that Fox is concerned and that it may be true.
If the images were photoshopped somehow, then Fox would want to get them off the internet so people wouldn't get the wrong idea (IE.Typing Jean Grey and Scott Summers on the markers to make people believe they die in the movie)

[Joseph_Freefall]

The tombstone pics would be easy enough to manip for an intermediate Photoshopper. Especially considering how bland it looked. Just their names and an X? Aren't the dates of birth and death supposed to be on them as well? And possibly in the case of them being side-by-side, some text of them being a couple?

[Roma]

Just browsed through the whole thread (took me a while). Some great pics. Hope Fox will be releasing some more official stuff soon.

[Kanon]

BUt isn't the very fact that Fox jumped on that pic proof that Fox is concerned and that it may be true.
That's what I thought when they took out RickyH's Omega Red pic :O

[Blackpanther22]

I really doubt those pics are real. The names supposedly carved into the stones weren't even centered. And, by all reports we expect this funeral to be near the beginning of the movie, sometime before the big war scene (not at the the very end), so why would Jean and Scot's tombstones be next to each other. They would already know Jean is alive.

And by the looks of the pic i think that they might have set up an X cemetery like in the comics, i assume for an overall shot. That would explain the X symbol, but the no names or dates on tombstones.

[ljr]

I don't think there real,I mean the girl lied continuously-it isn't out of character for her to photoshop.If i'm proved wrong in may-ok,but for now as far as i'm concerned there fake.

[Lightning Strykez!]

The tombstones are photoshopped. It's a convincing manip job but...a manip job nonetheless. The only one that I've seen that is legit belongs to another character--not Scott or Jean's.

[ljr]

So it belongs to professor x then.lol

[Kanon]

Ok, I'm really curious about any toombstones pic now :) , si if anyone is kind enough to PM...

[AcidTWister]

The monument DOES have it's back facing the crowd. It's very quick, and quicktime's not currently working right on this PC... but in the trailer just over Storm's right shoulder you can see the flame rise up a bit if you move through it frame by frame.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/acidtwister/storm1.jpg

You can see the flame flicker a little ealier than that as well, but it's smaller flickers, and it's just fading in from a blackout.

The reason we know that it's the front is due to a few moments later when we see someone (whom I presume to be Rogue) placing flowers in front of that very same flame. Why would anyone place flowers BEHIND a grave?

[Lightning Strykez!]

I didn't bother spending a lot of time over there because all the photos eventually wound up here anyway. Ted & Matt were being little snots about having the photos so having to remove them is poetic justice. Neener, neener, neener. (Yes I'm 5)




I must disagree with your assessment on Ted and Matt. It is my opinion that they've handled that entire situation professionally. They did not *harbor* her and I believe their latest decision proves where their loyalties truly lie--to the fans and to their site. This decision is appropriate and I applaud their move. Nowhere did I see them behave as "little snots" regarding those photos; in fact they were barely involved in conversations regarding the pics themselves, let alone proprietary.

[miketx]

i stll think that the memorial stone belongs to jean at that its going to be at the beginning of the film

[PWN3R]

Seriously....cuz if they aren't, they look horrible. lol

The writing on them is manipped.

So they're real tombstones with manipped writing?

Don't hate.

Congratulate.

Storm22: I have no idea if those tombstones have an actual purpose in this film and/or who they are meant for. But I do know that the lettering is manipped in that photo. It's very possible that tombs may end up being for Jean and Scott--but I'm not prepared to render judgement based on that photo manipulation.

Why?? I remember a while ago you were with me about this elite bull****. I am sick of this selection of people who can see things.

[NocturnalMadman]

Meh, the more they can see, the less will be new for them when we finally get official releases/see the movie.

Why have everything all at once? Ruins it.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Why?? I remember a while ago you were with me about this elite bull****. I am sick of this selection of people who can see things.


I'm still with you on that...but my take on the *elite* situation had more to do with fans thinking their opinions superceded that of others; a la "I'm a REAL fan". It didn't have much to do with mundane avatars. :o

[RedIsNotBlue]

No the thing is that we all will probably see all of those images too just later on. I just hate people on here who are no more deserving than others getting exclusivity to them.

Well you Lightning...I think your one of the top people on this board and are more deserving. But I see Avalance with an avater of a photo I have never seen and it just irritates me.

[the a1ant]

IMO, I think this was the plan all along. To see how people would react to a situation like this, and see if it starts fights, etc...division. We were all so close and tight, but I've noticed some of that changing. Some attitudes changing. You know I'm not referring to you Lightnin', but I've noticed it happening ever since those images came out. But that's just the conspiracy theory person in me, maybe :o

[gap5ewl]

im just happy i saw pics lol.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I am just plan sick of all of this garbage. Ever since Rickygate this board has always been iffy.

[Electrix]

The people who saw the pictures are the weak people who kissed ass. Even though they knew the pictures werent exactly allowed they still wanted to see them and eventually got a few. I dont know what it is...knowing something that most other people dont makes them feel better or something.

[miketx]

conterversy is always good plublicity

[Lightning Strykez!]

No the thing is that we all will probably see all of those images too just later on. I just hate people on here who are no more deserving than others getting exclusivity to them.


I don't think it has anything to do with users being "more deserving", and more with "who you know".

I'm not one to purposely sit on stuff that I know others will enjoy. So many have requested to see the full-sized version of some pictures that have appeared in my avatars. As a result I've sent an e-mail to FOX's publicist requesting permission to release them formally to Mirko (SHH). If she says "yes" then they'll be up on the front page. If the answer is no...then we'll have to sit tight. It's very likely that these very same shots will be released by the studio *officially*.

Keep in mind though, that just seeing them in avatar thumbnail form removes said "exclusivity." ;)

[the a1ant]

I am just plan sick of all of this garbage. Ever since Rickygate this board has always been iffy.

I'm still dealing with the after-effects of Rickygate. That was another major controversy. Hopefully things will be ok from here on out...though I doubt it. :o :p

You're right Ant. Divide and conquer may very well have been the plan. And it worked to a large extent. Between Gina and RickyH this place has been divided and left in shambles. And it's a shame too, considering that at the end of the day WE ARE ALL FANS OF THE X-MEN and it's that very love for the comic that has drawn all of us here together in the first place.

Personally, I've tried a few different things to reunite this board, but it can't be a two or three-people show to make that happen.

[Hugh'sMrs]

Thanks, I'm just wondering though, did you see a set pic or something with these tombs, with different/no writing or something? ie. do you know that 2 tomb stones like this appear in the movie?

Yeah, spill. How do you KNOW the words on the stones are just manips? Not trying to be argumentative but how about some proof. If the stones are real but just the names aren't then that must mean two of the other X-Men die.

Looking at the large memorial shown in the funeral scene it looks as if the name has been digitally covered for the trailer.

IMO, Its been going on way before the pictures.

[squeekness]

I've been largely silent on this matter, wanting to stay out of the troubles but I think I have something to say. With so many of us and all of our different personalities, clashes will always happen, it's in human nature. What should be done is to let bygones be bygones and go back to enjoying our discusssions instead of trying to pass any kind of blame. We're Hypers which means we're family. We shouldn't be tearing each other apart. :)

[WorthyStevens]

IMO, Its been going on way before the pictures.

True.

But it worsened once the 'review' and pictures hit the site.

[Lightning Strykez!]

I've been told it's okay to release this at SHH...Considering all the PMs about it, I think it should be. ;)

Looks like it's brown, to me. Certainly nothing like blue. She is clearly lit in that pic so I'd say blue eyes can't be hidden in darkness there.

[MoiBijou]

OK. The problem is, sometimes comic book artists forget that detail and we get a Storm with no pupils the whole time. I don't like it. :(

The'll do something with her eyes to make them look clearer or something.

[Specter313]

That shot looks more like a candid shot to me, so maybe she didn't have contacts in, if she wears them in this movie, or maybe they'll add in the blue in post, like they did with Mystique's eyes in X2.

[Lightning Strykez!]

I forget the company's name (Ant would know), but FOX has enlisted someone specifically to doctor eyes up for this film. Undoubtedly, Storm's "white eye glow" SFX will be handled via this company (along with Dark Phoenix's effects) but considering that the promo clearly shows Storm with gray/blue eyes--who knows...maybe in post prod they will be touching her peepers up.

This is an unfinished on-set photo--it's not to be considered a promo shot.

[MoiBijou]

To be honest, if they get the character spot on I dont really care about her eye colour.
