I have a bad feeling about this....

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

...no, not the movie! Not the runtime. Not the director, screenwriters, and no, not Cyclops' fate.

I am 100% convinced that this movie is going to be awesome, and 95% convinced that this movie will be the best one yet (something I didn't think was possible after watching X2)

No, but what I am worried about, is the consistancy. Even though this is a new director, and a new scriptwriter (Zak Penn isn't exactly new, seeing as though he was on X2, and in an interview revealed that Hayter & Co. practically used Penn's idea / outline for X2), and they should add their own flair to it (which I can tell they have. Even though from trailers they definatley kept the tone, it still looks different), there are some things I don't want them to touch.

Mainly, the trademark opening sequence of an Xavier voice over, CGI intro, and camera zooming through the Cerebro door into the first real scene of the movie.

Here's where I'm worried; when asked about it (trademark opening sequence), Kinberg said they wanted to respect the traditions of the franchise, while making it unique. And now, I think I've come to the realization of what that means, and it's gotten me worried.

Look at the 2 trailers we have. Look at the Marvel logo, and look at how the Marvel logo zooms to the screen through the "R" taking us to the scenes...

The Marvel logo in the trailers is unique. I've never seen the Marvel logo "metal" up, or whatever it's doing. It's probably gonna be used in the movie (just like other Marvel movies have had a unique logo sequence), and I have a bad feeling that part of that unique logo sequence is opening up the movie through the "R" in "Marvel", which I hope they don't do, because different directors or not, the whole Cerebro door entrance has become the X-Men's version of "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."

Consistancy, damnit! That's all I ask for!

[Aiden]

I think that's what we all want tbh

[chaseter]

I don't care how it starts just as long as it does.

[The Original Bamfer]

I'm sorry Nell, but that was a waste of a thread... :confused:

Either way - it won't bother me too much... Uh :confused:

[Aiden]

I think it will be cerebro and it will open out on the hubcap of the car Xavier and Erik are driving

So close to 3000!!!!

[Latin_Princess1]

i think this movie is goin to be great..there is alot of action,drauma n some other stuff.....i mean come on wen we watch it were goin to be at the edge of our seats..i know i will....anyways w/e happens happens right???

[Halcohol]

I'm almost positive they will remain true to the iconography of the first two movies, namely with the Xavier voice-over leading into a CG title sequence, finished with the Cerebro doors closing & the zoom to a blue scene.

It would be disrespectful to the tradition established by Singer in the first two movies, and since Ratner and Singer are friends, it would make sense for Ratner to pay homage to his predecessor.

With the metalled-up Marvel logo, I think the practice of a unique Marvel intro began with Hulk, which featured rapid-fire scenes from the Hulk comic, fading to a green background. Spider-Man 1 and 2, while not showing Spidey comic panels exclusively (rather they seem to be random panels from throughout the Marvel catalogue), have established the red background. F4 had F4 panels and then a blue colour, so really the only other choice for background colour of the X3 Marvel logo is yellow, which would seem rather jarring and out of place considering the visual tone of the first two movies. I like the metal logo, but I'm convinced the other opening sequences will remain true to form.

As you said, it'd be like Star Wars without the green-gold LucasArts logo & "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." set to the 20th Century Fox fanfare. It just wouldn't feel to the audience like a real contribution to the series.

[Spidey 2007]

lmao that woudlnt make much sense, they are respecting it.....and thats not the way to do it, any human could tel ya that, there will be a cool opening CGI and vioce over i bet, even a cerebro door, but im sure they might mix it up somehow while still staying traditional




THE BIG WORRYING POINT IS THE ELUMINATED X IN THE FOX LOGO BEFORE ANYTHING! lol

[The Original Bamfer]

good point, Hal... but seriously - would you even care that much after seeing the entire movie?

[BobJM]

I'm sorry Nell, but that was a waste of a thread... :confused:

Either way - it won't bother me too much... Uh :confused:

I couldn't disagree more, Original Bamfer. Nell brings up a great point that hasn't been touched upon lately. I know I would be disappointed if it didn't open with Xavier's monologue and Cerebro's doors. I would also like another voice over at the end (like Jean's in X2), but, hey, that's just me.

[Spidey 2007]

I think it will be cerebro and it will open out on the hubcap of the car Xavier and Erik are driving

So close to 3000!!!!

that...that right there is how exactly it should be!!!!:up: :up: :up: :up:

Congrats on 3k, Aiden :)

The idea of zooming from Cerebro to Xavier/Erik's hubcap is highly likely, since we've heard that will be one of the first scenes... Angel in 1985 would be too young to have grown his wings, so it makes sense they'd start with the Jean Grey sequence.

Don't worry, Spidey, I'm sure we won't be disappointed by lingering yellow X's :)

[Halcohol]

good point, Hal... but seriously - would you even care that much after seeing the entire movie?
Well, no, but it's nice to remain true to form... why have the same type of intro for the first two movies and then change it? It works just fine, and people seem to like it.

[Aiden]

THE BIG WORRYING PIONT IS THE ELUMINATED X IN THE FOX LOGO BEFORE ANYTHING! lol

Actually, I forget if it was Penn or Kinberg, but one of them stated that the "X" in Fox will be the last thing to fade, just like the other 2 movies.

[SingItWithMeNow]

tell you what, when I was at the cineman to see X2, they didnt even have the marvel logo.

and i have X-Men 1 on dvd (original 2001 dvd) and there's no marvel logo at the start, but the X2 dvd has it.

So this will be the first time for me the Marvel logo comes up in front of an X-Film.

But yeah, the cerebro door is like the X-007.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

lmao that woudlnt make much sense, they are respecting it.....and thats not the way to do it, any human could tel ya that, there will be a cool opening CGI and vioce over i bet, even a cerebro door, but im sure they might mix it up somehow while still staying traditional

Well, I'm sure they will have the CGI intro... the CGI intro is a standard in ALL Marvel movies. Every single Marvel movie to come out (except for the 1st "Blade") had it.

I'm just worried that the "Marvel" logo will be their Cerebro door this time around.

[Spidey 2007]

oaky then now take THAT...and think about it.....if they care to do THAT wouldnt they care to stay true to opening form? answer is yes! :up:

thanks for that info too!:up:

[The Original Bamfer]

I think we've heard part of what Xavier's opening monologue will be in the teaser/TV spots...

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

The Marvel logo was in front of X2.

It wasn't in front of X-Men though, because the Marvel logo didn't exist yet. I don't think they started using it until Blade 2. Unless Spiderman came first, because I think Spiderman had it.

But it was in front of X2, I know that for a fact.

[Spidey 2007]

no, that would be terrible, if they had a CGI opening after a vioce over....and then BAM outta nowhere a gay marvel logo...thats just not right because THEN you have a marvel logo inside the movie(started movie) wich is bad.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I think we've heard part of what Xavier's opening monologue will be in the teaser/TV spots...

I wouldn't be surprised, because Xavier's monologue from X2 was in the first trailer for that movie, too.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

no, that would be terrible, if they had a CGI opening after a vioce over....and then BAM outta nowhere a gay marvel logo...thats just not right because THEN you have a marvel logo inside the movie(started movie) wich is bad.

Well, I'd envision it more like, they do the Marvel logo, then go to the CGI intro through the "R", and then just start the movie.

But I could be wrong. It's just a theory I came up with, because I remember asking Kinberg about it, and he said they wanted to respect the franchise, but also make it unique.

[Spidey 2007]

again, tehres no othrer way to use this marvel logo, absolutely no other way, they only use it in the trailers for that effect, trailers always show the companies name liek after its started a little bit, look its hard to explain, but really....how are you worrying about THIS OF ALL THINGS, lol! seriously, it isnt possible to do that amrvel logo as the "cerebro door"

[SingItWithMeNow]

what will the CGI be this time? it was an intergalactic woman in X2, and genetic-cellular brain stuff in X1...

yes yes, but how could that be a problem? welp.......i cant prove anything of course, but serioussly, lol im sure the opening will rock, and the marvel logo will be EXACTLY liek x2 no doubt:up: though the opening CGI will start out slow like it has been, then show maybe recap pictures of x2 ala spiderman 2 but liek in some cool effects or some weird ****, maybe thats what they meant, theres aLOT fo different WAYS you can put your OWN spin on it and still stay true to the originals, without having to PLUG the MARVEL logo right in the beggining of the opening, thats just homo and unthinkable. :up:

[Exploding Boy]

Wow you guys are really crazy.

[BMM]

Yeah, I agree. I think we've heard Xavier's opening monologue as played in the announcement teaser. I also agree with Nell's contention. To open the movie without Cerebro would be inconsistent and a poor choice on the creative team's part.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

again, tehres no othrer way to use this marvel logo, absolutely no other way, they only use it in the trailers for that effect, trailers always show the companies name liek after its started a little bit, look its hard to explain, but really....how are you worrying about THIS OF ALL THINGS, lol! seriously, it isnt possible to do that amrvel logo as the "cerebro door"

Why am I worried about "THIS OF ALL THINGS"?

Because, to be quite blunt with you, there is nothing else about this production that I find to be worrysome. Some others are worried about this, that, or the other thing. But not me. I am totally confident in this movie.

But I am worried about this, because even though it is a minor detail, the minor details can sometimes have a huge impact. And it's the minor details like this that help to keep movies in a series connected, and really feel like a trilogy. Again, it's like Bond not having the gunbarrel sequence, and the theme song intros. It's like Star Wars without "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." and then the intro to the story going up the screen, and off into space.

At least it's like this... the one thing I am worried about in this movie, I'll know straight away. It will be the first damned thing after the previews, so after I see the traditional opening sequence, I can breathe a sigh of relief, and enjoy the movie.

And since I'm not worried about Cyclops' fate (he'll live), I won't be watching the movie through my hands because I'm worried he's gonna eat it hardcore.

[SingItWithMeNow]

also, i dont want it to say "X3" in big CGI letters, not with all this "The Last Stand" title they've been pushing at us so much.

If it just says "X3" then I will refuse to call it "The Last Stand". If Ratner comes up to me and goes: "So how did you like my movie X:Men The Last Stand" I'll be like: "Hey, man, that movie doesnt exist"

[Spidey 2007]

I think it would be cool to have it underwater. Lets say this: We know the opening scene is Jean's flashback. I could see the opening being underwater, lurking toward something... nothing anyone can really make out. But suddenly, an eye -right in the screen- opens and glows brightly, with a warm, red fire. Then, it could go into the eye, travel some random neuro pathways, end up in the brain -doors shut- open to flashback OR it could just go into the eye -doors shut- and open to flashback. But I think it would be cool, a underwater, Alkali CGI opening.

[SingItWithMeNow]

I don't mind them changing up the CGI sequence. That's fine.

In fact, I'm pretty sure they are probably gonna do the door slam, and claws, like they did at the end of the teaser, showcasing the logo for "X3". And I wouldn't mind that. Just as long as there is an Xavier voiceover, and the Cerebro door thing, I'll be happy.

That'd be cool.

One thing that I like is how the CGI sequence both times thus far has forshadowed the plot of the movie.

X-Men had Magneto's machine effects in the CGI sequence

X2 had the shifting Cerebro panels (when Magneto alters Cerebro to target humans)

X-Men 3 could have some water or fire effects, and that would be awesome.

[SingItWithMeNow]

X2 didn't say "X-Men United" in the CGI sequence, just "X2"... yet it's still called X2: X-Men United

Nope, he's not involved in the movie.

And in the case of themes, inconsistancy is actually consistant.

Ottman's theme for X2 was different than the theme by Kaman for X-Men, so there's no reason why Powell's for X-Men 3 should be the same as Ottman's for X2.

[Spidey 2007]

X2 didn't say "X-Men United" in the CGI sequence, just "X2"... yet it's still called X2: X-Men United

the movie is still x3 and can be called the last stand because thats teh SUBTITLE.

X-men 3: The Last Stand aka X3 aka X-men teh last stand or the last stand or X3 the last stand its all the ****ing same thing...doesnt matter what it says and i surely HOPE it says "X3" at the opening or at least "X-men 3"

as much as i want consistancy, i do agree with you here, the hardcore consistanteee will want inconsistant music, lol i hope powells theme is really ahrd hitting and in your face or something, lol or really emotional.

As much as I don't think Fox is as much of the devil as everyone makes them out to be when it comes to these movies, they sure do like to force their way into a subtitle!

I didn't know that about X-Men United, I honestly just thought Bryan Singer was that uncreative when it came to titles, lol.

But it's the same case with The Last Stand. When asked about the title, Kinberg replied "Is that the title? It wasn't myself, Zak, or Brett" (answering the question of who came up with the title), so it was obviously Fox.

Now that I've thought about it, they better not change the intro too much. I never really liked them X1 and X2 intros b/c I wanted to see the beginning right away, but it sort of gives the movie a slow-pacing feeling into the beginnin. I'm really liking the idea of the Cerebro door cutting to Xavier/Erik's hubcap.

Also, has it been confirmed that Beast will or won't be Xavier/Erik's driver?

[Retroman]

I agree that it would be a shame if they altered the opening. But is the X opening as recogansable as the 007 opening, Spider-Man's final swing, Superman orbit etc? Will it matter to the general audience? Should this be such a big concern in comparison to the other worries we have with this film. I think not.

I don't recall the camera zooming through the "R" in other Marvel movies, I just remember the logo fading out.
I don't think we should rely on that too much...I remember how the FOX logo in the X2 trailer was all metallic and turn into squares, similar to how Cerebro breaks apart in the into to the final film...

I'm really doubting that they'd change much to the beginning of the movie. They'll likely keep the lingering 'X', the Cerebro doors, the Xavier monologue and all that..

:up:

I hope you're right.

I know they will fade out the "X" on Fox last. Penn I believe it was, confirmed it already.

I'm just worried about Kinberg's comments, about trying to make it unique.

If unique just means their CGI sequence, then that's fine. But if it means getting rid of the voiceover, and the Cerebro doors, I'll be disappointed.
